Hi,

I'm in the UK trying to watch catchup TV via
http://www.itv.com/ITVPlayer/?intcmp=NAV_ITVPLAYE2
on Slackware Linux 12.2.

I have the latest Flash 10.0.32.18, and browsers Firefox 3.0.14 and
SeaMonkey 1.1.18

I usually have the colour depth set to 24 bit, 16.7 million colours in
xorg.conf, using the line "DefaultDepth 24". But then I only get sound
and no picture - just a black space.

Changing to 16 bit "DefaultDepth 16" then the picture is OK.

I prefer to use 24 bit, as with 16 bit some other graphics show colour
artifacts.

Any other UK Slack users having this problem?
Or know how I can use 24 bit and still view ITV player?

Cheers,
Peter

I'm in the UK too and also run at 24bit depth. IO just tried this and
got the same black space - weird. I presume it's something to do with
Flash Player but I don't know what to fix it. Interesting and annoying.
Cheers,

It worked for me in 24bit (Slack 13.0, FF 3.5.2, Flash 10.0.22, nVidia
96.43.13)

Tried the latest Flash (10.0.32.18) and it doesn't work (sound, no display).

Looks like a bug report at Adobe is due (ugh, I can't make head or tail
of their bug tracker, the only project is 'Livecycle Data Services'?)

I've uploaded the 10.0.22 version here if you don't have it:
