Thread: Yet another flash player question

just grins, working on getting mythbuntu , running. while awaiting tv card come in mail, trying flash working properly. there issues...

have separate x-screens configured, running desktop display 46" tv set. on first attempt streaming flash video, nothing worked. video jumpy , stuttering on full-screen view. after purging system of flash-non-free, ndiswrapper, etc. , installing flash 10.0.22.87 64 bit alpha see progress. instance, tv.com , cbs.com work fine in full screen mode (didn't before). other sites, particularly hulu still jumpy/stuttering in full screen. i'm not sure if fault of hulu, flash player, or kernel itself. have been googling extensively past few days, nothing else seems @ all.

running mythbuntu 64 bit on kernel 2.6.28. graphics card nvidia geforce 8800 gts. xorg.conf file (if matters) follows:

i running mythbuntu 64 bit on kernel 2.6.28.

run 32-bit, if not on 4gigs of ram, no reason use 64-bit. have more problems. flash 64-bit alpha software, haven't officially made public testing or beta. best results going through 32-bit distribution. @ least media player.
, using adobe flash plugin.

note 64-bit great server, tried , true. don't see viable desktop machine yet. again, better @ sql 32 bit imo, though having more 4gigs of ram helps on server side of things.

dual-boot 32/64 o/s if want have full 64, still have stable machine when want task done, watch video.
