Flash not playing on Mac OS 10.6.8, Flash 11.8.800.94, Firefox 22.0

Flash not playing on Mac OS 10.6.8, Flash 11.8.800.94, Firefox 22.0
Let me also say this flash does work in Safari... just not Firefox. When a flash media link is clicked on FF will go to the link but only a black window appears with no text or error messages or sound.
As far as I know I am running the latest version of Firefox and Flash. I have no plans to upgrade from Snow Leopord to Lion.
Another possible data point for this is Flash updates do not install just by clicking on the download. The DMG downloads but I get an unknown data type when it trys to launch. There is an easy work-around for this be simply launching the DMG from Finder where it runs just fine.
Any thoughts as to why Firefox is not running Flash media files?

Hi Terry, What version of Flash Player are you using? You should be able to tell by going to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Does it happen in browsers? Could you test in Safari, Firefox and Chrome? What happens when you try to play them? Is it possible to post a screen shot? Thanks, -Dave

Netflix Would Not Play on Mac OS X (Lion) After Upgrade

Netflix would not play on Mac OS X v10.7.5
After I upgraded to my older mac to Mac OS X Lion it would not play.
MacBook 13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Processor 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Netflix is stuck on the loading cue with the blue dot circling.
Spent hours on phone with Microsoft and Netflix, neither one was able to help me and told me to find help with Apple.
Already tried:
- Deleting ALL silverlight files/uninstall and reinstalling updated version 5 multiple times with restarting computer
- Cleaning history/cache
- Checked connectivity issues
- Changed proxy/hardware settings on wifi connection
- Check audio output/input settings
- Tried Chrome and Safari - same issue. Silverlight states that its not compatible with Firefox 17.
If anyone has any suggestions let me know.
Thanks!

I have the same problem, Mac OS 10.7.4

Videos uploaded on SharePoint do not play on MAC OS

Hi,
We are facing an issue wherein we notice that any video uploaded on SharePoint 2013, does not play on MAC OS. It continues to remain in the "Loading" state and does not start playback. Moreover an authentication window is prompted behind the safari
browser window, entering credentials into which does not prove any helpful either.
I've already gone through this blog and believe this is a standard issue.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepoint_me_in_the_right_direction/archive/2014/01/23/playing-windows-authenticated-sharepoint-2013-videos-from-mac-os-x-device-and-safari-browser-_2d00_-solution.aspx
We already have in place one of the solutions (e.g. blob cache), described in this post, but it has not helped to resolve this issue.
Any suggestions would be highly helpful.
Thanks -
Girish

Hi Girish,
According to your description, my understanding is that the video cannot play on Mac OS which was uploaded to SharePoint.
I recommend to use HTML5 code to embed the video in SharePoint and then it can play on Mac OS with Safari browser.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

Check to see if they have an app or get a third party browser that claims to support flash conversion(photon, sky fire, iswifter, etc).

Flash Player not playing videos (Mac OSX / Chrome)

Last week Flash would display a pop-up telling me that I needed to update and would I like to use
Flash Player this time. I would choose (Run Flash Player this time).
Then updated flash to find that it now does not work at all. No videos or flash sites work.
• I have gone through the optioins in my browser as well as the Flash Player options from the application.
• I have looked through forum posts and self help via the Adobe site.
• I have contacted Adobe in an online chat, waited 20 minutes only to be
told that because I am not a paying customer they didn't care enough to help. (not a direct quote)
• I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
Clicked on ever option and restarted my computer.
So far I have found nothing that will help.
~Adobe forums, your my only hope. *holigram cuts out*

I am having trouble seeing any of the videos on Adobe. I tried viewing in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8. I followed the Adobe Flash Player Help and it didn't help. I am also using the latest version of Flash Player (11.4.402.265). Any suggestions? I would really love to watch some of the Adobe TV videos.

Local video file (.mp4) file not play in MAC OS using netstream (NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound)

I have developed adobe air application using adobe flash builder 4.6 for Windows and Mac OS. Application allow user to download movie (.mp4) file in his system at specific location for play without live streaming. File downloading correctly in both OS and also file playing from download location in Window application correctly. but when start playing file Mac OS application not start playing.
When start playing in mac OS, NetStatusEvent.Net_Status event return "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" event info code. I have found one solution for mac OS is use colon notation instead of slash notation. I have tried it but it also not working.
Code:
_nc = new NetConnection();
_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.Net_Status, connectionHandler);
_nc.connect(null);
private function connectionHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
trace("Connection to server: " + event.info.code);
/// Get "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" code in mac OS.
slash notation path: /Users/mayur/Downloads/myvideo.mp4
Colon notation path: I have tried following colon notation path
1) :Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4
2) Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4
3) Macintosh HD:Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4 (Macintosh HD - Drive name)
Please help me to solve this issue.

Finally I found a solution...
The problem is that AIR on Android stores the application data in the protected directory /data/... which is not accessible by StageWebView (or any browser app).
So you have to copy the video file you want to play to a temporary pubic directory on the sd-card for example and use this in StageWebView.
You also have to create a temporary html-page with the video-tag and load this page in StageWebView (not the string) because external resources are only loaded in StageWebView when using an URL.
On iOS the application storage directory is readable for StageWebView so you don't have to do this step.
Hope this helps

PLEASE HELP! Flash not playing in Firefox or Chrome after install!

PROBLEM: Have updated to all newest versions of Firefox, Flash, Shockwave, etc., Updated Nvidia Driver as well - My OS is 32 bit, have uninstalled and installed Adobe Flash 10.3.183.10 - install is always successful and plugins are avail however willt load content in firefox or chrome, was able to play youtube but in other sites after page content downloads get white box and flash message says: Movie did not load
I have attempted many of the troubleshooting suggestions and after each reboot, end up still unable to play image. I did note in the newest version of Firefox it stated that the Java was not compatible and disabled the plug in? is this the problem>and how to fix>workaround if so????
Will provide any additional info if needed! thanks!!!!!!!!
below is screenshot of what I get repeatedly since updating Flash Friday morning (9/23)

Same deal for me - I'm unable to get Chrome or Safari to play flash files - on our site...www.lindsaytruffler.com - a flash movie is supposed to play underneath where it says "welcome to Lindsay Truffler on the web"- it doesn't and then if I right-click - it says movie not loaded. This happens on both Windows and Mac at different locations. Windows is Win 7 64 Bit, Mac is Snow Leopard. Flash version says it's You have version 11,0,1,152 installed and that appears to be the latest update.

Latest Version of Flash not working in mac Firefox

I have Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X 10.5.6
I'm complaining about Firefox 3.0.5 not displaying Flash
properly.
I have been getting this "Get Adobe Flash Player" logo
instead of music playlist that is supposed to be there. So I click
and download. Go back to the site. No change. I cleared all Firefox
private data and restart firefox. No change.
I find the Flash uninstaller from Adobe. I uninstall Flash.
Check the website to see if it's really uninstalled, and I get a
message bar at the top of Firefox telling me additional plug ins
needed to view the page. So I click that and it takes me to
download Adobe Flash. Download the correct version for my computer.
If I go to this test page:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/
It says "You have version 10,0,12,36 installed" and I can see
the movie play.
But when I go back to the site the flash ads work, but the
music playlist still has the "Get Adobe Flash Player" logo!
What do I need to do? It works fine in Safari.

I had this very same problem, and I solved it by removing the
FF extension AdBlock. If you've got AdBlock installed, that's your
culprit. If you don't, well, I can't help you!

HD movie from iTunes will not play on Mac Mini

Having bought an HD movie from iTunes I can not play it on my Mac Mini.
Just get audio and Grey and white grid. Controls are there but invisible. Why?
It will play on my Macbook Air?
I hve got no help from iTune support!
Thanks

I spoke to Apple Care today and they told me to reset the VIdeo Card preferences by re-starting the mini whilst holding down command/Alt/P/R until a second start tone sounded. It seemed to sort out my problem.
But the real reason why it worked was that I had plugged in a keyboard and was not controling the Mini using Screen sharing (via Macbook Air) as I normally do. As soon as I went back to screen sharing the movie would not play again.
So if you are playing movies on a mini don't control using screen sharing.

Flash not playing correctly in Chrome or Firefox

I did a Flash SWF file on CS5.5, and then published the output. It has 5 imported videos (FLV), all placed within the same directory as the FLA, SWF and HTML files. When I go ahead and open the HTML file on Chrome, the SWF file plays, but when I get to the frame where the placed FLV files were supposed to play, the videos don't appear at all. Same goes for Firefox. However, it plays correctly in Internet Explorer.
I'm a total Flash beginner, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.
I've uploaded screenshots of the HTML code and of the SWF file in Chrome.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/89001193/screenshot2.jpg
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/89001193/screenshot3.jpg
Also, I tried creating a Win Projector EXE file, and I get an error dialog saying "Destination Directory Does Not Exist. Change Your Publish Settings", whe in fact I used the default publish settings.
I'd really appreciate expert advice on this, especially if you can "dumb down" your answers to total beginner level.

Are you using relative links to the paths of the media, e.g.: assets/videos/movie1.flv ?
What are you using for FLV playback, the FLVPlayback component itself or are you handling NetStream/Video yourself, or StageVideo?
Default publish settings are never to be trusted in Flash, ever. Paths are RARELY ever saved correctly unless they're relative and even then it's not safe to assume it's correct. I've, long ago, made it a habit of going into publish settings, clicking the browse icon next to SWF/HTML/EXE/etc and manually set the location to publish every single time. If you do that the error should go away about publish destination (and yes, it's really irritating).
What FLV codec did you use?

Flash Not Working on Mac OS X 10.6.4

I have been trying to view Adobe Lightroom 3 Tutorials on the Adobe site ("Adobe TV") and the Flash movies will not play on either my iMac or my MBA - I get an empty box where the movie should play, but no error messages at all. These movies play just fine on my Windows 7 PC. I have been able to get Flash movies to play on my MBA on other sites, but on Adobe, nothing works. I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, but that didn't help. Can anyone get these (http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-lightroom-3/) to play? Something has changed in the last update of OS X - these used to work just fine.

HI,
If you have ClickToFlash installed, that could be a factor.
Also, follow the instructions here to clear the Flash cache.

Progressive Flash Not playing properly from remote server

I have Flash CS3.
PROBLEM: I've encoded a video using Flash's CS3 "Progressive
Download" option and then uploaded the resulting video (along with
it's associated files created by Flash ie: .fla, .swf, script
folder with action script, etc.) to my server (webpage and video
was created through Dreamweaver CS3).
RESULT: A flash video that plays on the web, but has pink
colored digital boxes that breakup the picture... poor quality.
Please follow this link for an example:
http://rivhawk.tripod.com/index.html
I've watched multiple step-by-step tutorials by Adobe for
creating and uploading Flash video, both with Flash CS3 and even
Dreamweaver CS3. I've tested by creating the flash content in Flash
CS3 and directly through Dreamweaver. The same digital noise, pink
blocks occured.
NOTE: Before uploading the flash content and associated
files, I tested the flash video in my browser through Dreamweaver
(from my local directory, not remote server)...and it
plays/operates perfectly. It's only once it's uploaded that the
problem occurs.
I've encoded the video with Flash 8 and Flash 9 at low,
medium and high qualities...same results (even by different
computers accessing the content on the internet). It happens in
Firefox and Internet Explorer.
After 3 days of tests and research (and viewing samples of
other beautiful progressive download videos on the internet) I'm
wondering if I am missing something very simple, if there is a bug,
is this a known issue etc.
Please help, and please understand that I've been through all
the tutorials on creating/using Flash Video...and specifically
using the Progressive Download option for use on remote servers
that don't have the Flash Media Server.
Please assist.

You can play video from any server by using a full URL ie
http://www.anotherdomain.com/flashvideo.flv
<param name="movie" value="videos/rep.swf" />
Looks like you're building an FLV player in Flash to play
your video rather
than embedding it using DW. If so you need to open the source
FLA you used
to generate 'rep.swf' and insert a full URL to your flv file,
then publish
the swf and upload again.
> I've tried changing the value and embed source tags to
be complete urls
> referencing the actual video location, but I still get
an error saying the

requesting?
As above, or you can just embed the video on a web page in
DW, using a full
URL to your flv. If your flvs are on a server and you are
connected to the
internet, you should be able to play the flv using preview in
browser before
uploading the page.

Please help, DVD not playing in Mac that burnt t

I recently bought an iMac Core duo 17in. I finished my first project in iDVD and everything looked fine when I previewed in iDVD (I used slideshows exported from iPhoto as movies). Then I burnt it to a Fujifilm DVD+R. The process went smoothly and when finished the Mac ejected the finished DVD. Now the weird thing is that when I loaded the DVD to watch it in the same Mac, the computer was unable to read it and just ejected it w/o opening any application. Furthermore, my ONKYO DVD player did not recognize the disc at all. Any suggestions? Can it be related to the Region Codes and NTSC/PAL setting? But the Mac should be able to always read the DVD...It burnt it! Very frustrating...
Sorry for long message. Thanks for any help...
iMac Core Duo 17in Mac OS X (10.4.6)

You should not be using +R format DVDs. They will not play in most standard DVD players, although computers seem to be more forgiveable...
The recommended brand on this forum is Verbatim -R ( and not rewriteable either!)
I use TDK -R and they work fine.
