Embedded videos from Viddler unable to play

I have been having this problem for quite some time now and it finally bugged me enough to post about it. Anyway, on the Gawker Media sites (specifically Deadspin for this example) embedded videos from Viddler show a "Video not found" error message. However, if you get the link from the video and watch it directly it works fine. Also if you go to viddler.com and watch any video, they work fine. It appears as though something is messed up in how Firefox handles the embedding of the videos. Not sure if it is an HTML5 thing, a Gecko thing, or what but it works fine in G0ogle Chrome.
Here is a link of an example of what I am talking about:
http://deadspin.com/5833185/espn-is-airing-a-tv-commercial-for-grantland
and if you get the link for the video and go to it directly it works fine:
http://cdn.static.viddler.com/flash/as3/full-publisher.swf?ref=&key=8ed093e8
The actual link was:
http://www.viddler.com/embed/8ed093e8/
but I had to change it to
http://www.viddler.com/player/8ed093e8/
based on advice from:
http://www.viddler.com/forums/bugs/7491/
I am running Firefox v7.b1 and I tried it both with and without my add-ons enabled. My Flash and all other plugins are up to date. I had the exact same problem with Firefox v6 as well. Please fix this issue. Thanks

Based on rschmitty's reply, I attempted a clean install. This seems to fix everything. Not sure where, when, or how something got screwed up, but this is a fairly simple fix. It even continued to work after installing all my add-ons.
After a little research I did find a couple things that can cause this to mess up. Viddler is very picky about their hotlinking and tries to control who links to their videos. Thus if you go to about:config and change the network.http.sendRefererHeader (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.sendRefererHeader) to anything other than the default of '2' that messes up any video links from Viddler, not just the links on Gawker Media websites. This change is often required by websites like http://crazedlist.org/ or any other mass craigslist searching sites. Just remember that if you change the network.http.sendRefererHeader option, you must change it back for videos to work.
Another thing that can screw with the Viddler video linking are add-ons which basically do the same thing as modifying the network.http.sendRefererHeader option. One such add-on is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/refcontrol/ RefControl], which if you change from anything but the default will cause the 'Video Not Found' error. If you use add-ons like RefControl be sure to add viddler.com to your whitelist/normal referer list so that this doesn't happen.
This is not an exhaustive list of things which can cause this problem, but it appears that anything like the two above examples which mess with the http referer header will cause it. Maybe reinstalling is not necessary if you simply check anything that may be modifying this option.

Embedded videos from Presenter won't play/sync

I have a couple embedded videos in a PPT that I've published from Presenter to Adobe Connect. When I get to the slide with the video in the Connect meeting, the section with the video is blank. However, if I turn off the Sync, I get the play bar and can manually play it, but it does not sync to the group (obviously with sync being disabled).
How can I set it up so I can manually play the video and keep the attendees synced to the video, as well?

Hi,
You can get the playbar even in the sync mode. Click on share pod's dropdown menu and click on Show Presentation playbar option from the dropdown.
You will then see the playbar similar to what you see in un-sync mode and you can then play the video. Let us know if this did the trick for you!
Thanks

How do I make a thumbnail that has a gallery inside? And how can I make this gallery have embeded videos from vimeo + Images?

Hello,
I'm pretty new to Muse so I don't know a lot about it, but I researched a lot and didn't find an answer to this question.
I'm trying to make a portfolio website. The website will be a 12 thumbnails. But each thumbnail is one project, not an image.
When you click one of the thumbnails, I want it to be a lightbox that will show embeded videos from vimeo mixed with images.
Ex: A coca-cola projet.
Main page has a thumbnail of a coca cola image. When you click on it, it opens a lightbox with a coca-cola film, when i click to the right arrow, it shows a cocacola poster, then another poster, then another video. (but they are all part of this gallery, that is inside the thumbnail.
Can you guys help me?
Thanks!!!

I don't understand why my thumbnails don't work.
I dragged a composition lightbox inside another one. But I still have the first lightbox there and can't delete.
When I try my wabsite i see this:
But then I click the thumbnail and I see this:
And when I click one of those 3 I see this:
Like it is making a double lightbox.
but it doesn't show the images, it's like the first lightbox is on top of the second one.
How I deal with this? =/

While playing videos from YouTube it stops playing on my iPad2

While playing videos from YouTube it stops playing on my iPad2

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

Can videos from my dropbox be played on sony blu ray dvd player BDP S580?

can videos from my dropbox be played on sony blu ray dvd player BDP S580?

Hello ptsotsos, thank you for your message. Welcome to SONY Community!
Unfortunately the Blu-ray disc player cannot play videos from dropbox. When the Internet video device is connected to an active network connection, you can browse web sites or surf the Internet. However, the built-in browser is not designed to replace the web browsing functionality of a computer.
NOTE: Web pages may not display correctly and some web functions such as downloading or saving Internet content may not work properly.
Hopefully this post helps you!

Embedded videos from various websites no longer load

embedded videos from various websites no longer load. i just get a black mini screen with no controls. they do load when using other browsers and this only started within the last few days

i just tried safe mode and that makes no difference. the videos that do not load are ones embedded in websites such as the huffingtonpost etc. the website loads as normal. when i click on an article with a video the article appears but the area where the video usually appears is just a black box. typically that box contains a "promo shot" and video operating controls. recently this area is just black. this happens on numerous news type websites. when i use safari as my browser everything works fine

How can I prevent embedded videos from playing automatically when I open a webpage?

When I go to a web page, such as when I click around to different stories on msn.com, there is often an embedded video. Sometimes it is a commercial. Sometimes it's something else. But it just starts playing all by itself, which can be loud and startling. I'd like videos to play only when I select them. Is there a way to make it prevent the auto-play?

You can look at: Stop Autoplay: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1765

““UNABLE TO PLAY MEDIA, MEDIA FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED””

Read this article related to your issue. You may be trying to sync the High Definition (HD) version of the TV Show to your device. The iPod classic does not support HD content. You'll want to download the SD version instead.
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

Video from iPhone won't play on iPad

I received a video from iPhone in an email but iPad won't play it? Any way to get it to play on iPad.

I appreciate what you are both saying -- but it is not the music that is the problem. The video itself is NOT blocked - you can view it on a computer -- but when you try to view it on ipad/iphone the message says, "not available on this platform". Here is a link to a video I did in Elements 9 on Tuesday:
http://youtu.be/06TaM22SkdE
Here is the link to the video done last night in 11:

The "raw files" are both adobe flash.flv -- it's just not making sense...
Thank you!!!

Video from camera won't play in iphoto

I can import video from my camera into IPhoto and the thumbnail shows up just fine. When I double click to play, nothing happens. Does anyone know what the problem is?

The usual cause for this is that you don’t have the codecs on your Mac to play these particular avi’s. The avi is a container for many possible codecs, so while one might play another might not.
Try install Perian, which will add codecs to Quicktime for you. Otherwise go back to the website of your camera’s maker and see if they have a Quicktime plug-in.

Stopping embedded video from loading multiple times

Hi,
just started using Edge Animate. I have some experience with Flash and After Effect so the layout is pretty familiar to me. I have no background in coding so I am very happy that it generates codes for me.
My goal is to make a simple html5 site with links / embedded videos to my contents (500 and vimeo). I copied some codes used for Youtube embedding, sub'd the url with vimeo url, and it worked fine. I used a "play video" button on the main page to trigger loading the video page (see my code below).
It worked great the first time I clicked the button and went to the video page. However, upon returning to the main page, and click the "play video" button again, a duplicate copy of the video is loaded right below the video loaded upon first click. This occurs for as many times as I click the play video button.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks
Pako
sym.play("VideoPage");
var youtubevid = $("<iframe/>");
sym.$("vcontainer").append(youtubevid);
youtubevid.attr('type','text/html');
youtubevid.attr('width','500');
youtubevid.attr('height','375');
youtubevid.attr('src','vimeo code');
youtubevid.attr('frameborder','0');
youtubevid.attr('allowfullscreen','0');

Adjust the line
     sym.$("vcontainer").append(youtubevid);
to this
    sym.$("vcontainer").empty().append(youtubevid);
The addition of the empty() method is to make sure it clears out the container on successive clicks.

Is it possible to remove a video from a window and play it separately?

I'm trying to watch a live stream from a website. Unfortunately all the other information on the website is useless to me. Is there a way that I could remove the video player from the browser and play it on its own? If not, is there a way that I can make the video larger without sending the video into full screen? I disable the other boxes from showing on screen, but still the video is too small.
Please note that the stream is completely legal and paid for.

Okay, that's what I figured. I had zoomed in on the browser before, but I was just curious if there was a more elegant way to enlarge the player. Thanik you for your help!
Maybe this is something Adobe can look into (popping the player out). It'd be very useful for those of us in the corporate world who need to watch the news or tickers without having to be stuck on the browser. Yes tabs are available, but then it obscures the video. A stay on top tool option would be useful as well.

Get videos from my site to play on firefox browsers?

The videos from my site http://fightforfunny.com do not play on firefox browsers. They work for all browsers except firefox. The videos are hosted by amazon s3 in the mp4 format. I did this because I need the videos to be playable on mobile devices such as iPhone and Android devices. How can I make these videos work for all users on firefox browsers, using amazon s3 hosting. I cannot do a flash format because that would make the videos not work for mobile devices. Please help, thanks.
-FightForFunny

That is a weird issue.<br />
The video starts and then the player gets removed.<br />
I can make it work if I click the full screen icon and the player keeps working if I return to the normal player.<br />
So it looks that some JavaScript isn't compatible.
The Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K) shows this error:
<pre><nowiki>Video.js: currentTime unavailable on flash playback technology element. (new TypeError("this.el.vjs_getProperty is not a function", "http://www.fightforfunny.com/wp-content/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/video-js/video.js?ver=3.5.1", 21))

Imported videos from Kodak PlaySport will play!

I just discovered today that iPad will import video from the Kodak PlaySport Zx3 and ACTUALLY PLAY IT! Granted, it will only play video shot in standard definiton, not HD. Since I couldn't find any info on the compatibility between this video camera and the iPad, I went to my local Best Buy with my own SD card, shot some test videos, then imported it to the iPad using the Camera Connection Kit SD card accessory.
Here are the details --
Capture modes
(Imports, doesn't play) 1080p—1920 x 1080, 30 fps
(Imports, doesn't play) 720p / 60 fps—1280 x 720, 60 fps
(Imports, doesn't play) 720p—1280 x 720, 30 fps
(Imports AND plays!) WVGA—848 x 480, 30 fps
Just wanted to share this info. Hope it helps someone out there!

Two posters mentioned GoodReader will allow you to import HD video from the Kodak PlaySport to the iPad. Two other posters said they tried and it only worked with photos (and maybe non-HD video).
If you have actually used GoodReader (or any other program, for that matter) to import HD video from the PlaySport to iPad, could you please post something other than a single sentence declaring that you can do it? Step-by-step instruction, for example, would be great.
For the record, when I use GoodReader and press the camera icon at the bottom, it opens the "Photo Albums" selection, but HD movie files are not shown (even though they are in the photo album and displayed with a generic movie icon).
Thanks.
