Hi,

Next time please send your email to <debian-user@lists.debian.org>

To watch <http://www.bbc.com/news/10462520>, first install
youtube-dl: $ apt-get install youtube-dl
Or just install flashplugin-nonfree with Iceweasel,
That has not worked in >4 months here. On wheezy, I have installed every
new flashplugin-installer thats been released, and thats a bunch of
them, ditto for my ancient lappy with lubuntu 14.04  on it but there is
nothing for it to download.  So quit advertising that it works and just
let flash die the horrible security hole ridden death it deserves.

or watch with
Google Chrome.
Can you stop it from calling home?  Tcpdump and wireshark are quite
educational tools.

I'm sure plenty of other things work, but I know those
do.  I watch that news-site all the time, several times a day most
days, and browse over the whole site; sometimes just to see if there
has been a new newsflash on an important story.  Think of the
disk-space needed if I were to download everything every time!
So do I use chrome, pure and simply because I don't have to click thru 2
or 3 of iceweasels paranoid, are you sure requesters, which it promises
to remember you OK'd it, but it hasn't remembered yet.

The package browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash works very well for me on iceweasel.
