That is not happening with the google version of flash.

Go here:

download a 64-bit version, and either unpack the libgcflashplayer.so from it in the known plugin folders (~/.mozilla/plugins/, /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/) or install Chrome and either use it or link /opt/google/chrome/libcgflashplayer.so to the one of the plugin folders to be available to any browser.

Dont forget deleting any previous bersions of flash.

gradinaruvasile,

I've already mentioned that 64bit flash is outdated and doesn't support hardware acceleration.

I tried stable/unstable/beta 64 bit rpms and all of them do NOT contain libgcflashplayer.so so do not waste time downloading and checking. I did not try *.deb because I doubt they would be different than rpms.

Latest 32-bit version is working fine here with acceleration (via nswrapper with no overlay issues).

What card do you have?
And the acceleration shows in this video:

Select 1080p, right-click and select "show video info". You should have "Accelerated video rendering" if the hardware decoding really works.

Right click, Settings, and then Disable Hardware Acceleration.

Let's wait a year or so until Adobe or Nvidia fixes this.

I was running Fedora 64-bit with Firefox 4.0.1, 10.3 final, and has problems with constant black boxes and redraw issues. I switched to 32bit Firefox and got rid of nspluginwrapper, and now it is fine.

Yup it shows Accelerated Video Rendering. Works fine on my GTX-580, GTX-275 and 8200 IGP.

About the overlay problem (video leaking through anything that's black): go to text console (Alt+Ctrl+F2), get back to your Xorg (Alt-F1? Alt-F7?), problem disappears. Currently open Flash videos will turn grey and you'll need to close tabs with them, but then everything is ok. The same workaround also fixed other display problems I've had with nvidia driver on my GTX570.

About using hardware accelerated video: works flawlessly on YouTube, but FREEZES XORG on some own3d.tv videos. Solution is to kill Xorg (remotely or using SysRq combos), unfortunately that's not better than a reboot as I doubt you do stuff outside of the X session. I think I've had a freeze on justin.tv stream last week, but I'm not sure if I didn't try to watch something else at the same time. In any case, I've hashed out mms.cfg entries and the system is alive again.

Oh, and I also have an mp4 file that freezes Xorg when played with mplayer (using vo=gl, vo=xv doesn't have this problem) under 270.xx, but 260.xx are more stable and that's what I'm using.

Not fixed in 275.09.
