Installed it. This is hilarious.

@macey
The package
hideuseragent
is the key to your problem (or maybe newer one: useragenttool)

@kent
Did you close all browser windows (maybe also killall browser and killall browserd)? Or just rebooted?

I followed the noob guide and managed to get the BBC iplayer site to play TV shows, the audio plays fine but the video lags/stalls even when i tried using the old 'pop out browser' trick.

Thankfully the radio now works on the iplayer site :)

I have the same problem but just assumed the n900 is not powerful enough to play the content. Is BBC Iplayer really working (& watchable) for other N900 users?

Flash is dead, even its owner has abandoned mobile flash a while ago because they going to focus on html5 tools.

Wow, thanks for providing such helpful information. And after a quick search you're right. I have found no flash on the web any longer, and the flash player is completely useless. Thanks to you we are all more informed. [This is sarcasm.]

Yes, it was directed to you (sorry for typo).
Then it seems you are the only one. I have no problems (except video lagging, which I had also with flash9).
Did you use tweakflashver in between? (I do not expect, but ...)

Please do NOT use twekflashver with that (manually to be hex-edited) flashplayer! It will produce a mess (probably, did not try ;)).

Someone please upload the modified libflashplayer.so here?

Seriously get over flash, or go to android if you want the "latest" flash. Adobe has even abandoned linux altogether now.

add this information in first post in first page

[QUOTE=gkhnkrts7;1277160][QUOTE=sEKI;1276589]I know this has been all said on the last few pages but I just though I'll pull it all together in single noob (hopefully!) friendly post...

So, in order to have flash player v10.1 working with youtube and embeded facebook videos here's what I did:

1. Remove old flash player, type in terminal as root (OPTIONAL):

Code:

apt-get remove --purge adobe-flashplayer

2. Download new version from (link provided by pinochio):
Flash Player v10.1.98.88

3. Install Flash using:

Code:

dpkg -i /path/to/adobe-flashplayer-10.deb

4. Bump the version up by faking it through hexediting:
I've used hexedit available for n900 which you can get with this command:

Code:

apt-get install hexedit

type this to hexedit libflashplayer.so:

Code:

hexedit /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so

5. Once in Hexedit, press CTRL+S and type in 31302e31 and press enter, the string you've just found need to be changed to 31322e31

6. Now, press CTRL+S, type "y" and search for 31302c31 and change it to 31322c31

7.Press CTRL+S then "y" again.

Close terminal and enjoy new faked v12.1.98.88 flash player :)
