I tried to play video from www.hotstar.com through Mozilla Firefox and Chromium both, but it was just buffering instead of playing:

hotstar

In chromium, I was recommended to install adobe flashplugin but after installing it was still showing that. There were somme errors while installing it:

flashplugin installation

Details:

  • Ubuntu version:14.04 LTS
  • Browse: Chromium and Mozilla Firefox
  • Website of not-loading videos: www.hotstar.com

Okay.. Looking at the screenshot again, and it looks like you have a couple of other Flash related packages installed as well. So I'd suggest that you clean it up a bit by running these commands:

sudo apt-get purge browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash pepperflashplugin-nonfree adobe-flashplugin
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

Then restart your browsers.

  • @tanvirhossain: Which problem? Which error messages did you get when trying to install? Did you forget to enable Canonical Partner?

  • @tanvirhossain: That's a quite separate problem. Maybe you want to ask another question about it.
