Safari does not play video off web pages

When ever I try to view a .mov, or mpeg, the viewer freezes on the first image, but the audio track continues to play. The movies play fine on other computers using QTP and Safari. Funny thing, is that in Safari, the movies do not play, yet they play fine on other computers, using Safari (1.3.2). The videos play fine on my computer, though only in Firefox. They play fine in iTunes, also.
So, why is this happening? Quicktime app not playing movies, now Safari not playing movies from websites (movies I have made)? There has to be a connection.
I have set up another user, and the problem still exists. I have tried reinstalling Quicktime, but problem still exists.

Good you isolated the problem.
I suggest removing the Quicktime components from your system (leave the codecs in the /Library/Quicktime folder alone), including the Quicktime Player in the applications folder and plug-ins from the Internet Plug-ins Folder. Leave the preference file alone as it contains your QT Pro registration info. Then reinstall QT. "repair permissions" after the install.

Mobile Safari does not play videos

http://naartjie.nanoson.com/movie.html
Three videos on a simple HTML page[/URL] Check HTML source yourself - it's trivial!
First video about Subaru plays well in Mobile Safari.
About second Mobile Safari says, that it can't download video file! About third it says, that video can't be played.
First I thought that video format is wrong, but! If all that 3 videos send via email to iPhone or upload to iDisk and use iDisk.app, all they can played without any errors! So what is my mistake? Are there any more strict limitations on video in HTML for Mobile Safari?

K T, I'm not sure what you're talking about, but since this WORKED on the iPad but DID NOT work on ANY other version of Safari (including the iPhone/iPod version), I don't think that could possibly be the issue. Now, what it COULD be is that I processed these videos on an old PowerMac with Final Cut Studio 1 (so Compressor 2, not Compressor 3) . . . but I thought the H.264 standard has been unchanged for seven years, right? If so, I don't see how that could be it either. But I don't know much about this stuff.
Would compressing the file for "streaming" rather than "download" on an older version of Compressor do anything to the resulting file that would somehow make it incompatible with Safari? And maybe they just tweaked the **** out of the iPad for the big launch and caught that bug, but haven't fixed it on other platforms yet? Like I said, I don't know much about this stuff, but that's the only thing I can think of that made the videos I processed, uploaded, and tested any different than the videos that WORK on all versions of Safari.
To clarify, all the videos I have processed myself ONLY work on the iPad. Videos I download from the Internet, then upload and test with the exact same code, work on all up-to-date versions of Safari (and Chrome too).

Safari does not play movie stream

Does anyone have any idea why Safari does not play the movies on the web page
http://www.3sat.de/delta/
You can find them under "Web-TV" (you have to click a little bit until a small window opens which has a button called "video starten" at the bottom right).
I believe the movies are reaplayer video streams.
Needless to say that the movies work just fine in Firefox ...
Any ideas, hints, pointers will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Hello Gabriel,
The video does play for me in a popup window via realplayer.
it also has the option to open in WMP.
Web TV
It will not play in realplayer itself, when i click for it to play in real Player this
Server alert

Safari is also picky about code, this one is not the poorest & it does work for me so it seems something is interfering in your user account or computer,.
Have you tried the site in a test account if not that would be telling.
Let us know if it works there.

Failing that, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for inspection: http://nokia.com/support

Safari incredibly slow and does not play videos

Hi - I am using Safari 8.0.3 on Yosemite 10.10.2. Most of web pages load incredibly slowly. The blue bar stops almost at 1/3.
I tried "Empty Caches" option after reading in the forum .. but it did not help improve the speed.
Now Safari even has stopped playing the your tube video. It loads a black box where the video frame display should be.
Any help in resolving these issues is highly appreciated.
PS - I am not sure why apple does not anything about safari... I have read so many posts about safari being slow.
Thanks is advance

Safari Does Not Play QuickTime/.mpg Video, Only Audio

Quicktime video not playing in safari. Checked new user, issue persists, it's a system wide issue. All the settings are right. Worked before. Still works in Firefox and other browsers. Repaired permissions. Even video on the Apple site does not work. Flash still works, windows media content still works via Flip4Mac. I was just wondering if anyone discovered an easy fix for this issue. I don't feel like doing the archive and install (preserving) or re-imaging it. Everything is up to date except for the security update and itunes. Just stopped working tonight though, not right after I did the last updates. As I said. I know the traditional way to attack this, and even a couple time consuming non traditional ways. What I am looking for here is the quick fix (if there is one). Thanks.

Well, since we are all using different versions of Safari but the same version of QT, I headed over to the QT forum and found this - which seems to work for me.
I just dragged the file to the desktop, tho.
"I removed the QuickTime Plugin.webplugin.
Mac HD > Library > Internet Plug-Ins
1. Drag QuickTime Plugin.webplugin to the trash.
2. Relaunch Safari and the QuickTime video that was not playing previously.
3. The video portion should now work."

Safari does not play media

When i go to a site that needs real player or Windows media to play safari sends me a message saying that i need a media player to watch video. I have the media players and it worked perfectly 2 days ago and the whole morning before it decided to flash this notice on it's screen. It seems to have trouble espicially with Atomfilms.com which was never ever the case. i can use internet explorer just fine. Netscape however has the same problem wheni try to view a movie. Any suggestions would be helpful.

John, Michael,
I found a browser plugin 'conflict' on two Macs. An "older" plugin located in the /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory prevented certain Java scripts from executing. Hopefully this will correct your issues as well.
Affected browsers Safari and Firefox (v1.0.7). . .
Sites like AtomFilms.com, on clicking a movie such as "Hero" will always display a web page indicating a media player application is required to view the film with install selections for "Windows Media Player for Mac" or "Real Player 10 for Mac". I already have both of these apps installed on my Mac OS 10.3.9 systems.
BTW, and this actually gave me a clue, MS Internet Explorer (v 5.2.3) will always function properly and play the selected AtomFilms.com film feature choice! Only Safari and Firefox will not load the proper plug-in and play the film selection.
I did quite a bit of troubleshooting, working from Java error log files in Console. It eventually came down to a single plugin- Java Applet.plugin "Get Info" displays the plug-in version v1.2.0 (for Java 1.3.1), created August 3, 2004. Dragging this file to the Desktop out of the folder
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/Java Applet.plugin
logging out then logging back in to my user account corrected the problem on both Mac OS 10.3.9 systems. This plug-in file is likely to be found if you have performed several Software Updates since Panther 10.3.5.
Please note that Firefox will require these two plug-in files
MRJPlugin.plugin
JavaEmbeddingPlugin.bundle
preferably version 0.9.5 of each for Java to properly function with that browser. Go to the Sourceforge.net webpage for Project: Java Embedding Plugin, for the most recent plug-in installer download:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?groupid=107955&packageid=116499
Hope this helps fix your media player problem!

Safari does not cache videos

Every time I visit a page with movies (quicktime even), Safari reloads the video as if there is no cache. If I use Firefox it does not need to reload the video, it just automatically plays the video from the cache. If I watch Apple Trailers or visit my own .mac website where I have uploaded my iWeb Quicktime films, I have to re-download movies every time I visit the page. I'm not pressing reload, I do have a 400MB cache set in Quicktime pro, I have the same problem on my iMac and my MacBook Pro, and like I said, Firefox does not have this issue. My Quicktime Pro Browser preferences are set to "play movies automatically" and "save movies in disk cache". I am using Safari 3.0.4. I have tried emptying the cache and starting over but I never get a movie to play that I've just viewed without waiting for it to load again. I am in China at the moment, but that shouldn't affect anything since Firefox is caching my movies.
Any ideas to solve this?

I wish I had the answer for you, because I posted a similar complaint weeks ago. Safari doesn't seem to cache images either. If I go to a page that's dynamically generated, then click a link on it, then use the back button, the original page reloads with all new content, instead of just going back to what was there before. It's very annoying.

Safari does not display videos anymore!

I am using Safari 6.0.1 and Mountain Lion (everything up to date) on a brand new macbook pro retina display.
I cannot watch videos from most websites, including youtube. Why?
This was working fine on my previous laptop under snow leopard. Any first price PC is able to play videos straight out of the box but the high end super expensive Apple laptop cannot. What a joke! This is so frustrating.
Can anyone please help me get it woring and explain why with all the money they make Apple cannot make new softwares that work straight out of the box.
Cheers.

YouTube videos not playing?
1. Install Adobe Flash Player.

2. Are Plug-ins Enabled?
    Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Web Content:
    Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box for
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".

Safari will not finish loading some web pages

I just bought a new macbook pro. As soon as I got it I started installing programs I use (photoshop, lightroom, Chrome, Firefox, etc). It seemed that from the beginning Safari didn't work properly, but in reading more about my problem maybe it's because I have downloaded programs that changed Safari.
Some web pages work fine, but some don't. For instance, even the Apple.com site won't load all the way in Safari. Links or images will be missing. I tried to fill out a form and when I got to the bottom of the page the "submit" button was missing and I couldn't submit the form. I try the same page in Chrome and it works just fine. Firefox is even worse at loading the website though.
I've been trying to read other people's questions to figure it out but no one seems to have the exact same problem. I tried changing the DNS and reinstalling Safari and it made no difference. Then I read some advice from Linc Davis to create a guest user. I tried loading Apple.com in Safari under the guest user and it worked perfect. Then I tried booting in safe mode as Linc Davis suggested others do and I still had the same problem with Safari, no improvement. At least I think I was in safe mode. I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on and heard the chime I held down the shift key. The grey apple screen came up with the gear turning, but when it came to the log in screen it didn't say "safe mode." Is there any indication to tell you you are indeed in safe mode?
Any way I restarted normally and can't figure out how to fix Safari. Any suggestions? Linc Davis?

To anyone who has this same question, I had to find the answer on my own and thought I would post it for you. I was kind of annoyed that Apple wouldn't even try to help me. After searching forever on Apple's support pages I finally did a google search and went to some outside sources to find the answer. I narrowed down that the problem Safari was having was not being able to load images on any website.
Here was the solution:
I opened Finder
Opened the Go menu and held down the option key to open the hidden Library folder
Opened Preferences
Then I deleted all the com.apple.Safari files (there were 4)
Ta Dah! Safari instantly works again. Hope this can help someone else out in my predicament.
