Youtube, not all songs-videos can be played, F19_64

[Joerg Lechner]

Ok, these details of Your last two comments I have to study. The thing what I did is, I tried to install Flash Plugin/or Flash for Linux from the Adobe Home Page. First just clicking to the Link "YUM for Linux", which suggests the download of the Flash Player of  "adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm", then I clicked to this file, RPM opened and installed - I thought, this were the Flash Player install. As this didn't work correctly, as previously described, I clicked to "RPM fuer andere Linux Distributionen" , then I got "flash-plugin-11.2.202.297-release.x86_64.rpm" and clicked on this file, RPM installed. Now -so far I have seen- it's possible to watch all Youtube videos with F19-Firefox. That's my story, what I did really by doing as described in the Adobe Homepage, I don't know. But I want to learn something about RPM, Yum and the backgrounds, there Your comments are very helpful. Thanks.
Kind Regards

First I tried the link "Yum for Linux" (I know Yum, Yum Extender from Fedora), 
there is the version number "http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm" 
serviced, which does not work for Firefox/F19 correctly, not all Youtube files 
can be played, my error that I didn't give a detailed test description.

"Slow down a bit, please." That's something I find myself telling people more 
often recently.
There's a lot of unnecessary confusion in this thread.

You can also read the other reply I've typed in a few minutes ago, but the 
package you've
installed, adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm, is just a repository 
definition package,
which gives you access to a repository that contains the one and only 
flash-plugin package.
You're not done with installing the adobe-release-x86_64 package. You need an 
additional
"yum install flash-plugin" to download and install the actual Flash package.

version "http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.202.297/flash-plugin-11.2.202.297-release.x86_64.rpm". 
This Version runs in my F19_64 configuration (Firefox/F19_64)

That's the same one. Even if the checksum may be different, the contents are 
exactly the same:

$ rpmdev-diff flash-plugin-11.2.202.297-release.x86_64.rpm /var/cache/yum/x86_64/19/adobe-linux-x86_64/packages/flash-plugin-11.2.202.297-release.x86_64.rpm

> The differencies I have noticed is that Youtrube files i.e, where there is a 
"sign"or "trade mark" like "vesa" on it, I could not play with x86_64-1.0-1, but 
I can these Videos play with 11.2.202.297-release.x86_64. I didn't install via 
command line, I installed simply clicking on the downloaded file and had rpm 
doing this work.

You're comparing wrong packages there. As explained above. You haven't had Flash 
installed
when you tried the videos for the first time. You've had just the adobe-release 
package.
