Embedded MP4 videos not playing in iOS Safari

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with embedded MP4 videos (e.g. YouTube videos) not playing correctly in Safari. When I try to play one, I get one of two problems:
1. On my (first gen) iPad, Safari usually crashes.
2. On my iPhone 4, videos will load but only play audio, not video, though when I tap on the screen the "play" and "pause" symbols appear.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mike

Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.

PPT with embedded MP4 videos not being improted as a playable video - how can I make the MP$ play as a video?

I have a PPT slide presentation that has embedded MP4 videos (captured using SnagIt) in the presentation. When I import and convert, all my PPT slides convert with animations intact, but the videos are not playable and appear only as a 'static' slide.... I'm messing around with the trial version of Captivate hoping it can do what I think it can (like what I just described here) and am trying to cost-justify the purchase of this package to my management team -but I have to make sure it can do what we want it to do first - so far, no good - but I think I'm probably just missing something...any tips or suggestions?

Hi there
One way to accomplish your goal would be to use what I call: The Camtasia Approach
Basically you play the presentation and use Captivate to record it. Camtasia operates that way with PPT.
Cheers... Rick

Embedded YouTube videos not playing in Safari OS X

Hello
Recently, I've had trouble playing embedded videos (for example on tumblr or on Laughing Squid). I can see the space the YouTube box is meant to be in, but it's blank. I can play them on YouTube though. This started before the Yosemite update.
I use AdBlock but it happens whether it's on or off. I've updated my Flash, cleared my Flash and Safari cache but to no avail.
This happens both on my MacBook Air and on my desktop, both running Yosemite and fully updated Flash etc.
Does anyone know if this is a widespread bug or if I can fix it easily?
Thank you!

Video not playing correctly in Safari

Hi there
I am having problems viewing embedded video streams in Safari (6.0.4). The video will play ok for a second or two then breaks up into vertical lines (see picture below) with the video's audio playing back ok. I have loaded the same pages using the Chrome browser and the video will playback ok without any issues so that narrows it down to be a problem within Safari.
I know the simple answer is to switch to Chrome as my main browser but tbh I really don't like Chrome very much and would prefer to use Safari as my main browser.
Any help solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Online videos not playing only in safari- it's working perfect on Mozila firefox

hi i m using macbook air and suddenly its not playing online videos only in safari...
my flash player is updated

Go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html with Safari
Does it show that you have Flash installed & working ?
Do you have Safari - Preferences - Security set to allow Plug-Ins ?.
If yes to all that - give an example website address where you have problems & say what happens when you try to view the video.

Embedded youtube videos not playing

Running Windows 64bit with Internet Explorer 10 and Flash version 11.6.602.171
Youtube, Facebook no problems.
I think the videos are embedded with the new iframe only and do not play.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

For the life of me, I cannot find the settings on this version of Flash.
I have the Flash Player Settings Manager, but no Global Storage Manager.
As for the sites

As for Amazon videos, I have found that if I clear my cookies and run the video on a product intro like say a metal detector. I can watch it once, but if I go to another product and try to watch it's video, I get nothing but a loading bar, then go back to the first video and again, nothing but a loading bar until I clear the cookies.

Youtube videos not playing on standalone Safari browser iOS 8

I have a very strange problem with an embedded youtube player on a web app, I am working on. The web app is "mobile capable" so when saved on a user homescreen, it opens up in a chromeless safari browser.
So here is my issue:
The YouTube player is embedded on one of the pages in the web app using an iframe, and when the "play" button is clicked and the app is open in the chromeless safari window, the video loads forever and never plays....however when this scenario is replicated in the regular safari browser everything works fine.
This started happening only after the iOS 8 update. This is happening on an iPhone 5 running iOS 8, and it previously worked fine on the same iPhone 5 under iOS 7. Additionally, I tested the app on an iPhone 5c running iOS 7, and an iPad Air running iOS 7 and everything works fine.
Side Note: I even changed the implementation to embed using an object instead of an iframe, and the same problem occurs with either one.

This is a significant problem if Apple is going to allow developers to deploy web applications that can be saved as a chromless web app.
My question is, who is responsible for fixing this issue? is this something YouTube needs to address? or Apple?
looking at the error console I am not able to troubleshoot the issue as I am not able to see any errors firing when attempting to play an embedded player.
i believe this issue may also be effecting other html5 code as well on other sites.
Apple PLEASE respond.

MP4 video not playing

Hi,
I have the following setup:
Mac Pro w/ 2 NVIDIA GeForce 7300s
1 card is powering 2 - 23" Apple Cinema Displays and the 2nd card is powering my Plasma.
The Apple displays run at resolution 1920x1200 and the Plasma runs at 800x600 60Hz. NOTE: I convert DVI down to VGA to run to the Plasma with Apple's adapter.
The problem:
When uploading MP4 from HD camera to iPhoto, video image not showing in Quicktime on either of the cinema displays. But, audio works fine. If I drag the clip into iMovie HD it does NOT work either, only audio plays.
When dragging and dropping the same video clip into an email (Apple Mail), it will play fine in there. If I drag that Quicktime player over to the plasma display it will play fine there as well.
So, how can I get Quicktime to play on either cinema display at their running resolution of 1920x1200?
Goal: To edit video in iMovie HD.
TIA for all of your suggestions!
Kyle

I'll look into it. You may also want to try removing the viewer (remove from both iTunes and iPad, sync) and then adding the viewer again just to make sure it's not a memory issue with the viewer. I'll let you know what I find out.

Can't play the embedded mp4 video in SWF

Hi, I am creating a basic webpage for the first time. I have successfully inserted a SWF flash player in Dreamweaver, however I am unable to play a mp4 video that is embedded in my swf flashplayer within Dreamweaver web page.
Message was edited by: Madalsa Tested and previewed the exported SWF on stand alone basis, there I am able to play the embedded mp4 video. Any ideas will be appreciated.

I don't mean to impose or anything, but I'm in dire need of help. I've been trying to understand your directions, but to no avail.
I'm trying to get my embedded .mp4 video to play in my .sfw video on my webpage... I know that you said that firefox won't play .mp4 vidoes, and recommend converting it into a ogg.
The thing confusing me is that... I'm not sure which file I should be converting here... Infact I did convert the .mp4 into a ogg well actually it's a .ogv(confused here also), but am i suppose to convert the .sfw file as well? And how would I setup it up in your first example(i ask this question again below)
The .mp4 file was 20131122_123440.mp4 , now it's 20131122_123440.ogv and the .swf file is secondtime.swf
This is the coding I have below set up for my website:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="blue">
<table width="1001" height="420" align="center">

</object>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Now if I was to simply to put it in this example below:
<video controls>
<source src="foo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="foo.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the <code>video</code> element.
</video>
How would I be able to get it to work?
Also, I've read that it could be a pathing issue as well.... Because when I run the video as a test from my computer into firefox it plays the flvplayback (which was the .mp4, and maybe I should of mentioned this in the beginning?), and it works fine.. I placed the .html and the .sfw and the .mp4 in the same folder to try to get it to work, but it doesn't work online, and I noticed that once I put the .mp4 back on my desktop it plays the video fine in the test run fine... Maybe I should put the .ogv file into the folder instead? I don't even know how that would work.
Thank you for taking your time out to read this, I really apprecaite it!!! Sorry for the lack of understanding as well!

Mp4 not playing on iOS

Hi,
Can you clarify why the optical flare mp4. at the start of my animation will not play on iOS please?
It is working fine here on Chrome http://nyresolution.ie/
var video = sym.$("myVideo");
$(video).html('<video width="1920" height="1080" autoplay><source src="assets/opticals.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>');
Many thanks,
Kim

IOS does not support autoplay for audio or video.

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
SeaGate http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
Thanks
Mark

Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
     var video:Video;
     var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
     connect_nc.connect(null);
     var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
     stream_ns.client = this;
     function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {
         if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
             stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
     stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
     video = new Video();
     addChild(video);
     video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
     stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well. Place the following code in the timeline...
     fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
     function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
         fp.play();
To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page. Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

Facebook videos not playing on iPad Air(safari browser)

Why do my Facebook videos not play in iPad Air(safari browser) but same video play nicely on iPhone 4(safari browser). It asks me to download flash player to play on iPad but plays fine on iPhone without giving any prompt to download flash player.

You should not have trouble playing using the FaceBook app.

Videos not playing in Firefox

Hello,
I am testing the web viewer with a couple of interactive forestry publications. They work great on Chrome and Safari, but the videos do not load on Firefox (v27.0.1) on OSX 10.9. I have only tested IE10 on a surface tablet, but it works fine there too. It appears to just be FireFox. I am embedding .mp4 videos. Any tips or help with this?
Here is a link to the web viewer, the first page should be a video that auto plays: http://contentviewer.adobe.com/s/EESC%20Catalog/5958ad7747df4b7fa787358d54367a69/ITS%20in% 20NE%20Oregon/Front.html
Thank you!
Update - In Firefox I can right-click on the video in DPS and select 'Play Video' and the video will play fine, but obviously not what I want. Within the folio webviewer the videos will not play, it only shows black.

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.
