Mountain Lion and Flash player

I have just downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and now I can't play the national swedish radio channel anymore. The radio requires flash player (which I have) and I get the message "plug-in blocked". What can I do?

Had same problem today. Fixed it by going to Preferences, Flash Player: Open Preferences, find icon for flash player at bottom bar, under Other: In flash player preferences, check all tabs, were set to "block access..."; changed to "ask me...". Went back to tv.adobe.com, selected a video, and sure enough the system asked if I wanted to allow the program to store data in my disk, selected yes and the video startde playing.

I KNOW this is a very old post, but I have to say:


Christianoapr, If I knew where you were I would totally KISS you!!!!


I have been fighting adobe flash not working on my MAC for a VERY long time. Almost to the point of going back to windows! Adobe flash not working is almost a deal breaker and I tried everything I could find until I found this post this morning.


Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

MTU problems affect a lot more than just flash video playback, but generally there's really only two settings you should be using 1500 or 1492; 1380 is just some random number that's below the limit of PPPoE's 1492 that is likely the root of the problem, feel free to increase that maximum till it breaks, and then back down.

I had all kinds of trouble not being able to get complete web pages or anything at all from some sites, and it turned out it was because I was on Verizon DSL which at the time used PPPoE configured in my router, but a second router on the network was accidentally using 1500 and telling all the client machine that this was the MTU for the network, which did not pass well through the PPPoE router.
