Flash / HTML5 videos don't run on first hit

Hello all,
On my Safari, Flash and HTML videos never start on first hit. I always have to click on HTML5 or FLASH for a video to start playing. Any ideas on how to get them to work on a first click, as they normally do?

HD videos don´t run smooth

I am very disappointed to see that HD videos don´t run smooth.
Size is 1280x544 so I expect it to run OK but it´s not the case: it freezes for a second every now and then. Maybe is it the bit rate that is too high. Then what would be the limit?

HD video plays very smooth on mine. I can even play a full 1080p video very smoothly. It really depends on the codec of the video. For example, any 1080p video and trailers downloaded from sony's playstation network run great without and choppy frame, lag, or problems.

Issue with Youtube and Flash Player, videos don't play after a while

When I go to Youtube I can watch videos, but after I've player 5 or 6, when I select the next one, I get a snowy screen with a message "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback. Get the latest Flash Player". Issues is I already have the latest Flash Player, and it was playing fine just a minute ago. But from then on I cannot play more videos until I restart the computer. I'm tired of reinstalling Flash every day.
Win 7 64 bits, IE 9 and Firefox (happens with both)
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Apparently the browser at first recognizes that Flash is installed, but then it doesn't find it anymore. Not sure how that happens.

strangest thing... a few 'non-youtube' sites still work ok, but still complain 'no javascript' ..
so went to firefox (v17.0.4 ESR) 'tools, options, content' and yup, javascript UNTICKED!! :O :O my bad memory? something else??? {shrugs}
ticked it, now ok........ think im getting old?????? ROFL..

Why Flash and videos don't work after 10.6.7 update?

After os update Flash, Shockwave and videos stopped working on Safari. Also Flash CS5, Flash Builder 4 and Flash Catalyst CS5 stopped working. An error message on Flash CS5 "Error initializing Java Runtime Environment. You may need to reinstall Flash." I have uninstalled and reinstalled stuff, fixed the HDD errors etc but so far no solution. Is this simply error in update software made by some tired engineer?

2 Suggestions:
1) Try reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6.7 via Combo Update, it's a common troubleshooting step:

2) Have you installed the latest Mac OS X Java Update 4?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1360
I would also suggest to check Adobe's Support Page to see if other users are experiencing the same:

Did you also update Adobe Flash Player to be compatible w/your new OS?

HTML5 video doesn't render correct

Hello there,
I'm experiencing some problems with the latest versions of firefox >= 24.
For some unknown reason all HTML5 videos don't render correctly - while rendering some lines appear not in place. To get a better idea of what I'm talking about, please visit this link http://awesomescreenshot.com/0d71x20rb0
My video drivers are fine as well as I'm running the latest version of firefox.
What is causing this problem and how could I fix it?

hello, can you try updating your graphics driver - this should be the latest version available for your system: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23106&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20%2864-bit%29*&DownloadType=Drivers

Adobe Flash Player/Shockwave is not running on FireFox... does not run in Youtube, or other video sites.

Hmmm... this morning I was watching youtube videos.. and I noticed a little lag. Really minor... but thought that shouldn't be happening.? So decided to see if I could fix it. Not sure what I did or if I did anything to cause this? I really don't think so. Maybe firefox.exe -p?? Was working fine up until today?
I've read a bunch of the forums and tried a bunch of stuff but still no go. When I disable protected mode it works fine, but I want protected mode to be enabled so that I'm... well... 'protected!'
I've uninstalled FireFox and Flash Player and reinstalled numerous times but still same thing.
I'm running Windows 8.1, with most recent Flash and FireFox. My computer is an i7 4700HQ 2.4 Ghz, 12 GB Ram etc... its a 6 month laptop.
Anyone know what the issue is? I've never experienced anything like it? I've ran Malaware bytes.. didn't find anything. Ran AVG and found one threat... I think it was the Crack threat (cockos??) does that ring a bell...? came from a torrent. That issue has been healed now tho.. not sure if they are related??
Also ran a disc cleanup and it took about 5 minutes... doesn't usually take that long but its all clean now. Deleted a bunch of debug dump files... again, not sure if that's related??
Here are a few of the crash error logs I've gotten recently:
bp-7e266393-2fd8-447c-8a0e-7299b2150426 2015-04-26 12:32 AM

bp-7d9929e7-42df-425b-a549-b4aa42150426 2015-04-25 9:13 PM
Anyways, I would like to still use Flash but its killing me right now trying to figure out whats going on. Would really appreciate some help/advice. Let me know if you need more info.
Cheers!

Some background information about the Adobe Flash Protected Mode for '''''christ1'''.
http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 that you have is a relatively low end graphics card and low end for on-board graphics chips, whichever you have. ''Unless that is a laptop that switches drivers for "gaming" which puts a lot more load on the hardware and runs the battery out a lot faster.'' Technically the HD 4600 ''should'' be enough for web browsing, but Flash is a lot more than simple web browsing.
IMO, if disabling the Flash Protected Mode solves that issue - do that. Or upgrade your hardware, especially if you have a separate Graphics Card ''[vs an on-board chip]'' or can install a better card in a desktop computer.
As far as YouTube videos goes, have you tried using the HTML5 setting for YouTube?
https://www.youtube.com/html5
Make that setting and Google will deliver HTML5 video when it is available for each "clip". From what I have seen ''[I'm not a big user of YouTube, though]'', like maybe 75% of the clips I see are available in HTML5 - ''ymmv''.
BTW, Mozilla is working on eliminating the need for even having to use Flash. They're working a a project which is code-named Shumway to play SWF-format files.
http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/
You can download it from that page, but it is at the early stages of development and needs a lot more work before it is truly usable.

Embedded Flash videos don't work

Since updating Firefox to 36, embedded Flash videos don't work. HTML5 and Flash videos on YouTube work fine. I have Click-To-Play enabled (disabling it didn't help too), but instead of a grey area with the message I just see a black area where the video is supposed to be. Does anyone else have this problem?

In need of a flash/html5/quicktime audio/video media player for a website

Hello everybody,
I'm looking to get some kind of audio/video media player for a website. I would like it to be customizable, and also most likely read a play list from some kind of text file or xml file.
Normally, I would look for some kind of flash media player, but recently the site might be read from Apple mobile devices also, which of course not flash which might be a problem, so I'm also looking into other options such as some kind of QuickTime media player web application or even html5 player.
I do not personally know how to code in flash or HTML 5, so I would be willing to hire someone to help out.
Is HTML 5 for long enough that it would play on most current browsers? I would imagine that HTML 5 might not work on older browsers–is this correct?
I don't know of any QuickTime media players - any links to get me started?
Does anyone know some solutions to this flash / apple issue?

Looks like you are getting a very good lesson in why Flash is the best choice for a Web media player.... plentilful, easily customizable, and is a "right now" solution. Good luck on getting your viewers to download and install the codex need to play an Ogg video!
To add the extra accessabilty for the iPhone etc, use swfobject to provide an alternative video file type... the .mov
Here is an example of a Flash video that plays on the iPhone (well sort of..):
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/qt/play_qt.html
Using swfobject for Flash detection, if the Web browser has the Flash plugin, the Flash .flv video is displayed, if not, the QT, .mov version is displayed.
View the source code for more exact details.
If the Web browser does not have the Flash plugin, alternate content is displayed, which in this case happens to be a QT player, which displays a .mov video. In this case it's just a single video. Now maybe you have a QT player with playlist... but let me tell you.. they are a lot rarer than Flash media players with playlists, xml playlist, etc.... Strong case for Flash here..
But your alt content could just as easily hold a QT media player (with playlist) if such an animal exists.

Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

I have a new problem with secondary web pages opening up without any action on my part other than simply moving the mouse pointer across the screen.

Is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site

i am not sure if this will make sense so please tell me if it
doesn't. is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end
of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site. the
video plays showing the name of the site then fades to show the
text "enter" which i want to make the link to the next page.

> the video plays showing the name of the
> site then fades to show the text "enter"
in FLASH set a gotourl action on the last frame of the move.
If this is a "splash page" and has a dancing company logo and
a throbbing
drumbeat- reconsider. Just make the homepage of the website
the homepage.
Don't make people wait to see some content.

Video won't run. telling me to update flash player. click on update for mac won't load?

video won't run, telling me to update flash player, click on update for mac won't update. do i need to load flash player and is it ok for mac?

Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.
Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.
If you use Safari to view videos, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.

Flash videos don't work with PepperFlash disabled (but with system plugin enabled) on Chrome!

Hello everyone,
Basically, Google Chrome lags a lot when I use PepperFlash and so I have heard that disabling it and using the system flash will have better performance. I have done this but when I disable PepperFlash, the flash videos don't work as it says flash player has crashed. Also, I would like to resolve the lag and bad performance with flash videos on chrome because the video playback on Internet Explorer is a lot better than Chrome(Never thought I would have to say that) atm. A possible solution might be to install 32-Bit Chrome instead
Summary:
Flash videos lag(most likely due to PepperFlash being used according to other people)
When PepperFlash is disabled, the system flash plugin does not work in chrome as it apparently crashes every time.
I would like help on how to resolve the bad performance and be able to use the system flash plugin to have no lag on videos and livestreams.
Thanks,
Talha

Need help with coding for HTML5 Video with Flash fallback

Hello, need help with my coding in Dreamweaver CS5.5 for HTML5 video with Flash fallback. Not sure if the coding is correct. Do I need anything else Javascipt etc?

The reason you see a blank page is because it's trying to load the file that is pretty humungous and there is no preloader. So, you see a white screen till it complets loading.
Also, the reason why its loading a SWF file and not any of HTML5 type video is because your doctype declaration is XHTML1.0 and not HTML5.
Change the 1st line in your .html file from:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Then see if your HTML5 video types load with <video> tag.
