I am running Kubuntu 9.04 on my laptop, using Firefox as my web browser. When I go to a website such as www.hulu.com and try to watch a video, it will play for a brief moment, freeze, and then attempt to buffer with no success. I'm wondering if there's something I can do to change this so I can watch videos?

Re: Movies are freezing
Here is a fix from this link http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showth...1169411&page=2
oad the flash plugin before firefox or swiftfox. It's a NVidia driver issue. (edit: not only... ATI users seem to benefit from this too).
Easiest fix: modify the startup script of your browser, e.g. in case of Minefield (firefox-3.6):
sudo nano /usr/lib/firefox-3.6a1pre/firefox.sh
Find your browser script in the same area, somewhere in /usr/lib/yourbrowser; (edit: other possible locations are like /usr/local/lib/firefox-3.5/firefox or for install with ubuntuzilla it is /opt/firefox/firefox; using a run-mozilla.sh file if that is available also seems to work);
then add as 2nd (NOT 1st) line:
Code:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
I'm not sure if this will keep working after an update of the browser (then do it again).
