Cannot watch movies on Amazon instant video within linux lite
#2
For Amazon videos you need to install the package "hal".  Open a terminal and enter the following to install it:

Code:
sudo apt-get install hal

Then remove the hidden ".adobe" folder under your home.  You can do that with the file manager, or through terminal.  For using file manager, just open your home folder then click View -> Show Hidden Files.  You will then see all files that start with a "." (period).  Look for ".adobe" and delete it to get rid of its current settings.  (It will automatically regenerate the next time you view a flash video.)
To use the terminal, just enter the following (substitute your correct username):

Code:
rm -R /home/username/.adobe

Can't remember, but pretty sure after doing the above you'll need to reboot computer before trying again to view Amazon videos.  So go ahead and reboot, then try Amazon.  Should work now.
