Blank embedded videos

I have an iPad2 that refuses to show videos that are embedded in web pages. I have no problem viewing the same video on You Tube, but I only get audio for the embedded version. Once i hit play on the embedded video, the video goes blank and only the sound plays. After reading some of the discussions here, I set up iTunes to NOT synch podcasts and I don't have any films or other videos stored on the iPad. Any suggestions as to what is going on?

Thanks but that doesn't help at all and is marginally relevant. All plugins are enabled. Audio still plays and I can still use the buttons on the video player but the video is a blank screen.

Embedded video in PDF shows blank

Hi,
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro. I have a PDF and a .mp4 video on a web-server. The mp4 is about 26 Mb in size. If I open the video on the browser (IE) it works.
However when I embed this video in my PDF using a 'Video tool' it plays only the audio and does not show the video. I read somewhere about the file name length. the file name is ps1.mp4.
Can someone please help resolving this.
Thanks in adavance.

Does this only affect one video, or every PDF you open with embedded video content?
If the latter it is probably an issue with your video card. First, I'd try disabling hardware acceleration in Acrobat's preferences > page display, and switching to software mode on preferences > 3D and multimedia > preferred renderer.

Embedded videos from Presenter won't play/sync

I have a couple embedded videos in a PPT that I've published from Presenter to Adobe Connect. When I get to the slide with the video in the Connect meeting, the section with the video is blank. However, if I turn off the Sync, I get the play bar and can manually play it, but it does not sync to the group (obviously with sync being disabled).
How can I set it up so I can manually play the video and keep the attendees synced to the video, as well?

Hi,
You can get the playbar even in the sync mode. Click on share pod's dropdown menu and click on Show Presentation playbar option from the dropdown.
You will then see the playbar similar to what you see in un-sync mode and you can then play the video. Let us know if this did the trick for you!
Thanks

Embedded video only plays once

I have created a PDF from a Word document. I am now at embedding videos (MP4). I am using the advanced option to play the videos in a floating window. When I play them back on the host computer it works fine. I can start a video, activate the controls and close the window, then restart and the video and it re-runs OK. However when I save the file and try and run it on another computer (without the full Acrobat) the video runs fine the first time, but when you rerun it it pops up in a blank window. If you click on the window boundary and drag it the video suddenly appears, but it will not appear as it should just by clicking the link on the PDF. Any suggestions?
PS I have just noticed that another large PDF file was open in a separate window, closing this appaers to have fixed it, but I dont think this behavior should happen.

Sounds like an issue with your display driver - video playback targets the driver directly, and some combinations of graphics card and display driver don't like more than one application hooking the video buffer at the same time.
Please log a bug report with complete information about your hardware (graphics card, display setup, driver versions, OS, etc.) - although I don't believe it's an Acrobat bug, it will help engineering to nail down what's causing it.

Can't play embedded videos. Shows large question mark where the video is.

Need some help. I'm not able to play any embedded videos and all I get is the big Q with a question mark over it. I've tried reinstalling and checked the permissions in the registry. The problem that I found is that in the QuickTime preferences, on the File Type menu, there is absolutely nothing in there, just a blank white space. Any suggestions?
Much appreciated.
Scott

Had the same problem; quicktime plugin would only work for administrative users not normal "limited" user. I temporarily promoted the user to administrator and the plugin worked fine. When I restored the user back to limited it still worked. I only had this problem on one computer so I don't really know the root cause. For reference, the computer was running Windows XP Pro, SP3, on a Windows Active Directory domain, using free Quicktime version 7.6.2.

Flash wont play embedded videos only on some accounts

Here is my system and software configuration. Windows7 - IE8 32 bit -- latest Flash version. Flash plays embedded videos under administrator account but not on the other user accounts. Youtube and tests on adobe site shows flash working on all accounts. I've checked IE security settings and kill bit in the registry. Harware acceleration does not make a difference. I've unloaded and loaded Flash multiple times even in the other accounts changing account type to administrator temporarily. Nothing will make it work. I've checked firewall and Norton AV turning them on and off. I am out of ideas and out of patience. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, just wanted to tell this is exactly the same problems I have. And I have tested like you said. My administrator user account can show embeded videos correctly, but both my non-adm user account can not show correctly embeded. And tried to change non-adm account to adm - did not help.
System: Vista home, IExplorer 9
Videos on Youtube.com plays perfect and the adobe "about" flash page shows I have installed latest and I see a spinning logo with my non-adm users.
I have also checked the kill-bit in registery.
But I did find out something, unfortunally it's not a solution, but a clue what's going on - I hope.
If I open this example webpage, all I can see are 2 blank frames and a icon in upper left corner.
If I open same weblink with my adminastror, I can see the videos.
http://www.artvps.com/index.php/tutorials/shaderlight/render
After alot of search on the web, I found some ideas. Copy the below text and save it as "test.html", and open the file in IExplorer. This html text is a mix of collected html-text from above webpage and added some from youtube.com where you get the html-code to copy&paste to embed. The source at end is using IFRAME methode.
The only visible embeded sources using my non-adm account are those that has a "classid" added or IFRAME methode. If there is no "classid" my non-adm account only sees a blank frame and icon in upper left. My administrator account does see ALL sources.
But how to fix that I can see all embeded as non-adm user - sorry, I have no clue
One extra thing: I noticed when running IExplorer as non-adm user, I can see a line in the process-list in windows taskmananger, process-name "FlashUtil10n_ActiveX.exe" with info-text "Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 10.2r152" if I try to view a webpage with flash source.
If I do the same thing with my administrator user this process is not listed in windows taskmanager.
Here is a screenshot from using IExplorer (adm & non-adm) and Opera.

IPad2 won't play some embedded videos

For some strange reason iPad (iOS6.1) is no longer playing some embedded videos.
The symptoms are, that where the video has been embedded in a Forum post the screen is completely blank. There is no frame where the video should be, nothing!
The only way I can watch the video is the "quote" the post, copy the link into a browser, either Safari or Chrome and then it plays perfectly.
Has anybody any clue as to why this is happening?
Is it an issue iPad has with the way that the video has been embedded?
Help appreciated.

Hi,
I had the same issue.
After resetting the network settings everything works fine again.
YouTube App and the videos you posted above didn't play.
After resetting, they are playable.
Try it out.
Best regards,

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 do not show up on certain webstites.

Embedded videos on certain websites (perezhilton.com) do not appear. I have downloaded Firefox's most recent update and that is when the problem started. I downloaded Google Chrome and the videos do appear and work fine on that browser.

You may have to install additional plugins.

Embedded videos in many websites won't open.

I have found that the embedded videos on many but not all websites won't open now when I'm browsing in Firefox. I am running 27.0.1. I have Adobe Flash Player installed so that's not an issue. As some examples of non-openers: Embedded videos in some of the news articles on Yahoo!'s home page; videos on the davidlynchfoundation.org site. I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on, but it didn't change anything. In many cases, their is a big empty space in the text where the video should be, i.e. there isn't any indication that there's a video there. In other cases, I click on the visible start icon, but the screen of the vid just goes to black.
When I switched to Safari, all of these embedded videos opened without a hitch. I'd rather continue with Firefox, but will have to switch to Safari if we can come up with a "fix" for this problem.
I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard. This is a new problem which I haven't experienced with Firefox previously.
BTW: I have only minimal tech skills.
Thanks for any advice/help you can provide.
Dave

Hi Yogidave,
It sounds like the videos are not loading properly. If there are not video controls, but there is a space for the video, this means that the item is loading, but the player is not loading.
In understanding what you tried:
I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on - it looks like this is no longer in the list of add ons that you have in the troubleshooting information, when you took this out, do the videos still leave space in the page where the video should be?
The examples you used: Yahoo homepage and the davidlynchfoundation: I know the latter uses an embedded youtube video with has its own video player that uses flash, as well at Yahoo. (I am not sure if all the videos are flash in Yahoo)
Since this is the case, can you please check your extensions to see if you have Flash installed or if you have it disabled? If so, please turn it on and visit the sites that are giving you issues to see if this resolves the problem.
This article has pretty simple instructions how to install the player if it is not there[[Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games]]
The only other test I can suggest is to see if another type of embedded video does the same thing. For example, if you have netflix or hulu, see if those video players do the same thing.
I hope this helps. (also I tested those pages in beta and it loads just fine, you are not short of watching videos again in firefox)

How do I make a thumbnail that has a gallery inside? And how can I make this gallery have embeded videos from vimeo + Images?

Hello,
I'm pretty new to Muse so I don't know a lot about it, but I researched a lot and didn't find an answer to this question.
I'm trying to make a portfolio website. The website will be a 12 thumbnails. But each thumbnail is one project, not an image.
When you click one of the thumbnails, I want it to be a lightbox that will show embeded videos from vimeo mixed with images.
Ex: A coca-cola projet.
Main page has a thumbnail of a coca cola image. When you click on it, it opens a lightbox with a coca-cola film, when i click to the right arrow, it shows a cocacola poster, then another poster, then another video. (but they are all part of this gallery, that is inside the thumbnail.
Can you guys help me?
Thanks!!!

I don't understand why my thumbnails don't work.
I dragged a composition lightbox inside another one. But I still have the first lightbox there and can't delete.
When I try my wabsite i see this:
But then I click the thumbnail and I see this:
And when I click one of those 3 I see this:
Like it is making a double lightbox.
but it doesn't show the images, it's like the first lightbox is on top of the second one.
How I deal with this? =/

After updating to Flash version 11.6.602.171 - can no longer play any embedded videos..and worse

To begin with, I'm running a clean AMD 64 Bit Windows 7 System. Never any problems with any of my video playing scenarios - until now - with this version 11.6.602.171.
After downloading and installing both versions - both for Firefox (other browsers) and IE, none of my browsers can play videos unless they are at their lowest resolution of 240.
So I used the Adobe Flash Uninstaller and ensured that the last vestages of Flash Player were removed - and reinstalled - all to no avail.
Then I downloaded the archived version of 10.3 to see if a previous version would work. But that wouldn't work either. None of my browsers will play videos now and I'm talking:
IE 10
Firefox 19.01
Avant Browser
Google Chrome
Google Chromium
Commodo Dragon
Commodo Ice Dragon
Opera
Waterfox
Pale Moon
None will play the video.
What you get is the video screen but unless you have a 240 option (lowest resolution), all you get is a green screen. You hear the talking/music, but there is no picture and all the green screen does is flash. Here's a JPG of the screen. If you put your cursor anywhere on the progress meter (arrow) it will show you a small image of what's supposed to be playing (see below), but the screen remains green and flashes while playing.
Now here is where it gets interesting. When I completely uninstall Adobe Flash Player and then go to a You Tube embedded video (on any site), there first appears a screen that tells you that you need a plug-in - but then within seconds (without downloading anything), the movie starts playing normally.
I then checked my Firewall (Zone Alarm) - turned it off temporarily - that wasn't the problem. Then checked my latest version of Avast AntiVirus software and temporarily turned it off - that was not the problem either. The videos still won't work and remain green unless you use the lowest resolution.
So this new version 11.6.602.171 has become a nightmare - but I'm afraid it messed up my system big time and I don't know what to do to alleviate this.
Crying HELP!!!!!!!!!!   Is there something I'm overlooking. I'm now screwed - way to go Adobe for releasing such a faulty software product.

Sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

Non-HTML5 video
@mem2013 - The Flash Player update service will not impact Flash Player's performance. This is a separate service that runs for just an instant on your system once an hour (if you have automatic updates enabled.) Changing it from manual to automatic shouldn't make any difference.

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:

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.

IPad 3-Audio no longer working Embedded videos

Recently, I have run into the problem of embedded videos playing with no sound. For example, if I click on a video link to YouTube in Facebook the video plays silently. However, the same video will play properly if I open it in a browser. I'm not sure, but I think this began happening before the latest operating system update. BTW, other sounds have randomly been disappearing too like the click when the cover closes.

do a reset all settings [settings/general/reset/reset all settings] no data will be lost
if that doesnt work then a Restore is in order
good luck !
