First of all, thanks a lot for sharing an awesome media server with us.
But it’s been almost over a year, and it seems nothing has happened with development regarding flash support.
I can’t watch several flash websites using 10.0

Any plans for making plex work with the upcoming flash 10.2? Or are you still making us stay with 10.0? I surely hope not…

Yep, that solved my problems as well!
I really had problems viewing streaming video using SVT Play, TV4 Play, etc, and I was about to almost give up when I saw this post. Reverting to Flash 10.0.45.2 solved all there is to it. Pls try to fix this in upcoming releases of Plex (or get rid of Flash dependency). It is really hard to track down the issue and find a solution!

Thanks a lot!

Thank You! This solved my problem with not getting video with a number of the plugins on my MacBook Pro running 10.6.2.

To go back to the earlier version, you have to use the Flash Uninstaller to get rid of the beta:

Then you can install the older “release” version that works great.

@Alex: When the final Flash 10.1 is released (it’s currently just a beta) then we’ll likely look into it. Until then, you’ll have to choose between running a beta release of a product, or using Plex with WebKit content.

Really? Adobe released another program riddled with possible bugs? Are your sources on this accurate Elan. I just really find it hard to believe Adobe would be so inept at coding, especially when it comes to decade old software…

I was just gonna ask about hw decoding … really glad Adobe is focusing on optimizing horribly unoptimized Flash for mac , NOT.

A post on TUAW says that it still has improvements for playing back flash video in hardware mode.

For some things, just downloading the video file too fast can slow things down in flash. Like full speed on at 10 meg connection. But the same video might play fine at 1/4 of that speed.

At least this is what I experience.

Looks like hardware H.264 decoding is only for Windows.
