Well, I just uninstalled / reinstalled flashplugin-installer using the
software centre to be sure, then restarted the PC, logged in then ran
media player by itself. Sound was fine as before but, also as before, an
image is only available for a fraction of a second if I drag to move
then drop the media player window. As an alternative, I recently
installed VLC media player, which works fine. As for attaching the
output of lspci -vvnn - not being a regular UNIX shell user, I am unsure
how to do that for you. Please advise and I shall be happy to assist
further.

Title:
  ABC iView Flashplayer file blacking out on playback

Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Just downloaded the file spooks_11_09_04.flv (a 640 x 360, H.264 video
  codec / MPEG-4 AAC audio codec, 25 frames a second FLV file) using the
  Python iView file streaming application and, with no other
  applications running, tried to play it back with the new Media Player
  (Totem Movie Player 2.32.0) which installed with the 11.01 Natty
  Narwhal upgrade that I did yesterday evening. The previous version of
  this application had the Flashplayer plugin installed and working
  perfectly. Now, on this new version, I can only see flickering pieces
  of the video images when I press the F11 key repeatedly to go between
  full screen and window modes, as if a black overlay is blocking an
  underlying image from being viewed. I also just tried playing a
  regular (non Flashplayer) MP4 video and that encounters the same
  problem. Please advise a workaround. Thanks in anticipation.
