Firefox 3 Shockwave Flash Issue

[bluestreak]

I am having issues watching content via the Flash player using Firefox 3.0.1 and Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124.

The video stops every couple seconds as well as the audio. Is this a known issue with Shockwave Flash?

I believe I have the most up to date version of the Flash Player. Are we waiting for Adobe to support Firefox 3?

Should I go back to Firefox 2 in order to solve this problem?

Try hitting the pause button and let it sit for a couple of minutes before hitting the play button again. It might just be a buffering issue.

sounds like your connection isn't fast enough to stay ahead of video playback and it is having to buffer every few seconds, my connection does this with hulu a lot... though for Rev3 you can pause and let it buffer some before trying to play back.

It's interesting that I only notice it with Diggnation or the Totally Rad Show.

Also the lowest speed I get for my download connection is about 4 Mbps

This two are generally the biggest and longest shows. Have you tried hitting the pause button for a bit to see if it is the buffering causing the problem?

Pausing the show has helped with the buffering issue.

Although it's a little confusing that even when I leave the player to buffer for a long time Firefox will still show that I am downloading some data from bitcast. Although I know this is not true since I can see no network traffic in the bottom right hand corner.

I also unplugged my ethernet and still get the same message that I am downloading from bitcast.
