Embedded video won't play in any browser

I have had a problem for a long time of videos on certain websites not playing on my MacBook Pro. I have the latest Lion OS update as well as the latest Flash update. I never have a problem with Youtube and most video plays fine but some websites, like for instance, news sites will not respond. I get a black screen with no controls or anythiing. Now I am having this problem with a site called MailChimp. I use FIrefox but it will not play in either Safari or Chrome. There must be some other people who have encountered this same problem. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Embedded videos won't play on any browser (youtube will, though)

Hi all, I'm at my wits end. I have a fairly new computer running Windows 7 64 bit OS. The problem is with non-Youtube embedded videos. Flash has been playing them only on IE up until today, now it won't work in any browser (including Chrome). (Youtube seems to work fine, embedded or not) As an example, when looking at Facebook, any embedded Youtube video plays just fine, but all other videos only give me the black rectangle of doom. I've just spent three hours following all the instructions here: I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the registry key in these instructions. I've disabled ad blocking and turned off my only antivirus program (Microsoft Security Essentials). I've tried downloading Flash Player using every browser and both 32 and 64 bit versions of the browsers. Nothing makes the embedded videos play. The Flash version I have is 11.6.602.171 and the little movie with the ball going by the screen shows fine, and the correct OS is showing. I'm baffled and out of ideas. Thanks for any help!

Videos won't play in any browser

Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
I get this message.
"Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

Embedded videos won't play in Safari on iPhone 5 iOS 8.02

All of a sudden I can't play any embedded YouTube videos in safari from my iPhone 5. I think the issue started when I upgraded to iOS 8.02.
I can see the screenshot of the video, and the red and white play button in safari, but it isn't clickable. I can click on the word youtube in the upper right hand corner of the picture and it will launch the YouTube app and then the video will play from the YouTube app, but never from safari anymore.
I've tried closing the safari app, clearing safari history, resetting the iphone, downloaded Google chrome, and even tried to use my RSS reader to view the webpage. They all do the same thing, and none will let me click the play button to watch the embedded video.
Anyone have any ideas? This is driving me crazy! Thanks!

After some messing around, I found out that I can't press the red/white play button on the middle of the picture. For some reason, that isn't clickable anymore. Instead, if I press anywhere on the picture preview except for the red/white play button, then the video will play fine.
I Don't remember having to do that before, but at least I can watch embedded videos again.

Embedded Video won't play in Firefox

I have a youtube video embedded on a website. When played in
IE it's fine, but when played in Firefox the entire page gets
replaced by this error:

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while
trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. "
I do have the newest Shockwave for FF installed on my pc
(10.x) and I've been told that it's not just my FF that it crashes
in.
Here is the link to the video:

Any ideas?

What is the scripting error? Object not found? Did you upload
the Scripts
folder?

Html export with embedded video won't play on ipad

Keynote 6.0 for Mac - when you export a keynote as html, if there is embedded video, the video will not play on an ios device.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions..
If you didn't repair permissions after updating Safari, try that.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
Also, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

Embedded video won't play in pdf

I've embedded a MPEG video in a CS3 document and made a pdf, checking all the boxes InDesign Help tells me to do (I checked "interactive elements" and "Multimedia: Embed all"). It plays great on my computer but brings up errors on anyone else's machine when viewing the pdf. What am I doing wrong?

That may be it. I hope Sony Vegas can save files as Quick Time. I
can't buy a Mac just for this . Thanks for the help.

Embeded Videos won't play.

I can play videos on Youtube just fine, but if I play them anywhere that they are embedded they don't work (like Facebook and NHl.com). I'm using Firefox 13.0.1, When I was using Firefox 12 everything was ok. I've tried Disabling my add-ons, running in safe mode and I've updated Flash to the latest version.

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Adobe Captivate 5 - Video won't play in web browser

I've tried inserting it as a slide video and as a FLV file. Plays fine in the preview, but not after publication and pulling it up on website. In one version the skin is there, but inactive. In others, there's just nothing there. The progress bar continues to move (on the presentation skin), but no vid plays. I've tried IE, Firefox and Chrome without success. Vid files aren't that big (14 and 21 KB, respectively). I've tried compressing when I publish, to no avail. I'm not yet an expert here and don't know what else to try. If you've got an idea, I'll try it. Thanks.

Hi there
Stoopid question time.
You *DID* know that you need to copy the FLV to the same server location as the SWF, right? (Sometimes folks think the video is included and all wrapped up inside the SWF)
Assuming the video is there, have you tried linking directly to the video? It could be you need to have a friendly chat with your web admin peeps and have them add the FLV files to their list of MIME types in order to properly serve them.
Cheers... Rick

Quicktime won't play in any browser

Until recently quicktime played fine on all my internet browswers then somthing unknown happened so that In all browsers I get a quicktime question mark and nothing will play. This happens in all my browsers so that it must be something to do with my Mac. I have a Mac G4 10.3.9.

What version Quicktime?
No question that the content is QT and not Windows Media Player, right?
Have you checked the settings in the system preferences and does everything look good?
Are movies set to play automatically? Have you tried different web sites with QT content to rule out the website as being faulty?
Have you tried to launch QT first, and then open the url from the file menu?
If not, do that first and if nothing changes, then it may seem silly, but I'd once again repair permissions, and I'd also run the disk repair while booted from the #1 CD.
Or download Onyx (free) and run it.
Report back.....good luck!

Videos not playing in any browser

I've got a 2.6 Gig Macbook Pro Retina running 10.9.2.
Videos aren't playing in any browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox). On youtube for example, the page will load, but the spinning wheel won't stop.
I've tried restarting, uninstalling/reinstalling Flash, reinstalling browsers, repairing disk permissions, restarting my router/modem, but still nothing.
Strangely, if I click an embedded youtube link, it will still sometimes work.

hello vinay64, this is probably a problem in connection with the recent update of adobe's flash plugin (IE and chrome get supplied with a different variant of the plugin of adobe), please refer to the following article for common solutions: [[Flash 11.3 crashes or does not load in Firefox 13]]

TS3274 Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos. I also have no sound. Are these common failures for a three year old gen 2 iPad?

Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos (just started today). I also have no sound, keypad clicks, shutoff click, etc. Are these common failures for a three year old Gen 2 iPad?

For the issue with the videos that will no longer work, try closing all apps and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
For the issue with sounds, you have system sounds muted.
Check the side switch above the volume rocker on the side of the iPad. Flip it the other way and see if you get sound from the apps, keyboard clicks, etc.
If not, double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. In the task bar swipe all the way to the right. Look on the far left side and see if there is a speaker icon. If there is, tap it and see if the sounds on apps come back. Then tap the home button.
You can change how the side switch works to either lock screen rotation or to mute system sounds. You can go to Settings>General>Set Side switch to Lock Rotation or mute. If you choose mute, the switch will turn off apps sounds. Otherwise you use the task bar as described above to mute those sounds.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
