All embedded videos in internet articles and on Youtube play sound but no picture

My problem only started about 2 weeks ago . Before that I could directly play any video that was on Youtube or any video embedded in an internet download.
Now the video plays, in the sense that I have sound and the elapsed-time bar moves along the bottom of the screen, but there is no video picture, just a full green screen. This applies to any video on Youtube or embedded in an internet download.
I can still play any video that I have previously downloaded to my PC, be it Flash Video file or MP4 file.
The players installed on my PC are the latest versions of Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player, Media Player Classic and Adobe Flash Player.
The problem started at about the same time there was a major upgrade to my Avast free antivirus program (to version 8.0.1482) but this is probably a red herring, as I find it hard to believe that could have anything to do with the problem.
I have also tried on Internet Explorer and the problem is just the same, so it is not Firefox specific.
Can anyone offer a solution?
Regards,
Barry

Thanks cor-el,
I disabled protected mode in Flash, as per the instructions in the link you provided, but it made no apparent difference.
I can't find how to disable the hardware acceleration in the flash plugin. Can you help me there?
I did disable the Shockwave Flash plugin as a trial and immediately the videos appeared again in imbedded videos in internet downloads. Why disabling Shockwave Flash allowed these pictures to appear I don't know.
It is not practical, however, to leave Shockwave Flash disabled because many of the embedded videos use Flash so I can't view them.
Regards,
Barry

  • Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook- Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture- are they gone?

    I Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook… Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture… are they gone?Becuase they offer to delete what was imported, so to save space i did... Is there anything I can do to restore the picture?

    Do your videos play in QuickTime Playerwhen you reveal one of them in the Finder with "File > Reveal > Original"? Try to open the revealed movie in QuickTime and see if it plays.
    Check the format of the movie. You can see it in the Inspector in QuickTime Player from the "WIndow" menu: Window > Show Inspector.
    iPhoto does not support all movie formats and codecs that QuickTime player can play, and not all frame rates.
    See: Using AVCHD video with iPhoto '11
    If the movie does not play in QuickTime Player either, install QuickTime 7 for more codecs.

  • I can no longer play embedded videos on the BBC and Sky websites, how can I get them to play?.

    When I try and run the embedded videos I getthe message that they cannot play and to try later. The error message was:
    EMP v.3.0.0.r555290_554055
    Playlist URL : http://playlists.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15192676A/playlist.sxml
    Error code : CDNRedundancyManagerError [0] :

    I am using FF 7.0.1 on Windows 7 sp1 and the Flash version is 11.0.1.152. I have checked Firewall settings and they are ok.
    Thanks for any help.

    Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
    Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
    or
    Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
    Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie and refresh page if above does not do it.

  • Firefox will no longer play videos and keeps telling me to download the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer which I have done 5 times but still get the same message when I try to play videos. I can play videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome .

    Recently when I try to play a video on Firefox I get the same message that I need to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. At least 5 times I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player Plugin 64 bit. Problem is that even though I have the latest version I still get the same message when I try to watch videos on Firefox. The frustrating thing is I can watch videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome as well as on Safari. How does that make sense?
    Today, I upgraded to Firefox 10.0.2 (x86eng-us) hoping that would enable me to watch video on Firefox but it made no difference either. I would rather use Firefox as my default browser but if I can't get help so I can view video on it I will be forced to use another browser.

    Hi arpriltime,
    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't

    My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems.  As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play.  I don't think I have done anything differently.  Does anyone know how to fix this.  I have tried unplugging it

    Hi, I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems for over a year.  As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play.  I don't think I have done anything differently.  Does anyone know how to fix this.  I have tried unplugging it waiting 30secs and then plugging it back in.  I have tried restarting, updating and reseting but nothing is working.  It's quite frustrating!!!! Any suggestions????

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • HT201412 I have followed all instructions to set up email and i am receiving fine but cannot send

    I followed all instructions to set up email and I am receiving fine but cannot send keep getting message stating username or password incorrect?

    The sending of email is handled by the SMTP server. Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Go to the account in question and check the SMTP server settings. In some places in the mail app, it says the username and password are optional. In actuality, it really isn't. If you cannot modify the settings and get it to work, then delete the account entirely and set it back up again, making sure to get the username and password correct in all areas.

    What is the driver version for your NVIDIA GeForce GT640?
    There is a known issue specific to Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA GeForce. The Announcement at the top of this forum tells it all - detailed description of problem, references, fixes, and fix details.
    The following is a copy paste of that Announcement....
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card
    and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your
    first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that
    it is up to date.  
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and
    unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer
    has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back
    the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver
    roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10.
    Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.   
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675  
    Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found  NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search   
    A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for
    the driver roll back can be found  http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
    Please refer to the following for the driver version history of your NVIDIA card
    Based on history, you should be using
    GeForce 320.18 Driver
    320.18
