Hello list

There must be a secret to this, but after searching through the email
archives, I have still been unable to figure this out:  how do I get
Iceweasel (or any browser) to play MySpace music streams.  I have
flashplayer_10_linux.deb  installed, with the relevant *.so placed into the
usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/ directory, but still nada.
    

Does Flash work elsewhere, e.g. youtube? Do you use flashblock or noscript?
Does about:plugins show Flash?

Cheers,

Works fine for YouTube ...

NoScript - yes.  But for this experiment I temporarily allowed all on the page.

about:plugins

File name: libflashplayer.so

Shockwave Flash 7.0 r68

MIME Type	Description	Suffixes	Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash	Shockwave Flash	swf	Yes
application/futuresplash	FutureSplash Player	spl	Yes

Retried myspace ... still no dice.  Has myspace changed its engine?  The site keeps insisting that I

"Get Flash now!"

Cheers
