(SOLVED) Missing plugin in Firefox and Chromium (images)
« on: May 19, 2012, 04:00:35 PM »
Which plugin do I need in Firefox and Chromium in order to view a sequence of pictures in a web site?
This is the web site of a hotel in Rome Italy that I tried:
http://www.hotelgoldenrome.com
In the center of the web site in my PCLOS LXDE (2011-09 CD fully updated) I only see a blank space. Chromium informed a missing plugin. Firefox only showed the blank space.
In a Windows PC I saw that there is a sequence of pictures.
My Chromium version is: 16.0.912.63
My Firefox version is: 12.0
Please advice. Thank you.

that is flash, it is a swf file, update your system and install flash latest version

opera opens it without problems

nice expensive hotel with very nice rooms

It's my understanding that Google builds  it's "Pepper" flash into the API in Chromium therefore no flash plugins required

I did a reload and installed the updates, then I reinstalled flash-player-plugin, but no change in both: Firefox and Chromium. I can't see the sequence of pictures.
Update: Opera version 11.64, build 1403 neither.

what do you see on opera?  just empty space, a black square?

between installs did you keep the /home partition?

not sure if adobe flash setting could be a problem here

do you have problems opening other flash objects or videos?

In Opera I see a blank square.
I am not aware if between installs I kept the /home partition.
Now I realize that I have problems opening videos. I tried with youtube. Some videos worked well, but others not. There are some that I could see well several months before, but now I can't.

Latest flash and old(er) video cards/chips is a nono.
Older versions:
11.1.102.63 working well on my Nvidia 8400GS and ATI 9600 Pro
10.3.183.19 doing the trick on Nvidia Riva TNT2, ATI Radeon and Rage, obscure older low mem video configs.

I replaced
as root
the libflashplayer.so
from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
with the one from the archieved adobe .rpm files

With a Synaptic update with newer flash it will be overwritten,
so pinning of the last installed flash would protect your changes.

Be aware, using older versions could be a security risc.
Choose safe without watching flash, or watching flash with knowing you are in danger ;)
