Flash media player starts and stops

I have Flash 9,0,115,0 and it works according to the test on
the adobe website. However, when I try to play google videos, they
start and stop and and freeze. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to get a hold of this tool or any similar
"before" I install FMS 3.0. I'm glad I didn't install it last
weekend. I didn't know there were some risks of not playing my
current flv's. Now, I want to check all of my flv's before I make
the move...
Also, is there any chance at all, that the
start/stop/start/stop condition in all my videos (under FMS 2)
after 2 connections could be blamed on the player? I have a custom
made player. Can you point me to the right resources?
I'm fairly new to this technology and really appreciate your
time in answering my questions.
Thanks,
-Mario

Is the video starting and stopping or just the audio? What OS, browser, and Flash Player Version are you using? Can you also provide us with a URL to try out?

Flash video is just awful - starts and stops

10.6.8 iMac 4Gb ram. Main browser Firefox.
Flash video has gotten progressively worse with Adobe updates over last 3 months. Used to run youtube smooth as glass.
Now yt video runs for a 30 sec then stops, restarts after 5seconds, runs for 15, stops for 5. If you rerun the same video (see wrchd.com for Argentine Rally preview video), it stops and starts at the same spots.
I have Little snitch running a you can see a nice buffer load of data come in to start the video, then there is a period when there's no activity until it stops. It sort of like Flash gets carried away watching its own display and forgets to get more info.
Same results watching dailyshow.
I've tried turning hardware acceleration in Flash off and on with no change in performance.
So why does Flash fail now?
Thanks for any advice.

How to download mozilla fire fox and adobe flash media player

Hi I am so lost i cant seem to download all the stuff i need to set up my notebook (iBook G4) i just need to find out how i can update my mac os x 10.4 to a later version also since mine is obsolete it wont let me download firefox or adobe flash media player. Im not good with computers so i may need instructions to be easy to understand.

Hello,
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
Flash is a nightmare, but my notes on that...
Look for this for the Standalone player "Download the Macintosh Flash Player 10 Projector content debugger (ZIP, 5.95 MB)"
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...

Stand alone player...

Or free 3rd party...
http://www.wimpyplayer.com/products/wimpy_standalone_flv_player.html
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Flashing stacked sequence auto start and stop

Seems like this should be so easy but I'm stumped.
I want to use some flashing leds while some of my data is plotted but can’t figure out a way to programmatically start and stop a simple flashing stacked sequence.
thanks for any help.

OK. Then put the flashing in the loop with Stuff 2, which I presume is the one for which you want to show activity. I modified your program to do this. I also eliminated the sequence structure by using dataflow. You can probably get down to one loop by changing to a state machine structure.
If the flashing rate needs to be a different rate than the Stuff 2 logic, put the slower part into a case structure which only executes one time for every n iterations.

I need a Flash Media player....

Hey folks, how you doing....
I'm working on a project and I'm in need of a flash media
player, but not just any kind....
I've work with various mp3 as well as FLV video players, and
have had much success using them, but for this project I want to
add something special. It needs to be a bit of a all in one
unit....
The best example I could find of the kind of thing I'm
looking for was on the official John Mayer Site. (
http://www.johnmayer.com )
As you can see I would like the player to be able to play
back Video as well as audio (with jpeg background), have a active
play list and of course have the standard controls: Play, stop,
volume, next etc.... I would assume that the data will be fed from
an XML file as most players do.
If there's anyone out there that can help me with a easy
solution to implement this, or know whether I could purchase one
(commercially or private), please let me know. I would appreciate
it very much.
Thanks in advance.
Johnny

Hi Johnny,
You can create your own FLV player and add the mp3
functionality into this
example.
http://www.flashjester.com/index.php?section=faq_search&search=flv#385
p.s it resizes at runtime which normal flash files you cannot
do.
Hope you find this useful. Its a good start.

Starting and Stopping FMLE from command line yields corrupt .flv files

I am using FMLE to record and live stream TV content. In order to this I am remotely calling FMLEcmd in order to start and stop encoding processes. The problem that I am running in to is that the .flv files generated are corrupt. The odd thing is that if I use the exact same profile XML from the GUI, then the encoding process works just fine and results appear as intended.
Here is the way my workflow works:
I start the process by calling
FMLEcmd /p C:\lighttpd\htdocs\xml\default.xml /l C:\lighttpd\htdocs\logs\log.txt
then at the conclusion of the recording I call
FMLEcmd /s "C:\lighttpd\htdocs\files\default.flv"
When I attempt to open the files using FFmpeg I get a codec error saying that no codecs were detected. When I attempt to open the files in VLC I get a error saying that the media types are "Undf". When I attempt to open or modify the files with flvtool2 I get an end-of-file error. My guess is that my stop command is incorrect and somehow abruptly stopping the stream, but I don't know another way to stop the stream. Do I need to specify a specific stream duration in the XML and make sure to call the stop command *after* the duration has been reached? What would cause this codec corruption when the same profile works properly from the GUI?
Here is the profile I am attempting to use.

If issue of corrupt file after cmd line not in GUI mode. Are you using some automation to copy/paste output flv to someother location?
AFAIK, after placing stop command, FMLE took some time to write proper EOF in FLV. wait ~10 sec for FMLE to complete file writing process and than play in FLV PLayer.
I tried manually with steps you mentioned and it's working fine for me.I playerd file in Applian Flash PLayer. "http://www.applian.com/flvplayer/"

WHY DO THE VIDEOS I AM TRYING TO VIEW (YOU TUBE ETC) START AND STOP ALL THE TIME.. I HATE THAT!!!

Why do the videos that I am trying to view (you tube etc) always start and stop. it is very annoying and I can't seem to fix it.... thanks for your pointers... as you can see, I am not a techie. the fact that numbers, letters and picture appear on my computer screen is

Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
A suggestion:
Go to YouTube, open any video and press pause (don't do this while video is playing).
Click the ctrl key or “right click” the mouse in the middle of the video window. The settings for flash player will pop up.
Select the video settings then select "enable hardware acceleration."
Press close.
Now RESTART YOUR COMPUTER not just Safari if that is your browser of choice.

Starting and stopping video and MP3

I can't seem to get around my video and audio files starting when I arrive at the page. I'm even using some example code with start and stop buttons. This is in CS4 Flash. I expect it's because the ActionScript is in the wrong place because when I run the movie it flashes through all of the pages on the site without stopping at the home page. Is there some generic code that will allow me to simply swap out the name of the video or audio file I want to start. If there is, do I need to locate it on its own layer at the top of the timeline? Thanks to anyone who can help.

>>Why is it that the default setting for a video player placed on the stage
is to start playing when the page appears? I would think it would be
paused.<<
I don't know it doesn't seem any more logical to have it paused. I assume it
is just a preference on the part of the developers of Flash.
>>Is there some piece of script that can correct this situation<<
There are several ways to pause the video playback at teh beginning of the
Flash movie. It actually depends on how you have the movie inserted into the
time line. If you used an FLVPlayback component, then all you have to do is
click to select the component, open the component inspector
(window>component Inspector) and se the autoplay value for the component to
false. If you have the video inserted another way let me know.
>>Forgive my naivete but I am trying to learn the ways of Actionscript
wherever I can find it and builds something at the same time.<<
Thats always hard. What tecnology do you normally work with Ajax? C++
The comment about the behavior of video suggests you work with a technology
that has the opposite autoplay behavior.

Videos keep starting and stopping

I cannot play videos from websites or YouTube, The video will
play a few seconds, stop for a few seconds or minutes. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled Flash.
OS: Windows XP Professional
Browser: IE 7 or Firefox 2.0.0.16
Connection: High speed dial up
Video Player: Flash 9
Thank you.

It is now working fine for me (knock on wood).
There are a couple of things I tried, so I am not sure if it
was a combination of these, or if something else changed. First, I
uninstalled and reinstalled the player a number of times. (After
doing this each time, however, it still kept starting and
stopping.) Second, I right-clicked on the player during playback to
pull up the settings, clicked the folder icon, and set the local
storage to maximum. (After doing this, however, it still kept
starting and stopping.) Third, I ran an updated version of
Ad-Aware, which caught and deleted more tracking cookies than my
virus checker was doing. The next day, everything on the Daily Show
site seemed to work fine (still haven't checked other sites).
So my suspicion is that some kind of tracking cookie
installed itself and was causing the problems. I hope it
helps.

Hello,I need help.ipad 3 does not support flash media player.which player must I download instead of flash media player?

Hello,I need help.ipad 3 does not support flash media player.which player must I download instead of flash media player?

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

Flash media player in my browser resets security/privacy settings!

Why do the last three versions of flash media player in my browser reset my security and privacy settings leaving my system totally vunerable??? I have set and reset multiple times both locally and on the global settings panel on the Adobe web site.

Reguardless of what is "encoded" into Shockwave Flash streaming player the fact that the settings default back to accept update notifications, allow peer to peer sharing, and storage settings still exist since the last several program updates.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
All programs have been updated, re-installed to all current versions. Checked everyday the player will reset anywhere from one to five days from being set. I also check before and after any utilities run on my systems to verify the change is not caused by any resident commands or software. Yes this happens on different computers and OS.
I run all maintenance and security manually, including updates of any kind.
