I have been using Firefox and linux-f10-flashplugin-11 to watch videos on Amazon (via their Prime service). Recently, they've updated their player which causes it to give the following error: "An error occurred and your player could not be updated". This issue is specific to Amazon's player; I can still view videos on YouTube/TED/etc with no difficulties.
I've found some linux workarounds on a thread here: http://www.amazon.com/forum/amazon ...Forum=Fx3EQAX98ED5WQ3&cdThread=TxFTGOK5LRL3JM
I haven't had the time to read through the entire thing, but the workaround apparently is to install libhal1. I already have hal installed and configured to run on startup. The way in which "libhal1" is referenced makes it seem like it is something different than libhal version 1. I'm not sure exactly what it is. I already have libhal installed:
Anyone have any advice or suggestions?
