Cannot Play flv file

Hope I am in the right forum, could not find anything in
Premier Elements forum.
Exported flv file from PE, however cannot play. I double
click on flv file to run it; but it is not associated with any
application.
I have tried all I know and cannot get file to play. Guess I
don't know much ;-(

Hi Jimmie, I'm having the same thing happen to me so sorry
can't help. I recently did a website for my employer, without any
prior knowledge of DW (using CS3) or coding, I just know
Illustrator and some basic Photoshop and Flash (just enough to get
by and he knows this). I used xhtml transitional and a CSS layout
provided with DW. When I validate the page inDW, I get the "embed"
error. I have put the actionscript file in the root of the local
and remote sites. SWF file won't play from the remote site on my
machine in Safari or IE7 but will play from the local site when
hitting F12.
My employer is hosted on Yahoo business and he set up a user
account and password. I "put" the files to his site and they NEVER
show up. I've also tried putting them there with Filezilla (I think
its called) same thing, they never showed up. So, now he's paying
anohter girl who just completed a school course on DW and so I have
let go of the reins on that. So, I paid for a site for myself with
MarbleHost and voila, everything works except the SWF file. Also,
the &(*! Spry navigation bar is a BEAST. Seems to work
sometimes and sometimes not. DW Help seems to suck.
I have searched for hours on many forums and everyone seems
to assume we all know code. lol.
I know this stuff is complicated and there is a learning
curve. I'm a hard worker and don't mind putting in the time - its
this chasing my tail around in circles that I can't stand. Can
anyone point me to a good beginner's book? on coding. I already
have the DWCS3 Bible and its not really very good for me, as I like
step by step tutorials. I also have the DW CS3 missing manual which
is ok, but didn't really go into great depth about the Spry menu
bars (had to google that one and came up with a great chapter from
a book by David Powers at Friends of Ed website.
I'd appreciate it. Sorry if I have an attitude, I'm just
ready to pull my hair out frustrated.

Flash Player 10.2.152.32 won't play FLV file

I seem to be having similar problems to several others here.
I am running Windows XP, SP3, 32 bit on Dell Pentium 4, 2Gigs of RAM, 3.0Gig HD.
Since the March 8, 2011 update I have not been able to play FLV files. Previous to the upgrade, I was able to play these same files.
I have checked - Shockwave Flash Object (VS 8.0.24.0) is apparently installed and enabled, although it DOES NOT show up in the file list (that I can tell at least) in the System32/Macromedia folder. It may be called something else perhaps? These are the files that show as updated on March 8, 2011.
Flash10n.ocx - Active X Control
FlashInstall - text file
FlashUtil10n_ActiveX - application
FlashUtil10n_ActiveX.dll - application extension
Files with previous dates are:
flashplayer.xpt - XPT file, install - text document - dated Feb 17, 2010, NPSWF32.dll - dated Nov. 20, 2007, and NPSWF32_FlashUtil - also dated Nov. 20, 2007.
I can play stuff from YouTube. I am able to see the Flashy thing turn on the link you supplied to others here.
My security is set to "Medium". I have had NO virus issues, and run a VERY tight anti-virus protocol with AVG, AdAware and SpyBot all active, updated either daily (automatically) or weekly (manually).
Should I uninstall and then re-install, so the SFO will be included, or is there a way to retrieve the (apparently) missing Shockwave Flash Object file on its own? This issue has now taken up my entire evening, and I am ready to PERMANENTLY delete Flash from my life!
Thanks,

Hi, you don't need to scream at me. I've been on the Forum 12 hours today and 12 hours yesterday helping users with their problems. This past week I had over 1,000 email notifications in my email account and 90% were from the Flash Player Forum.
And this:Let's try again..........arrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Please don't insult me and act like I don't know what I'm doing or talking about.
The Shockwave Flash Object is not supposed to be in the System32 ...Flash file location. It is never there. It is always in the addons of the browser, it must be since it is the Flash Player Control. Without it and without it being the correct version(which yours is not) Flash Player cannot work! I repeat, Flash Player is a browser plugin and works thru the browser.
The fact that you have a 32bit OS doesn't tell me anything about what browsers you use. I have a 32bit OS, but I use IE6 on one and the other PC I use IE8.
I know you checked some of my posts, I'm not so dumb that I don't recognize my own writing.
Yes, you need to Uninstall and Install again, that is the only way you are going to have the correct SFO Installed.
If you'd tone it down some, I may give you the best way to do that in order to be successful in that.
However, it won't be tonight. Maybe you'll be in a better mood tomorrow.

You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

Cannot play MP3 files in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi
Apogogies if this has been asked before.
I have an embedded MP3 file on one of my DWCS4 pages but when I try to play it from the Properties Inspector I get the message "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type".
The sound file plays OK in Firefox and IE but I would like to be able to test it in DW. I have the currrent version of Apple QuickTime Pro installed.
I am using both Windows XP and Vista with the same problem.
Is there a plug I can download for DW only in order to play these files without resorting to converting the MP3 to another format.
Any help would be much appreicated.
Thanks
George

Yes but I did exactly what I accused you of doing so it was really bad!

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file
How do I fix this?

That would probably be a question best taken up in on a site for Windows support questions. Not knowing anything about the movie you're trying to play, all I can suggest is to confirm that the format of the movie you wish to play is supported in your version of WMP. If it isn't, you'll either need to convert the movie or use some other player software.
Regards.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer

I can not find solution to the issue "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer" while attempting to play the file with *.wmv extension. Some computer fail in spite of said missing codec
being present according the windrows media player in Windows 7 box

If Rashid's link does not resolve it... consider the below:
A) As of this writing, the codec for GoToMeeting webinar recordings ("G2M4" codec) was only mentioned in *one* web page, of about 10 Microsoft web pages I read, to resolve this problem (and that codec is not included, yet, in their diagnostic tool),
so if you're trying to play a GoToMeeting webinar, simply get the codec for it from their site: http://www.GoToMeeting.com/codec
B) If Windows Media Player (WMP) will not even open the file, you won't be able to get the 4-character codec's name (like "G2M4") from WMP. But VLC's media player will tell you that code, even when it fails to run the video.... and then you can
search the internet for it.
C) The problem sometimes is not actually a missing codec. Other things that have helped others, some from:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-pictures/the-windows-media-player-12-could-not-play-the-wma/bb823460-44df-4e8d-ba2c-42ec0e111e5a?page=3
(1) running the System File Checker (SFC.exe),
(2) opening WMP first (running both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions) then opening the file from inside them,
(3) confirming that WMP was the file association for WMV files,
(4) Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound, selecting my audio device, and looking for a "5.1" setting (I didn't have one), to change to "stereo",
(5) checking Tools\Options\Devices\Speakers\Properties\Speaker Properties\AdvancedPlayback\ Speakers /HP\Properties\Advanced\Default Format, to select "CD or DVD Quality" (if that setting appears for your device),
Good luck,

C7: How to play .FLV files on Nokia C7

Can I ask how do you play .FLV files on Nokia C7? I searched for FLV player in the Ovi Store and nothing is returned, whereas on Android Market loads of FLV players are available.

I couldn't find an FLV player either. But you can download freemake video converter from internet. Its really a very good converter and I transfer my vids to C7 only after converting to C7 resolution because it makes the processor to do less work. If you transfer an HD vid directly to phone it will play fine but will cost u battery life. (more processor usage)

How to create a .f4m manifest files to play .FLV files

I typically use .f4v files for my on demand playback media files, however I converted a .mov to a .flv file... How do I create a .f4m and .m3u8 manifest file that plays .flv files? Below is the code I normally use for the .f4m and .m3u8 files. This works great with .f4v files. I also included my player code. What am I doing wrong? The only difference is I'm using a .flv that I didn't use the f4vpp cleaner on.. That shouldn't give me the parse error I'm getting.

to create a file in appl server you have to use open dataset and close data set..
see the sample code
REPORT zanid_test MESSAGE-ID zz .
parameters: FULLPATH(128) obligatory lower case
 default 'E:\usr\sap\put\file.txt'.
*you change the appl sever path as per your config.
DATA : BEGIN OF list_asc OCCURS 0,
 msg(300) TYPE c,
 END OF list_asc.
start-of-selection.
*---populating data
list_asc-msg = 'abcdefghijkl'. "your sample data
append list_asc.
list_asc-msg = 'faagoaagiagig'. "your sample data
append list_asc.
OPEN DATASET fullpath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
LOOP AT LIST_ASC.
 TRANSFER LIST_ASC-MSG TO fullpath.
 CLEAR LIST_ASC-MSG.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET fullpath.
now if you go to appl server , you will find that file in that specified path..
to create a directory yu can go to transaction AL11 and click the 'konfigurieren'button, you then you can specify the directory attibutes to create a directory
and to load a file from your loacl pc to appl server you can use transaction CG3Y also, instead of the abap code.
plz rewrad points if it helps you.

Cannot play m4a files

I installed gnome music (had installed it already but reinstalled my system) and now it cannot play m4a files. I dont know why before i reinstalled arch it had played them?
Does anyone know a package i have to install, i cannot remeber if i did so.

I'm sure you've found a solution by now, and I'm not sure if this will help?! Have you tried (with TAG editor) to change the the format from "UNKNOWN" to "Audio MPEG-4 AAC LC" ?

I cannot play .mov files (from iPhone) in Premiere Elements 10. Is there a solution?
It used to work fine. I wonder if the problem has something to do with the recent iPhone update. Is there any Premiere update I can download?

Well, if it used to work... and then you updated your iphone and now it does not work... that seems to ME like the iphone update changed something in the files
But, exactly what is inside your mov files?

IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

I cannot play mp3 file on itunes after i recover it from an external hdd

hey guy'z i need a little help here
i have a large mp3 file from an old 2TB which had a problem and then recovered and transfered to a new ext hdd.
now after the recovery was done and i'm trying to play my music on the itunes it wont play
any solution guys?
and another thing is the wma file why i cant i play it also on my itunes?

iTunes cannot play WMA files. Use a conversion program such as Switch or EasyWMA to convert the WMA to MP3 or AAC.
For your problem MP3, make sure it is a valid file by playing it in another player such as QuickTime. If it plays there but not in iTunes, then it needs to be cleaned up with a program such as MP3 Validator.

Leopard cannot play .avi files (MJPG format)

After installing Leopard, I cannot play .avi files (MJPG format) using Quicktime. These files work without a hitch on my other Mac that has Tiger. I've tried Perian.org, DIVX, VLN player, Windows media player, WMV player etc. Something went awry after installing Leopard.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Re-install the Flip4Mac QuickTime Component then open System Preferences/Flip4Mac, click the Player Tab and check the "Open AVI files" box. Restart your browser and try again.
