Might be worth rolling back to FlashPlayer-11.2.202.228 which seems to work fine with auto-updated Firefox 12.Sylvander wrote:1. @playdayz:
(a) I have getflash-0.9.9.pet installed and used it to install flashplayer11-11.2.202.235, which is the latest version offered by getflash.
(b) Firefox-11 has now auto-updated to firefox-12, but this still cannot play Youtube videos.
Do you think that uninstalling Firefox-12 obtained by auto-update, and installing Firefox-12 using the PET you linked would be worth trying?
(c) I already have installed "Google_Chrome-18-Lucid", and that plays Youtube videos OK.
(d) The reason I got into this at this time is because FTT at www.pcguide.com/vb/ cannot get sound [video is OK] on a George Carlin Youtube video in his desktop [Windows?] OS...
And I was trying to help with that.
Here's his thread.
Even Google Chrome won't play sound in this particular video.![]()

Lupu-528.004 was a typo.
Sorry about that.
Never experienced any in the past.Uninstall Flash and reboot before installing different version.Sylvander wrote:Emergency Flash update

Risky to rollback to FlashPlayer-11.2.202.228 ?
One possible fix for problem.Sylvander wrote: (a) I have getflash-0.9.9.pet installed and used it to install flashplayer11-11.2.202.235, which is the latest version offered by getflash.

Tried various settings, from disabled to 4000, but couldn't detect any change.bigpup wrote:otropogo,
Video/audio sync problems.
In Gnome Mplayer
Try adjusting any settings that deal with cache higher. Keep in mind that higher settings will cause it to not play until the cache fills up.
Mplayer tab-
Enable cache
play around with cache setting.
Start with a low cache setting like 100 and adjust up. This is fine tuning. (too much cache can cause problems)
Detected no changeplayer tab-
Audio output: I would make ALSA.
With this change I got the control bar but no video at all.Video display would flash on for a fraction of a second, then disappear.Video output: Maybe try XV (this should effect quality)
I tried both vlc-1.1.10 and vlc 1.1.7. Both gave a list of missing dependencies:Other media players to use.
VLC media player would be a good one to try.
I haven't been able to find the log though.unable to open MRL
see log for details
Idea to try.Sylvander wrote:1. @bigpup
Unable to attempt your suggestion by using the Settings Manager, because it won't display because Flash isn't functioning.
The warning says Flash is needed, which implies it isn't installed, and yet it is installed.![]()
Do you have a link, to a video, that does not work with VLC?playdayz wrote:It is necessary to install the Xorg_High-1.1 pet to provide mesa glx video, or, alternatively, to install one of the proprietary ATI or Nivida drivers. If one has an Nvidia card it is probably necessary to install one of the proprietary drivers.
Found this info on what is possible cause for this error and how to fix.:

Hi playdayz, I have been investigating this further and have found a way to install Lucid 528.005 or LupuPlus to my USB stick. It is rather strange, but here is what works:playdayz wrote:Could you try Lupu Plus and see if the same thing happens?I have encountered a problem with a USB boot freeze when installing Lucid 528.005 (or Saluki...) on my Acer netbook.
Maybe someplace in these posts will be answer.kevin bowers wrote: One thing: does anyone have a way to use TV tuner cards in Puppy? I have several machines with them (this one has a USB stick), and while GMPlayer has a "live TV" setting it has no way to control channels. There seem to be modules loaded for this one and a Hauppage PCI card in another computer, but no way I've found to actually use them. Amazingly enough, the little netbook will actually play live HDTV in Windows!
shinobar explained it in reply to your message in a different forum. You gave him the clue that Saluki and Lupu were the only ones that didn't work correctly. Good detective work.I don't know why the Gparted/Universal Installer from 4.3.1 works when relying on the inbuilt Lupu Gparted/Universal installer doesn't work for me, but I am covering my research into this issue on another topic.
Yes, that's why it is installable from Menu -> Internet -> Frisbee...FOR ANYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH WIRELESS CONFIG IN PUPPY I RECOMMEND TRYING FRISBEE!
Not "necessary," but another option I think--check with the grub4dos guru shinobar.No, I didn't try that. Is it necessary to use Grub or Grub4Dos for a usb boot? I thought that was only for HDD install?
Thanks for the heads-up, and for the kick in the butt--I needed it. I did this search a few years back but gave up, everything I found was way over my head. The only thing I managed to gather back then was that I needed a channels.conf file, but could never figure out how to get one.bigpup wrote:Maybe someplace in these posts will be answer.kevin bowers wrote: One thing: does anyone have a way to use TV tuner cards in Puppy?

Seems every website I go to wants to use Flashplayer.The player can be used to play media on websites from your browser when used with Gecko Mediaplayer and is the modern replacement for the mplayerplug-in application.
