11.5 Debug player won't show in Chrome plugins

I have been using the approved method of enabling the debug player in Chrome and this has been working fine for a long time. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-google-chrome.html
However, I can't get Chrome to recognize the 11.5 debug player. I think it has something to do with it installing a 64-bit DLL on Windows 7 64-bit. What should I do to debug in Chrome?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem in Chrome on Mac. Debug player works in all other browsers but not in Chrome. My chrome://plugins lists:

thanks!

Seemed to work just fine when I tested the code (with my .swf). Tested in Chrome, FF, IE, Safari.
Does your Chrome have the Flash plugin?
But a couple of things..
quotes missing here:
margin= 0, auto;>
Seems like you are trying to scale to exact fit?
#flashContent { width:100%; height:100%; }
<param name="scale" value="exactfit" />
Won't work with pixel dimensions for the .swf:
width="850" height="567"
and <center> tag... set W/H params to 100% and remove <center> if you want to scale to exact fit 100% W and H
Best of luck!

Flash Player won't enable in chrome

I have a HP 7 tablet that runs on the android operating system. Sometimes it says that flash player is not supported by my Android. However, I checked on adobe and it says that flash player is already pre-installed and I just need to enable it. So I tried typing chrome:plugins into the browser but each time I do it says this:
This webpage is not available
The webpage at chrome://plugins/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Error 300 (net::ERR_INVALID_URL): Unknown error.
If anyone can offer a solution I'd gladly appreciate it. Thank you

Chrome://plugins is... wait for it... a local page. It's in your application.
If Chrome can't open it. you NEED to uninstall Chrome completely and reinstall it, because it's broken.
Additionally, there is no more Flash Player for Android. Hasn't been since June of 2012. If you're running and older Android device with version 1, 2, or 3, you can still get a Flash Player for it, and even for some of the earliest Android 4 builds here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
However, if you're running a device less than 20 months old, you'd have to "sideload" it, which is neither recommended nor supported by Adobe or Android, and in some cases it may void your warranty.
Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

Divx web player won't show me any player controls.

I recently reinstalled divx on my macbook and now for some reason when i am streaming a divx video in safari there are no player controls. The video plays fine and when i double click, it was go to fullscreen. But it doesnt pause even when i push space bar. Any suggestions?

Having the same problem with some but not all of my 15" and 17" core I5 and I7 macbook pros. All are based on the same image. The afflicted ones can run DVD Player with the 32bit kernel but not with the 64bit kernel. applejack seemed to fix two out of three of them, but on at least one of those the problem returned. When it doesn't work, the DVD Player is running and I can hear the audio, but the video is black.

Unity player won't use discrete graphics--plugin-container?

I'm trying to play a Unity game in Firefox--honestly because Chrome doesn't support them anymore. My computer is a Lenovo Y50 with an 860M graphics card running Optimus. I've set Firefox to use the discrete graphics card, but Unity games refuse to utilize it--if they are, it's extremely slow. I tried making the plugin container use the discrete graphics automatically but the option is greyed-out for some reason. Any ideas?

Yes there are some ideas;
It looks like they did investigate this a while ago [https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/486939/optimus-and-unity-player/?offset=7]
However if its greyed out, it might be a blocked driver. Are your drivers up to date in Firefox? [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Why won't show buttons only on this PC player?

Both me and a friend of mine have just made (separately) a few menus for one client...the menus I've done all use a simple one layer transparent png file (done in photoshop) of arrows next to each video which SHOULD highlight as you roll over the text...My friend also did a few menus (on his mac) but used psd files which have buttons on separate layers as well as a text highlight when rolled over...
Problem is while these burned DVD's with our menus play fine on macs and even set top players, even on a player called Interplay on a PC, both his and my menus will not HIGHLIGHT on Windows Media Player - ie, the arrows on my png file won't show up at all ever, on Windows player, even latest version. You still get the mouse turning into a hand/finger when you roll over a button, but there is never any icon/arrow showing up as it should, next to the text one rolls over - do you have to use something other than psd or png for Windows Media Player, or what is a fix for this Windows thing, what advice can you give - client (and us) not happy. They say it MUST be able to play correctly on Windows Media Player (as it's the most pervasive).
We are both using DVD SP 4.2.1.
Thanks

Actually the problem is Windows Media Player. WMP is well know for being the buggiest DVD player around. All the PC hardware manufacturers are well aware of how buggy WMP is so they all include a more reliable program for playing DVDs. Typically PowerDVD or WinDVD. HP installs WinDVD on every PC that has a DVD drive because they know how unreliable WMP is. I think Dell installs PowerDVD. If you check with your client you will find that they have something more reliable than WMP already installed on their computer. Use that.

Windows media player files will not play. I downloaded the plug in but does not show up under plugins. Why won't it load?

Whenever I try to play a wmv file through firefox it will not load. It was not a problem a few weeks ago. Under plugins it is saying I do not have windows media player. So I tried downloading it using the troubleshooting directions from firefox. But it still will not show up under plugins. Any help would be much appreciated.

'''np-mswmp''' in your Installed Plugins listing ''(in '''More system details''' to the right of your posting)'' is the Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox.

Sorry if it's something really basic...I'm a noob to web design.
Thanks!

Don't use reserved words in JS
var event = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("events.xml", "catalog/event", {sortOnLoad: "date", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending"});
event is such a reserved word. If you change this to event1 then all is well.
I hope this helps.

10.4.4 CD mount gone, but DVD and VLC work, can burn a disk, but won't show

Super drive seemed to work after 10.4.4 and iTunes upgrades for several days until yesterday when cds, either commercial, RW or burned in iTunes refuse to mount. DVD works fine, and I can burn CD's in iTunes, they just won't show up on this G5. Inserting a cd does not trigger itunes or CDDB lookup. Only thing that may be different is that I used a Lexar Jump Drive Secure recently to transfer some files. Seemed to stop working after that. I can access the drive through Toast and Disk Utility by the way, and inserting a DVD works just fine to launch DVD player. There is no change in drive preference settings that I can find.
Any suggestions? Haven't yet tried Archive and Install just in case there's something obvious with this upgrade. If the Lexar installs any drivers, I'm not sure how to uninstall them. Seems as though there could be an incompatibility there. This drive does install a password program that has worked in the past...
There were some issues shared by many Mac users when first going to Tiger with poor reads in the Superdrive...these seemed resolved up until now...
I use this G5 for audio editing for two radio shows, so I sure need to get the cd function back...
Thanks!
Dual G5 2.0 GHZ 2 GB Ram Mac OS X (10.3.7)
Dual G5 2.0 GHZ 2 GB Ram Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Problem solved. Proven to be 10.4.4 upgrade. Attempted archive and install, but computer would not boot from CD (though Mac Install disk DID mount properly, but restart would not boot). Tried swapping to another DVD drive, same problems so NOT hardware, NOT firmware as suspected by Apple Care support.
But since DVD's appeared to mount properly, tried Mac DVD install disk...worked perfectly, and now Audio cd's mount fine with either DVD drive.
Will try upgrading again to see if problem is reproduced or if it was a corrupted initial install...

How can I install the Flash Debug Player in Internet Explorer 10?

I just downloaded the Flash Debug Player 11.4.402.287 from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_ax_debug.exe - however, trying to install it merely shows a message box saying
The installation encountered errors: Your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser includes the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player built-in. Windows Update will inform you when new versions of the Flash Player are available.
I'm using Internet Explorer 10.0.9200.16384 on Windows 8. A bit of Google research suggested that IE10 has a Flash player built-in (similiar to what Google Chrome has) so I looked for a way to disable the player. It seems that this is indeed possible by clicking the Cogwheel icon in the IE10 toolbar and then selecting 'Manage Add-ons'. The dialog which shows up shows a 'Shockwave Flash Object' entry. However, even with the built-in Flash player disabled, the Flash Debug Player installer keeps giving the same message.
Does anybody knwo how I can install the Flash Debug Player in IE10?

I do not know, but check if there is anything useful in http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flas h_player_windows8_admin_guide.pdf

HI,
Did you ever figure out how to get them back? The same thing happened to me yesterday. I was able to open the file in VLC media player (you can download this app), but the file had been corrupted. It was only the last clip I had recorded, all the others were lost. Even the clip that will play is messed up

Flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 any hints?

flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 . I can download but the install stops at 50%. I have allowed plug ins.
any hints?

jabenn, I believe this to be caused by an issue with the Flash Player Install Manager, which Adobe is aware of.
As a first step, you could try removing it from the folder Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Player. If you see a folder in that location entitled "Flash Player Install Manager", you need to trash it (you will need to enter and Admin password to authorise that step). This is recommended by Adobe. Now try again.
If that still fails, you can either follow the full Uninstall / Re-install process set out here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1267823 ... or use my three-step workaround to save time, hassle and restarting. This starts at the scenario described in your initial post (i.e. a stalled installation):
Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package within the Install Manager app and run the installation from Finder
Hope this helps. Enjoy.
--- Those steps in detail:
1. Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Press these three keys together: Cmd + Option (or Alt) + esc
Select Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the popup window titled "Force Quit Applications"
Hit return or click the button labelled "Force Quit"
2. Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities folder or find it with Spotlight)
On the left hand side, your attached drives and mounted volumes are listed above a horizontal line. Below that line you should see one or more disk images (named e.g. something.dmg). These are recently accessed disk images - including one containing the adobe updater.
At or near the bottom of that list you should see something called decryptedFile.dmg
Under that you might see a (greyed out) volume image called Flash Player
Double click decryptedFile.dmg (or the Flash Player volume if you can see it - it makes no difference).
This should mount a volume titled "Flash Player" and automatically open a finder window showing the contents.
The volume "Flash Player" will show up in your Finder sidebar and on your desktop (unless you've chosen not to show External Disks in Finder preferences)
3. Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package and run the installation from Finder
You should by now have a Finder window open showing the contents of the volume "Flash Player". If not, open a new Finder window and click on Flash Player in the sidebar. The sole contents are an app called Install Adobe Flash Player.
Right click the item "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu that appears.
This opens a new window showing a folder called "Contents". Open it by double clicking to reveal the contents including a folder called "Resources".
Locate and open the folder "Resources" and look for a file called Adobe Flash Player ("Adobe Flash Player.pkg")
This is the Installer Package for the update. Double Click it.
Don't be put off by the words "Welcome to the Adobe Flash Player Installer" - this is not the Adobe Flash Install Manager (the one that failed you earlier) this is Apple's "Installer" app.
Follow the steps to the end then eject the volume Flash Player in the normal way (e.g. Finder sidebar)
Open the Flash Player control panel to check the current version has now been updated.
Don't be put off by "PPAPI Plug-in is not installed" - you can ignore it.
Some steps may go differently if you are running a different version of Mac OS X ( I use 10.6.8 and wrote my guide accordingly).

How to test with the standard Flash player, rather than debug player

Folks,
I am interested in running my flexunit 4 tests against the standard flash player, rather than the debug player that comes with the SDK. Is this possible?
BTW, I am working on Windows for now.
I installed both the flash ActiveX control for IE, and the standard flash plugin for Firefox. I then associated the SWF file extension with Firefox using the "Open With" dialog. I had to choose a single program, and the browser appeared to be my only choice, as I could not find any sort of "FlashPlayer10.exe" to associate with. I ran my ant script that calls <flexunit>, and it kind of works. It launches Firefox, runs the tests, and the results get piped back, but Firefox is not shut down. Yep, Firefox stays open after the tests complete. I seem to recall that the debug flash player would close itself after being opened by <flexunit>. I tried using IE, and the same result occurs: the browser is not shutdown after the tests complete. This behavior makes for an unacceptable test setup, as eventually the system memory on the machine will be exhausted as more and more browsers are opened and not closed.
Questions/options:
1) Is there a standard flash player "executable" somewhere on my system that I can associate the SWF files with (that would hopefully shut itself down)?
2) Second choice, is there a way to get the browser to close after <flexunit> completes?
3) or am I stuck using the debug player? I am concerned that testing management at my company might not like the fact that we are testing against a debug player, rather than the standard one that users will likely be using. If flexunit 4 CI only supports the debug player, is there something I can say to appease management?
Thanks for any help...

@trevorbutler - Here are my 2 cents, but the group may have a different perspectives for your questions.
Currently, we suggest the use of the CIListener class as a FU4 listener for use when building your test SWF to run via the FU4 Ant task. This class (http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexunit/branches/4.x/FlexUnit4CIListener/src/o rg/flexunit/listeners/CIListener.as) uses the fscommand() function to send a message to its host environment to exit (i.e. - fscommand("quit")). This command is only recognized by the Flash projector and stand-alone players, which are thin wrappers around the Flash Player so that it may be executed as its own process in the OS. Based on the setup you are describing, the behavior you're seeing should be expected since the browser is the host environment for the Flash Player. When the browser recieves the resulting message of the fscommand("quit") call nothing will happen since the browser doesn't support this command. If you use the Flash projector or stand-alone players however, they will exit when recieving the results of this command. The projector/stand-alone players come in two flavors, release and debug. Release will act very closely to the typical plugin installed in the web browser (e.g. - swallows errors, no debug support, etc) whereas debug will allow you to write log files to the system, show error messages, etc. Currently the debug stand-alones are available on Windows, Mac, Linux and the release stand-alone is only available on Linux.
To address your questions:
1. If you've installed the Flash Player browser plugin, there is no way that I know of to launch the player as its own process. I've only had success using the projector/stand-alone player (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html).
2. The Flash Player does have the ability to send javascript to the browser to ask it to close the current window, but most modern browser will prompt the user to confirm they'd like to close the window if its the only open window. Additionally, taking this approach on Mac, the browser process would remain active until an explicit call is made to the host OS to shut down the browser process. The Ant task could be enhanced to use the browser to launch the Flash Player, but that is not currently on our checklist of features to support. If it's something you'd be interested in contributing, let me know and I can work with you on this.
3. For the time being the FlexUnit4 Ant task only supports the stand-alone Flash Player (and adl soon), which for Windows only comes in the debug flavor. The only thing I've run into with the stand-alone player is that ExternalInterface reports that its enabled, but since the host environment is not the browser, javascript calls made via this class will fail, consequently causing tests to fail. I haven't tried anything with shared objects or flashvars but my assumption is that they should work correctly, but anything that depends on the browser has the potential not to.
As far as your testing management goes, I would discuss with them the problem context FlexUnit4 hopes to solve. The framework is intended to produce unit and integration tests. Functional testing is not withing the scope of the library. Although, it's technically feasible to write integration tests which will exercise components similarly to a functional test, tools such as FlexMonkey, Selenium Flex, QTP, etc are much better geared towards this problem domain. Test recording and playback, using these tools, is typically done using the FP browser plugin and is much easier to use by most QA and testing staff. At the end of the day, as we're testing our code using FlexUnit at a smaller granularity than that of which the user interacts with in our application. To reliably test the applicaiton as the user would interact with it requires additional tooling and a different type of testing.
Like I said, just my take, maybe some of the other guys can help as well.

Flash Player won't run. Windows 7, IE9, Firefox 16.01

Flash Player won't run. Windows 7, IE9, Firefox 16.01. I use the flash player uninstaller, make sure there are no flash player sub-folders reinstall current version, says installed .. no "video" no box, no info. redone several times both in Firefox and IE

Did you install both the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and plugin (for Firefox)? And both browsers show the same problem?
On Internet Explorer
is Shockwave Flash object enabled (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448)?
is ActiveX Filtering disabled (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968)?

Flash Player won't play videos in Chrome

Hello,
I installed FlashPlayer 17.0 and when I load a video, I get a black screen (a right-click shows "animation not loaded"). I submitted a bug in the database but it hasn't been checked. My graphic card drivers are up to date and I precise that I could watch Flash Player videos before. What could be the cause of this?
Thanks,
Mark

OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Browser: Chrome (latest version)
Flash Player: 17 (latest version)
For instance, when I load the following page, the video won't show:
Ce cycliste au bord du précipice va vous faire froid dans le dos... Le Zapping web !
There isn't any error message as I explained in my message above.
