Though the HAL installation did nothing to change the symptoms in Chrome it does work for Firefox.  Upon system reboot (don't know that it was required but I'm too conditioned from years of MS not to) I was able to log into hbogo.com via Firefox (v35.0.1) and start streaming John Oliver's LWT.

Thanks again for the lightning fast solution Jerry...worth another donation as far as I'm concerned.

Try this:

Open a terminal to add this ppa and install HAL.
Type each line and press enter at the end of each line.

Code: [Select]
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mjblenner/ppa-hal

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install hal


When HAL is installed type each line of the following and press enter at end of each line.

Code: [Select]
cd ~/.adobe/Flash_Player

rm -rf NativeCache AssetCache APSPrivateData2

If that doesn't work, you could install PlayOnLinux and try that.
Menu, System, Install Additional Software, PlayOnLinux. Then install Firefox and Flash through PlayOnLinux.

I am hoping to be able to use Linuxlite to watch online streaming episodes from HBOGO.  Any attempt to view a video returns nothing (but an empty screen) from both Firefox and Chrome.  Searching around a bit it appears that Pipelight may be a solution that allows the streaming content inside the adobe flash viewer (which is the latest version) inside the Chrome browser.  I'm a bit confused as to whether the newest version of Pipelight requires the full Wine installation which I would prefer not to do.

Does anyone have HBOGO working?  How was this achieved?  Thanks.
