That page works just fine for me on 64-bit konqueror-4.4.4 with adobe-
flash-10.1.53.64 but I don't see any flash on it

I have nsplugins installed and manually performed the nspluginwrapper config
actions to enable the 32-bit flash plugin

The picture next to the introductory paragraph is a flash video.

Do I need to do that? Won't Konq work with 64bit flash?

I have reinstalled kde-base/nsplugins but Konqueror will still not play.

I have kde-base/nsplugins installed and my results are exactly the
same as Mick's

Flash sometimes works with konqueror, sometimes not. Youtube videos play,
and then just stop after a while.

Sometmies I see an empty space, sometimes I see that black youtube
background with the white circles starting to circle around, then it
freezes. On one try I saw the first frames of the video, then it stopped.

Current flash is 32bit only, Adobe did not release a 64bit version. I hope
it will come, but I doubt it.
The former flash version was working fine in all browsers, but it has HUGE
security problems, so better don't use it.

I had to add /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins , then the Scan button found the
plugins.

There is NO 64 bit flash in the latest packages, confirmed in the ebuild.

You need nspluginwrapper installed and configured. It will find all your 32-
bit plugins and do the necessary to make Konqueror aware of them. This doesn't
happen automatically, every time you update a plugin the config is broken and
has to be redone.

I must be lucky then, it's 100% reliable for me :-)
