Flash Player can't resume video stream after 5 mins inactivity

When viewing streamed videos on a guitar tutorial website, if I pause for 5 minutes or more (to practice) I can't continue playing the video. When I click play it says 'loading' but just stays like that continually, or until the window is refreshed. The site uses real time streaming, not progressive downloading.
So I guess the connections timed out and been dropped after 5 minutes of inactivity, is this right? If so, has it been dropped by the server or by the player. Can it be configured at either end to stop this, or to lengthen the time before it happens. Thanks, John

Hi John, If you didn't turn off that hardware acceleration, I certainly would do so. This reverts from GPU rendering back to software rendering. This has been recommended with several of the last versions of Flash Player. Also updating the video card or video card driver to the latest version. That is needed for the hardware acceleration to work.
Now this link is from Microsoft and it is for IE9. However, the basics discuss GPU/Software rendering and graphics, etc and that would apply to IE, since FP contains this technology.
It may be on the server end, but I tend to think it's the above due to what's involved.
Let me know what you find out.
One other thing that may be overlooked and that is some addon in the browsers. A common one since all browsers are being effected. Certain addons/plugins can conflict with that Shockwave Flash Object that is used by Flash Player. You might take a look and see if there is a common one. You can rule out Microsoft & Adobe and most of Java. Anti-Virus addons would need a close look.
Thanks,

Youtube videos do not play in Firefox. I have this error: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video," even after I have followed the link.

This error message appears when trying to view Youtube videos: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video," even though I have already installed the suggested piece of software.

You have 2 versions of "Shockwave Flash" (Adobe Flash Player) installed; one very old version (7.0 r19) and the current version (10.0 r45). You can see both "Shockwave Flash" plugins by going to Tools > Add-ons > Plugins. You can disable the old version 7 there.
<u>'''To disable the old version'''</u>:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+plugins+with+Firefox#Managing_plugins
<u>'''Remove the old plugin'''</u>
1. If the old version 7 is showing as "Adobe Flash Player 7 Plugin" in your Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, you can remove it from there; click on it, click Remove. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program
2. If the old version 7 is not shown in Add or Remove programs, see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins#Manually_uninstalling_a_plugin . Some of the old plugins are in the Plugins folder of your programs Firefox install folder and can be renamed or removed from there manually.

Provided your PSU is powerful enough to handle all that hardware, I wouldn't have thought that installing Flash on a Windows 7 x64 with an SSD drive would be a disadvantage.
Can you play the "Big Buck Bunny" Stage Video? http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
If it starts to buffer, right click the video, click Settings and in the Storage menu (folder icon), increase the amount of storage to 10MB. You may still get some initial buffering, but once the rabbit comes out of his burrow, the animation should run smoothly.

Flash player zoomed in while video streaming?

Hello,
I'm having some problems with streaming video. I'm attempting to stream online, live and each time I log-in, my video is extremely close and zoomed in. I have looked and looked online and can't seem to get it resolved. I have looked into my cam, and it definately has nothing to do with it. I have attempted to go to View> Zoom in the internet settings, also have tried going into device manager as well as right clicking on the streaming image, settings, etc. There isn't even a 'show all' button that people have talked about. Someone help?
Thanks

I haven't been using the 64-bit version since (at least back when I got my computer) Windows defaulted to the 32-bit version, and Flash itself warned against using the 64-bit version. I did upgrade my video driver, and it has only crashed once since then.
I tried that first, but since it crashed that once, I've now disabled the hardware acceleration setting, and I'll see if that helps.
My video adapter is an ATI Radeon HD 3600 Series with a version number of 8.911.0.0 dated 10/25/2011. I didn't record it before I updated, but if I recall correctly, it was dated from sometime in 2009.
Thanks for the advice!

What kind of Flash Player can i download for Firefox.? What kind of video player can I use to stream videos.

Flash player for streaming? Best video player.

Hello,
Adobe stopped supporting flash for android since ICS. You may still be able to download the latest (old) flash player "at your own risk" from Adobe archived flash player versions:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Please read the disclaimer at the end as it is not advised to install unsupported flash versions.
As for video streaming, there are lot of apps for that and it's just a matter of your preference.
Hope that helps

I have a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 13 with no restore disk; it has OS 10.8.4 I believe there is something wrong with the OS due to I can not install flash player to view Youtube videos and the when we plug in a Bose headset the sound out will work sometimes

I bough a used Macbook Pro mid 2009 that came with OS 10.8.9 it didn't have a backup restore disk with S/N W8******66D
When trying to view some youtube videos; a window would pop up saying "it needs adobe flash player is required for video play back get the latest flash player" but after downloading the file and during installation would have errors and will not installed.....tried to reboot and install again.....but still the same.
The othe thing I had noticed is when using a good Bose headset with mic the sound output would noticed the headset and then switch from headset to Internal speekers and headset.....thinking that there might be something wrong with the plug in port of the computer or the headset.....the headset works with no issues on my iPad so there must be something wrong with the computer.....tried to move the plugin around the port but no change....while the headset is plug in can hear a short clicking noise and the sound would get lost and back again......but with nothing plugin to the port there is no issue with the sound or mic.
Thanks for your feed back......it looks like I have two different issues one is a software issue and the outher is a hardware issue
<Edited By Host>

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
Many thanks,
Ian Pickering

This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

After installing Adobe Flash Player Plugin to view videos on youtube, mozilla gets hangs intermittently. Please help

I installed Firefox 23.0.1 and after that It asked me to install Flash Player Plugin to view videos on Youtbe. I installed Flash Player 11 Plugin and since then Mozilla started hanging/freezing intermittently. It hangs on those websites also where videos are not running.
I uninstalled Flash Player 11 Plugin and it works smoothly without it.
Please help

This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common reasons for Flash problems in Firefox:
(1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

How to Improve Adobe Flash Player to watch this video

When I wanted to watch Man City vs Chelsea live stream via http://footballity.blogspot.com/2013/08/man-city-live-stream-free.html , there is a message "You need to improve your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video" so anybody can help me..

Well going by your standards then the blackberry playbook is just as useless since there is no native contacts app or email app. If you want that you will also have to have a blackberry phone that is capable of tethering using the blackberry bridge app (if allowed by AT&T and Verizon since that would be another fee technically you might be charged for since you will be tethering your phone to you tablet).
Funny how I and many others are able to get by using the iPad and we don't have flash. The majority of people if the want to view flash will try Skyfire, iSwifter, Cloudbrowse, or will look to see if there is an app already dedicated to that thing you want to watch, like ABC Player or CNN.
Hey if doesn't work for you then it doesn't work for you. I am not trying to come off as an Apple fanboy, just trying to make sure you are informed about your product and what options are out there.
Would it be nice if flash was allowed native......sure. But it isn't so you can either get rid of the product, get an app that supports it (we are talking about spending $2 - $4) or go buy something else and hope your happy with it as well. You can't please everyone. Apple has chosen their stance and as you can see by sales numbers they aren't hurting. Infact i just read about a week or so ago on Gizmodo.com that alot of the other tablet making companies are cutting back on the number of units they will be making due to low sales or projected low sales (you can thank the iPad sales for that). Your one purchase isn't going to impact them that much. Instead, someone else will be standing in line behind you ready and happy to get their apple product.

What flash player can i download on my 1.9ghz powerpc g5

what flash player can i download onto my 1.9ghz power pc g5

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.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/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(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.

Issue with latest Flash Player version when replaying videos

I am using an older version of JWplayer "5.10.2295" in a lot of sites and it was working fine so far. Since the latest version of Flash Player came out the videos can't be played a second time on any browser on Windows. It is working fine for me on Mac - quickly tested in Firefox (Nightly) and Safari (latest stable).
Reverting to an older version showed that everything was working fine before. I tried the latest 13 and 14 from Archived Flash Player versions
Has this kind of issue been reported already? Any change in the upcoming beta that might fix this?
Thanks,
Albert

VLC plugs directly into pulseaudio, while the firefox flash plugin uses ALSA to play sound. Do you have the pulseaudio-alsa package installed?
I have had a similar problem before. Sound would occasionally be controlled by ALSA and occasionally be controlled by pulse (the pulseaudio-alsa package did nothing). As far as symptoms, sometimes other applications would not produce sound while a flash video was playing and vice versa. Ultimately, I just removed everything pulse/ALSA-related, deleted (and backed up) my configuration files, and installed all related packages anew. It works now. I still don't really know what the problem was.

I have the exact same problem and I am going in circles trying to install and use Flash Player. But nothing seems to work. Now I cannot watch ANY videos on Youtube, I cannot use Google Maps (Street View), Pandora Radio is kaput, and so.
I used to get the same notice:
You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
But now I don't even get that. Just a black box and nothing else. This is ridiculous.
