Bug Description

Hi! I have Pipelight 0.2.8 for OpenSUSE 13.2 and I am having a problem with Flash being out of date to play xfinity video streams in Firefox version 50.0 for OpenSUSE 13.2. When I login to https://tv.xfinity.com/listings and select the tv program to view, it tries to load that video but then says that I need to upgrade my Adobe Flash. In addition I am using the User Agent Overrider that was suggested on the Pipelight launchpad.net web site and set the override string as:

Windows / Firefox 47.0: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0

My shockwave shows up as 23.0.0.205 and the current Adobe version released is 23.0.0.207 and I would like to know how to manually update the shockwave flash to version 23.0.0.207 from the Adobe flashplayer23_d_install.exe update file? What directory to put this update file in so Pipelight can use it?

Also, when I go into the Firefox add-ons/plug-ins menu screen, the Shockwave install status is shown as:

All of these plugins are set as Always Activate. Is this correct?

I also have been using Windows 7 Firefox version 20.x with Crossover 15.3.0.0 and Flash 23.0.0.185 and Silverlight_5.1.10411.0_npctrl.dll.so, which is why there's (Crossover plugins entities) in the above listings. Firefox 20.x runs very well in Crossover 15.3.0.0 with Shockwave 23.0.0.185 and Silverlight_5.1.10411.0_npctrl.dll.so and surprisingly has not crash as of yet.

By the way, Silverlight Plug-In5.1.41212.0libpipelight-silverlight5.1.so works very well with native Firefox version 50.0 for OpenSUSE 13.2 x86 (64-bit) and Netflix video streaming. No problems to report.

Anyway, I don't understand why the Flash/Shockwave version 23.0.0.205 of Pipelight version 0.2.8 won't play XFinity streaming videos in Firefox version 50.0 with the useragent value set to: Windows / Firefox 47.0: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0. Unless this is a bug in the Flash/Shockwave version 23.0.0.205 distro?

Thank you,

David A. Smith
