Description Stefano Badoino 2009-10-06 09:22:22 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] (SUSE Linux) 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I have Flash working properly on Konqueror (with both the khtml and webkit parts), Firefox and Chromium, but not in the Web Browser plasmoid: if I try to load a video from YouTube, I get the "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player" message.

I'm using the 64-bit Adobe Flash Player 10 for Linux.

I've modified the code a bit: now it uses QWebView, plugins are loaded correctly but when I try to play a Flash video I have only sound and no images. Any idea?

I don't know if the two problems are related, but I have the same problem (only audio/no video) with the Mini Player plasmoid (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191696)and the Media Player plasmoid.

This is a Qt problem. now it uses a QGraphicswebview so anything qtwebkit will support this will too
in 4.6/4.7 only windowless plugins work, support for anything is in the works, see
