Running Suse 11.4 with LXDE
Firefox 13.0
Since doing a fresh install from an earlier version of Suse running KDE, I have not been able to view any videos online. Youtube has just been a black screen and on other website I have had what my children call the ‘lego block’.
I had the opportunity over the past few days to try and do something about it. When I check with YAST it says flash-player is installed, but in when I type ‘about:plugins’ in the Firefox address bar. It does not show.
Last night when I was just about to give up and ask the forum to help me resolve it I found this thread:
http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/multimedia/452884-multimedia-one-click.html
So I did it, the Gnome version. Today when I turned on the machine, I can watch Youtube videos. In YAST flash-player is still installed, but I think it is a newer version. about:plugins looks the same, but now has Sliverlight plugin.
When I go to:
Firefox Web Browser — Plugin Check & Updates
DivX® Web Player still says it needs updating and it now shows Sliverlight as needing updating. Sliverlight appears to update, but nothing happens when I click the update button for DivX Web PlayerShould I now just be happy it works? If anyone can see anything obvious that I have missed let me know. I just worry this might be important if I have trouble with it in the future.
