Flash Player in browser goes blank

I've been running an Internet radio station since 2006 and use the Flash Player for the audio playback stream in my browser and have never had any problems until now.
About three weeks ago, no matter what version of Flash Player is being used (and also including YouTube videos and similar), after approximately 4-7 hours of continuous play all of the Flash Players stop (in the instances when I was listening when a player stopped, a buzz is heard when the audio stops) and every browser page with a Flash Player displays a blank space where the player goes (In YouTube a circle with an exclamation mark displays). I have done various troubleshooting and testing for the past several weeks, but can't seem to work out a fix for this problem.
As a reference here is a screen shot of the player displaying a blank field:

Here's an additional screen shot displaying the Flash Player* normally:

*Note, Flash Player is the bottom player. Top Player is Windows Media Player and doesn't play on a Mac, so is not of issue.
Any insight or fix for this problem would be appreciated. Thank you
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.6.6)   Safari Browser 5.0.3  

I am very surprised no one has responded to this post? Certainly, there must be others who have experienced this problem. I am, however, assuming this may be a problem isolated to Mac users with the i7 quad processor using Snow Leopard OSX version10.6.6, as I never encountered this problem before I had the new processor and OS.
I recently tested on Google Chrome and the problem happens there too, so Safari (v5.0.4), Firefox (v3.6.15) and Google Chrome (v10.0.648.151) all have instances of Adobe Flash failing after anywhere from 4-9 hours or so, give or take.
Can anyone shed any light on how to remedy this problem? I would like to get back to Adobe Flash working infinitely, as before, and never stopping.
Thank you.

  • Adobe Flash Player: Installer window is blank.

    Hello, I've been trying to update my current version 15.0.0.162? to the newest version but every time I launch the installer the window comes up blank, regardless of whether the browser is still open or not. I can't even locate the download path in windows to launch without the browser, it doesn't show up anywhere. Anyone know what is going on?

  • RTMPT causes Flash player and browser to freeze

    I'm having a problem with outgoing RTMPT connections.
    Whenever I connect to "rtmpt://server/app/file" (or when specifying
    rtmp:// which falls back onto rtmpt:// due to firewall
    restrictions), the Flash player plugin causes the browser to freeze
    for 5-15 seconds and then proceeds with the playback normally. This
    affects all browsers on Windows with Flash plugin versions 9.0.115
    or 9.0.124 only. MacOSX is working perfectly fine. I'm using Flash
    Media Server version 3.0.2.
    I discovered that when activating an HTTP proxy server (I'm
    using Squid Cache 2.6.STABLE14) in Internet Explorer, the RTMPT
    traffic gets redirected through it smoothly and the issue as
    described above does not occur.

  • Flash Player crashes when going into full screen mode

    Hey guys! It's basically as the title implies. Whenever I am watching a video and attempt to go into full screen mode, flash player crashes and I get an error window reading "Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 has stopped working". As a matter of fact, it doesn't even happen all the time. It happens most of the time, however. It has happened even immediately after searching for and installing the newest version. What might be causing this and what can I do to resolve it? I am using Windows 7 32-bit and Firefox as my browser.
    Thanks in advance friends!

    this may be hardware related.  try unselecting  "Hardware Acceleration..."
    right click a movie or flash content and uncheck the box in the first tab in Settings.  quit out of the browser and try fullscreen again.

  • Flash Player and Browser Communication

    According to this article:
    http://blog.dannypatterson.com/?p=133
    Compressed data (gzip files) being sent from the server are
    unzipped by the browser before being passed to Flash Player -
    therefore there is no need to write separate action script classes
    to deal with the data.
    I am getting conflicting reports from other developers saying
    that the Flash player communicates directly with data coming from
    the server with no stop at the browser level. According to them,
    you must write actionscript classes to decompress the data.
    Who is right?

    If you want to report Flash Player bug, right location is here. If you report ActionScrit bug, JIRA is right place though.
    By the way I belive this is not bug but expected behavior. I'll follow up more info in Flash Player forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/920682?tstart=0

  • Flash player and browser shortcut keys issue

    I've an issue to run the browser hot keys when the flash player is running, the player is kinda stoping the propagation of the events to the browser, is there a way for the player to bubble the events to the browser? .
    My application covers the whole browsing area.(flex). I've tried usign empty application without any events, still it is an issue(thought i'm stopping it from propagating to the browser )
    Tested on : Windows 7, Chrome 15, Firefox 7.01, (Works on IE)

    I am looking into this right now. Please stay tuned for more info.
    thanks,

  • Adobe flash player crashes browser

    The flash player I use started craching just itself now it crashes both firefox and IE. Ive already reinstalled it what now.

    The next thing to check would be your McAfee add ons that are in each browser.
    You didn't say which McAfee program you have Installed, but try disabling any and all of the addons.
    There is also a Virus Scan that is known to cause problems, but you double click the icon in your system tray and see if you have it.
    Click Advanced Menu, Configure, Computer & Files. The Virus Scan should be in the right-hand windows.
    Some users have the scriptproxy, Toolbar, etc.
    Turning these off and see if that helps.
    Also when you say the browsers are crashing, explain exactly what is happening. Anti-Virus addons in the browser can conflict with the Websites and also Flash Player, since Flash Player works thru the browser. In fact addons can conflict with each other.
    That would be the only thing that I know that is left to check.
    Thanks,

  • Flash player freezes browser after watching 2 or 3 videos

    I have been having this problem for a while now and it is beginning to drive me insane.
    I am using Chrome with Flash player version 11.8.800.170 on Windows 7 32 bit
    When I boot up my computer I am able to watch 2 or 3 videos, occasionally a few more, with no problems. When I load another, the video will load and play for about 10 sec before it freezes. At this point the whole browser will stop working. Webpages already open will look normal and the browsers seems fine unless I try to open another tab or refresh a page. Nothing will load. The only way to fix the problem is to reboot the whole computer and start again.
    I have tried on Firefox as well with the same problem. I followed the guide on how to uninstall and load a previous flash version to see if that fixed it but wasn't successfull.
    It might be unrelated but when I tried to sign in via the adobe forum page to create this topic Chrome reported the link as not found. I have had to use my fiance's Mac with the same internet connection in order to post this.
    Any ideas are extremely welcome! I really hope someone is able to help me, like I said, this problem is driving me nuts!

    1.) Do you have the same issue in other browsers?
    2.) Do you see an improvement when you disable hardware acceleration (instructions in the troubleshooting guide below):
         https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
    3.) Are you using any ad-blocking, anti-tracking, video capture plugins or software firewalls?  If so, what are they (include versions)?
    If you're still stuck, please follow the directions in the guide on providing the dxdiag report and additional information about what you tested and saw.

  • Flash player will not install blank installer, full download? tool remove remnants of flash?

    Windows 7 64bit, Firefox,Explorer, Chrome
    For the longest time flash player will not install (updates for upgrades).
    If I go to the main page I can download the 1mb file then open it up and the installer box opens but never does anything and is just black except the top bar. I can't even close it out. I have to "end task" it. I has been going on for a year or so.  I usually have to find a link to the full installer version but can't find it anymore.
    Is there a tool to remove all remnants of Adobe flash player?
    Link to full installer version of player?
    I tried uninstalling all versions but still the same problem
    Thanks

    The installer works for the vast majority of people.  We serve up something like 1.2 billion installs every months, so a failure rate of even 0.0001 is > 100,000 people.  We're not seeing that kind of traffic about this issue.
    As the installer isn't dependent on Flash Player, and it doesn't leave anything around beyond a log file, it's unlikely that blowing Flash Player completely away would resolve anything, and it sounds like your efforts bear that out.  There's something underneath us that's not working right.  With Mac, it's usually corrupted NVRAM settings, but I'm not sure what it is on Windows.  My guess is that it's related to the graphics subsystem, but it's not something that I've seen happen under lab conditions, and we'd need to debug it to get a definitive answer.
    So, I have a couple suggestions in order of least to most effort:
    Switch to Google Chrome. 
    Flash Player is a built-in component, so there's nothing separate to download or maintain.  Updates happen automatically as part of the standard Chrome update process, so you never have to touch another Adobe installer if you don't want to.
    Scan your hard disk for errors, run the Windows system file checker, and make sure you have the latest graphics drivers for your system
    Check your hard disk for errors in Windows 7
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    Back up all of your stuff (ideally to both a disk and an online backup service for redundancy), wipe the machine and do a fresh install of Windows

  • I download the new flash player and it goes all the way through and says finish but it does nothing

    I go to Adode's website and download the new flash player because I can't watch clips all the sudden and I go all the way through the download and click finish. But when I go to say youtube it says I need a newer flash player.  It's a never ending thing, no matter what I do it's the same over and over.  Please help

    It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
    For fixing IE or Safari, lets follow below suggestions :
    Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
    For MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    For Windows : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Restart the machine.
    Download and Re-install Flash Player.
    Restart the browser and check.

  • Browser goes blank before displaying page

              Ideas welcomed on this issue.
              I have an MVC style application that on a request does some business stuff in
              the servlet and then forwards to some JSPs to paint the output.
              The problem is that once the JSPs start being processed the browser gets the first
              bit of response and goes blank - then the page content will be drawn quarter/half
              a second later. This is quite annoying for the users.
              Anyone had a similar issue who could share some thoughts on this???

              That's because the browser starts to receive a response.
              If you don't like that behavior, make sure that not even the header gets
              committed ... increase the size of the buffer on the response, for example.

  • Flash player causes browser crash MAC 10.6.4

    If I visit any site using flash player it causes whatever browser I'm using to lock-up with spinning colour wheel, leading to me having to force quit the program.

    Hey.
    I have the same issue, suddenly all my browsers crash if Flash Player is embeded in the site. The issue started before I updated to 10.6.4 and the updating did not fix it. I'm a Flash developer, so I tried a lot of things to fix the issue like:
    - reinstalling Firefox
    - installing Chrome
    - reinstalling Flash 10.1 ( uninstall/install)
    - uninstall Firefox/Flash, Repair Permissions, install Firefox/Flash 10.1, Repair Permissions, run Firefox, still crashes
    - uninstall Firefox/Flash, Repair Permissions, install Firefox/Flash Player 9, Repair Permissions, run Firefox, still crashes
