If you're seeing issues with FF Flash plug-in, you may want to upgrade FF to 41.0.1 (Update FF outside of SBIE, then restart FF, confirm the update has taken place.... then open FF in a SB.)

Re: FF hangs with Flash Plug in|FF Issue|Fixed in 41.0.1
Hasn't fixed it. I'm on 41.0.1 and Sandboxie 5.04.
Using Sandboxie to try to workaround a problem capturing streaming from BBC iPlayer (using Replay Media Catcher). The problem with RMC is that it will work (un sandboxed) for an arbitrary number of iPlayer downloads (typically more than half a dozen) then suddenly cease. No amount of cache clearing, history clearing or resetting of applications will get it to start again. The only thing that works is a reboot.
Thought I might circumvent that irritation with Sandboxie. Figured if I ran Firefox in the sandbox, when RMC failed I would simple be able to delete the sandbox contents and start again, which is a lot quicker than rebooting. That worked in a related situation (downloads from other sites which don't use DRM) but when I tried it with iPlayer, I couldn't even start most of the downloads because Flash kept crashing as soon as I pressed "play" and although I could sometimes bully it into cooperation, it was more pain than it was worth. Suspect its the DRM side of the Flash plugin that is causing the problem.
The error message isn't particularly helpful:
"The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Reload the page to try again." (which is a waste of time) and below that message it says "No report available" which means even its debugger hasn't got a clue.
Oh, and I should add that this is clearly a Firefox problem, not Sandboxie. If I use the latest version of Chrome in the sandbox, everything works as it should...

If you have any dump files, please post them somewhere. As for DRM, we can't assist on DRM related content.
