I cant play any flash programs at all. I just looked in my plugins folder and dont have anything in mine either. I have been trying to get this fixed for ages. Its interesting that somebody else is having similar problems. I have been following this, to see if I can learn anything from it.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] bbc listen again anomaly
The link worked for me. Have you linked the 'nphelix.so' and 'nphelix.xpt' plugins to your /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins folder? Are the plugins enabled in firefox?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] bbc listen again anomaly
> However, just lately I find that some programmes do not play and a > message appears that I need to 'install real player'. Two things come to mind regarding iplayer and realplayer: - There is a 'low quality' mode, possibly called dialup or something similar, which is a link at the bottom of all pages. I believe this plays everything in realplayer (or tries to) instead of flash until reset - Some channels seem to do everything only with realplayer, irrespective of quality setting. BBC World Service is one example. Robert. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] bbc listen again anomaly
Most of bbc radio listen again is flash based I think, and it works ok for me. However, just lately I find that some programmes do not play and a message appears that I need to 'install real player'. In a machine which has an older install - an asus 900 which is still running the original xandros offering - such programmes play ok. just for the record - in one machine with 9.04 on it, I did actually install RealPlayer from a deb an dalso on 8.04 machine from a binary. Neithe rworked for the problem item. A particular example is the michael bentine show for example http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00bv2gw/episodes/player strangely, shows with this problem do work sometimes. It is as if firefox (3) or th eplugins are not fully working with bbc iplayer any ideas please? -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
