I'm unable to play flash videos which are embedded inside RSS Feeds. As an example take any of the popular RSS Feeds which contain flash videos (FLV), Gizmodo or Engadget. The feed renders fine and the flash video is also displayed but is not playable. The video shows up but on clicking the video it does not play. The Liferea I'm running is the Xulrunner based one. Thanks.
tag 445108 unreproducible thanks Sorry for the late reply. I have not been able to reproduce this. Does it still happen in the latest versions? Could you send me a specific item in and specific feed where it shows up?

$ lsb_release -a Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.6 (squeeze) Release: 6.0.6 Codename: squeeze $ uname -a Linux debian 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2~bpo60+1 x86_64 GNU/Linux WHAT? Crash WHEN? On loading news with Flash Player content WHY? Probably something gone wrong with new FlashPlayer, my own was updated from command line, and after that Epiphany and Liferea crash at loading Flash content. I think that is the reason why you can't reproduce that crash, or error. Your versions of Flash is probably different, and doesn't have the same behavior.
From your gdb, it's the flashplayer plugin that's crashing. I'd suggest trying to run a different version of the flash plugin. Is it really *all* flash content that doesn't work for you? Have you tried the flash plugin that's in the debian repos? You installed it from command line? Have you made sure that your flash plugin matches the architecture of your distro? If you're running a 32-bit flash plugin on a 64-bit distro, it's not going to work. Flash content works just fine here using flashplugin-nonfree 1:3.2 from wheezy so I'm thinking it's got to be a problem with that flashplugin you've got. Thanks for your time,

Google chrome is going to ignore any flashplayer lib you installed as it has flash compiled inside of it. You could even remove that flashplayer lib and Chrome's flash will still work :). Iceweasel might be finding a flashplayer plugin in a different directory (ie: user's home folder), especially if you installed it through iceweasel. So the problem in that case, is most likely the flashplugin itself. If you want to upgrade flash, you should try pulling in the flashplugin (version 11) which is in Debian testing. Great.

Hi I can see the last submission to this bug report is from 18 Mar 2013; I just wanted to add some info in case is useful for someone. I had this bug with Liferea too (debian jessie, liferea 1.10.9-1); searching on the web and booting Liferea from a console suggested the problem was related to libcairo2. I tried different versions without luck. Yesterday I had to make some changes in Squid3 config file (installed on a Debian Wheezy server used by all the computers at home) because of some problems navigating through certain sites; mainly, adding "dns_v4_first on" to force the use of ipv4. Surprisingly, after the change, flash videos in liferea started working again. Hope it helps someone. Thank you for your hard work!
Hi the bug is not reproducible under Liferea 1.8.6 on debian wheezy I'm off to test unstable and jesssie. No proxy though.
Welp looks like the bug persists on testing. I'll see if I can gather more information tomorrow.
