Ground Control

Can't play most tutorial videos

Asked by Emanuel Angelo on 2011-02-04

I can play the introduction video, but all the rest show only the video window with the controls and a buffering animation (8 dots going around in a circle), never starting the video itself. I've tried Firefox with all extras deactivated, Chromium and Midori as well. None worked. I'm using 64-bit Flash plugin from ppa:sevenmachines/flash (wonder if that's the problem).

Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your computer, those videos are differing from a technical difficulty. They should be up sometime next week.

OK videos should be fixed now.
