It didn't ask me to install flash player. You know what yo do?

Perhaps newer versions of wine broke something. It is still working with me in Crossover Office 6.2 (which is what I tried it with initially).

I have to ctrl-backspace to kill X - seems like the move media player was updated and is no longer compatible with wine When I try it now, the entire screen goes black and I get funky colors.

So, I can't test it. I will post again when I get back in august. In the meantime, you may want to try different versions of firefox for windows or perhaps a different version of the flash plugin.

The audio comes in just fine, but the video doesn't quite work. I’ve followed your instructions but when I launch the player, my screen gets all messed up and I have to restart my computer.

Initially my wine had no fonts installed, so I had to download the arial font for windows first. Otherwise, thanks a lot for writing this.
