I have tried using firefox, chromium, chrome, epiphany, but nothing seem to work. Few days back, youtube was working like a charm and suddenly it stopped working. I had ubuntu-restricted-extras installed in my system. I have tried uninstalling previous flash package and installing other flash packages like adobe-flashplugin, flashplugin-installer, libflashplayer.so (which came in some package from adobe.com), gnash (one at a time). gnash is even unable to stream the videos from youtube. Although, flash seem to be installed correctly (confirmed by about:plugins in firefox). Do not suggest me to purge remove flash again as i did it like 10 times.

In case my system's configuration is relevant, here it is:

RUNNING IN: Vmware Workstation 10
CPU: AMD A8-4500M (given 2 cores)
GPU: AMD 7640G+7670M
RAM: 4 GB (given 2 GB)

(PS: I experience a lot of problems in linux for having AMD machine)

  • Can you try using the HTML5 player? – Tim Jul 07 '14 at 07:56
  • @Tim yes HTML5 is working but it doesn't work as nice as flash does. It takes a lot of time to load and stream in my place (with my internet connection). – n0noob Jul 07 '14 at 08:08
  • Yes, I have the same problem, occasionally I have to disable it. I am guessing that everything is updated and you've restarted completely? – Tim Jul 07 '14 at 08:09
  • @Tim I did a 'dist-upgrade' just now.....still the same. BTW how do you disable HTML5? – n0noob Jul 07 '14 at 08:10
  • You can use: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-youtube-html5-pla/enmofgaijnbjpblfljopnpdogpldapoc in chrome. – Tim Jul 07 '14 at 08:25
  • Have you tried questions like this: [How to install Flash player on Ubuntu?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/341428/how-to-install-flash-player-on-ubuntu) and this: [How do I install Adobe Flash Player](http://askubuntu.com/questions/11/how-do-i-install-adobe-flash-player) – Wilf Jul 07 '14 at 09:30
  • @Tim do you use gnome too?? – n0noob Jul 07 '14 at 10:36

    @Wilf I have tried flashplayer plugin, google chrome and gnash plugin already. And now I am giving a try to install Pipelight and Pepper as mentioned in questions you pointed. – n0noob Jul 07 '14 at 10:45
  • No, I'm using unity. – Tim Jul 07 '14 at 17:52
  • For Mozilla Firefox make sure that you install the native flash player plugin. `sudo apt-get install flashplugin-insttaller`. Then open the url "about:plugins" and search for flash `libflashplayer.so`, and make sure that its there. Now keep in mind that flash player does not receive updates (except security updates) anymore. Version 11.2.202.350 was the last release. See [Here](http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/). – Mitch Jul 08 '14 at 07:06
  • @Mitch I read in some post that flashplugin-installer package is not appropriate for x64 systems while adobe-flashplugin is. However, I have tried each of them to make it work, but still the same. BTW this are plugins installed in my chrome and firefox http://s8.postimg.org/u49ynvw11/Chrome.png http://s8.postimg.org/zeexf6g9x/Firefox.png – n0noob Jul 08 '14 at 07:23
  • @Mitch "/usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/" seem to be empty – n0noob Jul 08 '14 at 07:27
  • Just copy `libflashplayer.so` to the plugins directory in Firefox. – Mitch Jul 08 '14 at 08:03
  • that's weird but the problem came back after a restart – n0noob Jul 08 '14 at 13:04
  • I am experiencing the same problem in windows now, which i guess is due to bad youtube server. It is going on and off automatically. Thanks anyways!! – n0noob Jul 09 '14 at 07:24
