Ubuntu 12.04 Videos Stopped Streaming

Asked by Solidarity

I installed a patch to solve the blue videos problem as advised in this link:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue under the title: The workarounds > Install patched libvdpau (proper patch)

The problem was solved and Youtube videos displayed normally but suddenly Firefox closes as soon as it is opened I installed Chromium and it doesn't detect any Flash items whether its buttons or videos.

Then I uninstalled Adobe flash and installed the latest version of Lightspark and the Youtube videos still don't work.

Can someone please guide me through the troubleshooting process?

sudo apt-get --purge remove browser-plugin-lightspark lightspark lightspark-common
sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer

Enable the partner repo in software centre and install abobe-flashplugin

Should be ok
