Flash player 9 slow & choppy - is it Firefox? or QT?

Hello all,
Any sites with Flash Player 9 like ESPN play very choppily. This just started in the last couple of weeks. I have done these recent updates: Firefox 2.0.0.7, installed Cocktail (for maintenance and run it every week), and I did Aiport Software update 4.2.
Wondering if this is related to QT ?
Adobe has offered no help and says since it is free that's that. There are a bunch of people with same problem who have posted in Adobe Flash forum.
I'm at wits end.
I have: repaired permissions, uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player and reinstalled Firefox. The player installs fine but continually rebuffers every few seconds.
thanks,
Al
Same on either computer. Using 10.3.9 on ibook and 10.2.8 on imAc

"but I have repaired permissions a lot"
But did you do so directly from your System Install CD/DVD? Also, when using 3rd party utilities to fix directory damage it is best to use the CD rather than install the utility to avoid system interference & false readings.
You must use the versions that are compatible w/your OS system & keep the utilities updated to avoid damaging/harming/trashing your system.
The following are 3 of the Discussions favorites:
DiskWarrior
Highly recommended for *directory damage* repairs.
TechTool Pro
Multi-functional utility.
Drive Genius Multi-functional utility.
You will need to make your own decision on which to purchase. Read up on them on their websites because each does something a little different.
"I'm confused. Isn't "the newly installed Adobe software work its magic," = installing Adobe flash player? "
QT does not play flash files. It needs help (plug-ins) to play those type of files.
"How do you view say the ESPN vids with other players - I don't see how to do this?"
The players that I listed in my previous post in this thread play flash files in conjunction w/QT.

Hello all,
Any sites with Flash Player 9 like ESPN play very choppily. This just started in the last couple of months. I have done these recent updates: Firefox 2.0.0.7, installed Cocktail (for maintenance and run it every week), and I did Aiport Software update 4.2. These are the only changes I have made to the computer. I will post in Adobe flash forum as soon as I figure out where that is. Checking there before; I didn't see a big thread on any problem like this.
thanks,

Resetting my router resolved my issues but this isn't working for others...
I also re-installed Firefox and Flash Player but the router seemed to do it and I have no idea why.
Most flash videos for me like Comedy Central for ex. barely play ahead of the download so I have to pause the vid and let the download get ahead of it. Perhaps my computer is too slow.
Flash player forum has lots of help ideas to and there are techs trying to help.

Not that I'm aware of. Can you create a new bug report at bugbase.adobe.com detailing the problem? Please include URLs so we can quickly test this out. Once the bug has been entered, please post back with the bug number or URL so that others affected can add comments and votes.

I've down loaded adobe flash player but when I try to veiw video on firefox I'm still told that I need adobe flash player. How do I get firefox to see the flash player download?

I was trying to view a video I uploaded to facebook using firefox. The system told me to down load adobe flash player. I did but still get the message that I need to down load flash player. How do I get firefox to see the down loaded adobe flash player?

by installing from within Firefox, Internet Explorer has its own version (Active-X).
Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash
* http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want
* http://get.adobe.com/reader/
After the download,
#bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
#close Firefox with '''File > Exit''' or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close.
#If install does not proceed, '''terminate "firefox.exe"''' and '''"plugin-container.exe"''' from the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
#* Windows 7 shortcut to the WTM is "Ctrl+Shift+Esc"
#* or on any Windows system from "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then choose Windows Task Manager.
#*Make sure that "firefox.exe" is no longer running -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu, and do the same for "plugin-container.exe" if it is found there.
#proceed with the install.
'''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
Find updates for your installed plugins at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck
-- best to use Adobe's site to really see if their plug-ins are up to date.
Please fix your caps lock or read what you type, do you think anybody could read my answer if I typed in all caps.
If the above fails to correct the problem, I would try uninstalling Adobe Flash from your system entirely first, from the control panel then "Programs and Features".

Installing Adobe Flash Player 10.0.42 Plugin for Firefox 3.5.7

I currently have Firefox 3.5.7 installed and am trying to access a site that requires the current version of Adobe Flash Player (10.0.42). When I download and install it, the website still doesn't recognize flash player being installed.
I go to Adobe.com, make sure I am downloading the one for WinXP/Firefox and install it, then it says that it is successfully installed. However, when I try to access the site, and it says that the current version of flash player is not installed, with a link to the adobe site to download the latest version (which I already did).
I have tried uninstalling the flash player, from both Windows and Adobe's uninstaller, and reinstalling with no success. I have even tried uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, still nothing. For fun, I tried updating IE, and it works fine, but I REALLY don't like IE.
Another note: when I uninstall Flash Player, it doesn't remove it from my machine (add/remove program list), even when Windows asks, "Adobe ... is already uninstalled, would you like to remove it from the list?" Additionally, when I go to Adobe's Flash Player version tester site, it reports that IE is running version 10.0.42, but when I access it with FF, it shows a link to download the latest Adobe FP.

The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox

The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox, please send a new release to fix the problem ASAP!

ok   here's more mystery. i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step. aqlso installed latest java. i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube
                                                                                       imdb

                                                                                       ebaumsworld
                                  here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                       msn
                                                                                       reuters
                                here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                          bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't. also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

Hi, You might want to review the Troubleshooting Guide as it has been updated and a lot of new information is now included. If you prefer you can use the Manual Installer for IE which you'll see there. A lot of the questions that I would ask are listed also.

Can I run 32 bit firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how ? Flash player loads slow.

Can I run 32 bit Firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how do I do that? Flash player loads videos slowly. You tube videos are mostly loading slowly or hanging up. It seems to have happened after the last Firefox update.

According to website I have Flash Player installed but I cannot run a program (BBC iPlayer DeskTop) that requires 64 Bit Flash player Any ideas?
Does that program require the Flash Player ActiveX Control, or the plugin? If you only have the ActiveX Control (for Internet Explorer) installed, then you may also need the plugin (for other browsers). Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Satellite C850 - Why does Flash Player give me choppy videos?

Hi, I have the Satellite C850-1MD, PSCBWE, Windows 8.1 64-bit.
I have two problems.
A. When I use Flash Player for streaming videos it gives me choppy playback. It *doesn't matter* if I use lower quality videos because it chops even though I use the lowest quality on sites like Youtube.
B. If I use Silverlight it streams nicely up to 2 mbit/s but if i raise it to 3 mbit/s the playback gets choppy both with sound and graphics.
Is it my broadband connection lacking capacity?
No.
I also have an old stationary AMD Dual Core with Nvidia 8400 GS and the same conncetion: it streams videos in Silverlight with 3 mbit/s flawlessly.
I've tried with IE 11, Chrome and Firefox. I've cleared the cache. I've turned off and on hardware acceleration, but with the same results.
When i search for the latest drivers for my Toshiba I'm getting confused because I get several options both for sound and graphics card. How can I find out which driver versions I should have installed?
Do you have any other solutions?
/henrik

> A. When I use Flash Player for streaming videos it gives me choppy playback. It doesn't matter if I use lower quality videos because it chops even though I use the lowest quality on sites like Youtube.
This is mostly related to slow data streaming.
You said its not related to your broadband connection. Well, it must not be an issue with your broadband connection but Im thinking about server load.
> When i search for the latest drivers for my Toshiba I'm getting confused because I get several options both for sound and graphics card. How can I find out which driver versions I should have installed?
You can find your devices in device manger.
The device manager provides you info about all devices which are built in the notebook.
But honestly dude, Im sure its not a driver problem.
By the way: the notebook specifications say that the notebook supports Intel HD Graphics 3000
The Intel HD GPU is an internal graphic card which does not provide a lot graphic performance. Nevertheless it should be good enough for video streaming. However, you could check the Intel HD media control panel to improve Intel HD GPU performance

Why is Flash Player so slow?

I can't play HD videos from Youtube or Vimeo smoothly with Flash Player. (Flash 10.0.45.2, Windows XP SP3, latest ATI drivers)
The framerate is low and sometimes the sound and the video hangs. The problem is the same on Firefox 3.6 and Internet Explorer 8.
When I download the videos (with DownloadHelper) and open them with Media Player Classic and the FFDshow codec, it works perfectly. Unfortunately FFDshow can't be used for streaming, I always have to download the video first.
It seems that FFDshow is much faster than Flash Player.
Here's a vido who hangs on Flash Player but not with FFDshow : http://vimeo.com/8614771

Speed problems with Flash usually have nothing to do with the computer, but rather with Flash itself. Unfortunately, Flash has become ubiquitous on the internet, especially when it comes to video. Flash certainly has its uses, but video is not one of them. I can normally run 3 HD videos on my computer simultaneously with no problems. Play even one video (not even HD) on my computer with Flash, and it uses 100% of my CPU and is still very choppy.

Flash player runs slow, jerky, performance problems (Apple OS 10.4.7)

I'm working on a Macintosh 1.35GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OSX version
10.4.7. I have Flash Player 9 installed on my machine. When I run
games on the Neopets web site (yes, I am an adult and yes the games
are actually fun) many of them are so jerky and slow that they are
completely unplayable. I have the same problem on another machine
(Dual 2Ghz processor, Mac OS 10.4.7). What's weird is that the
games used to run faster. I believe the slowdown occured in one of
my recent OS updates. I've tried this with both Safari and Firefox
and have the same problem with both.
In particular: Moon Rock Rampage (try picking up a piece or
killing a creature - both will grind to a halt), which can be seen
here:

Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash Player v10 slow and crashy in Debian/Linux

Hello!
Is it me or is the latest Flash Player v10 plugin slow in
IceWeasel/SeaMonkey in 32-bit Debian/Linux? I could CPU usages were
high for Flash too. I have an Athlon 64 X2 dual core CPU with 3 GB
of RAM, EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512 MB; NVIDIA drivers), etc.
I had WIndows XP Pro. SP2 and SeaMonkey, and no speed problems with
Flash v10.
I also noticed having Flash running and looking at settings,
my SeaMonkey Web browser crashes. :(
Thank you in advance. :)

I've discovered that with lastest alpha x64 native version I've more performance problem vs the wrapper/x86 version (on 64 bit system).
I've removed the native version (installed manually from me) and installed from synaptic the "flashplugin-nonfree" package (x86 version + wrapper), and created mms.cfg on /etc/adobe/mms.cfg with this line:
OverrideGPUValidation=true
This line can make system unstable (not my system).
If this happen, you can try to add on your firefox link this line before "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1" without quotes.
The result is:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 firefox
I hope this info can help Flash Linux community.
Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 x64,

Flash Player verrrry slow.

This problem has been going on for at least a month now, and I've asked numerous different places without fixing the problem so far.
Firefox asked me to update to the newest release before the 4.0 beta (I apologize, I can't remember the version). I went to Farmville after updating and noticed that it was very laggy and taking a long time for my mouse to respond to my clicks. After this, I have been having all sorts of problems with anything that uses Flash. In Tinychat, sometimes I'll be typing and the words will take a long time to appear after I've finished typing, they appear one letter at a time, slowly.
I also apologize because I can't remember everything I've done in the past month to fix this problem, because I've tried a lot of different things. The ones I've tried the most are:
Uninstalling Flash, restarting, reinstalling Flash.
Updating my drivers
Turning off hardware acceleration
Using a different browser (Safari, tried Internet Explorer but a lot of ActiveX stuff, I just didn't really bother. Problem persisted in Safari.)
And a bunch of combinations of the above. Needless to say, NOTHING has worked and the problem persists. I will add that yesterday I was at a friends house, and for whatever reason, without trying any of these methods, Farmville was back to normal again. I asked if it was the internet speed, but my friend said likely not. I just thought I'd add that in case it means anything.
Operating System: Windows 7 64 bit
Web Browser: Firefox 4.0beta 1 and 2(it says Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; rv:2.0b2) Gecko/20100720 Firefox/4.0b2 but I'm not sure if its 32 or 64 bit.) , Safari 5.0.1 (7533.17.8)
Flash Player Version: WIN 10,1,82,76 (Also says "Debug Player: No")
I hope that's enough info, but I'll be happy to supply more if asked.

Hi, Your thread doesn't close. On your drivers, you can contact Microsoft and the Manufacturer of your computer. They can help you with those. All of your drivers must be the correct ones and compatible with Microsoft. If your computer was made by Dell, then you go to the Dell site, etc.
I don't understand how you can think that Flash Player is the cause of your problems, because it is Installed correctly?
If your Flash Player was not Installed correctly, then I may agree with you, but I cannot agree that Flash Player is your problem. It doesn't even make sense.
Malware, viruses, too many add ons on a computer can cause slowness. There are other reasons but those are some.
Facebook, Farmville and their many games are known for problems.
If you do some searching on the Microsoft sites and forums about the slowness, you'll find more topics than you would have time to read:-) There are forums for every Windows edition, and every Internet Explorer version and anything made by Microsoft. There are many reasons that a computer can be slow, but I can't get into all of that. The Flash Forum is for Flash issues and problems that are related to that.
Perhaps another user will have some suggestions and will post to your thread.
Thanks,

Flash player is very choppy

Hello.
Web videos in Flash Player 9 (Firefox, OS 10.3.9) are very
choppy. My download speed is 1.6 mbs; I am using a G4, dual 450.
Can you tell me why I am unable to view videos and what to do about
it?
Thanks.

Not sure what the problem is, but before this last update I
never had a complaint about any type Flash Product, but today is my
first, I have been watching the television websites on my PC for a
long time now, I love to watch the shows on CBS (which is my
favorite site) in a large view, which is full screen. However with
this last update I am now unabe to do this, because as soon as I go
larger screen the video becomes so choppy that it is unwatchable.
Please repair or atleast patch this problem so that I may be able
to watch the shows again in FULL VIEW!
Thank you
Krydon of Houston
