I had the same problem with Firefox 1.5.x under Dapper. When playing from the hard drive they play all the way through but with intermittent sound (see above). This happens with both mplayer and xine based plugins and players. What steps could I be doing to troubleshoot this and does anyone know of a workaround that might address this issue? Many thanks in advance for any help people may be able to offer. Neil Blenkiron Melbourne, Australia </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Looks like a Flash problem. Strangely enough Adobe seems to update their Flash9 beta without giving notice. I had the same problem, but after re-installing flashplayer it disappeared. You can download the latest and greatest player here : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/">http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/</a> then copy the *.so file into your various plugins directories.

I couldn't even play the advert before the short film at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.atomfilms.com/film/punk_group_fat.jsp?mid=232889693">http://www.atomfilms.com/film/punk_group_fat.jsp?mid=232889693</a> without the video freezing. I Notice that flash animations on adverts in the sidebar keep working. Could the problem be in a config file for mplayer or a setting in Firefox itself?
