 It appears in the middle of the flash player screen (black at this point
 as it is trying to load the stream)

Hmmm.  I never got that.  Perhaps I killed flash before it ever got to 
that.  Or perhaps it's part of the code tangle that the error message 
never came up.


 I've been having problems with flashplayer also-- for a long time and
 over many upgrades.  When, using firefox, I visit a site which invokes
 flashplayer, the cpu load begins to increase it can go from 0.4 to
 6.8.  If I then close the tab to that site, the cpu load goes back down
 to where it was.  I've talked with friends who use Mac OS X and Windows
 and they both experience similar problems with flashplayer, so I always
 assumed it was something in flash.
 Yes, flash player appears to have some nasty bits - maybe this is
 another reason why Apple / Steve Jobs was so anti flash on the iPhone.
 I am now using Konqueror with flowplayer - this is a java / flash
 incarnation that seems to work fine.

Rob, thanks for the tips.  I'll give those a try.

 Hi List,
 I have been getting the above errors for the last few months and
 extensive google foo has been less than conclusive - but indicates that
 the requesting flash player is somehow putting the wrong url content
 into the request.

 After I recently did a yum update on my wife's laptop she too started
 getting these errors. She has an old sony laptop running 5.8 and other
 than this error on various streaming tv links it is working just fine.
 Needless to say, she is less than thrilled with my IT skills at this
 point as she can no longer watch her favourite TV programs.

 So I decided to try and track down the problem on my own machine (CentOS
 6.2) where yumex allows you to see and load older versions of a package.
 I started with a downgrade (and then a 2nd one  and then the 5th
 one) of libflashplayer.so - fortunately rpmforge has older versions.
 Going right back to a 10.x version did not fix the problem. Thus I guess
 it is a firefox / xulrunner problem, however I am not happy to go back
 too many versions here as the exploit potential is much higher.

 Then I tried konqueror with flash enabled and guess what - no problems
 with any of the links that fail under firefox / libflashplayer.

 So my question to the list members - does anyone else have this problem
 with flash under firefox?? What do I do to fix it?
 TIA
 Rob
