Are videos supposed to play embedded in safari ?

In facebook or you tube on safari the videos will not play, YouTube asks for flash and facebook only shows me the thumbnail of the video,no play button, is this normal?

I'm not a big fan of the "use the search feature, newb" approach.
And yet that is exactly the instructions in the Terms of Use for the Apple Discussions, please search before posting to avoid continuous repetition of threads.
As has been pointed out to you an over abundance of times, there is no Flash for iOS, nor most other portable devices. Were Steve Jobs to relent tomorrow, there is not an Adobe Flash product to use, nor has there been for going on four years. But with each passing day there are more websites that really on web standards instead of Flash to make their services available to portable devices.
I use Flash every day when something else is not available on my Mac mini and iMac. It is a constant resource hog and causes both Safari and Firefox to crash. So carry on being the current Flash Troll and the Hosts will continue to remove your most aggressive trollish comments, as they did just minutes ago. They are on to you, and obviously watching you, as are many others now.

How are you supposed to play a photo cd on a macbook pro?

how are you supposed to play a photo cd on a macbook pro? when i put it in my drive, it says something like disk type not supported when i open up the dvd player. please tell me if theres some kind of software i have to download..please and thank you

when you insert the disk it should be in the side bar of finder. double clickt he disk and you should have some sort of file in it. I'm not sure what softwware was used to create the slideshow but if it's a movie you'll have to figure out what type of media it is. I think VLC media player will be your best bet to play this CD/dvd though.

Videos Will Not Play When Using Safari Browser

G'day,
When I use IE 7 or Fire Fox Browsers the You Tube Videos play fine on my My Space page, they load on Safari, begin to start then freeze. Any help would be appreciated
<Edited by Moderator>

Try installing the plugin for Adobe Flash from this URL:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html
if that doesn't work, a new one may be available at adobe.com:

What is the scripting error? Object not found? Did you upload
the Scripts
folder?

Video does not play in iPad video app?

Perhaps I don't know the basics of video publication here, but I am trying to figure out why my published video will only play in the Safari browser on the iPad, and not the video app on the iPad app. When I click on web videos on various websites using Safari, you can choose to display the video full screen on the iPad and the video opens in it's on video player. The play bar Captivate inserts is way too small for the average user. Can I get my videos published by Captivate to use the iPad's video player instead?

Hello there,
Please tell the complete version of Captivate (help > about adobe captivate).
In which format have you published the output? Is it HTML 5 or MP4 Video format?
And, what kind of video is it? Is it recording done in captivate or have you inserted the video in ypur project?
Thanks.

Safari stop playing embedded youtube videos

Hi
I am having trouble with Safari 4.0.5 (6531.22.7) which suddenly refuse to play embedded youtube videos. Safari show the video in a web page but when played the youtube default play display "an error occurred, please try again." and Safari display in the status bar "one error in opening the page, for more information, choose Window->Activity". Now when I look in the activity window it show "forbidden" beside the video file.
Strangely I can play the same video from the youtube main page without any errors.
I have already done the following:
- checked permissions with Disk Utility.
- Reset Safari
- Empty caches
- Removed com.apple.Safari.plist
- Uninstalled, re-Installed Flash plug-in
but the problem still persist. Help in resolving will be highly appreciated.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
YouTube streams content using the Flash plugin ... Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *try running Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64*. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

Can't play embedded videos in Safari

I'm using Version 6.0.2 and I can't play embedded videos. Youtube is fine but if someone includes a video in a blog post, for example, there's a big white blank space where the vid is supposed to be. It happens in both Safari and Firefox. I've paused AdBlock and can't think of what else might be causing the problem. I'm running Virus Barrier X6, if that's any help, although it hasn't been a problem in the past. Could it be an extension?

After some messing around, I found out that I can't press the red/white play button on the middle of the picture. For some reason, that isn't clickable anymore. Instead, if I press anywhere on the picture preview except for the red/white play button, then the video will play fine.
I Don't remember having to do that before, but at least I can watch embedded videos again.

Embedded videos won't play in Safari on iPhone 5 iOS 8.02

All of a sudden I can't play any embedded YouTube videos in safari from my iPhone 5. I think the issue started when I upgraded to iOS 8.02.
I can see the screenshot of the video, and the red and white play button in safari, but it isn't clickable. I can click on the word youtube in the upper right hand corner of the picture and it will launch the YouTube app and then the video will play from the YouTube app, but never from safari anymore.
I've tried closing the safari app, clearing safari history, resetting the iphone, downloaded Google chrome, and even tried to use my RSS reader to view the webpage. They all do the same thing, and none will let me click the play button to watch the embedded video.
Anyone have any ideas? This is driving me crazy! Thanks!

Embedded MP4 videos not playing in iOS Safari

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with embedded MP4 videos (e.g. YouTube videos) not playing correctly in Safari. When I try to play one, I get one of two problems:
1. On my (first gen) iPad, Safari usually crashes.
2. On my iPhone 4, videos will load but only play audio, not video, though when I tap on the screen the "play" and "pause" symbols appear.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mike

Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.

HT5271 My videos arent playing on my safari and it says "blocked plug in". I go to download an updated version of flash but it doesnt help, and It keeps saying it over and over. I also cannot log in to previous webpages. Cookies are enables and so are

My videos arent playing on my safari and it says "blocked plug in". I go to download an updated version of flash but it doesnt help, and It keeps saying it over and over. I also cannot log in to previous webpages. Cookies are enables and so are pop ups

Uninstall the old Flash plugin versions > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
And turn OFF Extensions in Sarfari > Prerferences > Extensions. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Embedded video won't play in any browser

I have had a problem for a long time of videos on certain websites not playing on my MacBook Pro. I have the latest Lion OS update as well as the latest Flash update. I never have a problem with Youtube and most video plays fine but some websites, like for instance, news sites will not respond. I get a black screen with no controls or anythiing. Now I am having this problem with a site called MailChimp. I use FIrefox but it will not play in either Safari or Chrome. There must be some other people who have encountered this same problem. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Video not playing correctly in Safari

Hi there
I am having problems viewing embedded video streams in Safari (6.0.4). The video will play ok for a second or two then breaks up into vertical lines (see picture below) with the video's audio playing back ok. I have loaded the same pages using the Chrome browser and the video will playback ok without any issues so that narrows it down to be a problem within Safari.
I know the simple answer is to switch to Chrome as my main browser but tbh I really don't like Chrome very much and would prefer to use Safari as my main browser.
Any help solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Web site hosted video won't play in Safari on MAC.

I have a web application that runs in a web browser. One of its features is the ability to embed a video clip in a web page hosted on this application.
If I create a web page using the HTML5 <video> tag and an H.264 encoded MP4 file video clip, I can browse to this page from my web server and see the video. However, if I launch this same HTML page within my application (window.open(URL, _blank, ...)) it displays the page but refuses to play the video. This happens in Safari 5.1 on my Mac OS10.7 and on all browser tested on my iPad2 (Safari, Mecury, and Dolphin). However, the same HTML code plays fine through my application on all browsers on Windows (including Safari for Windows) and all other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, and Opera) on the Mac. It also plays through the default Android browser and the Opera Mobile browser on my Android tablet.
Here is a sample of the HTML that I am using to play this video...
<video height="713" width="950" autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls" poster="WhiteScreen.png">
     <source src="tradeintradeup.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
     <source src="tradeintradeup.webm" type="video/webm" />
     <source src="tradeintradeup.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
     <div id-noupdate>
          <p>Video format not supported by this browser</p>
     </div>
</video>
When the video does not play, I do NOT get the text in the div, I see an area where the video should be (so the browser is recognizing the <video> tag) but the video never loads or plays.
What am I missing?
Thank you for your assistance.
Dave Smith

Michael,
Thank you for your response.
I am aware of the autoplay restriction on iOS devices. What I see in my iPad(2) is an empty area of the window with no control to touch/click to start the video playing.
In Safari on my Mac, I do see the control bar with the rewind/replay and the play buttons; however, the word "Loading..." is displayed forever in the bar. Again, the browser recognizes the video tag and creates the control to play the clip, but the video never actually starts playing. It appears that it hangs trying to download/stream the content.
I have other pages that embed audio clips using the HTML5 <audio> tag. These play fine, as expected, with Safari on my Mac and on my iPad. Yes, I have to manually start the audio on the iPad, but it runs fine once started and autoplays on the Mac. Of course, these audio files are much smaller than the video files that will not play.
I have looked at the codec used for the video to see if it might not be compatible with the Mac Safari browser, but the video plays directly from my web site. It only fails to play when launched in a pop-up window by my web application. I realize that this points to a problem in my application. I am trying to get some ideas about where to look in my application for the problem.
Thanks again for your time and your input.

Why video does not play when embedded in a PDF when viewed in Windows 8?

I have a situation where video must be embedded within the PDF document and it was working for us using older versions of IE and on 32 bit machines and using acrobat X. When the same file was tested on Windows 8 it looks good and behaves well except the embedded video does not play. The same video (.mp4) will play on the new OS if it is not embedded in the PDF.
Is this because the PDF is looking for a 32 bit flash player? Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a fix for this situation?

Are you watching the pdf file from Adobe Reader?
Windows 8 by default has a diferent reader for pdf files that does not support rich media elements.

Embedded Youtube Video's not Playing in Web Viewer

I have several YouTube videos embedded in my folios. They all play fine when being viewed in the app, but if the folio is shared (by any channel) and viewed in the web viewer these videos won't play. Instead the user is greeted by this error:
Not found
Invalid character in path
I know that other apps using embedded youtube videos are playing just fine in the web viewer (I check out Wired) so I'm curious why mine are broken.
Any thoughts?

This streaming YouTube example works fine in DPS Tips web viewer:
http://contentviewer.adobe.com/s/DPS%20Tips/7f80a0ffed3a4ff08734bc905aac4a29/Advanced_Over lays/29_Video_Stream.html
Here's the embed code I used:
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QV1UZ-88HeE?rel=0" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
Are you using the same embed code format for your overlay?

Are videos supposed to play embedded in safari ?
