Is there a reason why I can't watch the live stream video from this website:
http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/abc-li ... 512H001S00
I'm using PaleMoon because I can't get Opera working. I can watch video on youtube, but not that other website.

hi, welcome to porteus
you need the adobe flash plugin for that site
if you open a terminal and do:
should get you the latest one in /tmp, just move it to the modules folder and activate it.

It seems that there's something else with this link, because neither Opera 48 nor Firefox 57 can't load the video even with the last Pepper/Flash 27.

interesting, because it just worked for me with palemoon and flash 27.0.0.170(not the latest)
edit just tried with firefox57 and it works too
i'll update my flash and see what happens... maybe abc iview is not compatible with the latest flash yet
edit 2: still working for me with firefox57 and flash 27.0.0.185

I suspect that's the case. Blocked in Windows too, even with ActiveX filtering disabled.

I still can't get this working.
It's not the geoblocking as I'm in Australia.
I tried updating flash but the command "update-flash" doesn't work. I get this error message: "bash: update-flash: command not found" There's nothing in the /tmp folder either.
I also have the flash module in my modules folder but nothing happens when I try to activate it.

tdrsam I don't know what version of flash you're using, or what version of Porteus for that matter, but USM has current flashplayers.
Code: Select all

sorry i keep forgetting this isn't in 3.2.2,
what Ed said,
and if usm gives you trouble, here's a direct link:
flashplayer-plugin-27.0.0.187-x86_64-1alien.txz
I also have the flash module in my modules folder but nothing happens when I try to activate it
nothing?
when its working it should show up in the browsers Addons>Plugins section

Nope. I tried to install it from the adobe website. I tried to install it from that link. USM got stuck udpating a checksum.md5. There's nothing in the plugins section.

how?
here's what i'd do:
1. download the pkg (with web browser)
2. rightclick on it in the filemanager> choose "Convert <package>to Module"
3. move that module to /modules
4. doubleclick on it should active it

I've just tested in Windows 10 + Opera last version and it doesn't work. Probably a geolocation issue for me, but maybe a Flash issue for tdrsam.
