Firefox complete freezes when trying to play song on Myspace

Hi,
When I try to play a song in the Myspace music player, Firefox completely freeze and I have no other choice than sending it a SIGTERM.
I'm using kernel26rt (2.6.31_rt10-3), firefox 3.5.5-1 and flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1.1.
I've tried with a new profile but it does not change anything.
Any hint for where could this come from would be appreciated.
Edit : When the problem is occurring, I don't even get high load on firefox processes :

I tried it and it works without any problems. I tried also clean profile and I've had almost the same performance.
My configuration:
$ uname -a
Linux nb 2.6.31-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 10 19:48:17 CET 2009 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
$ firefox -v

I've got another tip. Do you have open port 1935 ? It's a Adobe Media Server port, which you need to connect to receive a song.

Computer completely freezes when trying to play video

When I double-click on the thumbnail of a video to play it, the computer completely freezes, and sometimes the display will get corrupted with noise. I tried exporting a video file to disk, then opening it with Quicktime instead of iPhoto, and the same thing happens. I have cross-posted this question to the Quicktime forum also but I see more people talking about this problem here in iPhoto.

I have since posting this question looked at the OS X Console, and have seen these errors, which sound correlated to my problem of playing video from a variety of cameras, including iPHone 4. I also tested playback on my newer Mac laptop and have no trouble at all.

Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

Does this happen with any song or video you play? If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

Getting error message when trying to play songs from library saying original file could not be found

when trying to play songs from library, getting message saying original file could not be found .. my full library all says the same .. can anyone help ?

Hello Ceeclass,
I suggest this article named iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408.
It should help you locate the media that is not playing in the iTunes library.
Take care,

New version of Firefox is hanging when trying to play a file from the BBC iPlayer

When trying to click on the 'Play' button on the BBC iPlayer site http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/categories/drama, Firefox hangs and does not allow me to click on anything else on any of the open tabs.
If I use the task master to close Firefox and then try to reopen it, I get a message saying that it is already open. Only restarting the computer will allow me to start it again.

do some working around, remove the old version, download the latest version from mozilla official, and do the new install, and install the addons. update problems are more than you can think over, so just do a new complete for sure. update sometimes is really time wasting......

It seems that my firefox hangs/freeze when I'm playing youtube vids, unable to surf at all. When i check task manager it seems to be a plugin container.exe problem? Can someone help me pls..

My firefox sometimes totally hangs/freezes when i try to replay a youtube video. I click the play button but the whole firefox juz hangs. When i try to end task it, i noticed a firefox "plugin container.exe" process.. So i figure it might be a plugin problem? I hope someone can help me with this..
Its getting very irritating and i love using firefox for web surfing.
Thanks in advance for ur help

YouTube videos use the Flash plugin. You can test your Flash plugin and see what version is installed by going to [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's Flash Player test page]. To update Flash to the latest version, see [[Managing the Flash plugin]].
Starting in Firefox 3.6.4, Flash is loaded in a separate plugin-container process. For the background, see the articles [[What is plugin-container]] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins Plugin-container and out-of-process plugins (MozillaZine KB)].
If Firefox hangs when playing Flash videos at YouTube, it could be a video driver issue, Try turning off hardware acceleration in your [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player display settings] (visit any page that uses Flash, such as [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's test page], then right-click the Flash animation, select Settings, and uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration" on the Display panel). ...More information here:

Ipod 5gen freezes when trying to play video

My son has a 5th gen 60gb ipod that freezes as soon as he tries to play video on it. This started happening after he installed the latest firmware upgrade. We have deleted the videos, tried reinstalling the latest firmware, reinstalled any number of converted videos, and every time we try it, it freezes up solid. We end up having to use the standard "menu-center button" restart procedure to unfreeze it. Any ideas how to get it to play videos with out completely wiping his ipod clean and starting over with everything?

My problem is similar. My 80G freezes playing video that I converted. These videos used to play just fine. This all started after an upgrade in Dec 07 I think. I have an iphone and the videos play fine and we kjust purchased a 160G and all the videos play perfectly. A huge bummer with the 160G though is that most of the accessories we purchased for the 5th gen don't work with the new classics (ie: Phillips portable DVD/ipod player) - Why did Apple do that?

ITunes 9 freezes when trying to play movie

G'Day Experts !
Was wondering if anyone can tell me why iTunes 9.03.15 (the latest software) freezes up on WinXP SP3
Have looked through the knowledge base, have done the reinstalls, created a new Apple account, disabled antivirus... nada.
This is on a new hard disc and a new system that has not run iTunes before. Have never seen this problem.
Thanks!

Itunes 9.03.15
itunes freezes when I play a movie/tvshow. I have to "end task" then re-start Itunes. The movie doesn't play at all. This happened after I downloaded two movies for rental and tried to move them to an older model Ipod video 30GB. The move didn't work so I tried to synch the ipod with no success. Gave up trying to move the movie and tried to watch it on my computer screen and it does not play. This is irrating because now my movie is going to expire in a few hours and I haven't been able to watch it.

New Nano (8GB) freezes when trying to play music. Nike+ IPod at fault?

This is the second nano I've received, the original did the same thing. The nano works fine when I first play it, but after I upgrade to the latest ipod firmware and try using my Nike ipod thingie, I have problems with it freezing up. I take it to work (where I'm outside & don't have a computer) (no Nike connector) & try selecting something, but as soon as I try playing Music or a Podcast playlist, it freezes with the Play arrow button & "Now Playing" in the top menu & the light on. No button combination or toggling the switch will unfreeze it. I have to wait until after the battery has worn out & I get home to connect it to my computer to get it back to normal.
Any ideas what the problem is?

Only artwork, no audio when trying to play songs

when i select a song to play, the art work appears, but nothing else, no title or progress bar, then after about 1 second it automatically goes back to my coverflow (which is where i just was)
but it only does it for a select few songs, they are all in the same album, so i think it may be a song file problem

Winston, you CAN sync without transferring the files to the Apple TV HDD.
That's not correct, although I now understand you.
Select Custom sync and choose not to transfer files.
As I say I realise what you are saying, but it is your library database file that is synced, your music is streamed.
It has worked in the past for me and it still works now, I can see all the albums on the Apple TV in 'My Music' only when I go to play a file: silence. Both on the television and on the stereo.
Have you by any chance turned the volume down on the tv.
And yes, there is a reason to disable sound output via HDMI, because there is no use to have two audio streams outputting at the same time.
Sorry I don't follow your reasoning here. We don't use the DVD player in the car, I haven't considered disabling it though.

Ipod freezes up when trying to play songs

Hey there,
i've been having trouble with my 40GB "click wheel" ipod. I've recently had to restore it (it claims it's corrupt every time i restore it) and now when i load songs onto it through itunes, it will either freeze up itunes and/or the ipod or won't play on my ipod...i've tried to restore the ipod alot, reload songs, etc. but still have not found a workable solution. I have the latest software for itunes and ipod (through itunes). please help!!! ^_^

I am having the same exact problem. The Ipod sounds like the hard disk revs, then stops. And it is doing this over and over and over again.

Itunes 10 freezes when trying to play different songs one after another.

in itunes 10 when i try to play one song, then want to play another--it lags/freezes horribly. Itunes 9 didn't do this. is this just a bug--that might get fixed with an update?? please this is VERY ANNOYING.

As this doesn't relate to an iPod and is an iTunes question, please post here.

OSX Firefox freezes when trying to play youtube videos on facebook.

When I click on embedded youtube videos on facebook, OSX firefox freezes, and I need to force quit. Everything is up to date, and this problem has been going on for at least two updates.

Hey virus1244,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Managing the Flash plugin#w_playing-flash-videos-makes-firefox-hang|Managing the Flash plugin]]? It has a section on resolving freezing issues. This might be what you are looking for.
Hopefully this helps!

Firefox freezes when trying to play a flash enabled video

Every time i try to watch a video on youtube firefox will almost alwasy freeze within 1-10 seconds. I have the correct adobe flash and everything to watch the video. When i exit firefox it tells me i have a proble with my plugin manager. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox disabled and enabled many parts on the plugin manager but i didnt get anywhere.

I'm having the same issue on the Mac Platform as well. The problem happens with Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Seeing as it's happening with multiple browsers and multiple operating systems it looks as though it's an adobe problem. Oddly though, I haven't had any problems with flash and the Opera Browser. I'd be very interested if anyone is able to find a work-around for the other browsers.
