I think that's enabled here:

deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-backports main restricted 
universe multiverse

$ apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree 
downloads it and installs it ok.

**BUT**, flash was already installed and working (eg. in Swiftfox).

mplayer and others still say the same thing:

[flv @ 0x874c3c8]Unsupported video codec (4)

and later

[mpeg4 @ 0x87dc78c]hmm, seems the headers are not complete, trying to guess 
time_increment_bits
[mpeg4 @ 0x87dc78c]my guess is 1 bits ;)

Any more ideas? Much appreciated!
