Install Flash 10.3 in Ubuntu to eliminate all bugs


Flash version 10.2 had a lot of mistakes which were patched. Apparently, not even that way Adobe could rest easy with your product, so the guys decided to do a version, 10.3.

This includes a version of Flash new system called NPAPI ClearSiteData

This application allows you to manage more effectively the Flash cookies, or LSO (local shared Obejtos) that some sites use to track

Solve your problems with Flash and Firefox on Ubuntu

The relationship between Flash and Linux (and other OS) is truly complex. In recent days discussing inclusion in Ubuntu by default. To this we must add the problems that most users find us everyday with Flash (search in Google Firefox+Flash+Error, you'll find about 40 million entries).

How to install Flash on Ubuntu 10.10

Something vital to the life of almost any Internet user is the use flash player in ubuntu ,Serves for youtube videos in ubuntu, Play some games on facebook, etc..

Install it becomes every day easier (although it would be easier still if it came installed). Here I leave the steps to install flash in Ubuntu 10.10

Play YouTube Videos Without Flash [From /tmp, Works With Adobe Flash 10.2]

A while back we wrote how to play YouTube videos without Flash with just one click. The second method (my favourite) used to work with any browser but the latest Flash 10.2 breaks it because the cached files are deleted from /tmp (but are still there). With the help of Reddit, I got it working again and with a minor tweak it works with any browser (I've only tested it with Firefox and Chromium).

What is this about really? Using this method to play YouTube videos, you still need Flash installed but all you have to do is start a video in the browser so it's downloaded in the cache but then you can click "pause" (but don't close the tab!), then click a button on your panel (or you can assign a keyboard shortcut or whatever) which will launch that video in VLC or Mplayer.


Here's a video I've recorded showing how this works (I'm using Flash 10.2 in the video):




Setting everything up


The below solution will work with both Adobe Flash 10.2 and older Adobe Flash!

1. Create a file in /usr/local/bin, let's call that file "yt":
sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/yt

2. In the file created at step 1, paste this:

#!/bin/bash

FLASH_TMP=`ls /tmp | grep Flash*`

if [[ $FLASH_TMP ]]; then
vlc /tmp/Flash*
else
if [[ `ps x | awk '/libgcflashplayer.so\ /{print $1}'` ]]; then
flashvids() { lsof -p `ps x | awk '/libgcflashplayer.so\ /{print $1}'` -n 2>/dev/null | perl -lne '@F = split(/ +/, $_, 9); print "/proc/$F[1]/fd/${\($F[3] =~ /(^\d+)/)[0]}" if $F[4] eq "REG" && $F[8] =~ /\(deleted\)$/'; }
else
flashvids() { lsof -p `ps x | awk '/libflashplayer.so\ /{print $1}'` -n 2>/dev/null | perl -lne '@F = split(/ +/, $_, 9); print "/proc/$F[1]/fd/${\($F[3] =~ /(^\d+)/)[0]}" if $F[4] eq "REG" && $F[8] =~ /\(deleted\)$/'; }
fi

vlc $(flashvids)
fi

If you want to use Mplayer instead of VLC, replace "vlc" on line 6 and 14 in the code above, with "mplayer". The above code is not the same as in the video I've posted above because I've added support for the old Adobe Flash Player (older then 10.2) too so the script should now work with any Flash version.


Then save the file.

3. Make the file executable:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/yt

4. Now let's create a launcher for it: right click a Gnome panel, select "Add to panel", add a custom launcher and under "Command", enter this:
/usr/local/bin/yt


That's it! Now when you open a youtube video page in your browser, click pause (don't close the video page!), then click the newly created launcher to play it in VLC or Mplayer.


If you're using Adobe Flash older then 10.2, see the initial post: 2 Ways Of Playing YouTube Videos Without Flash With Just One Click

Minitube 1.4 (Plays YouTube Videos Without Flash) Released, Available In The WebUpd8 PPA

Minitube

Minitube is a native YouTube client for Linux (as well as Windows and Mac OS X) which you can use to watch videos without Flash Player. Further more, Minitube can also be used to download videos from YouTube.

Minitube 1.4 was released today, the new release finally bringing YouTube channels support:

Being able to watch YouTube channel in Minitube brings a whole new depth to the application. Discovering channels is easy thanks to the autocomplete popup, which suggests the most relevant channels for a given keyword.

The new version also fixes a lot of playback problems (Minitube now tries to find a fast stream and discard slow ones) and also comes with a small Linux command line feature: you can now launch an YouTube video from the command line using Minitube (you can specify a keyword or an URL).


Install Minitube 1.4 in Ubuntu form the WebUpd8 PPA


As usual, the latest Minitube 1.4 is available in the WebUpd8 PPA. Please note that I've only tested it in Maverick!

Add the PPA and install Minitube 1.4 in Ubuntu using the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install minitube

Get Video Acceleration For Adobe Flash Flayer (With Stage Video) In Ubuntu [VDPAU Only]

The latest Adobe Flash Player 10.2 beta (not Flash Player Square!) uses Stage Video, a new API that enables hardware accelerated video playback across platforms (currently only works with VDPAU - so for Nvidia with proprietary graphics drivers only):

Developers will be able to take advantage of this new model to deliver improved playback quality while reducing processor usage by up to 85 percent. This enhanced performance will build on the benefits of H.264 hardware accelerated decoding introduced in Flash Player 10.1.


Using it, the processor usage for 1080p YouTube videos dropped from ~90% to around 20-30% on my computer. It's not as good as say Mplayer with VDPAU, but it's definitely an improvement.

I've recorded a video in which you can see the CPU usage with and without Stage Video:



In my test, the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.2 beta with VDPAU hardware acceleration works well in Firefox but crashes a lot in Chromium (but that might be due to the Chromium version I'm using - 10 unstable from the Chromium daily builds PPA).


Use Adobe Flash with VDPAU Hardware Acceleration

Note: Adobe Flash Player 10.2 beta is not stable so you may experience crashes or it may not work at all for you. Use it at your own risk!

Video Acceleration (using Stage Video) for Adobe Flash Player 10.2 beta only works with VDPAU so you'll need an Nvidia graphics card; you'll also have to install the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver.


To use it on Ubuntu 32bit, all you have to do is download and install the latest Adobe Flash Player 10 beta 2 (download from here; to install Adobe Flash, extract the downloaded archive and copy the .so file to /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ if that folder exists or /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ - it depends on how you've installed Adobe Flash) and install libvdpau1:
sudo apt-get install libvdpau1

Ubuntu 64bit: there is no 64bit Adobe Flash Player 10.2 beta so to get hardware acceleration on 64bit you must install the 32bit Flash as well as the 32bit libvdpau. For instructions on how to do this, see THIS post @ Ubuntuforums.


YouTube has beta support for Stage Video and it currently only works for some videos (here's an example). To check if you've correctly installed Flash 10 beta 2 and VDPAU, click the Big Buck Bunny image from the Adobe Labs Stage Video page.


Thanks to WebUpd8 reader Amano for the tip!

Chrome (Dev Channel) Allows You To Load Flash On-Demand

Click to play chrome

Here's a very useful feature that has been recently added to the Chrome/ium dev channel builds: an option you can use to set the plugins to "Click to play" (which is basically like a built-in Flashblock for Chrome). Using this option, Flash (and other plugins) content will never load until you click it.

This feature is very useful if you're using an old computer or a netbook/laptop running on batteries (since Flash uses a lot of the battery).


Click 2 play Chrome

To enable "Click to play" you'll need the latest Google Chrome / Chromium dev channel; then go to Preferences > Under The Hood > Content Settings > Plugins and select "Click to play". Below this option, there's an "Exeptions" button you can use to whitelist/blacklist websites.
