DivX Web Player not appearing in Safari 5.1

Hey there!
Just a few days back I decided to go back to Safari (version 5.1, build 7534.48.3). However, the DivX Pro Web Player (version 2.1.2.264) refuses to show up. No matter the conditions.
I have tried disabling all of my Safari extensions. I have uninstalled Adblock as recommended by someone around the forums. I do have the latest version of Perian (1.2.3) installed. I have tried temporarily moving a few QuickTime components as recommended by Perian (http://perian.org/#support). I have tried disabling the DivX Plus Web Player HTML 5 <video> 2.1.2.126 alone and re-enabling it. I have tried several versions of the DivX Web Player (1.4, 6 and the latest) I have tried everything mentioned above in both 32bit and 64bit mode. I have restarted my computer a bunch of times between the changes, just in case it would make a difference.
It works perfectly fine within Mozilla Firefox (version 5.0.1) and Google Chrome (version 13.0.782.107 beta).

Mozilla Firefox (5.0.1)
Google Chrome (13.0.782.107 beta)
DivX Web Player (2.1.2.264)
DivX Safari Extension (2.1.2.126)
Perian (1.2.3)
Any help whatsoever is highly appreciated. I realise this may not be a direct issue of Safari, but could rather be an issue of the DivX Web Player, thus me posting this both here and through a ticket to the DivX support.
Thank you very much,
Chris.

I have the same issue since updating to Lion / Safari 5.1!
The plugin worked fine before in 32-bit Mode.
There's nothing on the internet on this issue altough it seems this problem occurs on any Lion machine. I have encountered the same problem on a new MacBookAir that came with Lion preinstalled. So I'm guessing it has nothing to do with updating from Snow Leopard to Lion.
Any help greatly appreciated!!!

DivX Web Player will not install in Chrome

Hey,
     I hope this is the correct forum, if not, if someone would redirect me I would appreciate it.
I can't get gifs to play in chrome. They work fine in Safari and firefox. I keep getting this error message: "DivX Web Player is required to display some elements on this page."
I have downloaded and installed DivX repeatedly, rebooted repeatedly, still get same problem.
Problem started after my latest OS upgrade.
I'm running:

I apologize for jamming everthing out here in the middle, but when I pasted my info from TextEdit, it inexplicably pushed most of it
off the page to the left and the only way to fix it was by centering the text. Another weird thing this Mac does.

If a site offering a movie or other media free that is otherwise a "pay-for-it" product and they gave you the link to download a player, they likely gave you a non-working version of DIxV along with some malware/adware that will nton make your Mac happy.
The first thing to try is getting DivX directly from their official web site:
http://www.divx.com
If that gets the movie playing, you'll need to check for malware the other download may have injected. The easiest way is with this tool developed by one of our most valued contributors here:

It will politely remove most serious adware/malware that is commonly injected from "free" media sites.

DivX Web Player and Safari

Hello,
I've been throug so many forums trying to solve this problem, but nothing seemed to work. So I hope someone can solve it here.
The problem: *DivX movies won't load in Safari.*
Steps i've taken so far:
Using Safari 4.0.5, running in 32-bit mode:
1) Deleted DivX-player and safari plug-in using the DivX Uninstaller.
2) Deleted Shockwave Flash Player using Flahs Player uninstaller (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash)
3) Installed RealPlayer SP (http://uk.real.com/realplayer/mac/)
4) Installed Flip4Mac WMV player (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx)
5) Installed Perian (http://perian.org/)
6) Installed Shockwave Flash Player (http://get.adobe.com/nl/flashplayer/)
7) Deleted all files relating to DivX in Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime, since Perian already has them.
8) Enabled plugins in Safari preferences
9) Repaired permissions
10) Restarted my computer
According to a topic I found (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1299922&tstart=0), this would do. Perian would play all embedded DivX movies. However, it didn't. Safari told me the plugin could not be found. I don't even know Perian did anything. Should there be any sign of Perian when it's working? Or is it invisible?
So I continued trying:
11) Installed DivX 7 (containing the DivX Web plugin) (http://www.divx.com)
12) Relaunched Safari
According to other users who responded in the thread i mentioned above, this could solve the problem. With me, it didn't. Now Safari does find the plugin, but it won't load the video. It seems the video is buffering, but at 99% it stops. When I try again, it stops at 98%. And so on ... Once, I got only sound and no video ... very strange.
So I continued:
13) I deleted DivX 7 using the DivX uninstaller.
14) I installed an older version of the DivX Web Plugin
Did not work. Safari didn't find the plugin.
Then I noticed Safari 5 was released, so I hoped the problem would not occur in Safari 5, but it did.
However, some things have changed. In the mean time i've re-installed the DivX 7 Web Plugin and deleted all files related to DivX in Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime (I assume Perian still has them and works with Safari 5 as well?)
When I now try to play a DivX video in Safari, one time it won't buffer. 0% is where it stops. However, after a few minutes I now get this alert from DivX Plus Web Player: "The file you are trying to play has failed to finish downloading and can no longer play.". The other time it does buffer, but like before it stops at 99%, 98%, ... DivX Plus Web Player gives the same message. In both cases the video does seem to load. The grey bar turns darker. But when I try to play it, it doesn't do anything.
Funny though, while I'm typing, I'm once again trying to watch a DivX video. It buffered till 99%, while the grey bar was loading. Then the error message came. The grey bar was still loading though. When it was finished, I scrolled through it and now I hear only sound of the video, no image. Weird ...
Many people say the DivX plugin works fine in Mozilla Firefox, but I get the same problem. So I guess the problem must be linked to the plugin?
Anyway, I hope someone can help me with this. It's really frustrating not to be able to view some videos coded in DivX online.
Besides, I also have problems with some radio streams in Safari. ASX streams won't load ... Someone said to run Safari with Rosetta, but that didn't help. Does anyone know a solution for this one too?
Thanks in advance!
Grts,
Philippe
PS: I hope my English wasn't too bad for you to understand.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. After some more experimenting, i finally got it to work ... However, not every embedded DivX movie will play.
I just deleted another codec in the Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime folder. (One of the codecs mentioned on http://perian.org/#support was still in the folder). Before I had only deleted the files whose name has "DivX" in it.
I did NOT install the DivX Web Player plugin.
Now some DivX videos play, some don't... So maybe I should re-install the DivX Web Plugin? But the Web Plugin never worked for me ... If I re-install it, won't I go back to where I started?

Divx web player keeps crashing all browsers; IE, Firefox, Google Chrome.

The Divx web player stopped working for me a while back. I run Microsoft XP HE SP3 on a Toshiba Satellite M55-S139 1.87 GB RAM 1.60 GHz Proc.
I've tried installing and uninstalling the browsers. I've tried updating/downgrading versions of divx. I've even done some registry edits a while back that seemed to work once I restarted the computer and tried it once but then after a moment of playing it crashed again.
Has anyone had this ongoing issue with divx web player like I have? The regular divx player and vlc can play divx but when I attempt to stream divx formated files from any site I get a browser crashing occurance every time for every browser. It always appears to be a certain dll issue in the send error report; most of the time to msvcr80.dll.
Let me know any additional info you may need to solve this.

Firefox Divx Web Player - Buffering 0%, Divx Web Player it prompts "Buffering: 0%" without ever playing content.

Issue Description:
For as long as I can remember I've been unable to play videos using the DivX Web Player. The video appears and connects however it prompts "Buffering: 0%" without ever streaming anything. I've tried to resolve the issue by uninstalling Firefox, Shark007's Codec Pack, DivX Web Player, and Firefox Addons and having them re-installed with no luck. These videos do not work in Chrome either however they do work in Internet Explorer. DivX Avi formats do play on my desktop using Windows Media Player and the DivX Plus Player.

Hi everyone,
Since it is currently not possible to play divx content using the newest version of the divx web player, I've been using the VLC media player browser plugin. The VLC browser plugin allows you to play divx content on the web; however, it does not load in the same manner as a traditional divx web player. To use it, you need to double click the video and move it into full screen.

DivX Web Player is no longer working.

DivX Plus Web Player HTML 5 [video] is incompatible with Firefox 4.0b8. <=(disable reason)
So i can no longer stream my fav movies. Also, when i click play, sometimes my trafic bar goes crazy like it's downloading from the source, but i have no image or sound just like the divx web player is crashed.
So please can you help me? The web player worked on FF 3 and on Opera...
Also, Bitdefender Antiphishing Toolbar, Cooliris and some Microsoft Framework stuff are incompatible with Firefox 4.

This problem must be huge...
IF you just did the ver 4 upgrade a little while ago, stop and use the windows restore utility to restore your computer to a restore point before the ver 4 upgrade.... You will not lose data, and perhaps reverse setting changes that the ver 4 upgrade does that can't be undone... No one has recommended this yet!!

Text not appearing in Safari, but is in Firefox?

Hello there,
I've recently completed a webpage using Adobe GoLive. The thing is, any of the text in the pages will not appear in Safari, but does in Firefox, IE etc. I've changed about the character encoding, but nothing's worked for me.
Another funny thing is, the if I make any of the text a hyperlink, then it does display in Safari (just the linked bit).
I'm completely stumped!
You can see my problem here: http://www.ireland-kilkenny.com
I created part of the site using iWeb:

I'm really stuck for a solution to this!

Why is Safari so particular about coding standards, when other browsers will display the page with no problems at all?
Safari is one of the younger browsers out there and so the developers concentrated on the core established standards - as time goes on they slowly add more of the 'quirks' that other browsers allow website designers to get away with
WebKit is the core rendering engine of Safari and the developers have a website that shows what they've been working on. They also let you download a version of Safari that has been built with this WebKit to let you test out if various bugs have been fixed:

Why are Java and Video Player updates appearing in Safari

Today these fake Java and Video Player update pop ups started appearing in Safari 6.2.4, in OS 10.8.5. The Java updates say I need version 13 which doesn't exist and the video player pop ups are gray with a red square that resemble the Adobe colors. These are popping up on almost every page I load in Safari.
I've looked in the Launch Daemons folder and that other Launch folder that keeps being recommended in the post that says I don't need to download anything and there is nothing out of the ordinary there. How do I stop these pop ups?

The update alerts are indeed fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they may be the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked.
Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. If the fake update alerts stop, see below. Otherwise, ask for instructions.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

Flash audio player not playing in safari (it shows but does not play).

Basically i own an internet radio station and for some reason the web player (flash player) no longer plays in Safari since i upgraded to OS X Lion, was working before but not now, it does show the player it just does not play any audio, however it does work in Google Chrome.. any ideas why its no longer working since installing Lion??

The error is "Internet Explorer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then when I click on the Windows solutions icon, it says:
Adobe Flash Player has stopped working properly.
To troubleshoot this problem, follow these steps:
Click to go online and run the Flash Player uninstaller
In the File Download dialog box, click Run, and then follow the instructions to uninstall flash player. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click to go online and install the Flash Player update
I've done both these things for 2-3 days now. Nothing works.

Authorware Web Player Not Recognized

So I'm trying to use an online eLearning page for school and
I'm supposed to have the Authorware web player IOT use it. I
download it from the Adobe web site and install it w/o any
problems. I go back to the site and it's still not working. The
site also has a test page which checks your browser to make sure it
meets all the requirements. Well, everything is good except for
Authorware. The test page says that it isn't installed. I
uninstalled authorware, then installed it again and the site still
won't work. I even went to the Adobe page which tests its web
player and I get the error message: "The page “Macromedia -
Test Authorware Web Player” has content of MIME type
“application/x-authorware-map”, but you don’t
have a plug-in installed for this MIME type." It then directs back
to the Adobe page where I originally downloaded the web player in
the first place. I'm using a MacBook with Safari v3.2.1 and OS X
Leopard 10.5.6 HELP!!!!!

"I'm using a MacBook with Safari v3.2.1 (Browser) and OS X
Leopard 10.5.6 (OS)" The link that you provided is the one that I
have been using. When I click on it the download begins and saves
the file to my "Downloads" folder as a stuffit file. I then click
on this and stuffit opens it. I now get a file that says
"Authorware 7.0 Complete Install". I click on this and the install
begins. I click through the screens that come up and at the end it
says that the install was successful. Everything is installed here:
Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins >
AuthorwareWebPlayer-PPC Folder. I then try the adobe authorware web
player test page (
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/authorwareonly.html)
and when it loads I get an error message that says:
[Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in.
The page “Macromedia - Test Authorware Web
Player” has content of MIME type
“application/x-authorware-map”, but you don’t
have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be
available on this page:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveAuthorware
Do you want to open the page?]
This is the same page that I originally downloaded the player
from to begin with. As far as admin rights go, this is my personal
computer and there is only the one account, from which I've
installed many programs from before, and have never had any
problems. I have tried multiple browsers, Safari, Mozilla Firefox,
Opera, Internet Explorer:Mac (old version for Macs before Safari
was released) and have had the exact same problem with them all. I
have also gone to the elearning page after every try to see if will
work, and it also says that Authorware is not installed and
therefore cannot play the course.

Serious delay in loading web pages, not network, but safari issue

After my last software update, I am experiencing delays in loading web pages, 30sec-minutes on safari. This occurs rather frequently, I'd say about 20%-30% of the times I visit certain web pages.
One example web location I noticed this happening is (but its not the only one):
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caqc0363
Once I visit this page, sometime it loads fine, other times it takes forever (the load indicator stays on in the tab). Also, once the delay occurs, opening up new widows or new tabs to ANY other address are also delayed. It seem like all of safari is stuck waiting for responses. (safari itself is still running ok, it is responsive and there is NO spinning wheel of death).
It is not a network issue. Often while waiting for safari to load, I launch firefox, visit the same page and read, meanwhile Safri still loading, even after trying to refresh...I also do other network tasks, ssh, ftp, email with no problem.

Thanx! The numbers didn't help me anything, but your post reminded me: I found the DNS numbers that my ISP had provided that I had put in the Ethernet TCP/IP section in Network Preferences, and just copied and pasted them into my airport TCP/IP section. Worked great!

Flash player not working on safari; any reasons why?

I just recently noticed that my safari flash player isn't working. As i was trying to watch some youtube videos, it keeps saying "Blocked-Plug in" when i continued to click on it, it then asks me to get the lastest flash player which i did. Even after downloading, redownloading and repeating the process, it still won't allow me to watch any videos. I've found some comments in here from the previous year with people who had experience the same things but their techniques aren't working either. Im just getting really frustrated and need some help. Fast

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

"Allow AutoFill even for websites that request passwords not be saved." not appearing in Safari 7.0.3 prefs

A December 2, 2013 Apple FAQ says that you can go to Mavericks:Safari:Preferences:Passwords and select "Allow AutoFill even for websites that request passwords not be saved."
However, this checkbox does not appear.
The features and management of iCloud Keychain are causing concern among users.
I share these. For example, today I chose to let Safari produce a complex password for a Chase credit card site. Yet, when I went back to that site to sign in, I could not. Nor was that password in the list on Safari!
This is not good. For iCloud Keychain to be trusted, it must be very reliable, and we must be allowed to manage it.
I was forced to reset the password for Chase, and had to refuse Safari's offer to use their suggested password (as I would possibly never see it again!)

Safari version 7.0.4
That option is no more available.
