Adobe/Flash DRM Guru?

Who does the industry prefer to use as a 3rd party Adobe Media Player DRM video provider? A company or individual that has an expertise in video DRM using flash would be perfect. I need a solution that doesn't require a user to download a 3rd party app or anything other then Adobe Media Player. I am open to a single developer or a firm.

I need some Guru too

Adobe Flash Player DRM errors out, 3307 InternalFailure

OS: Windows 7 64 Bit
The problem:
I can't get DRM in Adobe Flash to work. Using the player here:

with this movie:
http://drmtest2.adobe.com:8080/Content/anonymous.f4v

Bad Adobe Flash Access DRM module

I have been streaming videos and movies I have purchased without problems until yesterday when Amazon wouldn't load the video and suggest upgrading Flash Player.
I have OS X 10.5.8, so Flash Player 10.3.183.29 is the most up-to-date version my computer can have.
I went to Adobe site and followed instructions for removing the bad Adobe Flash Access DRM module, deployed in 2011. Replaced it with the corrected DRM module. When I ran the test for protected content through the Adobe demo video player, no video played and received message: Error #3343. IV check failed.
What is error #3343? How can this be resolved?
Would greatly appreciate anyone's help on this.
Thanks.

Moving this discussion to the Using Flash Player forum.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 is not working

Hallo,
My problem is that everything that uses flash player, does not work at the moment and says that I need the latest version. (I cannot see a video on you tube for example.)
I downloaded AFP 10.1 several times (install-uninstall-reboot several times), I even checked the "Add-remove programms" and the "Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X" is there, but when I get to see a youtube video it says again to get the latest version. Each install was successful, but it still doesn't work.
Here's some information about my computer in case of a need :
Windows XP Professional
Internet Explorer 8
Norton 360
and I also have some issues with pop-ups (I don't know if this is related)
Note that:Today I was asked to update the AFP on the firefox and I did and until now it works perfectly.
(I use both firefox and internet explorer)
If anyone could help me , I would be very grateful...

Hi Eidnolb,be careful, long post following :
Yes of course I kept MBAM on my desktop as a shortcut (was actually installed in C:\Program files) and it became my new friend .
I am so suspicious now on everything that I am scanning my pc everyday!!
I saw the scanning works without disabling Norton components, but you still think I have to do it , right?
As for the Java, ok with the update.Now I have Java 6 Update 21.

In Firefox I actually got a message that 2 new add-ons have installed: Java Console 6.0.21 and Java Quick starter 1.0

Adobe Flash Player 10 when installed closes the whole computer as soon as it is selected to 'play' a video clip from U Tube or any other source, I have uninstalled it and the problem goes away but I cannot play the clip.any answers?

Adobe Flash Player 10, when installed, closes the whole computer when it is used to play any clip from U Tube or other source. I uninstalled it and there was no further trouble but, of course, I cannot view the clip. If I reinstall it the same problem persists. I have contacted my 'computer guru' but his comment is that many of his clients have the same problem but it appears to be a problem with Adobe however many other friends have put in the version 10 Flash Player and have no problems. I do not appear to have any other problems with the computer such as viruses etc and it is scanned very day for such items. I would appreciate any advice you can give as it is very annoying, thanks, RAB

Me too!
On both IE8 and Firefox. Win 7 32 bit on IBM T42 - 1GB ram.
Old laptop I know but the 10.1.x.x Flash Players worked just fine. Problem started with 10.2.152.26 flash player.
Now BBC TV live and iPlayer work just fine, however YouTube does not - audio but no video. Just a black rectangle where the video should be.
Right click to get the menu and "settings" is greyed out. However select the pop-out option and the video plays. Right click on the pop-out and "settings" is available. So deselect "enable hardware acceleration", close the pop-out and refresh the window (F5) and now YouTube videos play. Switch hardware acceleration back on and now they don't.
This video works fine with hardware acceleration enabled. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/video/h264/
These also work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
Something broken in 10.2, I think.

Help with removing the Flash DRM module

Hi,
To be able to play DRM content, Flash requires a separate DRM module that is not bundled with the Adobe Flash installer, this is downloaded separatly upon first playback of DRM content. We've successfully implemented this flow. But we now need to be able to test it in a prober way. It seems like this module is not uninstalled when uinstalling Adobe Flash. Can anyone give us instructions on how to remove this module to be able to test this flow?

I also had to do this, but I had different results and wanted to share what I found.
On different operating systems, I found a Flash Player folder containing a NativeCache folder in similar places:
Windows XP/Vista/7: %APPDATA%\Adobe\Flash Player\NativeCache
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/NativeCache
Linux: ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/NativeCache
I found that inside this directory there was at least one randomly named directory which contained at least one randomly named directory which contained a platform-specific 'adobecp' module. It would seem some of these random directory structures correspond to flash player versions.
Simply removing the "NativeCache" directory was enough to trigger a re-download of the DRM module.
I'm not sure why anyone else found a NativeModule directory or why I didn't find that directory on any of my systems. Also I'm not sure what "Roaming" means, but it is probably related to roaming profiles and ActiveDirectory.
Your mileage may vary.

I cannot download the new adobe flash player on my mac OSX 10.5

I have always been able to watch videos on line. Now on msnbc it says I have to download the new Adobe Flash player in order to watch the videos. When I try to download it won't do it.

Call Apple and file a formal complaint, it's Apple that is not supplying security or patches to 10.5 users and expects everyone to be computer guru's.
16.5% of Mac users are on 10.5 and Apple just denies security and stability updates to force you to upgrade your OS or your hardware prematurely.
There is a massive botnet of over 600,000 Mac's and the prime location is on 10.5 Intel Mac's which they refuse to fix.
Appe's "solution" is for you to upgrade your operating system to 10.6 or even 10.7 (this will make your machine slow and won't run a lot of your software, another "problem")
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
IMO 10.6 would be best for you, the least trouble, but you bought a Mac for it to "just work" as your not "into" computers, your just a regular user like most Apple's customers.
So call Apple and complain, then buy the 10.6.3 retail disk and stick it into your machine and upgrade and cross your fingers and update to 10.6.8.
Backup your persona data off the machine first to a storage drive and disconnect.
 Most commonly used backup methods explained
Once your on 10.6.3 use software update to get to 10.6.8, then you can install Flash.

Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing in Google Chrome

I am using Google Chrome and every time I open the browser Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing. I have Windows 7. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hello,
Just chiming in to say that I am experiencing the same issues.
using Win 7, Firefox 19.0, Flash 11.6.602.168
Tried the DRM fix,
Tried uninstalling Firefox and Flash, restarting Win 7, reinstalling Firefox and Flash
Tried reinstalling display and my NVidia drivers.
Still getting "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
Also having problems on Chrome.
Some troubleshooting threads suggest to go to chrome://plugins and disable the chrome flash player.
When i disable the chrome flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, I get the "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
When i disable the system flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, the video plays but 'stutters.' The audio is fine, but the video alternately pauses and plays for a second or two over and over again.
AIV works just fine on my iPad.
For everyone viewing, please take 30 secs to create an account and let Adobe know that their product is causing problems for your Amazon service.
This needs to get fixed asap!
Thanks
V.

Webcakes included in Adobe Flash Player

I recently started having unwanted popup links on my website and only on my PC (Windows7) and sometimes when I clicked on a legitimate link it took me to an unknown website. I figured I was infected with some sort of malware or adware although a scan turned up nothing. When searching what was recently downloaded Adobe Flash Player was one of the programs. I uninstalled everything that I was not familiar with (leaving the Flash Player) but I still had the popups. I then uninstalled Adobe Flash Player and popups disappeared. I went to reinstall Flash Player and at one point during the download I got the box to accept or decline the terms and then noticed that if I accepted “Webcakes” would be installed. I declined and installation continued and after installation the popups were back. Uninstalled again, popups gone. Reinstalled popups back. Uninstalled, popups gone. I think you get the message. How can I correct this because my site pops up with a message bar saying that Flash Player is required for this site? This is only when I view my site in IE8. If I view in Chrome everything is good and there are no popups. When I tried to install Flash Player using Chrome it says that it is already there. If it already exists in Chrome why wouldn’t it also exist in IE? Don’t understand that either but then again I am not a computer guru.

Hi jacquienmo,
Webcakes shouldn't be bundled with your flash player. What probably happened is you were already infected with the malicious adware and it sent you a fake alert to update your flash player bundling the webcake malware to it.
You may want to try to remove it using the instructions here. While you're at it you should completely remove the old flash player that had webcake bundled in and download the legitimat copy. Follow the installation instructions here.
As for the behavior you're seeing with Chrome, it's expected. Google Chrome comes pre-packaged with it's own version of Flash Player plugin, completely separate from the Flash Player plugin used in IE/FireFox.
Hope this helps.

Yoga 13: Adobe Flash crashing with Transitions?

Whenever I have Firefox open and flip from laptop to tent or tablet mode, Adobe Flash crashes. This is a major annoyance because really the only time I go from laptop to tent or tablet mode is when I am watching a video within Firefox. I've searched Google but haven't found anything... I have the latest version of Flash (11.6.602.180) and the latest version of Transitions I've found on this horrible Lenovo site.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem, and have you found a fix? Thanks in advance!

I, too am having this issue - however instead of crashing, my PC usually slows down. For anyone at Lenovo that cares to actually test this issue - just open up any web browser and watch a YouTube video. Play the video in laptop mode. Then when you're done, switch to tablet mode and play it again. That same video will either become choppy or crash. Likewise, when I try to use a program to play DRM videos (Vudu) or play flash-enabled games I have the same issue. I have tried to look at task manager and do a comparison of programs running before and after transition to tablet mode, and all I can see is a .1% spike in memory usage by Lenovo Transition.
I think this is a more recent problem as I don't remember this being an issue from the start, but I can't identify how recent. I used to play a game called SoulCraft from the Windows 8 store back in January. This game is most easily played in tablet mode, and it played perfectly. It quickly got old and I stopped playing after about a week. I came back to it about 4 weeks ago but it was choppy in tablet mode. When in laptop mode it plays fine. So I reckon that this issue came with a software update that occurred sometime between late Jan and early Apr. That's just my speculation, though. I have also installed/uninstalled programs which may be messing with the transition software.

I enrolled in weight watchers online only to find out I can't access some of the options because I need adobe flash player is there anything I can do?

I enrolled in weight watchers online only to find out that I can't access some of the tools I need because I need adobe flash player is there anything I can do. I've already paid for the service!!!!

Send a stiff email to Weight Watchers to suggest they need to remove their software videos from the FAT and BLOATED Flash container and trim down to HTML5 in the future if they want to stay on program.
In the mean time you are going to have to employ work arrounds with your iPad.
Try the Skyfire browser app, This can convert some flash content remotely into a viewable format playable by Quicktime on your iPad.
Its not however guaranteed to work on DRM protected material and its very likely these Weight Watchers videos are so protected I am afraid to say.
Other apps such as iSwiffer attempt streaming of flash but are slowed due to band width.
You could also use a VNC type app such a Splashtop to stream direct from your PC to your IPad however sound is not guarranted to work with these apps.
Finally the most satisfactory solution at the moment plunk yourself down in front of a PC/Mac or Linux box and watch the flash their.

How can I download a book that requires adobe flash player

I bought this ipad to download textbook from pearsonsuccessnet.com, and after login in the page it requires to have adobe flash player, not supported by apple. What can I do?

Adobe has killed flash on mobile devices.
If it is a web site requiring flash, look at iswifter in the app store.
Otherwise, download on a computer and transfer the books over.
If it requires adobe's drm for the downloaded textbook -you will need something like blue fire reader.

[11/21/2014] Adobe Access DRM Customer Advisory - SEVERE - Chrome 39 Corruption of Adobe Access DRM License Store

[ Problem ]
The Chrome browser version 39 upgrade on Mac OS will cause a corruption to the Adobe Access DRM (Primetime DRM) license stores. Users of Chrome 39 on Mac OS will not be able to watch Adobe Access DRM protected content if they have previously played protected content, unless they manually reset their DRM license store. If the end-user does not manually reset their DRM license store, they will see a client-side DRM Error Code 3321 on every playback attempt.
This problem affects Mac users because Chrome will automatically update to a 64bit version of the browser. Windows users will not see this problem unless they opt-in for an upgrade to 64bit.
[ Workaround ]
Reset the Adobe Access DRM license store as per https://forums.adobe.com/thread/700107
[ Permanent Fix ]
Adobe will update the next version of Flash Player (December 2014) to accommodate this Chrome 39 upgrade scenario. Google and Microsoft will also integrate this new Flash Player into Chrome and Internet Explorer at their earliest convenience.
[ Background ]
Prior to Chrome 39, Chrome on Mac OS was using 32bit architecture. Chrome 39 enabled 64bit functionality, and MacOS will automatically upgrade Chrome 32bit to the 64bit version, which causes corruption to the Adobe Access DRM license store. As a result of this breaking change from Google. To mitigate this type of failure in the future, Adobe will do pre-emptive testing of Google’s upcoming dev-channel builds to ensure backwards-compatibility with Adobe Access DRM.

FOLLOWUP SENT OUT ON TUESDAY, 11/25/2014
Hello,
On Friday, November 21, Adobe distributed a Customer Advisory about a Chrome browser auto-update to version39 that caused playback of Adobe Access DRM streams to fail (with a DRM Error #3321 – 'Indiv Failed'). Only the Mac OS platform was affected. More details of the announcement can be found at: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1641382
As of Tuesday, November 25th, an update to the Chrome browser has begun rolling out to resolve this issue. The updated version of Chrome browser (64bit) is 39.0.2171.71.
Cheers,
// Adobe Primetime DRM

Adobe Flash & Javascript don't work even though Enabled

Ever since what I think was either a Firefox upgrade (I don't know which one) or installation of Quicktime, my Adobe Flash Plugin is perpetually crashed and I cannot play any Flash content on any website. All that displays in place of the video is a gray screen with the sad-face Lego icon and the message: “The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed. Please reload the page to try again.” (See attached image.) But it will not resolve when reloaded.
No Flash videos on any sites work. HTML5 videos work on YouTube when tested, but non-HTML5 videos won't work.
Also, my Javascript does not seem to be working since at least some displays requiring javascript don't work. Sometimes the display just doesn't work, and sometimes I get a message that javascript is disabled and must be enabled, but it is already enabled (set to “true” in about:config).
I have spent days scouring every help forum entry I can find on troubleshooting Flash Player and Javascript. Everything on my end seems to be in order and I cannot find or fix either problem. I think it is possible the issue could have its roots in the fact that Javascript seems to not be working which may be preventing Flash Player content from working...??
Also, Flash content does work in I.E. but not in Firefox (I do not have Chrome installed so did not test in Chrome). I have too many window tabs open in Firefox and can't switch to I.E. (nor do I like to use I.E.).
PLEASE HELP as this is crippling for very important work deadlines I have.
This is what else I know and have tried:
I have a Toshiba Satellite C75D-A Laptop;
Processor: AMD A6-5200 APU with Radeon HD Graphics; x64; 2.00 Ghz;
RAM: 8 MB;
OS: 64-bit system; Windows 8.1 (but some auto-check utilities detect it as 8.0 because it was upgraded.);
Graphics Card: “Desktop Graphics” System – AMD Radeon HD 8400 (0x9830);
Installed Graphics Driver Version: AMD 13.352.1004.1007 (Driver Date: 4/22/2014)
My Device Manager graphics driver updater states: “driver software is up to date.”
From the AMD website: the graphics driver auto-detect utility recommended the AMD Catalyst Driver (amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-without-dotnet45-win8.1-64bit.exe) I tried installing this driver, but it won't install. After trying to install, I got a message stating: “We are unable to find a driver for your system.” But Device Manager states I have a current driver, and my graphics card & driver seem to be working fine, so I do not believe this is part of the issue.
I am using Latest Firefox version 35.0.1; and
Using Latest Flash Player: 32-bit NPAPI Plug-in Version: 16.0.0.296; designated: “always activate” (Downloaded new update several times, including fresh install after uninstall; system & web address icons indicate Flash is enabled).
I turned off hardware acceleration in FF Tools>Options>Advanced>General
I disabled WebGL as explained here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
I am using Ad-Block Plus which has never affected things in the past. I have not tried starting FF in Safe Mode because I believe I will lose all open tabs and not be able to recover them (I may have over 200 open). But disabling add-ons has no effect (I disabled all except for Sessions Manager in case of a crash). (My No-Script has been disabled for at least six months.)
I have Windows Media Player and Quicktime installed.
Quicktime is most recent upgrade (7.7.6) so should not be a problem according to:
“QuickTime plugin takes over Flash” at:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here)
Disabling Quicktime had no effect in the prior version of FF (ver. 35.0), but in latest FF ver. 35.0.1, Flash videos only display a plain (blank) gray screen instead of the sad-faced icon and crash message.
(I tried to uninstall Quicktime altogether, but was not able to due to Error codes 2502 & 2503. I tried troubleshooting that as well with no luck using methods successful for other programs, including here:
http://www.fixkb.com/2014/01/error-2503-and-2502-when-uninstalling-on-windows-8.html;
& here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-winapps/re-internal-error-codes-2502-and-2503-for/ba5f2145-aa6e-4cc0-81a7-e4346f43b698.)
Disabling my FF theme and using the default brought back the sad-faced icon and crash message in the place of videos on some YouTube pages, but not other YouTube pages (where video was still blank gray screen). It also enabled a still Flash image (an ad) to display on a different website page that previously had a Flash Plugin crash message. I have been using this same theme for a couple of years without previous issue. While turning it off did generate an effect on some still imagery, it didn't fix the video problem.
I tried Disabling Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 as explained here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here).
It did not solve the issue.
I also deleted all storage & data in Flash Player as advised. This had no effect either.
I've tried all solutions I've been able to find and am at a loss for what to try next. Please help and advise ASAP. Thank you!!

I truely admire the efforts that have been made to make this work.
"“We are unable to find a driver for your system.” "
For it not installing, you need to follow these instructions to install them: see the comments: [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/windows-10-atiamd-display-drivers/50944d10-dde3-4e08-8244-d54eb2b1e7de] --> take warning though it looks like it has caused issues for others as well.
Since it was working for some youtube videos and not others, there might be an issue with a particular video codec. DO you have OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. plugin?
Is it possible to try Safe Mode after saving your session with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager Addon]? IT would test hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Thank you, guigs2! Sorry for my delayed reply...I didn't realize I hadn't gotten back to you. Update is that I did try a whole slew of other troubleshooting steps including starting FF in safe mode, to no avail. However, I was FINALLY (after months) able to solve this problem just today by pure chance!
The problem was that hardware acceleration was enabled in the Flash settings. I had not been able to turn it off because I didn't have access to the Flash Player settings as long as the crash error message was visible, which was all the time! Today, by a sheer fluke, I saw a static picture in place of the crash message on a Flash video. I snagged the opportunity to call up the settings and turn off hardware acceleration, and it fixed the problem for my whole browser! This has been a frustrating issue because I did not have access to the settings utility as long as I had the crash message, which was always, so my Flash was crippled without the ability for me to fix it until pure luck gave me this window of opportunity.
Does anyone know another way to access the settings utility if this ever happens again in the future? I could not find a way. (Incidentally, I had tried disabling hardware acceleration via my graphics driver settings, but it didn't fix the problem.) We need Adobe to allow some other way to access the Flash Player settings utility when this problem arises since they aren't accessible when there is a static crash message.
Thanks again!
