I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 on an ideapad P500. I have watched videos from HBO, but suddenly my computer stopped streaming them. I do get the introductory HBO screen, but then it shows the message "Optimizing Video Quality" forever.

First I thought it was the TV company, but I was able to stream it on another computer; together with a few blogposts that I found, I come to think the problem lies in my computer.

I tried checking the flash plugins, but couldn't find anything. And then I even did a clean reinstall of Ubuntu 13.04, and still with no luck.

I have searched around, but I am not an expert on such matters. Any help will be apppreciated.

Thank you and have a nice day.

See my answer to the question @bytebender linked. I think it will apply here too. – gertvdijk Jun 21 '13 at 12:24
