FLV videos advance in some browsers, but won't in others

I have a .NET web app used to display a series of videos.  Which video to load next is controlled by Action Script 3 calling an aspx page to retrieve data from the database and return the info via XML which tells the action script which .flv video to load.  Everything works perfectly for a few people in IE7, but the next video isn't loaded for most.  The call to retrieve the xml seems to be working fine, at least on the intial video.  I am a .NET programmer who had to learn Action Script for this project, so needless to say I'm very new to Flash and Action Script.
Has any one had a similar experience that could shed some light on what could possibly be going wrong? The browsers that I am testing with (the one that works and the one that doesn't) are both IE7 and both have Flash Player 10.  Any ideas what else I could check?  All help is appreciated!

Well, I found the answer to this.  It was obvious (after I found it, of course.)
My actionscript was calling a .aspx page to return xml containing which file to load next and other info needed to manage the videos.  I had taken care to prevent the page that held the player from caching, but it hadn't occurred to me that the aspx page returning the xml was caching.  Well, it was and kept returning the same values and that is why the video would not progress to the next one.
Anyway, to solve this I sent a random number in the querystring to make it unique and voila! it is working like it should.

  • Video with JWPlayer does load, but won't play and no error message (as plug-in needed) apear. What's the problem?

    video's with JWPlayer start loading but won't play and stay black with a rolling wheel. The player is shown and even full screen can be activated.
    There is no message for a missing plug-in.

    Do you see an error message about this in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Command+Shift+K)?

    I don't understand this. I am not a code expert by any means, but I was told that by purchasing the Deamweaver software I would not need to be a web developer to make a site?? The remainder of the site looks great, but I need to insert some video clips on this one page and it won't do it. Please help me!!

    Go to Sites > Manage Sites > Edit your site definition settings.  If you haven't defined a site yet, Hit NEW and set-up your Local Info first. 
    Then, select Remote Info (it's in the Advanced panel). 
    Fill in the fields with the log-in details your host sent you.   This is how DW will connect you to the remote server. 
    NOTE: my screenshot looks different but you get the general idea.
    Hit OK.
    Select your test page in the Files Panel and hit the UP arrow to upload your page & dependant files to the remote server.   As Hans said earlier, you need all four files to support Flash Video.
    Come back and post the URL to your page.

  • External Video Monitor shows still picture but won't play

    I have a sony minidv deck for external device control and a sony trinitron monitor. I am using FCP 6.0 and a imac intel core. It had been working fine, but now I can't get a playback. The monitor only shows the most recent still image of what was played. i'v replaced the firewire cord so that's not it. The deck palys dv tapes on the monitor fine. Any ideas what the problem could be?

    Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
    If you are working with DV, this is simple. First connect your computer to a camera or deck via firewire, Then connect the camera/deck to your TV/Monitor via RCA or S-Video.
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Go to the View Menu, choose > External video > all frames
    VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.
    If you are working with HDV footage, FCP 6 allows you to view this via firewire, but ONLY as downconverted DV. It won't look the best, but you can see it. To do this,
    If you need to view any format other than DV at full resolution, then you need to look into capture cards. Several standard definition and high definition models are available from www.aja.com and www.decklink.com. With these options you'll need a proper monitor to view full broadcast colors, but all models allow for realtime standard definition downconvert, allowing you to view HD on an SD monitor.
    The Matrox MXO is another option that is output only, but allows you to view your footage on an Apple Cinema Display at full broadcast quality.

  • Flash Poor Video Quality in All Browsers But IE

    Hello
    I'm using Firefox 34.0.5 on Windows 8.1 and flash player of version 16.0.0.235.
    I noticed a very poor quality on the flash videos in this browser. I watched the same video on Internet Explorer, and the quality was excellent. Here is a link: http://www.adultswim.com/videos/blue-exorcist/a-flock-of-plovers/
    It is worth noting, the same video had poor quality both in Chrome in Maxthon. I could sure watch it in IE, but for some reason it stops after 5 minutes there (while the video itself is 20 minutes long).
    Please help guys.

    Hi all,
    It's good to know it's getting out there but I'm still flummoxed.  I tried reloading Firefox the newest download.  I also reloaded Adobe Flash 10 and at my computer I still get...
    I've tried refresh on the view screen which has fooled me in the past.  Otherwise don't know...

  • Video Chat works some places but not everywhere

    My video chat works sometimes but it seems when I am at home it will not work with my internet? the people I am chatting with are on the same internet that they were on when it worked. Why is this? what can I change?

    Hi,
    I would change the Bandwidth Setting in iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit drop down.
    Start at 500kbps
    Open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) during a chat.
    Try other settings but allow the Buffering to smooth out the change as seen in the Bit rate becoming stable in the Connection Doctor.
    Most Issues are about the amount of Internet Speed iChat 5 can see compared to other version which can impact on how much data you can send or receive.
    In some cases this change can be impacted by Threshold controlled features in your modem or router (Turn Off SPI or DoS items).

  • MP3 audio file plays well in some browsers, but not all

    I have inserted a media file (MP3 audio file) on a web page to play when clicked.  The play bar shows up and plays perfectly in Chrome just the way I want it. In Explorer the play bar is HUGE and it plays, but repositions itself on the page due to it's large size.  In Safari or Opera the play bar either doesn't play anything or doesn't even show upon the page.  Does anyone have a ny idea what's going on or have a solution?

    #1 You must use an HTML5 doc type. Your doc type is XHTML which doesn't support <audio> tags.
    #2  To work in all browsers, you need to include an alternate file type -- either OGG or WMA.  Opera & pre-FF21 browsers do not support MP3/mpeg files.
    http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-ogg
    #3 Don't use folder/filenames with spaces on the web.  Rename your media files to Mixdown_with_Vocalists.mp3 (no spaces). 
    #4  Paste this code into a new, blank document.  It should work in all devices:
    <!doctype html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML5 Document</title>
    <!--[if lt IE 9]>

          <source src="Mixdown_with_Vocalists.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
    If you see this, you're using an outdated browser that doesn't support audio.

  • Apple uses the postal service for delivery of  some items but won't allow entry of a PO box. This presents a problem when the post office is in a town where they don't do street address deliveries. I can find no place to submit this problem except here.

    I've just placed an order for a 13" Macbook Pro and a superdrive, both to be shipped to a business street address. The cart shows the computer being delivered by "standard shipping" but the superdrive by the Postal Service--but at this address the PO doesn't do street delivery. If Apple would when this kind of delivery is specified allow the entry of a PO box it would solve the problem. An option to enter this info could be presented on the screen when appropriate and it would be very simple to do. I hope this suggestion gets to the right people--I could find no way to submit it on the Apple site and even here I've had to choose a product as a community when something like "Apple Shipping systems" would have been better. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has encountered this problem.

    Apple folks would be monitoring this and perhaps tell me a better way or pass the info on.
    NOPE!  Apple does not monitor their message boards because it's user to user.  If Feedback is working out, then call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2275.  Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.         GOOD LUCK! 

  • Mail bounces a few times but won't open, other apps work.

    OK, I searched the forums and can't find an answer related to this for mail (found it for itunes, safari, etc). I am sure this is a mundane thing but to my computer simple mind, I am stuck.
    My husband ran a Safari update. Since then the mail icon bounces but will not open. All other apps work. I trashed (and emptied) all the Safari stuff. I ran disk utlities repair. I inserted the startup disk, holding key "c" and did a hard drive repair and I got nothing.
    How do I get my mail back on track??? Anyone???
    Thanks in advance.

    You have doe the Disk "Repair", which is the first (and harder) part. The second part is the "Repair Permissions". It is much easier because it can be done "live" in the running system.
    Quit all other Applications and run Disk Utility.
    Select your Hard drive and check the SMART Drive status in the bottom margin for "Verified"
    Click on ( Repair permisions)
    wait while lots of wacky message scroll by. These can safely be ignored unless they appear in RED.
    Quit Disk Utility
    try to start Mail again.

  • My ipod works fine with some headphones but when I put others in it plays for about 20 seconds than fades and shuts off?

    I can use one of my skullcandys but when i try to use the other pair it works for about 20 or so seconds before it will fade away

    Make sure the plug is pressed in all the way.  The fit seems to be different for different brands, so with some headphones, it takes more pressure to insert the plug completely (including Apple's recent EarPods).  If the plug is not completely inserted, you may hear something, but the shuffle does not "see" the headphone so stops playing after a short period.

  • Sound will not export with video in only 3 scenes, but exports fine in other scenes for the most part. In the last scene the audio does export to video, but the this scene is a video that I imported with rolling credits. the rolling credits do not appear

  • TS1967 I have just bought a new computer and downloaded latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I sync my ipod, it shows all the songs but won't play any of the songs in that library.  Also, I can't add new files.

    I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them.  Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library.  It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine.  I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing.  Hope someone can help me. Thanks

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Navbar font appears miniscule in some browsers

    Why does the Navbar font size appear miniscule in some browsers, but fine in others?
    My Website is paranormalstateillustrated.com
    I'm using iWeb '08 version 2.0.4, "Darkroom" theme.
    Navbar items appear miniscule in Safari version 3.1.2, but are "normal" when working in iWeb.
    Navbar items (font size) appear fine in Firefox version 3.0.3- BUT I've had someone else say the Navbar links are too small when they use Firefox. What could cause this difference?
    Should I just deselect the "Display navigation menu" in the Inspector, and build my own Navbar to help ensure all browsers display the same font/size?
    Thank you for your input!

    Roddy,
    Thank you for your quick reply. I found why the Navbar appears miniscule in my Safari browser, and why it looked small in someone else's Firefox browser. It has to do with the "Preferences" of each browser.
    SAFARI browser:
    Select "Preferences" from the Safari pull-down menu.
    Click on the "Appearance" tab.
    Select a "Standard font" size large enough so it doesn't appear too small. Times 14 works okay.
    FIREFOX browser:
    Select "Preferences" from Firefox pull-down menu.
    Select the "Content" tab.
    Pick a larger font size under the "Fonts & Colors" section of the "Content".
    That fixes the font size problem. It wasn't something "wrong" with iWeb.
    I do, however, like your explanation that viewer's are seeing paranormal!
    Thank you!
