E51 - Streaming Video on some websites not playing

Hi,
The video on some websites (like youTube) work fine on my E51.
However, on other I just get a little icon, which does nothing when I click it. For example:
*Link removed - Non-English website*
Do I need to install some other browser or update settings ?
Thanks,
John.

I am unable to play certain videos as well.
I have installed flip4mac, and it shows as a plugin on Safari.
I have installed WMV.
I have installed JAVA.
The video I want to play, from tv station KWTX.COM, looks like this:
javascript:playVideo('1245766',%20'Heart%20Health%2002.15.07',%20'v',%20'Health' ,%20'95167',%20'Health',%20'fvCatNo=&backgroundImageURL=',%20'ww2.KWTX.com');
I'm stumped. I don't know what to try next.
Any help appreciated.

Problem viewing streaming video in some wifi networks, but not others

When I am at work (university), I can not view YouTube videos or video streaming from news sites such as cnn mobile on my ipod touch 2g.
<m.cnn.com/videos.jsp?ckey-cnn)06#__1_>
When I called Apple support, they had me reset-restore. I still had the problem. I went to the Apple store Genius bar and the problem no longer existed, the videaos downloaded and played from both sites!
But at my diner and at work, I get the message, "This movie could not be played" in a popup box with an OK button. The same message appears if I use the YouTube application. I click on any video, and the same popup appears. In Cnn the popup is preceded by a shaded capital Q that looks like the blue Quicktime Q; in Youtube the pupup is preceded by a YouTube icon in gray with the "Tube" surrounded by the rounded rectangle, their icoon...
At the Apple store the popup never appeared, and the videos downloaded and played.
I have no trouble playing movies I have downloaded from iTunes.
I did not have this problem when I initially got my iPod Touch, and I think it appeared after one of the last two system upgrades, but I am not sure.
I am curious that it the problem happens at two places, my diner and at work.
The speed of my wireless work network, as judged by the ipod app speed test is 9915 kbps download and 6971 kbps upload, so plenty fast.
The first time I noticed this issue was with the application "At Bat Lite" which also won't play video highlights at work.
I do not have WiFi at home
Any thoughts about what would cause this lack of functionality apparantly only at some networks but not others?
Oh, one more piece of data: at work a Macbook will play YouTube both on ethernet and using wifi...
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions,
Paul

It seems I have two networks available at work, one is behind our firewall, and I login to it. This is the network that I can't view streaming video. There is also a "Guest" network that I don't need to login to. This one works with the YouTube and the news site videos.
Thus, I conclude there is a setting that WiFi network administrators can invoke that specifically can block streaming video on some protocols (whatever the ipod touch uses) and not others (whatever the Macbook uses). But the same router hardware supplying the Guest network does not block these protocols. Presumably this has to do with security on one side of the firewall(?)
Anyway, apparently outside of the WiFi controls available in the ipod touch settings.
Weird...

Some videos on YouTube will not play

As of a few days ago some of the videos on YouTube will not play I tried IE(I stopped using after it ask for an update) ,but then I had to use google chome and I hate it, but the videos played. Its not every video, and some times it's the same video I just played not to long ago. I fear that soon I might not be able to view most videos on YouTube. I cleared my cache, made sure everything it up-to-date, although Silverlight-plugin will not update, no matter what I try to do( I hope that is not the reason, because Silverlight won't up-date.) I'm am not sure when this problem first arose, at first I though it was Google/YouTube having issues, but it seems like Google's browser works fine on the videos that do not play on Firefox. What can I do, I need Firefox to work, I can't bare to move to another browser.

A few other thoughts:
(1) For a video where this happens, does the problem persist if you try reloading a few times using Ctrl+Shift+r?
(2) Is there any difference in how you connect to Youtube between your browsers? You can check Firefox's connection setting here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
The default is "Use system proxy settings" but you also could try "No proxy".
(3) Have you received any SSL-related errors, such as pages reporting a certificate problem and requiring you to make an exception, or missing styles or functionality on secure sites?
(4) If you opted in to the html5 player, is there a pattern of the problem videos being in one format or the other (HTML5 player vs. Flash player)? https://www.youtube.com/html5

Videos from some websites do not load.

Videos from some websites no longer load on my Macbook Air even though they did load until recently. The two sites where I have noticed the problem are Fine Woodworking and the Weather Channel. YouTube, news channels, and other sites work normally. The problem occurs with both Firefox and Safari, suggesting that it is not a browser problem. I have turned off the Mac firewall, and I have disabled AdBlock, though both of those were turned on when the videos used to load and run. Turning them off made no difference. I also have checked that my software is up to date (browsers, Flash player, operating system), and it is. I am not quite sure when the problem started, but it is quite recent. I am unaware of any change I have made to the computer, except perhaps installing some automatic software updates. Everything else seems to work normally.

"The problem occurs with both Firefox and Safari, suggesting that it is not a browser problem".
Anti virus software installed?
Any apps such as Little Snitch, MacKeeper, or CleanMyMac?

Why do some podcasts not play on my touch?

I download podcasts with Itunes. When I sync to my 1st Gen Ipod Touch most play fine, but some will not play on the touch. I get a message that there are some podcasts that will not play on my touch. They are all downloaded with Itunes and in the MP4 format. There are other shows in the same "sieres" that play just fine. But some episodes don't sync. They play OK in Itunes. How do I get them to sync to my touch?

Hi AC,
Thanks for that.
I have Apple TV 1 & only use Handbrake.
An example of 2 problem videos:
High Society
MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 1.09GiB
1 Video stream: AVC
1 Audio stream: AAC
Encoded date: UTC
Tagged Date: UTC
Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
Video 1290kps, 720*416 (16:9), at 25 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames)
The Marine
MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 1.53GiB
1 Video stream: AVC
1 Audio stream: AAC
Encoded date: UTC 2011-11-29
Tagged Date: UTC 2011-11-29
Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
Video 2222kps, 1280*688 (1:860), at 23.976 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames)
To a layman like me, these specs look similair to specs of my non-problem videos.
e.g.
The Pawnbroker
MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 764 MiB
1 Video stream: AVC
1 Audio stream: AAC
Encoded date: UTC
Tagged Date: UTC
Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
Video 794kps, 512*384 (4:3), at 23.976 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 2 Ref Frames)

Why no streaming video from any website while running Ubuntu 11?

I am running Ubuntu 11.o4 on an AMD 64x2 System with 1TB of memory. I have tried several movie players but cannot get streaming video on ANY website. Any suggestions for a fix? It also seems to be the case with other browsers as well as FireFox (I have several on my system).

It sounds like you have flash installed.
Anyways, are you trying to play the videos in browser or in an external player? Because the Mplayer and VLC plugins wont play flash video in browser even though they can play .flv files and while Totem/Xine/Movie Player can play Youtube clips directly, it can't do it at the moment due to Google playing with their servers to keep non browsers from accessing the site. It happens every few weeks-months, have to get an updated version of Totem to play it.
Now as for Flash, Adobe's is the only official version, and the only one that's reliable for playback, but as we all know it's terribly slow, insecure and crash happy.. You can try Gnash or Lightspark as they are reverse engineered OSS Flash plugins.
Alternatively you can try the Youtube the HTML5 beta https://www.youtube.com/html5
And add marinos35's Youtube WebM search plugin http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=Youtube+WebM
Been Flash free for a while now, can't say I miss it.
You mean 1Gb of ram or 1Tb of HDD? 1Tb of ram would cost a fortune and not be compatible with any Athlon64 X2 mobo, a quad socket Opteron board maybe...

Hi i'm using firefox nightly after today's flash player update im facing this error "style error #2134" when playinf videos on some websites tell me about inf

Hi, i'm using firefox nightly.
After today's flash player update im facing this error "style error #2134" when playinf videos on some websites. Tell me about info i have to provide to solve this problem. Thanks

Hello,
I am not a Flash developer, but based on my search, this particular error 'style error #2134' means that the Flash video / game that you are viewing is not able to store data on the local storage (your machine).
Can you please check the setting described in the Adobe KB [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/error-2134-cannot-create-sharedobject.html Enable Storage for Flash Player], to see if this helps in resolving the issue.
Thank you

I just bought a new mac mini and an external DVD burner. I want to burn a DVD video and it will not play on the TV but only on the computer? Need this figured out for tomorrow.

Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

I have just updated itunes to 10.7 and now my videos and flims will not play. I get a message saying itunes has stopped working. Can you help

I have just updated itunes to 10.7 and now my videos and flims will not play.

This helped overcome the crash problem, but (as reported before), I still have to start iTunes in Safe Mode in order to watch any videos. This has been the case since 10.5.
The regular mode behavior has changed a bit - instead of the progress bar moving to the end of the video, showing no video but playing the audio for about three seconds, it now leaves the progress bar where it is ... but the rest of the behavior hasn't changed.
Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit on an HP dv8t quad-core laptop w/ 8 GB RAM, running nVidia GeForce 230M with 1 GB video RAM.
Thanks for your prompt response to the original problem posted above. At least now I'm back where I started from before I upgraded to 10.7. Not optimal, but I've finally gotten used to doing a Ctrl-Shift-click to run iTunes.

Videos on Facebook are not playing

Videos on Facebook are not playing when I am connected to AirPort Extreme. They are working on LTE. Any advise? Please help

Yeah strange isnt it? I just tried it with my wife's 5C iOS 8.1.2 and it works perfectly and my lads iPad mini 3 is perfect too. It's just my iPhone 6,I have tried everything resetting network settings, hard reboot, remove/reinstall app, different updates of FB app. I am now leaning towards a full factory reset of i6 does anyone else have a clue as to why just the iPhone is affected?

Fix for video like Comedy Central not playing on MacBook Pro

MacBook Pro has stopped playing streaming video from a number of websites, e.g. Comedy Central.
Spinner spins then stops and player window is black.
Have latest Flash player.
Have tried different ISP connections.
Have tried different browsers.
Rebooted numerous times.
Removed excess plugs from browsers.
Have tried wired and wireless.
Still not playing video from a number of websites, e.g. Comedy Central.
Any suggestions? Highly frustrated at moment as I have no TV and was relying on my MacBook for entertainment.
Thanks...Stephen

Solution for me was to 'Allow third party Flash content to store data on your computer' on the Global Storage settings panel:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_man ager03.html
Way creepy that comedy central requires this to be enabled to let you play their video. If you clear all your local flash data and then enable the third party storage and hit CC, you'll see new flash cookes from two domains: media.mtvnservices.com and secure-us.imrworldwide.com. I turn the above setting on just to watch clips on CC, then turn it back off and clear all the flash cookies. Probably not that important to do so, but it isn't too bad.
