[Swansea Hackspace] Ubuntu and now tv or amazon

[Brian J Hoskins]

Well, the only trouble I've ever had playing online video is the fact 
that Adobe discontinued Flash for Linux quite some time ago. You can 
still install an old version of Flash for Firefox but in my experience 
it has very poor performance.

This problem completely goes away if you use the Linux version of the 
official Chrome browser, which has a much more modern Flash compatible 
decoder built into it.  I am playing Netflix videos using it with no 
problems, so should be fine your end too :)

Cheers,

Brian.
