Barry,
I run Debian Testing, but Flash (from debian-multimedia) has been completely broken for me for a while. TBH, a lot of things have been broken since the upgrade to KDE 4.
Are you trying to use flash in Konqueror? And is it the flashplayer-mozilla package? Or something GNU Gnash-based (like Klash)? All options which don't involve Adobe Flash on Firefox have always been a bit dodgy, IMO. When I used to use KDE (ah happy days) I used to reserve Firefox for viewing Flash content and blocked Konqueror from being able to load Flash stuff.
I'm considering a complete reinstall of my environment atm, it's that b0rked.
It can't really be that broken. I think it's going to take a long time before KDE 4 is as stable as 3.5 was before it was effectively discontinued. Maybe use something else in the meantime?
I used Fluxbox for quite a long time. But I've switched to a minimal GNOME for now because GTK rendering in Emacs seems to be much smoother in GNOME. Possibly a GTK engines thing? </rambling>

My wife uses Iceweasel to access youtube and she discovered that recently when she tries to play something it starts to buffer the stream but after a very short while the buffering stops. When the play indicator reaches the end of the buffer mark it stops and won't play any more.
She also uses BBC iPlayer but that doesn't give any problems.
Can anyone nudge me in the right direction in trying to diagnose this?

Uninstalling and reinstalling the Mozilla Flash plugin solved the problem. I new you'd be dying to know. :-))
