Question

Flashplayer 10.1.102.64 not working on Solaris SPARC system

I am using the flashplayer plugin with recent versions of Firefox version 3.6.x on a Sun SPARC system running Solaris 10.

The latest version of flashplayer, just like all other versions of the 10.1 series, fails to properly handle the audio stream.  You can check it out with the video clip at "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix-S7Sp04KQ&feature=sub", where the audio seems to run at the speed of light compared to the video.  I have tried many recent versions of flashplayer, and I constantly have to revert back to version 10.0.450.2 which is the last version that seems to do something of a passable job, although it also has problems.

There has never yet been a version of flashplayer that has worked sucessfully on this system.  Although I have a high-speed cable modem connection to the internet, I am unable to stream any HD video content from any source without it constantly stopping to buffer every few seconds.  There are many video clips where the sound does not remail in sync with the video and finishes long before the video is over.  Often the tail end of the clip is truncated.  I don't know what video format they are using at vimeo.com, but nothing from this site plays.

Do other people on SPARC/Solaris systems see these same problems?  Are the people porting flashplayer to Solaris aware of these issues?

Regards,

    Hi, the only suggestion I can give you is to turn off the hardware acceleration. Go to this test site and Right click on the Flash logo, click on Settings, then UNcheck the h.a. in Display Settings.

    I hope this helps you.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll try turning this off and see what happens after I switch back to the latest verison of the plugin.
