Firefox does not play Rutube videos

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

Does the video below play on your Firefox?

http://rutube.ru/video/2729da0c087eb93af0ac476990a441d4/

Mine cannot play that. Is there something one can do in order to fix
the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

If it is a browser related issue you can do this :
-update your browser (if you have an old version you may not have the
proper html5 support)
-update flash (if the website doesn't support html5 video it will display
them with flash)
-update java
It should fix it

Mine doesn't as I don't have flash player/plugin installed.

You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
Click here to download the latest version from the Adobe website

Do you have Flash installed? If not, take a look at

But not here: Firefox 42 xfce4, everything up-to-date, including adobe flash. Interestingly, the Adobe website asserts that the current (and last) version of the flash player is Version 11.2.202.554, but the rpm that the website delivers is adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1, built in 2011.

Same here, Geoffrey.

adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1 contains their repository's yum/dnf 
/etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo for x86_64. To get flash going you need to 
install the flash-plugin from their repository via yum.

And indeed, they ship 11.2.202.554:
# rpm -q adobe-release-x86_64 flash-plugin
adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch
flash-plugin-11.2.202.554-release.x86_64

Remove all flash rpms from your distribution. Donwload the plugin
directly from Adobe. All you need to do is to copy libflashplayer.so
into ~/.mozilla/plugins.

And do that again, every time Adobe updates it.  No thanks.  Using the
RPMs from Adobe's repo is the easiest way to go.  That way yum update
(or dnf update) will take care of it for me.
