New flashplugin 10.2 video overlay issue (Nvidia ralated ???).

[firew4lker]

It seems to be ok, with 270.30. I need more time to test though.

On my machine (Debian Squeeze 32-bit/nvidia 8200) the vanilla Adobe plugin crashes with the 270.26 and 270.30 drivers. It seems that the 11 d0 alpha plugin is more stable though.

No, with 270.30 and flash 10.2.152.27 on ArchLinux the problem is still there.

Same behavior with or without hardware acceleration.

Does anyone face the same problem?

GPU: Nvidia 8400 GS proprietary drivers.

It seems that it happens with Nvidia cards only.

Hi

I joined because I struggled with this and my solution was as follow.
First I might say that I am on OpenSuse 11.4 64bit and might not work with 32bit installs.
Further more I'm using the 270.30 beta but it worked with latest stable as well.

1. I uninstalled all my flash player related packages (eg. only one ;-)

2. Downloaded the 64bit beta Flash Player "Square"

3. Unpacked and moved the "libflashplayer.so" to "cd /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/"

4. Done

Kind Regards LaGa

the 64 bit version does NOT support libvdpau. that's why you don't have the problem

Nice but wrong theory. They work perfectly fine on XBMC which utilizes openGL and vdpau.

Ohh, my bad...

Still broken beyond repair:

Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1-release (released a few hours ago)
NVIDIA drivers 270.30

$ cat /etc/adobe/mms.cfg

EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1
OverrideGPUValidation=true

And flash player crashes whenever I change video window resolution or return from the full screen mode.

Hi all,

On my Dell D830 with Opensuse 11.3 (32b) and NVidia Quadro NVS 140M, drivers 260.19.44 and flashplayer 10.2.153.1 I had the same horrible behaviour.

I installed the 270.26 drivers (I did not find 270.30 for my card) together with the flashplayer_inc_debug_lin_022711.tar.gz and the symptoms are gone!
I needed this to work in order to view Oracle Enterprise Mgr Grid Control real-time performance grafics.

Thanks,
Guy.

"flashplayer_inc_debug_lin_022711.tar.gz" = Flash 11 developer version that works quite well (still has bugs but way better than the 10.2.152/153).

The nvidia driver version has probably nothing to do with this, i have a Quadro NVS 135M and the .152 version is horrible on it with both 270.26 and 270.30 - and works quite well with the Googles .154 version on any driver.

Another and perhaps more stable option is to use the Google Chromes included player, version 10.2.154 (libgcflashplayer.so).

... which has hardware acceleration disabled and still crashes all the time.

Meanwhile you can use the previous stable bug free Adobe Flash Player, version 10.1.102.65.

..which has hardware acceleration disabled and works perfectly well on Opera, Firefox, Seamonkey, Chrome, Chromium. At least on Debian (on both my computers)...
