Adobe Media Player downloads videos then deletes them??

I'd like to note that Adobe Media Player continues to maintain that video files are downloaded for offline viewing. However, the application then 'deletes' those files from the cache at some time in the future, usually an hour or so after downloading. This has nothing to do with viewing them. Even if you haven't not viewed them, they are deleted.
I downloaded 20 videos for offline viewing.  2 hours later the downloads which previously completed, were nowhere in the gui, nowhere on my file system.
I then re-downloaded the 20 videos of the Flex in a Week course. 2 hours later only 5 had been retained even though all 20 had previously downloaded to completion and were completely local. Where is the sense and why only delete '15' and then othertimes delete all?
What is the 'reasoning' behind deleting cached files a few hours after they have been downloaded for offline viewing.
Absoluted stupid idea. Does Adobe want to keep their servers streaming continuously everytime users realise they've 'lost' their local copies of the video files?

This is extremely frustrating, I have downloaded the videos numerous times and ran into the same problem. I hope someone from Adobe will provide a resolution to this problem soon.

  • Adobe Media Player download stalled

    I've been trying to download Adobe Media Player. I go through all of the password entering and let it install Adobe AIR as it said it needed that to support the player. The download window comes up saying it's "installing application" but the progress bar doesn't even start. Is there a way to download the installer and install the program manually? Has anyone else run into this problem?

    I've got the exact same question!
    Also, what is the latest version of Adobe Media Player? I have version 1.1? I saw a google result tht said version 1.7?
    What version do you have?
    1.1 on my mac says it can't play any of Adobe's content. I've had it open all day and it hasn't notified me of any available updates. Using the help menu sends me to a 404 page on help.adobe.com
    If I visit this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/
    and click "GET ADOBE MEDIA PLAYER" all it does is launch the version I already have instead of letting me download the file.

  • How to tell Adobe Media Player NOT remember played videos?

    Whenever I try to play videos, e.g. *.flv files. Adobe Media Player remember it.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Launch Adobe Media Player
    2. Click "My Favorites" on top menu.
    3. Click "My Personal Videos" tab.
    Now, I have to remove them manually.
    I checked the Options and the online help. No clue so far.
    Any settings that I missing can do so?
    Or any trick you know of?
    Please advise.
    Thank you very much!
    Technical information:
    Adobe Media Player (version 1.8)
    Mac OS X 10.6.4
    The player was installed while installing CS5 Production Premium.

    One of my programs needed Flash Player and downloaded it for me!  So, Problem solved.  Thanks to all who are reading this.  I would delete it if I could. 

  • If I delete my songs from my "Downloads" folder, have them in my "Trash" and then delete them from my "Trash", will I still be able to play the songs on my iTunes or will they be deleted on my iTunes as well?

    I want to clear some space on my Mac since it is filling up and I don't have much room left on it. I want to delete all my songs from my "Downloads" folder and then delete them from my "Trash" to free up space however, I'm worried that if I do this then iTunes will not play any of the songs I deleted.
    Will I still be able to play my songs on iTunes even if they are not in my "Downloads" or "Trash" folders?
    Thank you.

    All tracks in iTunes (if you use default settings) should be in various artist and album folders in the main media folder in the iTunes folder. You can right click a track to reveal its location in Finder.  If there's a copy there then it doesn't really matter what you do with other copies.
    I have never downloaded from iTunes but I thought it placed files directly in the correct locations, or is this some other downloads folder to which you are referring?
    Normally if you download a file from another source and add it to iTunes by dragging it there, or using the Add To menu item, it places a copy of the file in iTunes.  You can discard the original, but if you're concerned you can check which copy iTunes is actually using as above.

    I have an ipod 8generation and i deleted all of my things to download a few shows then deleted them to get my things back but it wont let me it says i have no space. Why?

    Hello,
    Sometimes that you see something it saves in cache, (or could be that the show is in progress to be deleted) so here's the problem.
    Just restart your device to see if the cache of the shows deletes themselves.
    Then try to import your music again.
    Cheers.
    You can use this tool to quickly clean all the cache that needs to be deleted-

System preferences firewall is off and apps are allowed from anywhere and in Safari other plug ins are allowed and cookies are not blocked and pop up windows are not blocked. Why won't Flash Player download?

    Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
    If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.

    Hello Angel8C,
    Your MacBook Air running Yosemite will need an updated version of the Flash Player plugin to play web content that is in the Flash format (not all video content is Flash; there is also HTML5 video, amongst others). If you are being prompted to update your Flash Player plugin, you may find the following article helpful:

  • Adobe Media Player bug, 2 years on.

    I note on the Adobe Develop site for Flex tutorials, the company states:
    Want to view Flex in a Week videos in offline mode? Follow these steps:
    Install Adobe Media Player.
    Click the My Favorites menu at the top.
    Click Add RSS Feed at the bottom.
    Copy and paste this URL: http://sessions.adobe.com/FlexInAWeek/feed.xml
    I complete the above steps, then download a selection of the videos to view offline.
    I go have a coffee and come back.  The videos have disappeared.
    I repeat the download process, after 30 minutes the videos disappear.
    I repeat the download process, after 1 hour, all but two of the videos disappear. The last two disappear 30 minutes later.
    I repeat the download process but this time do a copy of the cache folder in
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Media Player\Local Store\cache
    When the application has deleted the files, I can open my copy of the cache folder and double click to watch the original flv.
    I now realise that this problem has been reported since 2007 but Adobe continues to re-issue versions of this player with the same stupid behaviour and they do not comment on this behaviour. They also  continue to offer the player for viewing their published videos offline despite the fact that half way through viewing one video the next episodes may disappear in the interim?
    Why?
    I now use a third party product to download and save the above videos for VIEWING OFFLINE as Adobe state. Howeve I cannot use the Adobe Media Player to view ANY of their own content, while this issue remains.

    IMHO, Adobe Media Player is one app that nobody in adobe responds to and at the moment is pretty useless. Whenever I install my adobe apps, I just uncheck Adobe Media Player. It's as useful and a mosquito.

    INSTALLATION ERRORS!
    UNINSTALL ERRORS!
    SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY GONE AMUCK AND GOOFY WITH THIS OUTFIT.
    IT IS JUST THE LOUSIEST AND SHABBIEST WAY THE ADOBE MAKES ITS SHAMEFULLY LOW QUALITY (SOFTWARE???) PRODUCTS.
    MOST EVERYTHING, ALMOST NEVER WORK RIGHT.
    JUST A TERRIBLE WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME AND EFFORTS.
    ADOBE SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME JUST ANOTHER VENUE PUSHER FOR INTERNET SPAM AD-PUSHERS.

    VERY SAD.
    I AM GOING TO DE-INSTALL EVERY DAMNED ADOBE SHABBY SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
    TOO MUCH HASSEL.
    TOO MUCH WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME AND EFFORTS.
    ** NOTE **
    FIND OTHER RELIABLE SOFTWARE FIRMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED *.FLV FILE PLAYERS -- FOR THE TIME BEING -- UNTIL ALL *.FLV FILES HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO *.MWV OR SOMETHING THAT WORKS FLAWLESSLY.
    THE *.FLV FILES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ALL OF THE INTERNET WEBSITES AS UNSTABLE AND SHABBY.
    AND SAY GOODBYE TO ALL SHABBY, LOUSY, ROTTEN ADOBE PRODUCTS.
    IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT LAZY, DEAF, DUMB, BLIND FOLKS (WITH PANTS AROUND THE ANKLES) AT THIS SHABBY OUTFIT ARE NOT GOING TO WORK HARD ENOUGH TO EVER PRODUCE QUALITY PRODUCTS.
