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? and this: 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. – 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

  • @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
