Capture text in flash player streaming video

is there a program that would be able to capture the text in the steamaing flash player and store it as text file?
thanks

I have the same problem. Its the same issue in Firefox and Chrome but it is fine in IE.
I've already uninstalled all flash aspects, disabled all plugins and removed / re-added firefox.
I get the blue text on certain flash objects and not others. For example. If I try and view the video on this page: http://www.lexus.co.uk/drum-roll/index.aspx
Both the second counter and the Google Ad that drops down is blue and almost unreadabel. But If I go to the YouTube site and watch the same video I dont get the blue. Weird!
Anyone any ideas?

Flash Player streaming video keeps freezing while audio continues

Hi,
I have been having a problem with flash player for a couple of months now. When watching streaming video's the video will freeze for a second every 5-10 seconds constantly, but the audio continues uninterrupted. I have tried everything, enabling/disabling hardware acceleration; reinstalling flash player 11; trying flash player 10; updating the graphics drivers. I have also tried it on 5 different browsers: IE, Firefox, Chrome, Seamonkey (mozilla browser), and Opera. The same problem occurs on all of them. Yesterday I thought I had cracked it when I realised I had several versions of java installed and once I deleted all the old versions flash player worked fine. However, today the problem has started all over again, and for some reason flash player had deleted itself when I turned the computer on this evening.
I have checked my internet connection speed online and am running an average speed of 5Mbps. I have 2.5 GB's of RAM, and a 2.2 GHz AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor. I am using Windows XP. I have never had any problems with flash player on this pc (which I've had for 6 years), and as far as I can tell this problem started occurring a couple of weeks before flash player 11 was released.
I'd be very grateful for any help anyone can give resolving this problem.
Regards,
Chris Perkins

If the player is Silverlight, you'd be able to see that by right clicking the video.
Can you go to Youtube, play any video and then right click it and choose "Take Speed Test". That will take you to a graph where you can see what your download speed is in relation to your ISP, your location and other data. If the black bar is way down compared with others, then I would suspect that something, or somebody else is using your bandwidth. Do you have wireless? If so, change the security code. It may be being used as a wireless hotspot by your neighbours.
You can also play the test video which will show data usage in real time.

Why so I keep getting 'blocked-plug in' message! Very frustrating. Never happened before. related to Adobe Flash Player for videos. Have deleted Adobe and put the new Adobe on, but still get message. Seems others have had this same problem.

Flash player games, video, or audio don't work / Windows

I have been having issues with my flash player for about a week. I tried all the trouble shooting steps under flash player games, video, or audio, but the issue kept occurring. I successfully uninstalled the flash player, then reinstalled it, the issue keeps occurring, so I followed the trouble shooting steps again, and it keeps occuring. For example, I will be watching a video, then it will spontaneously restart, jump to the end, image distortion, or freeze and the flash player stops responding et cetera. I think it might be what is causing an update error on a game that I play as well, where the game launcher is unable to decrypt and deserialize the download content from the server, or maybe something else is causing the flash player, and the game launcher to have these issues. Hopefully someone has some useful tips to resolve this issue that I haven't tried yet. Thank you for your time.

I myself have a problem with firefox after installing this no videos run etc

Flash player plays videos slow and jumpy. Have to put on pause and wait for it to load.

Since the new Flash Player release, videos on Youtube, CNN, FOX will start to load then do a buffering, then play a little more, stop again.
When I hit on pause and let it load fully, it is the only way I can watch the video.
Unless it is a video I really want to watch, the effort takes to long.
It started with the new release of Flash Play on both my desktop with windows XP and new laptop with Windows 7.
I have spent days reviewing this forum and tried all your suggestions.
Are there any new suggestions besides all those that have already been given or do we have to just wait for a new release of Flash Player
to take care of all these bugs that I have been reading that others also have?

Hi eidnolg,
I have great news on my end for this problem.
Researching another solution all started with the email that I received from adninjastrator ( [email protected])
about it might be something with my internet server and HiDef videos.
I phoned Qwest help line and they told me my speeds coming in for okay.
Then I sent a email to a Qwest online tech and explained how it all started about the time of the flash player update on both of my computers.
I told them about all my trouble shooting on your forum.
Within 2 hours of my email, I got a reply back from the Qwest tech.
Quote from Qwest internet provider, email response:
I understand you are having concerns about your speed.
I have spoken to an engineer and we have made some changes.
You should see immediate results.
I went to Youtube, CNN and FOX and they all worked. Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know what programming problem that they fixed, but it worked.
Thanks to adninjastrator for getting me started on checking with my internet server provider.
Thank you eidnolg for all your suggestions for solving this issue.
It was also a learning process for me, doing research on checking for computer problems.

Can Flash Player Recognize Video from Capture Cards?

I would like to have Flash Player recognize the input from an Osprey video captue card. Is such a thing possible?

Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed? I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash 9 streams video encoded in H.264 question

We would like to stream the captured video from cameras to a
browser. Our DVR streams the video using RTP/RTSP and also using
HTTP. I realize the RTMP is what is used in Flash. Could you please
provide us inputs us on how we can display the streaming H.264
video coming from our DVR using Flash player.
Can I receive the video stream encoded in H.264 from a Darwin
Streaming Server (Apple/ Open Source & using RTP/RTSP) and play
it in Flash Player 9?

Hi Dave,
I’m unfamiliar with the Darwin Streaming Server, but I
can recommend using Adobe Flash Media Encoder 2.5 and Adobe Flash
Media Server to stream H.264:

Missing Text in Flash Player

Ive recently had an issue where every flash applications that has text is missing its text, or is somehow invisible. The video quality button in youtube videos has invisible text, and I cannot scroll around videos properly anymore because the button itself seems to cover up play button and the slider. In myspace music players, none of the text shows up. Ive tested this with many facebook appsas well, and an app such as FarmVille has text missing entirely. Checking stats on my band's facebook page, text is missing and eventhe graph itself is invisible, and this is extremely important that I see this information. This seems to be user specific on my computer because, when I log in as a guest, flash works properly. Ive tried to uninstall/reinstall numerous times to no avail. Is there a fix for this or a corrupted file? Thanks!
Im including a picture of what this look likes.

Hi Amotois, On the Flash forum there are not too many users of Mac and that is why you aren't getting a reply. I understand Flash Player, etc. but not Mac.
If you have a good understanding of the files and location of them in your Mac, I could possibly relate what you should
have installed regarding Flash Player. However, if you don't and I don't, then it would be like the blind leading the blind:-)
I also notice others on your thread that have Macs, so that would apply to them also. All I know about a Mac is that there is a library and a finder, so as you can see my knowledge is very limited.
Just thought I'd reply so you would understand why you are not getting a response. What I would suggest to anyone with
Flash Player issues with a Mac, to be sure to put that in your thread when you start one. That way anyone that would be able to help would see that. As it is, they don't know the thread is about Mac and probably pass over it. Just a FYI.
Thanks,

Problem with Arabic text with flash player 10 32bit under linux platforms

Arabic encoding characters do not show correct in the right form at all linux distributions .
note: with windows platforms, it shows arabic characters correctly.
this video contains captions and subtitles, in the attachement two snapshots,
First, show the arabic sentences in the right form with "swfdec mozilla" plugins.
The other, show the arabic words with "adobe flash player 32bit" plugins,
for example: Arabic font enconding cp-1256
the character ب
in the beginning of the word " بـ ".
in the middle " ـبـ "
at the end "ـب"
isolated character "not in word "ب"
the word
كتب in the right form
begin from right with " كـ "
with adobe flash player
ب ت ك
it shows from left to right and use only isolated characters.
I report to adobe and they response
Hi Ghost,
Since you do not have a 64 bit machine please proceed to reinstall the
32 bit edition.
For the current release version of Flash player 10, it does support
Right to left, But you can’t use a text field on stage and have it
work. When authoring the content in Flash cs4, you would have to use
the Flash text engine. more information on that can be found here:

I too am having this problem. On all of my linux distributions, including Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, knoppix 5,1, fedora 8,9,10 flashplayer 10 is broken in the same way. It reports that it cannot find webcam, and the settings dialog refuses to recognize mouse clicks. I've poked around the web quite a bit and have not yet found a solution. I saw the problem mentioned on an adobe bug reporting site and their response was to close the issue saying it wasn't repeatable on their system. I tried to re-open it and my post was deleted without comment (I may have posted incorrectly or something)
Looking here and elsewhere I see that the problem is very common and I don't see any posted bug-fixes, or even acknowledgement that a bug exists. Has adobe lost interest in being cross-platform compatible?

Go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and the Install link should be there. If Adobe Flash Player is not supported such as on the iPad it will tell you.

Flash Player Streaming Windows Vista

My company recently started using Flash Media Server to
stream audio and video content.
My boss just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and now no
streaming content will play at all. Simple Flash animations work,
but nothing that accesses the Flash Media Server for content. I've
uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions of the Flash Player
on his machine but nothing seems to work. I also tried the new
"Reset" feature in IE that is supposed to return it to it's
shipping state and that didn't work. I navigated to the "System 32"
folder and ran the Flash Updater EXE. I downloaded and installed
all of the available updates through "Windows Update".
I also tested Flash Objects that stream video on Adobe.com
and they don't play either. Has anyone heard of this happening or
know what I need to do to fix it? I don't know if this is a bug in
the Flash Player or with Windows Vista.

WHY do you need an older version?
I have 13 on my Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine. It works fine.

IPhone Alternative to Adobe Flash Player for video

Is there an alternative to view video on iPhone. Whenever I want to click on and see a video it says need to upload Adobe and Adobe Flash Player not available for iPhone. Thank you for an help. Kevin

Flash still has it's uses, but the need for Flash due to lack of any usable alternatives is certainly diminishing. And many sites are using Flash for things for which there are practical, non-proprietary, alternatives such as the technologies in HTML5.
What irritates me are sites that use Flash only for doing fancy text. That's just the developer being too lazy to write CSS.

Text in Flash Player looks crap only on my computer

Hi there, i have a news section on my website (not yet live)
that has been designed in flash. The rest of the text on the site
is in HTML. The text in the flash section looks really bad on my
screen. Some of the text is thick and blurry and some is thin and
none of it looks like the HTML text (although it is all arial).
After some testing on both Mac and PC i have discovered it only
looks like this on my computer! Flash Player works fine on other
websites. Does anyone know if there are some local Flash Player
settings i can change or if there is anything else i am missing?
Obviously this is only a problem when i am showing my website
to someone on my computer (a possible scenario as i am a designer
and it contains my portfolio).
My computer is a Mac Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz PowerPC 1GB DDR
SDRAM
Browser is Safari and i have Flash Player 9 installed (i have
tried uninstalling and reinstalling)
Thanks

Hi tu meke,
With Flash you can embed the fonts using the Property
Inspector. For example, select Arial and choose Embed and Auto
Fill. This will guarantee that the fonts look the same on all
systems, however it will add to the file size.
If you would prefer not to embed the fonts for some reason,
here is another thought. The difference that you are noticing may
be due to the Fonts Smoothing Style selected on your Macintosh.
Open System Preferences and select Appearance. At the bottom, you
can change the Font smoothing style. Try changing this setting and
see if it helps.

Problem with displaying text in flash player

I have flash player 10.2.152.26 and opera 11.01 installed.
The problem is that text in flash is diplayed in an awful way like this:
http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/6918/alljo.png
And when i choose "settings" the window appears, but it doesn't react when I click on it.
Can anyone help, please?

Thanks for answering
So you have IE8 and the hardware acceleration was able to be UNchecked and FP(Flash Player) is working properly with IE.
In IE flash works fine with any settings.
When I unchecked "Hardware acceleration" checbox in IE it also became unchecked in opera, but nothing changed in opera's behavior.
When you don't use the Aero it's displayed correctly but the settings do not work. What settings are you referring to?
It's about flash settings in Opera
With aero: http://img443.imageshack.us/i/settingsh.png/
Without aero: http://img816.imageshack.us/i/settingswoaero.png/
In both cases the settings dialog is displayed like in the screenshots above, but when I click on checkbox/tabs/'close' button in it nothing happens. I can't change any settings or close it (dialog disappers only after reloading page)
Just to sum up everything mentioned above:
- In IE flash works fine regardless of any settings
- In Opera text is displayed wrong when using windows aero, and without aero theme it's displayed correct
- I didn't manage to make settings dialog work in Opera
- When I change some flash settings in IE, they are also changed in Opera
Now Flash Player works thru the browser, do you have perhaps have an addon that is conflicting? What Anti-Virus do you have Installed? Any addons of that?
I have 7 extensions installed in Opera, I've disabled all of them, but nothing changed.
I use Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, disabling it also gives nothing.

Invisible Text in Flash Player on Financial Website

Just spent an hour on the phone with one of my financial sites on which I can no longer see some important text. They tried everything, none of which worked, and concluded it must be incompatibility of the adobe flash and Snow Leopard. It started right after installation of Snow Leopard. I've since learned that others have this problem too. Any suggestions on how to get this fixed? What can I do?

It's great that you've isolated the problem to the User account.
You can usually just drag a plist or sub-folder of preferences to your desktop and an application will replace the missing preference file automatically as needed. You can delete the files when the problem is fixed.
In your User folder which is often represented in a path as a ~ character there are several Flash related locations.
~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player
You can dump the cache to see if it's causing a problem.
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player
Here, there are several folders like #Security, #Shared Objects, etc. You can move these folders to the desktop and see if the problem goes away.
~/Library/Preferences/Flash 10 MRU
Move the file to the desktop.
If you move the folders to your desktop, you could put them back if desired.
If you remove all of these references from your machine and have to reinstall flash, that's a good thing, but not a usual occurrence for programs like this.
You might have other preference files that I don't have on my system, and I might have older files laying around in mine because they haven't been noticed as a problem. Typically these files are so small, that they don't matter to anyone.
Hope this helps. Preference files can be challenging to isolate.
