[noobusinglinux]

hi guys
im currently having a problem with flash moves

does any body know a way i can make flash work with desktop effects?

This has been discussed before. Like you said, it's a problem with Desktop Effects. I can suggest a couple of workarounds you can use to maximize the video screen if you'd like.

Only for YouTube though...
1. Get greasemonkey addon for FF and download the YouTube Enhancer Script. It will allow you to set the video size. There's a maximize option which fills your entire browser window. So if you use that in combination with FF in fullscreen mode, it is almost as good.
2. Someone else suggested this one. If your video link is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrwjnqEP66U
Remove the "watch?" and replace the = with / as:
http://www.youtube.com/v/VrwjnqEP66U
You'll only get the video which fills your FF screen. This in combination with Fullscreen mode should do.

Hope that helps.

Hello
you can ditch adobe flash on youtube, vimeo and blip.tv using this excellent (fairly) new firefox addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161869/ all you need is the gecko-mediaplyer plugin

Do I need to uninstall Flash player or will FlashVideoReplacer take priority on sites like youtube? Can I still use Flash player for sites that aren't compatible with this addon?

Thanks,

Hi
no need to uninstall flashplayer, this addon only works on the 3 sites I mentioned and you can still use flash on everything else, give it a try, if you no like just uninstall

Hello
do you have vlc-mozilla plugin installed ? I just tried this on my mates fedora 12 pc and it refused to work until I uninstalled vlc plugin, while you're there disable nspluginwrapper if you want to try it again or give this a try http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=249822 it's much the same only a few more steps

Also, you might want to disable hardware acceleration in flash by right-clicking in the flash window > preferences. It solved the problem for me. This is only an issue for me with intel-based video hardware.
