Hi List, I have been getting the above errors for the last few months and extensive google foo has been less than conclusive - but indicates that the requesting flash player is somehow putting the wrong url content into the request.
After I recently did a yum update on my wife's laptop she too started getting these errors. She has an old sony laptop running 5.8 and other than this error on various streaming tv links it is working just fine. Needless to say, she is less than thrilled with my IT skills at this point as she can no longer watch her favourite TV programs.
So I decided to try and track down the problem on my own machine (CentOS 6.2) where yumex allows you to see and load older versions of a package. I started with a downgrade (and then a 2nd one .... and then the 5th one) of libflashplayer.so - fortunately rpmforge has older versions. Going right back to a 10.x version did not fix the problem. Thus I guess it is a firefox / xulrunner problem, however I am not happy to go back too many versions here as the exploit potential is much higher.
Then I tried konqueror with flash enabled and guess what - no problems with any of the links that fail under firefox / libflashplayer.
So my question to the list members - does anyone else have this problem with flash under firefox?? What do I do to fix it? TIA Rob
Rob, what are you doing to get the error message? I.e., what command or application are you invoking and where does the "200 Stream...." error appear?
I've been having problems with flashplayer also-- for a long time and over many upgrades. When, using firefox, I visit a site which invokes flashplayer, the cpu load begins to increase.... it can go from 0.4 to 6.8. If I then close the tab to that site, the cpu load goes back down to where it was. I've talked with friends who use Mac OS X and Windows and they both experience similar problems with flashplayer, so I always assumed it was something in flash.

It appears in the middle of the flash player screen (black at this point as it is trying to load the stream)

Yes, flash player appears to have some nasty bits - maybe this is another reason why Apple / Steve Jobs was so anti flash on the iPhone. I am now using Konqueror with flowplayer - this is a java / flash incarnation that seems to work fine.

Hmmm. I never got that. Perhaps I killed flash before it ever got to that. Or perhaps it's part of the code tangle that the error message never came up.

Rob, thanks for the tips. I'll give those a try.
