Is anyone else having problems with the flash plugin
(flashplugin-nonfree) on unstable on a 64-bit platform?

On some sites, the flash videos load but the plugin seems to ignore my
mouse clicks so I can't start the video playing. This does not happen on
all sites - snotr.com works ok, but the video on this page:

http://www.heatbeads.com.au/bbq-tips/44-bbq-tips/149-how-to-light-weber-bbq-heat-beads.html

does not work. I cannot interact with the player at all. All my clicks
are ignored. I can right click to get the context menu, but if I select
"Settings..." I get a dialog that I cannot interact with.

This started happening not so long ago (sometime in the last month I
guess, but I dont use flash sites much so I dont know exactly).

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree but that
made no difference.

I have faced several problems; non-free software is often not so
reliable.

I am able to play that video; I am using Adobe Labs' amd64 Flash
plugin (a web search will get you the plugin). However, do note that
that plugin does not work well with Lenny, due to some issues with the
minimum required versions libraries it is linked with.

Sorry for not being much help.

It runs fine (all the "fine" flashpayer can run) under Lenny.

That site is working here. The "play" button starts the movie.

Have you seen any warning message logged in the Iceweasel "console error"
once you click in the play button? Maybe your problem comes from browser
(and javacript), and not from flashplayer plugin itself.

Yes, I'm having the same problem you described (below) on testing on a
32 bit machine. We're not alone, when I tried to trouble shoot this I
found a bunch of forum posts
( http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=650257 ) detailing the
issue.

A 'fix' that works for me is to right-click on the flash screen, then
double-left click on the flash button (play, pause, full-screen etc).
This works on Hulu, the only way I can view videos full screen.

Hopefully this will be resolved in the next version of the flash plugin
or gtk, but I don't understand the details.

Cheers,

Tyler

I forgot to read that before my last reply. Seems other's have traced it
back to the WM too.

I incorrectly attributed this fix to Camaleón in my last reply. Sorry.
