Acro Reader embedded media blocked on internet?

I have a website, www.vincentasl.info, that consists of PDFs containing embedded media, mostly audio, some video. The way it was designed work - and always did until recently - was for each PDF to open in the browser (or at least show no evidence of being downloaded first), and for each embedded media clip to play when an icon for it is clicked (after the user gives permission via an Options dialog that opens the first time a media icon is clicked).
The worked for years, then suddenly when I checked it a couple of months ago, all the media had stopped working. The cursor would not even change to a pointing finger when hovering over one of the icons. The problem occurred only over the internet. All the icons in the same PDFs still opened the videos fine when I loaded the PDFs locally.
I started this post in the belief that this behavior was still current, but just checked again and found that now each PDF downloads to one's local PC, and the icons do work (after the user gives permission, of course).
This is an improvement, but I still strongly prefer for the PDFs not to download first.
Can someone please tell me (or refer me to the appropriate source to find out):
- Does this reflect a succession of changes in Adobe's security policy?
- How likely am I to find the rug pulled out from under me in this way again? (I'm devoting a huge number of man-hours to this effort that I don't want to be wasted!)
I should mention the following important fact: These videos are all 'legacy' MOVs. Using the built-in H.264 way of handling video does not work for my situation for two reasons: (1) In the new H.264 interface, the controls (play, pause, etc.) overwrite my sub-titles; and (2) My readers will need the ability to view the videos frame by frame for careful study of eye movements, etc.., preferably with the arrow keys. Both needs are met by the MOV video interface.

Appropriate due consideration for application and end-user security required the shift away for the methods use with "legacy" media and PDF.
Under the circumstances I'd not expect there to be any changes made by Adobe.
Be well...

Reader-8.1.1 and embedded media file

Hi,
I cannot get embedded MPEG files running in the new Reader for Linux. I have RealPlayer 10.0.9 installed on my system and the `realplay' starting script is in PATH.
When I click on the movie, a message box opens saying:
Acrobat has encountered an error while playing this media clip:
Without telling the actual error. If I click a second time, the same box opens again, but a small black pop-up opens as well, showing a progress bar and the message `Initializing RealNetworks'. But nothing happens after that.
Do I need to configure something else?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
Alexander

Alexander,
I'm having a similar problem, but with a Flash file.
I've verified that I can play the file from the
command line and from my KDE Desktop (SUSE Linux 10.1),
and so I'm pretty sure that the player is working.
But when I generate a PDF using LaTeX and your movie15
package AR8.1.1 redirects me to:
http://www.adobe.com/special/acrobat/nomediaplayer.html
If I look at the attachments pane, the file is
correctly identified as "application/x-shockwave-flash"
But under the filename, the phrase "Indeterminate" has
been added, which suggest that the something in the
annotation is not recognized (I'm using move15 2007/05/07).
Either that, or AR itself is broken.
I'm still in the process of dissecting the PDF to see
where the problem lies. But it would be helpful if
someone could post a url to an embedded media example
that is known to work with Linux AR8. That way I can
at least check that my setup is working, which will
be hakf the battle won.
Cheers,
James

Embedded Media does not play in Android reader

Anyone have any suggestions as to why embedded flv files do not play in android reader 10.1?

Viewing embedded media

I have tried on several different pages to view the embedded media. For some reason Safari is unable to play the video. Am i missing a plug in? or do I need to load seperate software?
Imac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Files are in mms which is derivation of Windows Media Player and is a RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) that refers back to Windows asf media files.
Unfortunately not all of these files work due to MS blocking the use of newer protocols on the Mac, Flip4Mac cannot play these videos in Safari or Camino (I've confirmed this one) and WMV for Mac is discontinued so it may be some time. Flip4Mac is currently backed by MS so you never know, we may get to see these files soon.........

Odd problems with reading DVD media [concluded]

There is an odd problem I've encountered...(I'm not sure if its a bug with Arch Linux or Linux in general).
Firstly, the details:
* I've updated the systems (using "extra", "current", and "community" respositories). So its the current one (0.80 "Voodoo"). I'm NOT using "Unstable" respository.
* I've already added the user to the "optical" and "storage" groups. So there's no problems in relations to permissions.
* My fstab entries for the CD and DVD drives are default (I didn't touch them)...That is, "iso9660" and "udf" respectively.
* My desktop environment is KDE 3.5.5...And I have changed the behaviour of the desktop icons such that DVD media, CD media, and USB devices will have an icon pop-up as soon as you plug them in.
* I have "hal" loaded in the DAEMONS of /etc/rc.conf
* I'm using 4 different Linux systems with the following DVD burners.
=> Pioneer DVR-108
=> Sony DW-Q120A
=> Hitachi-LG GCC-4240N (DVD-ROM/CD-burner combo)
* There are three Sempron 2800+ (Socket 754, 1.6Ghz) boxes and the last one is on an IBM R40 ThinkPad, and I know you can't read DVD-R media on that. But it should be able to read DVD+R media without issue.
* Two of the Semprons are running Arch, as well as the ThinkPad. The final Sempron box is running Ubuntu 6.06.1
* When I installed K3b I did: pacman -S k3b dvd+rw-tools
* All the DVD media is Verbatim DataLifePlus ones.
Here's what I've done...
I've burnt two DVD media (they're just video files from last year's Blender 2006 conference thing, so its legal stuff).
One is a DVD+R and the other is DVD-R media. Both were done on a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 box using Nero 6.6.1.4
What's the problem?
Well, KDE in the Arch Linux boxes doesn't recognise the media!...There is no DVD icon that automatically pops up on any of the Arch Linux boxes!
When I run dmesg on the Arch boxes, the only relevant info I get is:
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISOFS: changing to secondary root
Now if I re-insert these DVD media onto an Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS box...The DVD+R works perfectly! While the DVD-R does not.
When I run dmesg on this box, I get the following:

If I re-burn the data onto a DVD+RW, Arch and Ubuntu immediately sees it, and KDE (or Gnome in Ubuntu), will have a DVD icon popping up! I can view the video clips without issue!
Now here's the really odd part...
When I load up K3b on either Arch OR Ubuntu, they recognise all DVD media! (As in, they can read the media disc information!)...Tools => DiskInfo
If I click on the PIONEER - DVD-RW DVR-108 on the tree menu on the left side in K3b, (to view the contents of the DVD-R or DVD+R media), it can't read and pops up an error message informing about a read problem. It suggests I try dmesg|tail to see what's wrong.
When I do that, I get...
# dmesg|tail

I repeat the same procedure on DVD+RW, and it works perfectly!
Should I use another burning application instead of Nero on the Windows box?
Could it be the way I burn things?
(Some DVD+R and DVD-R are burnt with multisession while others aren't.)
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
What are your "workarounds" or fixes?

It *should* work...But they don't.
I tried this...
mount -t auto /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
I get this...
mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dvd,

I then do dmesg|tail
grow_buffers: requested out-of-range block 18446744073708569376 for device hdc
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
If I try this...
mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
I get this...
mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dvd,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I then do dmesg|tail

If I stick in a DVD-R that is burnt in one go without multisession, I get this in the dmesg
UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
UDF-fs INFO UDF 0.9.8.1 (2004/29/09) Mounting volume 'SW', timestamp 2006/11/07 19:37 (1000)
It reads this disc perfectly and KDE pops up a DVD icon.
I'm scratching my head as I'm not sure what is the problem.
Could it be hal or the way the DVD media was formatted?

Need to disable "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" with "Clone MAC address?"

Ok -- so I learned from tech support and this forum that the "Clone MAC address" option needs to be enabled when connecting to the Internet via a cable modem. In one of the forum posts (sorry lost track of which one), it said that in addition I need to disable "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" as well -- is this correct? If so what is the effect of this? Linksys documentation is not clear if this is absolutely necessary.
I think the comment is in this thread
http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=8600

Usually resetting you cable modem will allow you to use a router without cloning the MAC address. Reset modem, power down, plug router into the modem, power up the modem, power up the router and you should be good to go. The popular reason that I know of for unchecking "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" is when you plan to use P2P software like Azureus. Your computer becomes pingable and can be seen on the net.

No sound from embeded media in IE/Firef

My soundcard seems to be working fine as far as opening music files or videos etc. The only time I have a problem is when hearing embedded sound in either Internet Explorer or Firefox; Say for example I go to look at a video on video.google.com there's no sound, or if I go to a webpage with sound playing in the background it can't be heard.
I didn't have the problem with my previous card (SBLi've), and has only happened since I installed my new X-Fi. Since it happens with both IE and Firefox, I would imagine it's more than just a browser problem. Is there anything anyone can recommend to help solve this problem?
BTW, I just finished reinstalling and that didn't seem to do the trick.
Any help would be great appreciated.

FThanks for the quick reply! I have the X-Fi XtremeGamer, I unplugged the rear speakers and plugged headphones into that jack (I'm assuming that the rear speaker output is also know as line out 2), I had CMSS enabled and when I played a music file, I did hear it through the headphones.

Viewing embedded media in Safari

Okay, so can anyone tell me why you can't watch embedded media such as flash, or mpegs, in Safari on my IPOD Touch.
?

No way to play flash and most video formats exists on the touch. Pretty much all you can use is the formats defined in the system specs.

Firefox having issues with embedded media websites

I actually have two issue which maybe the same issue.
1.
Certain sites that I regular navigate to that have some sort of embedded media, the media does not display. As an example on the site http://odb.org/, in the top left corner is a player which displays in Chrome and IE and displayed in Firefox prior to 4.0 but now only displays a white box but no play button or volume control. Other websites with different media types are blank. I have a site with code that displays an embedded interactive speaking character and the portion of the screen is should display remains blank.
2.
Second issue, maybe related is while the Firefox 4.0 appears to be fast. On the same sites with embedded media or with complex pages (probably has stuff I don't know is there), the page attempts to load and you see the waiting for or transferring message in the bottom left corner. It takes a while and then if you attempt to click anywhere on the page you get the "not responding" message but the page eventually loads possible with missing content. Heck I have this problem accessing the Firefox support page.

Nope. Went through that list before and nothing. For kicks, I try it all again. I turned off every add-on but Shockwave and that didn't work either. Also, on the Adobe Flash test page the Flash portion of the screen does not display when I use FireFox but does when I use Chrome, so I couldn't check the whole hardware acceleration setting anyway. I had reboot issues when I was forced to upgrade to Firefox. I am wondering whether my download is somehow corrupt. And if you were wondering, Safe mode didn't work either. When's the next Firefox patch. funny thing is everything worked well in Firefox 3.6 and below, so either the update to 4.0 or the download process broke something.

Embedded media player controls (play, stop, pause, etc.) on multiple sites will not respond in FireFox 12.0 or will only respond after multiple clicks

I go to multiple websites that contain embedded media, such as billburr.com, tunein.com, and forums where members embed media from sites like YouTube. When attempting to access or use that media, using the available play, stop, pause, and volume control buttons, FireFox doesn't respond. For example, If I'm on billburr.com and attempt to play the podcast, I can click the play button over and over again and nothing will happen. The play button lights up like the site realizes I'm clicking it, but the media will not play, at least not the first time. I might get it to work after several fast clicks. However, if I need to pause it, I have the same trouble. These sites work perfectly in IE 9. I've already started FireFox in safe mode, but encountered the same problem. Has anyone seen this?

That is a Flash player on the billburr<i></i>.com site.
You can try to install the 32 bit Flash player for Firefox from this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Problems opening a PDF in Acro Reader 8 with BuddyAPI?

I apologize in advance for not having enough information to
properly diagnosis this situation, I’m encountering
considerable resistance from others in my company to go back to the
client and ask for additional details, but here’s the
situation:
We’ve got a project out in the field that opens PDF
files using BuddyAPI (code below) … it worked fine when the
client machines were all using Acro Reader 7.x Some time during the
year the client’s IT department upgraded everyone to Acro
Reader 8.x, now it works on some machines and not on others. I
don’t know how many machines it doesn’t work on, at
least one, probably two (vs 4000 copies of the project out in the
field). What do I mean by “doesn’t work”
…well, I’m not really sure … when I ask if the
client can open the PDFs directly, outside of our app, I get an
answer similar to “yeah, they must have tried that …
just post the question on the forum” … I also
don’t know if an error is generated, I’m told simply
the PDFs don’t open, although if an error were generated I
would think someone would mention it. Sorry to vent, I know
it’s not much to work with, but if someone else has a similar
problem I’d love to know about it.
BTW: I’ve got 3 machines here in the office all with
Acro Reader 8, works fine on all of them.

Hi all,
I just posted this in anotehr thread dealing with the same
issue.
I have emailed Gary who develops the Buddy API Xtra and he
did some
testing and this is what he reported.
It seems that when Adobe install Reader 8.0, they don't
implement an
'Open' association, but a 'Read' one. If you right click on a
.pdf file
you will see that the actions available don't include Open.
Now, this
should only affect people using an older version of Buddy,
that was
something changed for Acrobat 7 and .fdf files, so that if
there wasn't
a Open action, it used the default one instead. So the best
option is to
use the current version of Buddy. But to make it work with
programs
still older buddy that can't be changed, it should be
possible to write
a .reg script or updater to add the Open command to the list
of actions,
then older version of buddy will work. You can use this
script in a
projector to update the registry so that pdf files will open.
So that
could be used in a updater projector.
on setAcroOpenReg
str = baReadRegString(
"Applications\AcroRD32.exe\shell\Read\command",
"", "", "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" )
if length( str ) > 0 then
baWriteRegString(
"Applications\AcroRD32.exe\shell\Open\command",
"", str, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" )
end if
end
Hope that helps.

Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater

Hello,
I have a user who has reported Adobe Reader was not installed on his PC, which we complete via GPO as default for all our computers, and has never been an issue (WinXP and Win7 (x64) ). When attempting to install the reader manually, I received "Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater" This is a Win7 box. It comes with IE 8! Can anyone point me to the registry path the installer is looking for to determine the version of IE? I've checked HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer and verified both "Version" and "W2kVersion" read 8.0.7601.17514.
I realize Reader X is available. We're not ready to deploy it yet. So any suggestion other than simply "install Reader X" is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time.

I know I'm considerably late to the reply here, but I had the same issue with a Reader X install done via GPO. This may be relavent info for the future, and may work for Reader 9 as well
I read that someone had tried running the command line uninstall for an older version of reader, as it seemed to have not been removed completely. I threw together a batch file to attempt to remove all the reader installs we had available along with the font packs. Some of the font packs won't remove unless reader is present, so it re-installs the latest reader, removes the font packs again (to get whatever it missed) then reloads the font packs.
So far this approach is 1 for 1. Hopefully it helps out if you still need it.

Acro Reader hallucinates signature fields

I have a PDF just prepared with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended that should have no signature fields in it, and indeed going to Add or Edit Signature fields tells me I have none. Nor does Acro Reader 11.0.0 on my main 64-bit Win 7 computer see any. However, Acro Reader 11.0.3 on my other 64-bit Win 7 PC opens the PDF with a big green bar at the top claiming "Signature Fields detected". Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong and how to correct it.
Thanks for your help.

Adobe think it's a real neat idea to see a file might need signing and tell the user. The clever idea they had was to see if the word "sign" appears in the file. I hope you'll think this is as neat as the programmers at Adobe, but I have my doubts.

ORA-27047: unable to read the header block of file

My Windows 2003 crashed which was running Oracle XE.
I installed Oracle XE on Windows XP on another machine.
I coped my D:\oracle\XE10g\oradata folder of Win2003 to the same location in WinXP machine.
When I start the database in WinXP using SQLPLUS i get the following message

Try to install win 2003 server software, do the fresh installation of oracle software, now copy the datafiles and controlfiles to same locations as you did on winxp.
get back to us, if still not out of the woods. I still doubt that a simple restore would do the trick, since you doing it across different platforms, might be I can be wrong, but this is what I personally feel, you not able to start the database on winxp.
