"error loading media-file could not be played"-when viewing webcams

When trying to load a webcam, picture loads but will not stream.
The following error message appears "error loading media-file could not be played"
Everything functions when using Google Chrome.
Any help would be much appreciated. The operating system is Vista.

Thank you for you reply - much appreciated.
I am a bit confused - if I do not have a player installed, how come that everything is OK when I use Google Chrome as a browser?
Many thanks,
Jimmy

  • Cannot play JWPlayer mp4 videos - "error loading media, file could not be played" in MS Windows 7 Firefox. Works on Firefox for mac.

    We use mp4 / mv4 type videos. These videos are viewed through a JWPlayer playlist. They work fine using Firefox browser on a MAC, however on MS Windows 7, I get "Error loading media, file could not be played". They also work fine from MS Windows 7 using IE and CHROME browsers. Any idea what might be causing the problem when trying to play them from the Firefox browser on a Windows platform?
    I have already tried uninstalling Firefox, deleting my profile and re-installing the latest version.
    I logged a support problem with JWPlayer and they indicated that it ma be a browser specific related issue with html5?
    Thanks for you help!

    I would assume an issue with the HTML5 media player.
    If those aren't working on Windows then it is possible that the proper codecs aren't installed.
    You can try to disable the HTML5 media player and make Firefox use the Flash plugin.
    You can do this by setting these two prefs to false on the <b>about:config</b> page:
    *media.windows-media-foundation.enabled
    *media.directshow.enabled

  • "Error loading media. File Could not be played"  when trying to view streaming media on only some sites.  How to fix?

    Hi!
    I've been having a problem trying to view streaming media, but it only happens on some sites.  It's similar to a problem I have on my Windows PC, that's related to Adobe Flash, but since I'm very new to using my iPad Mini, I don't even know if Apple devices have Flash...do they?
    Anyway, when I go to a site that's plagued by this issue, I tap the 'Play' arrow on my screen & the circle spins like it's gonna play, but then the screen turns black & this error message appears:
                                                  "Error loading media. File Could not be played"  followed by a triangle with an exclamation point !
    I read several articles online & the solutions ran from updating firmware in their router, (mine is brand new...installed last Thursday), to disabling ad-block programs in their browsers...(I don't have any enabled), and the last one was making changes to the DNS...(I know it means 'domain name server', but I don't have the foggiest idea how to make changes to it!
    Anyway, that's my problem.  I hope that someone out there knows what I can do to fix it!
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    What version of iPhoto?
    What colour profile is the shot?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Error During Import: File Could Not Be Imported

    I am trying to load some .AVI movies from my digital camera into iMovie; most of them will, but 1 or 2 for some reason will not. I have played some of these videos on my old G3, which I replaced with this new computer; most loaded in OK.
    The clips that won't load look smaller than the others when playing (don't know why). I played the movies and converted them to Quicktime again in MPEG Streamclip and they played fine (also in VLC PLayer, FWIW).
    I am getting this error message: Error during Import: File Could Not Be Imported.
    Also, I am trying to change the orientation of one clip that I inadvertently shot sideways; I did this in Bitlist but it won't load now into iMovie. Is there away to change the orientation in Quicktime (I'm not buying QT pro) or another free converter that will work?
    Thanks in advance...

    try to ...
    * open the avi/mpegs in Streamclip
    * choose 'DV stream' as export option
    * in the 'DV stream' dialog, you're offered the option 'turn'.. rotate in the wanted direction and choose '75%' size to get all into the video...

  • Error message - Original file could not be found

    When I open itunes, and try to click on a song, there is an "!" and I get the error message "original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    It does this for every song. I have to trace it down to "My Music\itunes\itunes\itunes music" and under that I have hundreds of files by artist.
    How can I listen to the songs so I don't have to click on each one to make them play?
    I hope you can help me.

    First, a correction from my previous post: At the beginning I meant to write The iPod wasn't designed to sync playlist-related information back to iTunes.
    And as for the polydorus link, let's try this .
    Sorry about that.
    Does that make sense? Do I need both folders?
    No, in the end you'll only need one but I'm still not sure which one.
    *I think the difference is there are no folders like in wndows, but the itunes library leads me directly to my library on the itunes website
    I don't understand what you mean by the itunes library leads me directly to my library on the itunes website.
    It sounds like there is only one iTunes database - iTunes Library.itl - file and that it's in your iTunes1 folder. Whether or not that is the case, what I'd like you to do is follow the instructions in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for opening an alternate iTune Library file. Select the Choose Library option and use the navigtion window that appears to make your way to an .itl file.
    Select the .itl and iTunes will open with a Library that may - or may not - be different than what you last saw: somewhat different contents or exclamation marks may be present again.
    If it's not a library you're happy with, close iTunes, wait ten seconds or so and then repeat the procedure looking for another .itl file - each one contains references for a different iTunes library.
    When you find a library you're happy with, i.e. all the contents are listed and no exclamation marks, make a note of the location of that .itl. It's the one you're going to want to work with.
    Using that database file, you can go back to iTunes, right-click various songs > Get Info > Summary tab and look to the bottom of that window to find out where that Library is being directed for those files. Make a note of that location.
    When we know those two things, we should be able to proceed from there with deleting things.
    In the future, when I buy new songs from apple, where will they automatically get stored?
    In the location that's been selected in iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab for the iTunes Music folder.
    What will happen when I sync my ipod on the computer?
    That brings us back to the beginning of this post, by default the synch goes from iTunes to your iPod. So you shouldn't synch your iPod unless there's a satisfactory Library being displayed in iTunes.

    Hey Karthik,
    First of all, are you using ECLIPSE? What is your development
    Environment. I had run into same issue, after hours of trying
    different things, I installed the FLEX BUILDER and was able to
    create the application without any issues. I have also noticed that
    FLEX BUILDER works more smoothly than Eclipse and since then I have
    been developing within FB.
    Thanks.

  • Error code; original file could not be found, would you like to locate it?

    when i try to transfer songs from my library to my ipod shuffle, i get this error message (error code; original file could not be found, would you like to locate it?). Then an exclamation point(!) in the first column it appears next to the song in the library.
    When i go to the folder mymusic/itunes/itunesmusic folder, the song is there, but why is there an exclamation point next to the song in the library? And how do I restore all these songs, and what causes this?

    Sounds like your iTunes .ITL library file got corrupted.
    What are the iTunes library files?
    There are some posts around here by Buegie on how to fix that...

  • Revel Error Message: "Some files could not be uploaded."

    Error Message: "Some files could not be uploaded. 1 file was unable to be uploaded and was skipped." I am a Revel user from its inception. I have never had upload errors before in Adobe Revel. I am trying to upload jpeg files in the same way I have done for months, which is by dragging and dropping files directly into an album I have created. Starting yesterday, only some files upload properly. Others receive the above error message. When I have tried to re-upload the jpegs which have not gone, I receive either the same error message or a slightly different error which indicates the files are not uploading because they are duplicates. They're not duplicates and appear nowhere else in my Revel albums. I have rebooted my Window 7 PC, I have repeatedly logged out and back into Revel. I have tried both Firefox and IE. I have tried creating new albums and uploading the failed files to a new album. I have cleared my Firefox cache. I have tried both the "drag and drop" feature and the "Add Photos or Videos" button in Revel. I have tried using the "Export to Revel" feature in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I have tried uploading never-before-attempted files, and - on average - only 25% of those brand-new files are uploading. I am a subscriber and pay for the Revel service, so I am not bumping into any upload quotas. I have read through these forums and have found problems similar to mine as far back as May 2013, but none of the problems ever seem to have been resolved other than the users simply giving up. Can you help? I am becoming increasingly confused with respect to which files have succeeded and which files have failed. Thank you. -Dori

    Yvonne-
    You can have many libraries with many albums and files within them. Each library is independent, so if you upload a file to two libraries then you two copies. If you put a photo from a library in albums that live within that library, then there is only one copy in the library that each album has access to so it will show up when you view the album. This might help : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5197228#5197228.
    I found a few incomplete files in your account also. We will take care of this for you and contact you when it is complete.

  • Export in Quick Time Pro gives Error -43: a file could not be found

    Have been successfully exporting videos mades on my camera via Quick Time Pro for many months to convert for Apple TV. However in the last week the same routine process now causes an error on export. Error -43: a file could not be found.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing QT Pro and no difference, have also tried different export formats and they all give the same error.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

    This is a old post from when I had recieved the Error-43 file could not be found. In my case I had a drive lettered F:\ F:\ when changing the drive to a single letter F:\ it resolved the problem, so something you might want to take a look at.

    Hello.  I'm trying to export an mov file from quicktime pro, but I keep getting this error everytime.  I have been able to do this export as of a few weeks ago, now it doesn't work.
    Error -43: a file could not be found
    I'm trying to export an mov to an mov to correct a dimension issue.  Again, this worked perfectly in the past.

    Hi ckary,
    Thanks for your post. It looks as if your computer is not seeing the driver
    calls and thus it gives the error saying it cannot complete that task. Does
    this happen with any other example programs you run using DAQmx? What version
    of DAQmx do you have? I would first recommend getting the latest DAQmx driver
    version, 8.7.1. You can find this at the following link below.
    Drivers and Updates
    Please post back if installing the latest driver does not
    fix the problem.
