After much screwing around with it, things are working now. Based on my experience, here are the steps that worked. - Download the 64-bit Flash player from Adobe. I got the RC1 version. Then do these as root: cd / tar xzvf <wherever>/flashplayer11_rc1_install_lin_64_090611.tar.gz chown root:root libflashplayer.so chmod 755 libflashplayer.so # didn't know it had to be executable earlier. mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ - It was still failing because it was using gnash-plugin even though I'd selected "Use Shockwave Flash" in Edit->Preferences->Applications for "Shockwave Flash file", so I yum remove gnash-plugin Now I get audio and video for YouTube stuff as well as non-YT stuff, and as a bonus, I get my Live365 audio again. I am a happy camper. Oh, and the 32-bit stuff is still installed, so it will coexist with the 64-bit player. Thanks for your patience and guidance.
