Flash Player 10.1 Released!

[Chiefcrowe]

FYI it just came out today and you can get it from the adobe site.

In case anyone was wondering about the list of supported Nvidia chipsets, here it is:

Glad to see my assortment of 8-series GeForce cards are supported, even the relatively lowly 8400GS!

 

[Chiefcrowe]

Thanks that is useful! I was glad to see mine on the list!

Thanks for the heads up. I was waiting for it to come out of beta. I got to say, loading 720p and 1080p vids seems much snappier.

Runs much better than the RCs and betas

Crazy how good flash is now lol.

Wow, this one actually works on my system. For some reason, all of the ActiveX versions, beta and RC, failed to install properly on my system using the standalone installers. Something about the OEM config of this laptop.

The early installers would crash and fail, later installers wouldn't fail, but flash didn't work right and would hang.

Now this one works just fine, I can play 480P full-screen Hulu on my laptop's 1366x768 screen, with only a 1.6Ghz TF-20 single-core AMD chip, and a 780G mobile chipset.

Does anyone know if AMD eased their restrictions? The HD2000 and HD3000-series chipsets support UVD in hardware, like the 780G does, but last I knew, AMD was artificially restricting accelerated full-screen flash video to their HD4000- and HD5000-series chipsets.

This also will fix your system for the auth.dll exploit in flash. There is still no fix for adobe reader and that exploit though.

 

[Emulex]

so removing authplay.dll on acrobat and reader doesn't suppress the issue?

dang i wasted time nuking that dll on a bunch of boxens

now if they'd only fix the stupid won't stay full screen on one screen issue when you use the other.

yeah anyone know how?

Anyone having a weird volume problem? (Flash 10.1/Firefox + Foobar + Windows 7)
I installed 10.1 on my laptop (and HD3200 doesn't seem to be doing anything with Youtube videos, but that's another issue).

Whenever I have a flash (video) open and playing it messes up my Foobar volume, making it go really quiet. I know it's the Foobar volume specifically because the slider moves down on the Windows volume mixer, and i know it's Flash because it only happens when I open a Flash video and goes away when I close the video. (And it only started yesterday, after I upgraded Flash)

Happens on all Flash videos, BBC, Youtube, etc. Anyone else having the same problem?
I was running a beta (not sure which one, maybe somewhere around 3) before, but it's only starting doing this now I upgraded to the proper release.

Anyone having hard freezes, when you have two seperate flash players going? I listen to streaming radio in the background, and then sometimes open a flash video. Seems like the crash/hard-freeze bug that was in the betas is still with us. Either that, or there's a bug in the ATI drivers. I'm still on 9.12.

Edit: Even better. I fill out the forms on ATI's web site, to get a list of drivers to download, and then it goes to a page saying web site maintenance.

Is there any way to download this from Adobe without installing their DLM!?

 

[hennessy1]

You can always just uninstall the DLM.

Found it! They removed the link from their download page, I had to dig through the support center to find it.

 

[bruceb]

Installed it yesterday and yes, normally you do need the download manager.
This should not be the case. But here is a workaround.

Download the Flash player installer 10.1 using IE browser.
Save to drive, then run the Flash Uninstaller, now run the new 10.1 installer.
Check it in IE and Opera http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You will see version 10.1 is installed. Now run the check in Firefox.
It will not run and prompt you to install a plug in. Do it and now it say
Flash 10.1 is installed. No download manger.

Yes that will fix it for reader, but it breaks some of the functionality. June 29th is the day adobe says they will have a fix for it.

Or just use the link I found above and not have to jump through any hoops.

Works well with the primary 5870 in my system. Stays between 10 to 15% GPU utilization.

 

[bruceb]

Yes, I did download it from the Get Flash page. But if you try to do it from within Firefox, Abobe wants to use their download manager. I grabbed it from IE8 ... it installed just fine in IE8 and Opera ... Firefox needed that 1 extra step, but I did not need to bother with thier
download manager.

 

[AdamK47]

I downloaded it through their download manager and promptly uninstalled the download manager after it had installed Flash 10.1.

 

[bruceb]

Yes I did it that way on my work laptop. I emailed myself the 10.1 installer and did it the other way on my home computer. I hate apps (and companies) that insist on using their downloader to get a simple item.

Can anyone else reach the univision streams here: http://futbol.univision.com/fifacopamundial/partidos-en-vivo/ ? I can't anymore

[bruceb]

Good links. Adobe should learn to do it this way as well.
