Flash is working for me, using the flashplugin-nonfree and nspluginwrapper packages. So I can play flv files, though I've noticed that I have to close Iceweasel from time to time or else I just get a blank area where the flash is supposed to be. I usually have a lot of tabs open, which is no doubt the problem, that's pretty resource intensive. Of course, I tend to download things, using the Firefox Download Helper plugin, since I have firewire, and need Jack to hear audio. Still haven't bought any cheap speakers to plug into my onboard sound for this stuff. I've been using MPlayer from the debian multimedia site, since Totem won't play a lot of things, and I'm not sure what other evil codecs to install to make that happen. I don't like MPlayer that much though, you can't open a text file playlist from the GUI, just from the command line. And you can't see your playlist, like in other players. When I had VLC installed, I *think* that things worked a little better and that's been my favorite media player so far. But there is no Debian package with Jack enabled and I need that for my firewire card. I tried compiling it myself, that was a disaster! Tim, do you have any urls for the other types of files, so I can try them?
