Flash freezes when using camera on 64-bit Ubuntu
So I've been doing more Flex / red5 development recently and have been increasingly frustrated by the tendency of Flash 10 to often crash and burn when I try to access my webcam. To my amazement, there's an easy fix - just run firefox with
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so firefox &Hot damn!
