Hello, :?


I have problem with flash plugin in firefox. Watching fim in YouTube when I want to zoom to full screen - flush plugin is jamming.

What's the problem? I use www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.1.102.64 .


Reagrds and in advance thank you for answer! :)

There isn't a whole lot you can do here. Flash acting poorly in full screen or at any other time is pretty common place, since Adobe won't do any hardware acceleration in non-Windows platforms. One thing you can do is this:

Edit this line in your /etc/adobe/mms.cfg:
Code:
OverrideGPUValidation = 1


I'm not exactly sure if this really does enable GPU acceleration, but it does seem to help with performance. Apparently flash 10.2 is suppose to work a little better, but again Adobe is only enabling certain acceleration techniques in IE.

Hey, i have same trouble too :D
Before Gentoo(amd64) i used Debian(x86), there was that problem, and Slackware(x86), there wasn`t problems with flash o_O Firefox, the same plugins(adobe-flash, in gentoo i unmasked it, 10.2.152.27_p201011173-r1), nvidia video card, proprietary drivers, opengl in nvidia implementation. I dont understand why on slackware all was normal о_О

Vibe, try using alt+tab, it helps me to watch videos in full screen^^

You might be running into an issue with amd64, since adobe wasn't supporting 64 bit properly. With flash 10.2 they are suppose to be including native support again.

Actually I just updated to flash 10.2 today since it's been marked stable, and I have to say the performance feels much better. I have no benchmark tests for this, but sites that used to be choppy run very smooth now. I'm still using the OverrideGPUValidation option.

thanks you very much for answer!unfortunately your advice isn't acting.By the way - all options in my /etc/adobe/mms.conf are hashed without option you order to change.So what else can I do to solve my problem?(alt + tab not work)

Regards :)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean here... are you saying that all the options in mms.conf are commented out? That is normal... you will want to uncomment that line I mentioned and set it equal to 1.

Have you tried flash 10.2 yet?

Also, I see in your profile that you are running KDE. Are you using any of the fancy visual effects? Turning those off might help.

Yes, I tried flash 10.2 with the same effect.

...I use KDE but I am not using any fancy visual effects.

I use the newest unstable flash on amd64 with 4 gigs of ram and have no problem.
I recommend adding flash to you package.keywords.
