Yes, Flash is installed 'I believe' if I go to this website --> http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ I get a report 'you have version 11.2.202.425 installed. I attached a screenshot just to kinda try to show you the output as far as that goes. I attached another screenshot of Synaptic's take on this situation as well. Thank you for your help. 😈 - Happy Holiday's Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2014 13:29:38 -0600 From: chapinjeff at gmail.com To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [tclug-list] html5 on 3.13.etc kernel The likelihood of this being related to ISP behavior is slim to none. Have you installed flash? If you don't want to use the html5 player, I believe you have to have flash installed and working correctly.

I even tried to play a couple songs on my laptop which is 32 bit Mint17 Maya last evening and I had to specifically 'enable html5 player' or I get the 'An error occured please try again later' message. I attached a screenshot of the error message. So basically now for me I have to specifically enable the 'HTML5' player via this link n songs play fine - in the browser then. --> https://www.youtube.com/html5 Well it's probably not kernel related then your knowledge is respected. Could my ISP be doing something? I am just really wondering here.

Firefox 34 works as expected on Fedora. Jeff On Wed, Dec 31, 2014 at 11:10 AM, paul g <pj.world at hotmail.com> wrote: Verified to be Firefox 34.0 from my end here. Now it's actually the same with the 3.2 kernel as the 3.13 kernel. I tick this link then all works fine. https://www.youtube.com/html5 'The HTML5 player is currently used when possible.' Not Iceweasel at all don't even have it installed. Hey, by now you should know the deal either way <-- What are your thoughts? Happy Holiday's to you sir.

You can request that the HTML5 player be used if your browser doesn't use it by default. If you encounter any problems, right-click on the player and choose "report playback issue", or let us know on the user support forums. Your feedback will help us continue to improve the player." Of the 6 technologies listed, how many of them (and which ones) are supported by your browser? Which version of Firefox are you using? Is it actually Firefox and not something like IceWeasel? I doubt that this is a kernel-level issue.

Can anyone recommend a solution beyond this link --> https://www.youtube.com/html5 every time Firefox is loaded persay/systemwide This affects Debian based systems and yes as we well know Mainly LinuxMint.
