Cannot play any video on epiphany

You just need to remove the totem browser plugin:

sudo apt-get purge totem-mozilla

And you should try to install Flash Player from Software Center (or try installing flashplugin-installer)

    I have installed the EPIPHANY WEB BROWSER developed by GNOME

    But the problem i face is i cannot see any video on it..!!

    No flash content is displayed either.

    Only a window showing TOTEM player shows up...How can i get it working??

    I have Flashplayer plugin installed along with Gnash.

    Only some YOUTUBE videos can be played.But only a handfull of them..!!

    here is what happens-

    1.FLASH CONTENT

    On which site do you get that error? It could be a site that requires Microsoft Silverlight, but if it's definitely because of flash, try to reinstall it.

    I think Chrome has its own Flash Player that's perhaps installed through Chrome instead of Software Center. Try Firefox. Does it work there?

    Then, if you don't have much Settings and bookmarks, try to remove epiphany and flash completely, because it should use the same plugins as firefox (as Subv3rsion mentioned in his answer) with sudo apt-get autoremove --purge flashplugin-installer epiphany-browser and then install them again with sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer epiphany-browser

    hi, the question is about a missing package, your answer isn't addressing the question. the package mentioned is not in the repositories. Possibly the restricted repositories have to be enabled, or the repositories need to be updated by running 'apt-get update'.
