Fix Flash 10.x Issues

Boxee has a fixed flash version included in every build for its custom browser. For both platform and box it has at the moment flash version 10. More and more websites are now actually dropping support for 10 and only allow to play content for 10.1/10.2/11+. For the boxee box owners there is nothing to do other then wait for a firmware with a fix. But I was notified by Paul M. that there is a solution for at least boxee linux, follow the procedure below:

1. Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
2. Select the appropriate OS and version from the lists
3. Download the plugin for linux (I have a Download folder that i place all my files in)
4.

tar xvzf install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz

or use Archive Manager to extract the archive
5.

cd /opt/boxee/system/players/flashplayer/xulrunner/bin/plugins/

6.

sudo cp libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so_old

7.

sudo cp /home//Downloads/install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64/libflashplayer.so /opt/boxee/system/players/flashplayer/xulrunner/bin/plugins/

8. Enjoy!

( I expect a similar procedure to work on mac and linux)

    Thanks for this!

    How about a similar fix for Boxee running on Win 7 (64bit)?
