Video not view-able
I have been visiting several sites lately in which the video content was not view-able. Example: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/05/republicans-get-in-my-vagina-kate-beckinsale_n_1484918.html?ref=fbsrc=spcomm_ref=false There is a video there that displays perfectly in MS Windows in either IE8 or 9 and Firefox. However, under FreeBSD-8.3 with the latest version of Firefox all I get is a black box. No controls to click, etcetera. This sort of thing happens way to frequently on way to many sites. It cannot be a simple blame Microsoft thing since these sites work under Firefox when used in MS Windows. Does anyone have a possible solution? -- Carmel ✌ carmel...@hotmail.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

It's a bit anecdotal, but I've had fewer problems with flash video since upgrading to modern hardware a year ago. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Try disabling it for that page and reloading.

The Windows machine is actually older then the FreeBSD one. -- Carmel ✌ carmel...@hotmail.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Define modern hardware. The Windows machine is actually older then the FreeBSD one. There's no point in comparing performance on Windows and FreeBSD. Anything other than Windows is an afterthought as far as Flash development is concerned. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
