Turn off swfdec

Asked by Patrick M

When I load pages with Flash video the system tries to use swfdec. I want to use adobe flashplug-in. Adobe is installed How do I make the system stop trying to use swfdec to open certain flash video and pages? I don't see anything about this on the medibuntu or help pages anywhere.

Just run ( type or copy and paste ) this to remove conflicting plugins:

sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla
sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash
sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Swfdec would be great if it worked all the time.

Thanks.
