Flash Player distortion issue with videos

Why do some videos show up like this when I'm streaming them?
[IMG]http://imgur.com/D7LaC.png[/IMG]
I have the latest version of Flash Player 10. The image will get all "blocky" and discolored. I've even seen it happen to select YouTube videos.
I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium, and I'm using the latest Internet Explorer 32-bit.

Hi eolo2, The turning off the H.A. is the solution in addition to what I just posted to JM761 regarding the drivers is what Adobe recommends. Not everyone's system can use the H.A. You can read about it here:

Firefox 12 flash player not working with video on Facebook

Using Firefox 12, newest flash player 32 bit -- embedded video won't work on Facebook. I have tried another computer with XP SP3, completely removed firefox, flash, started in safe mode with add ons disabled, even created a new profile with no addons at all, and nothing seems to fix the problem. Video plays fine in Internet Explorer. That said, YouTube works fine so I don't think its a flash 'only' problem. (I right clicked on video to make sure flash was playing the video and not html 5.)

Is the Flash player loaded if you right-click that black box where the player should be?
Does it help if you try to "Disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player?

Firefox 13 flash player not working with video (white screen)

I moved to the new 13 version, but there is a white screen where the video is supposed to run. Youtube is also showing an error (not playing video).
I thought it was the new update to the flash player, but chrome and IE are working fine so it is a firefox thing.

Hello All,
I just spent hours figuring out a solution for this problem. THEN I noticed that Firefox had an official "response" to the issue, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-crashes-or-does-not-load-firefox-13 Here] .
I didn't try any of the 'fixes' listed in the above article, because I'd already lost my patience and reverted back to a previous version of Flash until a proper and official fix becomes available.
Here are instructions on how to revert back to an old version of the Adobe Flash Plugin.
''' I've attached pictures for all of the steps below''', as a visual reference. To be entirely honest, you may want to just look at the pictures. I tend to go into a lot of detail when typing out instructions, and the pictures may be easier to follow. :-D
'''IMPORTANT :''' First, you must uninstall the current Flash Plugin from the Programs list on your computer. For me (Windows 7), you can do this by going into Control Panel -- Programs and Features -- Find "Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin" in the programs list -- Right Click -- Uninstall.
Now, follow the steps below. Remember: pictures are attached below for visual representations of each step.
*'''Step 1:''' You need to know which version of Flash to download. Open [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ THIS LINK] in a new tab to go to the main Flash Download page, and at the top of the screen you'll see this: '''Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.257 (9.36 MB)''', and directly under it, you'll see this: '''Your system: Windows 32-bit , English, Firefox'''. Remember this information. You will be needing it later.
**'''NOTE:''' That is just a sample. Your system could be Mac, Spanish, whatever. The point is, Adobe will let you know which system you're running, and therefore, which Flash Player you'll need.
*'''Step 2:''' After you've seen which system you're running, click on the ''''Do you have a different operating system or browser?'''' link directly below your system info.
*'''Step 3:''' A new page will appear. You DO NOT have to select your operating system or version from the drop down lists. Just look below the "Download Now" button, and you'll see a message saying ''''If your operating system/browser combination is not displayed, ''click here'' for older versions of Adobe Flash Player.'''' Click on that light blue "Click Here" link.
*'''Step 4:''' A new page will appear again. This page is titled ''''Flash Player Help / Archived Flash Player Versions.'''' When you get to this page, scroll waaay down until you get to the section titled ''''Release and Content Debugger Archives'''', (directly below the chart).
*'''Step 5:''' Click on any of the listed versions of Flash Player to download. I clicked on the topmost one (Released: 4/13/2012, Version: 11.2.202.233). Download this .zip file to your computer.
*'''Step 6:''' Open the .zip file, and install this version of Flash Player as usual. Again, I'm running Windows 7 32 bit, so from here on out, I can only provide instructions for similar Operating Systems. But I'm sure you'll get the idea.
'''For Windows 7:''' Double click on the .zip file you just downloaded to open it. One file folder will be displayed inside (mine was titled ''fp_11.2.202.233_archive''). Open this file folder.
Next, remember which 'bit' your system is running (this information was from Step 1), and click on the appropriate folder. My system is 32 bit, so I clicked on the first 32 bit folder (titled ''11_2r202_233_32bit'').
A whole bunch of files are contained in this folder. Once again, I can only speak for myself, but I chose the '''''flashplayer11_2r202_233_win_32bit'' Windows Installer Package''' file. A setup was executed, and a previous version of Adobe Flash Plugin is now installed on my system.
It's been running flawlessly ever since! YouTube works again, and though I have a huge headache, it works for now until a fix is released by Mozilla.
I don't know a lot of technical terms, but I wanted to at least attempt to explain this fix for others out there with the same YouTube/Flash/Mozilla Firefox problem. If anyone has any questions, feel free to reply and I'll certainly try to help you!

Flash player 10 problem with video ?

When seeing a video with flash player 10 on YouTube through a wireless 802.11g network, the buffering isn't working and video stop and start.
Flash Player 10.0.42.34

I had already tried this before (I uninstalled all adobe programs and installed everything again). Now I tried it again, but still doesn't work, I really don't know why, cause I have fast computer and internet was always quick too... I installed browser Google Chrome, and You Tube works in it, but it's slower than in Mozilla...
Thank you for you're trying to help me, but I really don't know anymore...

Issue with latest Flash Player version when replaying videos

I am using an older version of JWplayer "5.10.2295" in a lot of sites and it was working fine so far. Since the latest version of Flash Player came out the videos can't be played a second time on any browser on Windows. It is working fine for me on Mac - quickly tested in Firefox (Nightly) and Safari (latest stable).
Reverting to an older version showed that everything was working fine before. I tried the latest 13 and 14 from Archived Flash Player versions
Has this kind of issue been reported already? Any change in the upcoming beta that might fix this?
Thanks,
Albert

I uninstalled FP following the steps on Uninstall Flash Player | Windows and installed 'flashplayer15_install_win_pi/ax/ppapi.exe' from Download Adobe Flash Player 15 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs instead.

Any ideas?

I have a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 13 with no restore disk; it has OS 10.8.4 I believe there is something wrong with the OS due to I can not install flash player to view Youtube videos and the when we plug in a Bose headset the sound out will work sometimes

I bough a used Macbook Pro mid 2009 that came with OS 10.8.9 it didn't have a backup restore disk with S/N W8******66D
When trying to view some youtube videos; a window would pop up saying "it needs adobe flash player is required for video play back get the latest flash player" but after downloading the file and during installation would have errors and will not installed.....tried to reboot and install again.....but still the same.
The othe thing I had noticed is when using a good Bose headset with mic the sound output would noticed the headset and then switch from headset to Internal speekers and headset.....thinking that there might be something wrong with the plug in port of the computer or the headset.....the headset works with no issues on my iPad so there must be something wrong with the computer.....tried to move the plugin around the port but no change....while the headset is plug in can hear a short clicking noise and the sound would get lost and back again......but with nothing plugin to the port there is no issue with the sound or mic.
Thanks for your feed back......it looks like I have two different issues one is a software issue and the outher is a hardware issue
<Edited By Host>

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

I figured it out.
It has to do with nested items using 3d functionality.
I had sprites loading the images which I in turn addChild to another sprite (so I could offset the position before rotation).
As soon as I changed my
holder.addChild(image);
to
addChild(image);
... my problems disappeared !
This means I have to change my concept a bit, or at least rewrite the code - but at least the stuff stays on screen.
I really hope this issue gets sorted out.
Hope you figure your issue out as well.

Videos won't play in Safari. Notice says, "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I have downloaded it, but no change. All videos play OK in firefox, but I like the controls in Safari better and want to stay with it.

If that doesn't help, UNinstall the old Flash plugin first, then reinstall new.

After installing Adobe Flash Player Plugin to view videos on youtube, mozilla gets hangs intermittently. Please help

I installed Firefox 23.0.1 and after that It asked me to install Flash Player Plugin to view videos on Youtbe. I installed Flash Player 11 Plugin and since then Mozilla started hanging/freezing intermittently. It hangs on those websites also where videos are not running.
I uninstalled Flash Player 11 Plugin and it works smoothly without it.
Please help

This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common reasons for Flash problems in Firefox:
(1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
Many thanks,
Ian Pickering

This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

Flash player wont finish youtube videos

I am running Windows 7 with IE9. Flash player will not finish youtube videos. It plays any video about halfway through and then it stops playing and skips to the next video on the list. This also happens in other websites that use flashplayer to play music/audio. It will play a song most of the way through and then stop before the song finishes. Please help I have searched online and cannot find anything about this sort of problem. I have cleaned out all caches, I have uninstalled flash player using the official flash player uninstaller and then reinstalled the latest version. I have even done a system restore to a point prior to this problem starting and nothing has fixed this. As far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with my internet or with my computer hardware. Thank you.

Moved to the Using Flash Player forum, as this isn't specific to the Beta.
Please check out the basic troubleshooting information for video here. Let us know the relevant details and how each of the troubleshooting steps works for you. This will help us isolate the root-cause.
Basic Troubleshooting Info
To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
- Operating system
- Browser
- Flash Player version - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
The first step is to work through the video troubleshooting guide for your operating system, here:
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.htm
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Windows_users
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Mac_OS_users
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify this by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the menu.
- HTML5 video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w&html5=True
- Non-HTML5 video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w
Thanks!

My flash player didnot support such video and the version is too low

I have checked in your internet, it told me Flash Player is pre-installed with Internet Explorer in Windows 8. and Either Flash Player is disabled or ActiveX Filter is ON.

For flash play, it can play most of flash video, however, it shows my flash player didnot support such video and the version is too low. In fact, the my downloaded version is the laterest. how can i fix the problem? thanks.

Why does flash player not work with facebook?

Why does flash player not work with fcebook? Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.

This means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
