No flash video after changing master channel?

Recommended Posts

I seem to have lost the flash-plugin on my 64-bit system after trying to change the master channel in my sound mixer.

When I go to Comcast's The Fan or Youtube all I get is a blank space where the video used to be. There is no player showing on Youtube, just a white space where the player screen used to be. On Comcast it opens to a new window like normal but the " loading...." progress bar is not present and all I get is a black screen and that message that says " done" at the bottom of Firefox when a page is done loading.

I had updated lame and kaudiocreator but everything still worked as far as can recall.

I did a slight variation on that:

nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib//flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

That got the video portion back, though, now I have no sound in flash.

Now I'm back to where I started.

Before, when I was trying to get sound to work with flash, I thought I fixed it by moving my npwrapper.libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins.

And that command you suggested needs to be run every time I open Firefox; it doesnt stick. :wall:

I am using Mandriva 2008.1 free spring x86-64.

thanks for helping

I'm not currently using the 64-bit version, but I would suggest that you try moving the npwrapper.libflashplayer.so back to its original location. Then try the command that I previously posted.

 

Please see the 2008.1_Errata.

Update:

I now have flash working- video and sound- but this thing isnt solved, yet. I uninstalled flash-plugin and FF and had to uninstall kerry/beagle/gluezilla etc along with it in order get all the libs associated with them off so I could re-install Flash and FF.

Well after that I ran

nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

re-started FF and everything worked again. Trouble is, I have to run the nspluginwrapper command everytime I want to use Flash.

I tried running the 32bit version of FF and it said I needed to either update Flash or make sure Java was enabled. :roll:

I got rid of that too.

And so it goes...

 

:)

edited command I posted.

First of all, do you run this command as root? :unsure:

 

Please run the command as root, then post the output of

nspluginwrapper -l

Also post the output of

cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins; ls

Then start firefox from the command line with (as user)

mozilla-firefox

play some flash video, then close firefox and post everything in the terminal. Now restart firefox from the command line again and play some flash video, then close firefox and post everything in the terminal one more time. :)

First off, I did not run the command as root and I was mistaken in the command I was telling you about; I posted

 nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

 

when it was actually

nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

 

When I ran

nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

 

I got this:

[root@localhost ~]# nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
nspluginwrapper: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so is not a valid NPAPI plugin

 

When I ran

nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

it just returned me to the root prompt.

 

OK then I did this:

[root@localhost ~]# nspluginwrapper -l
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
 Original plugin: /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
 Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.5

 

For the next command I altered it to this:

 cd /usr/lib/flash-plugin; ls

 

and it resulted in this:

[root@localhost ~]# cd /usr/lib/flash-plugin; ls
homecleanup*  libflashplayer.so*  LICENSE  README  setup*

 

Then I ran this:

cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins; ls -la
total 120
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 2008-06-05 17:14 ./

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root	61 2008-04-16 18:50 npwrapper.so -> ../../../../usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/x86_64/linux/npwrapper.so*

 

 

Here is the output of FF the 1st time I ran it from the CLI:

[lynch@localhost ~]$ firefox
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied]

I could watch and listen to the flash video I watched at youtube.

 

Here is the output of FF the 2nd time I ran it from the CLI:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied]

(npviewer.bin:11162): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ia_ora",
Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8

I was able to watch and listen again without problem.

I hope this is what you wanted. On the 64bit version of Spring the libs and stuff are in different places so I posted a few extra things. :)

I'll check back later.

Thanks for the help.
