I never got that. Perhaps I killed flash before it ever got to that.

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. > > On 05/21/2012 11:09 PM Rob Kampen wrote: >> 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.

Re: [CentOS] 200 Stream not found errors in flash player and firefox
Rob, what are you doing to get the error message? I.e., what command or application are you invoking and where does the "200 Stream" error appear? 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.
