I have a few videos I put on Photobucket. They seem to be flv format and when I try to watch them, Firefox just "grays out" and locks up.
I tried looking for codecs but didn't seem to find anything. I don't even know what the problem is really. Any help would be appreciated.

In FF preferences what application is set for Flash Video on the Applications tab?

If you plan on keeping Linux you should find a different site.
I got it to work in the past but it was far from optimal.
The videos took forever to load.
But I haven't been able to get it working since then.

Mark and Jeff, the videos do play if you wait long enough, about 2 mins but wasn't timing, hardly usable though! Tried changing the user agent and allow 3rd party links but still same. Maybe another site that doesn't like linux?

Any suggestions. I don't necessarily care. I only have a few videos on there from when I was using XP. I just happened to try to watch them the other day. I suppose I could just use YouTube. That seems fine.markcynt wrote:If you plan on keeping Linux you should find a different site.

You could try installing vlc and set the preference to ask, then when it does choose vlc. Might work, might not, or as Mark says, find another site.jpete wrote:Gecko-mediaplayer

Re: Can't watch flv videos on Photobucket
Photobucket announced months ago they were dropping support for linux. How exactly this is so, since it just holds our images and videos, all in formats we have no troubel understanding, but i've found it harder and harder to use. I need to boot into a windows machine one day, and pull all of my stuff back, the place is near useless now.
