Flash player controls (for live streaming video) frozen...

Hello,
Lion, Flash Player, and CNN's live-video player are not playing together nicely on our 2010 MBP 13". In fact, they're not playing.
Have tried the latest suggested fix, which is to right click on the errant video stream, then disable hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, right clicking brings up a "frozen" settings box. None of the buttons can be clicked, not even cancel.
Have accessed Flash Player through the Control Panel, but there is no switch there for hardware acceleration.
Bottom line, am now unable to view live video content from CNN and others.
Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash. Have tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome. And am not a step closer to a solution. Was hopeful that today's install of Lion would set things right, but alas...
Your suggestions greatly appreciated.

About a half-hour after making the changes I outlined above, and long after I closed the active Safari window, noticed that my MBP was uncharacteristically hot. Extremely hot!
Opened Activity Monitor and saw that Flash Player was still running (?) and using a tremendous amount of system resources. I then quit Safari altogether. Within moments, the heat began to subside.
May be something you want to keep an eye on...

  • Creating a custom player for live streaming video

    I have live streaming video set up where I use the Flash Media Encoder to send the live stream to a Flash Media Server. Then, the Flash Media server packages this stream, and sends it to whatever websites requests it via the url. I know how to create a Flash move or even asc file, and then have Flash generate the html for that saved movie so that I can embed it in a web page and play it. But in the case of live streaming video, there is no pre made asc file or movie to reference. So I need some help about what I need to do to play live streaming video in a flash player embedded in a webpage, that will also have some custom action script for controlling playback and other things.

  • Flash Media Player which handles bitrate switching for live streams?

    Hello.  I've got a very short timescale to find a solution for a way to display livestreams with bitrate switching. Does anyone
    know of any opensource players which can do this effectively?  Or do the inbuilt components in CS4 deal with this ok?

    Thanks,I have read that article.  Based on that article the NetStreamInfo.maxBytesPerSecond is not an accurate measurement to base dynamic switching on. This seems to be the basis of the bitrate switching in both the longtail player, and the adobe examples that I have tried.   That article suggests using the dropped frames property, in conjunciton with bufferlength to determine if switching is neccessary.  Unfortunately I can't seem to find a player online which handles this successfully.  That being said, I can't believe I'm the only person trying to implement dynamic bitrate switching for live streams so surely there are some players out there which can do this successfully?  If anyone knows of any code available which does this successfully I would appreciate knowing where!  The examples provided by Adobe https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fms35 unfortunately don't work either.

  • Flash player worked for months but now I have audio but no video / Windows 8 / Help

    Flash player worked for months.  But today suddenly the video part stopped working.  So I have audio and a blank screen.  This is across all applications: youtube, live streaming, etc.

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating system
    Browser
    Flash Player version - http://adobe.ly/wNzNAu
    Web Page URL
    Steps to reproduce
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows - http://adobe.ly/KShBWi
    Mac - http://adobe.ly/16Odlzb
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

  • Sound works at 2 locations for a live-streaming video but not on the third.

    I am trying to watch live streaming video from a trial.  Three television stations offer this video.  I am able to see two of the stations, but there is no sound on the third.  Since I am not always available to watch, I would like to watch the replays in the evening.  These are only offered by one station--of course the one where I can't get the sound.  I am able to watch the news videos from this station but not the trial ones.  Is this a problem with the station or is it mine?  I should add that I have tried in several browsers with the same result.
    Sound and video work fine on everything else.

    That's odd.  It sounds like a problem with the stream but I tried that link out and the sound worked fine for both the commercial and the trial.  I did notice that the trial's volume was low for the first 5 - 10 seconds, but I could clearly hear the proceedings once they started.
    What browser / OS / version of Flash Player are you using?

  • Live Streaming video and Flex2(3?) + Flash Media Server?

    I've seen alot of topic on how to create video sites for
    clips, etc. with Flex and Flash Media Server, but how about live
    streaming video, like a concert or a seminar. I can't find any
    information on this at all, could anyone point me in the right
    direction?

    What you need is grab video/sound form camera/mic, publish it
    on FMS and let the other clients play it. In a few steps:
    // get camera and mic
    var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera(); // get default camera
    var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone(); // get
    default mic
    // if you have VideoDisplay, for monitoring
    videoDisplay.attachCamera(cam);
    // create new RTMP connection to FMS/your app
    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    // new stream should be create *after* nc has connected, not
    before
    // so this is executed after the below nc.connect() succeeds
    nc.attachEventListener(Event.CONNECT, function(){
    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream();
    ns.attachCamera(cam);
    ns.attachMicrophone(mic);
    ns.publish("streamname", "live"); // or "record" if you want
    to live+rec
    // connect to default instance of app 'appname' on your FMS
    nc.connect("rtmp://fms.ip.address/appname");
    If you're using Flex2 and FMS2 (the latest FMS is 3), you
    might need to
    cuange the connection encoding to AMF0 (which is what FMS2
    uses) in order for this to work.
    Hope this helps; I've written it from my head so it probably
    has mistakes, but it's the general workflow; the docs in the
    language reference for specific functions mentioned here will also
    help.

  • Live Streaming Video Playback on CBC - Flash Jitter Bug

    Not sure how many of you are trying to watch the playoffs on CBC on your playbook, but I have a problem with jitter during playback, but only with live streaming video. This is not a connection issue. Apparently it's a b-frame issue where the frames are played out of order, and an adobe flash bug. It appears exactly the same as this example:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh_8EPfbpZ
    Very hard to watch, and extremely frustrating. Does everyone experience this with the CBC site? Is this a playbook issue, or just something with my unit? Any suggestions for resolution?
    Go Canucks Go!

    The more serious problem is that TSN is carrying tonight's Canucks game... and they seem to be stuck in 1995 and are not streaming the game. Ugh! 

  • Need license for using H.264 Video codec for live stream with FMS 3.5 series

    Hi,
        I am creating a live audio-Video chat application  in which I use H264 video codec for live streaming.  I am using Flash Media Server version 3.5.7. I read some where that H.264 Video streaming using FMS required seperate licencse. So I want to confirm , It is true that H264 video streaming required seperate license? If yes then what is the procedure to get license.
    Please let me know its urgent.
    Regrads,

    Hi Again,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Here are some articles/posts which says about Royalties to use h264:

    http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/avc/Documents/AVC_TermsSummary.pdf
    According to these, any  product/service provider, need to pay one time fee based on # of subscribers if we are using h264 for encoding and is charging fee from its users.
    About our business: We are web-conferencing solution tool provider and are using Flash Media Server version 3.5.7. I for audio/video. Please help me out if h264 is really free for us or we need to buy license to use that.
    Looking forward to hear from you soon.

  • Multiple Live Streaming Video in flash?

    Hello Everyone,
    I have this project in mind which I want to create a video
    montage of different live streaming videos from a few different
    users with their webcam in different locations. There will be the
    website which the participants will be able to view the live video
    montage in real time. However, I am unsure of where to start with
    (live video & server). Therefore I will be really thrilled if
    someone knows an example similar to this or someone who can offer
    me a lead in this topic!!
    I have knowledge in flash and abit of actionscripting.
    Much THANKS!!
    jen

    The 2-way video chat module example in the sample chapter
    from "Learning Flash Media Server 3" should give you some ideas.
    Obviously, you only want the 1-way (user to server) part of
    that, as you'll be displaying the video montage I guess in a web
    page as a set of regular flash streams.
    Main page
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/ora_learning_fms3.html
    Sample chapter (PDF) :
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/ora_learning_fms3/learning_fms3_ch05 .pdf
    It looks to be an O'Reilly book, so you may be able to get
    the whole thing online, or get it delivered from O'Reilly or Amazon
    in a few days.

  • Live stream video bad for computer?

    anybody knows if its a problem for the computer to be watching live stream video for a long time?
    it does seem to get very hot.

    I've been watching live streaming almost every night since the middle of April. Only recently have I noticed that sometimes the mbp does get hot. I notice the tendency to get hot is if I have other websites on my browser besides the one for the live streaming.
    Sometimes if I can watch the live stream via QuickTime (similar to windows media link) that helps a great deal, and does not run hot, and the stream is better.
