</div></div>Hi Steve,<br>
<br>
I don't know what wizardry you're using to get iview to work, but since<br>
it "just works" then maybe some higher force is acting on your behalf<br>
because it simply shouldn't with your setup according to the iview<br>
forums and others are full of people complaining about it!<br>
<br>
Flash 11.2 in firefox/konqueror/opera/etc is fine for ALL other sites<br>
except iview and sbs. For a while now, iview will not work on less than<br>
flash 11.7, reportedly, which was a deliberate decision by iview to<br>
limit it this way. Why? Can't find out why. But, to answer your<br>
question: why am I using pepper flash and chrome? Because flash<br>
development for linux stopped at 11.2 and will not continue. Google<br>
developed/brought in pepper flash that works only with chrome and it is<br>
the only flash for linux continuing under active development (btw: in<br>
case it's lost in the noise, sbs ondemand is similarly affected, but I<br>
can currently get that to work since it seems to be more forgiving?)<br>
<br>
FYI: the problem presents itself as the programs taking forever to load<br>
before reporting it's not available. That's solely due to your flash<br>
version according to everyone.<br>
