Unfortunately - Adobe does not provide a Flash player for the PowerPC processor in the PS3. We have to use open source, reverse engineered, semi-compatible Flash-workalikes called
gnash or
swfdec.
If you haven't already, you should set up your system according to the post here:
viewtopic.php?t=3017You should find both of these in our standard repository setup. (Gnash is availalbe from the default YDL repositories now, I think.)
As for codecs, you'll want to install
gstreamer-plugins-ugly and
gstreamer-plugins-bad - that will allow the built-in players like Totem, etc. handle MP3s, etc. You get those from the same repos I listed above.
Just FYI - Realplayer doesn't seem to work correctly on the PS3. I tried for a while to get it working, but I think the lack of true X Overlay Plane support for video in the framebuffer driver did me in.
Also - be careful of what you're installing. The PS3 isn't compatible with any binary code for x86 processors - you need to make sure the code you're downloading is PowerPC architecture (aka ppc). The standard repos take care of that.
