Flash 10.2 is released

release notes Flash Player 10.2 Release Notes

According the article I read, we’ll finally see real multi-screen support. I’ll be able to watch a full-screen video on one screen while working/playing on the other. There’s some talk of “huge optimizations in CPU usage” but I’m not holding my breath.

I found this interesting about the new flash:

H.264 Hardware decoding on Linux is available as an experimental feature and has been tested on NVidia GT 330 and Broadcom BCM70015 GPUs. Users may choose to enable hardware decoding by adding EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in an mms.cfg configuration file. Users may experiance instability and crashes while watching hardware accelerated video. Please report any issues to Adobe Bug and Issue Management System.

  • mm.cfg: user-local configuration file; lives in user’s home directory on Unix systems and is largely only useful when using content debugger versions of the Player
  • mms.cfg: system-wide configuration file, designed to allow administrators to set policy for all users on a system; lives in /etc/adobe on Unix systems

has anyone tried this?

I didn’t, as indeed performance enhancements are announced for pretty much every version of Flash (and hardly fulfilled), but this version actually uses less cpu-power on my system than the prior versions (about half). However, it does crash occasionally - which isn’t too bad insofar as Firefox manages to stay alive despite the crashes. After reloading the respective site it works again.

unfortunately the 64bit is still in beta but it’s working fine for me Download Flash Player “Square” Beta Preview Release - Adobe Labs

Hi, having a shocking time installing this and getting it to work in Firefox. Can someone please guide me on which version to install and how to do so? Everything I have tried has failed. many web pages now use the updated Flash.

Tried to uninstall and reinstall. Now i have lost flash Player completely. Could someone kindly pull me out of this mess. Anyone out there, please?

Firefox is clean of Flash now? No remnant plug-ins?
Then go to a website requiring Flash (such as …tube). At the
top rim of the website pane you will be offered to install the
necessary plug-in. Follow the dialogue. Done. (Advice: Don’t
follow the offer in the flash window!)

Why should one do that? The current version of the Flashplayer is provided by the official update repository.

I have tried this to disable Hardware Acceleration which is always enabled by default and “leaking” the video on black areas, and still always enabled by default, tried with 0 and False, on my ~/ and /etc/adobe.

have you tried: while playing any flash, right click on it and go
Settings, then click on the display icon tab, and then choose to enable
or not the Hardware Acceleration

(i’ve not tried the other, but how might it hurt if you backup and can
restore the original .cfg files? btw, there are no mm.cfg files on my
Linux, is there on yours???)
