Adobe Flash Player doesn't play embedded clips

[nikman]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-installer

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10 amd64

I have a really strange issue. I can't watch any embedded youtube
clips in any browser on my Ubuntu 9.10. I tried firefox and epiphany.
Does anybody has the issue?

Details:
  For example, I can't watch youtube video from
http://adblockplus.org/en (just click play and nothing happens). But if
I click right button of my mouse and choose "watch on youtube" I can
play the clip
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNvb2SjVjjI&feature=player_embedded).

Also I found out that with swfdec-mozilla all works... It seems that flashplugin-installer doesn't work for me.

Hi,

Same thing happened to me. Here is a workaround: dpkg --purge flashplugin-installer, then install flashplugin-installer again. It worked fine for me.

Hello again,

I'm sorry, that happened again. This workaround above did nothing. Sometimes it works, sometimes fails.

The same happens under Konqueror
