embedded video playback in blogger
Something is not quite right with my Linux system. I am running the current release of Ubuntu (Horrible Harry or whatever it's called, AKA Version 8.04), just updated this morning. I can play videos on the YouTube website (youtube.com) using Firefox, but when I embed a clip in my blog, it does not play well. I get the big triangle to start with. Click on that and I get an image and the control/status bar just below it. Click play (either small triangle) and ... things go South. Something seems to get jammed up. Response to the keyboard and mouse gets very slow. Occasionally the image will change, but it is not like it is playing. It just jumps from one scene to another.
Everything works fine on my Windows box.
My blog: www.pergelator.
P.S. I don't have any sound yet, but I suspect that may be a completely different problem.
P.P.S. I ran a search on "embedded video playback", before I tried to post this question and got zero results. Then as a first step to posting this question I enter the same string as a title. Click on "continue" and I get a list of possibly relevant questions. What does that say about the search function? Not too good, eh?
