Flash player crashing in all browsers for live video

The Flash video player is crashing all browsers when I try to watch live video (specifically, live feeds out of Egypt, notably Al Jazeera's live feed).
I'm on a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.6, using Safari, Firefox and Chrome browsers. In Chrome, I can hear audio for about 60 seconds - no video - and then it crashes. Safari & Firefox crash almost immediately. They all give me various messages about Flash crashing the browser.
I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player, then re-installed it, rebooted my laptop, etc. I checked all the player settings, and they're apparently set as they should be.
Any ideas?

The same thing is happening to me in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I cleared my cache, deleted my flash cookies, and reinstalled Flash. None of those worked to bring it back. It was working on a PC running XP yesterday.

Mac OS X - Flash Player crashes in all browsers for site (bug?)

Hello,
I just received a complaint by one of my clients that customers were no longer able to visit his site (using a Mac), as the flash player was crashing everytime the site was loaded, no matter what browser was used. I started investigating this using the latest flash-player installed (v11.1.102.64) and it seems that their is a new restriction present, a flash-movie can not be higher then +/- 4090pixels (I've been testing this while updating the code) on a Mac. When I visit the same site on Windows (flash player v11.1.102.64) it never crashes and shows the full height of the site 5276px, no matter what browser I use.
I believe this must be some bug, as the browsers I tested are the same and I can't remember havind this problem with previous versions of flash (as I would have noticed this). Could someone confirm me if this could be a bug, and it should actually be submitted somehow? Or am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'd like to investigate this for you. Do you have a URL I can try this out on?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Player crashes in all browsers

I have IE 8, Firefox 3.6 and Chrome 6.0 on my laptop. I have the latest version of Flash on all three. All of of a sudden, the Flash Player plugin will crash and the browser will lock up any time I open a page that uses Flash. What could be doing this?

Here are the files in the Flash folder:
Flash Player Trust
Flash10k.ocx
FlashInstall
flashplayer.xpt
FlashUtil10k_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10k_ActiveX
NPSWF32.dll
Version is 10.1.85.3

Hi, thanks. I think we need to take a look at the Flash files.
Go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back all files listed. You will need to right click on the NPSWF files and then click on Properties to obtain the version numbers.

Adobe Flash Player crashes in all browsers

Hi,
I have had issues with playing videos before. They would constantly freeze (while the sound continued), it was like I was watching stop motion videos all the time. This was a recent problem that started happening within the last month or so. I got really fed up with it so I looked for a fix for it on google. The result of that search was: I was told the videos might be freezing so often because of the fact that I had two adobe flash players in operation on google chrome. I was told I had to try turning one off in order to get the player to work properly. I turned off one then the other and then both to no avail.
BUT
then the flash player refused to work on ANY video. I figured it might just be Chrome but it happened in Firefox too. (I'm afraid to update internet explorer because I don't want it to not work there). I keep getting the "shockwave player crashed" error message in Chrome and the equivalent in Firefox. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling adobe but that did nothing.
My operating system is Windows Vista 32bit, I used both Firefox and Chrome web browsers both with the latest versions, I have the latest version of the adobe flash player.
At this point in time I can't get any site that runs on Adobe flash player to work and no videos that run on adobe flash player work. My problem is officially a whole lot worse.
HELP!!!!!!!!

I'm having the exact same problem.
Until today, I haven't had any problems with flash, and then, this morning, I turned on my computer, went to youtube.com and the page almost immediately froze. A message popped up saying that flash had become unresponsive and asked if I wanted to close it.
It does this on any website that tries to load flash content. I've tried both Chrome and IE. I'm running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit on a Compaq Presario CQ5300Y PC.
Everything is completely up to date.
UPDATE:
Last night I ran a virus scan. 3 viruses were found so I quarantined them. I turned off my computer for a couple of minutes and when I turned it back on, everything had been fixed. Not only is flash working again, a problem I was having with Skype is also fixed. So if anyone else is having this problem you might want to do a virus scan.

Flash Player Crashing in ALL Browsers

Flash plugin crashing on Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. This has been happening for months now. It's been fixed a few times, but it keeps happening again. Unable to watch YouTube videos on all broswers.
I have a PC (laptop) with Windows 7 (64-bit, I think). On Chrome I have version 10,2,154,18 installed. On Firefox: version 10,2,152,32 installed. On Internet Explorer: version 10,2,152,32 installed.
I work from home, so it's imperative that I not have this problem. Especially since it often interferes with Google Talk/Gmail Chat.
Thank you!

Hi, Since it's happening on all browsers, then there must be a common conflict. Have you tried turning off the hardware acceleration? go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,
then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.
If that doesn't solve it, you may need to update your video card driver also.
At that same site linked to above, can you see the Flash logo animation? With all browsers?
Thanks,

Flash player crashing on all browsers

I have uninstalled and re installed flash player and this issue is still there. I can watch Youtube videos fine with no issue. But when I try to stream a movie or tv show from another site outside of youtube, it plays the video for a couple minutes and then crashes. Has been happening for a while now and can't find any way to fix it. If someone can help with a solution, thank you.

Flash Player Crashes In All Web Browsers

Dear Adobe,
For months now when ever I visit a site that uses flash, wever it be in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Firefox. Within about 5 minutes the page I am on will crash and report to me that, the flash plugin / player has crashed. It does this without fail, every time I go online. I mostly play zynga games on facebook. I also use fullscreen whenever possible, and always using the latest version of flash thanks to the cool flash updater.
I have just today checked and updated to the latest nvidia graphics drivers with a clean installation.
I followed advice about disabling hardware acceleration and going through the steps for uninstalling Flash, and emptying the folders associated with it. Sadly though the problem still remains.
I would love for this long time problem to be resolved!
My system is Windows 7 64-Bit, with an Nvidia Geforce 7600gs.
Please find dxdiag results.

Hi Mikey - Sorry you're running into these crashes. It's odd that this is occurring with all browsers and Flash content. There must be something specific about your system that is causing this to happen. We'd like to investigate further. Would you be willing to create a new bug report and attach both your dxdiag report and any crash dumps that you can generate? Please see this FAQ for additional details and steps.
How do I report a Flash Player crash to Adobe?

Flash Player Crashs on every Browsers

Hi,
I don't speak english very well, but I'm having a very bad problem with Adobe Flash Player.
Everytime I try tu run a Youtube video or for example Facebook discussions, the browser crashs and I need to restart
several time until it probably works...
Here is my configuration:
Alienware M15X
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q740 @ 1.73 GHZ
RAM: 4.00 Go
Windows Seven 64 bit
So if someone can help me?
Robmot
(Don't need the link to check if Flash player is set up, juste a solution... Please!)

Hi, You may want to go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,
then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.
Then make sure that in IE you have the Security Setting for the Internet Zone set to Medium.
Hope that helps,

Adobe Flash keeps crashing on ALL browsers on MAC

Adobe Flash has been killing me the past couple months. First I used google chrome and sometimes I would get an adobe flash crash, but as time went my adobe flash kept on crashing in which would slow down my computer to such a level I couldn't type anything on my computer for a solid 15 seconds to wait for my computer to respond, It was eating out my memory. I followed this by making sure there wasn't 2 flash players playing together in chrome, I looked up about:plugins on chrome to make sure. Everything was normal, and I still received crashes making my browsing experience terrible.
So I decide to use Firefox after hearing about how unstable chrome is, and I still receive the same flash player errors every time I use firefox.
Help.

Flash Player errors on all browsers

Hi,
I've been getting various errors when trying to use flash player.
What I'm using:
Windows 8.1 (fresh install as of 8/4/14)
Toshiba Satellite 15634 TouchScreen Laptop
IE 11 -- newest
Firefox -- newest
Chrome -- newest
Opera -- newest
Flash Player -- newest
What I can do:
Use Flash Player for most applications. Youtube, facebook, Netflix and other video players are fine.
What I can't do:
Access certain video players. That is HBO Go, Google Play, etc. This is on every browser I have installed -- IE, Firefox, and Chrome/Opera -- but I get different errors depending on the player I'm trying to use and the browser I'm accessing it through.
Errors:
HBO Go -- HBO GO cannot play this show at this time. Please try again later. [Code D-1007]
HBO Go w/ Chrome -- This video cannot be played with the current settings of your Chrome browser. To play this video, you need to update your Chrome settings as shown here: http://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-access/kb/error-3321.html [Code D-1001]
Followed those instructions, still get the error.
Google Play -- There is a problem with your Flash player. Click here, select "Reset License Files", and restart your browser.
Followed those instructions, still get the error.
Google Play w/ Chrome -- This is the weird one. When I first tried it, it popped with a generic error saying the 'video cannot be played at this time, please try again later.' I spoke with Google Customer Support and after a lot of wrangling and generally not understanding what the problem was, he gives me a link to youtube where I can watch my Google Play purchases. For every other browser I got the same errors as usual, but it miraculously worked on Chrome. AFTER watching that video from the youtube page, I can now access it just fine from the Google Play site, albeit in Chrome only.
Any ideas what's going on?

Sweet, that's great to hear.
I googled for that error message, and what I gleaned based on reading a bunch of the threads was that it wasn't directly related to the DRM vouchers, but to a Local Shared Object (aka Flash Cookie) that was probably maintaining your login session. My guess is that the content providers had to restart their Flash Media Servers, and the LSOs associated with the content provider then referred to a session that no longer existed or something. Blowing away the LSOs seems to fix it. Given that blowing away the LSOs does resolve this problem, logging out of the content provider's service completely and then logging back in would probably get you a new session token, which would most likely also resolve instances of this error message.

Flash 11 crashes in all browsers

I've seen this question and ones similar to it posted several times with no clear answer or even an acknowledgement of what appears to be a series of bugs with Flash 11.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 32 bit, service pack 1. The Flash 11 plugin crashes in IE 8 (I never use this browser, but I verified the bug exists there as well), Chrome 16.0.912.63 m, and Firefox 9.0.1. Uninstalling and reinstalling made no difference.
After the install, when the Adobe Flash page loads it says that install is complete, but there is a long pause and eventually the portion of the page that should show the Flash content shows the plugin crash message, prompts to send a bug report (which I have done several times), and asks to reload the page - which only causes a repeated failure.
How do I get Flash to work again on my computer? This started back in November. I've been expecting to see some concrete information on a fix, but have not.

You don't mention whether you disabled your AV file scanner or other shields before installing.
That being the case, please follow my instructions in this post to uninstall/reinstall it again in order to eliminate a security app interfering with the installation: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4081633#4081633

Adobe Flash player crashes constantly

Adobe Flash player crashes in all browsers. I have tried disabling hardware acceleration, expanding memory storage, downloading older versions etc, etc. I have tried IE10, Firefox 17, Chrome, Avant, and Safari, all with the same issues. I am running an I3 processor at 2.93ghz on an ASUS motherboard, 16gig of RAM, 2gig NVidia graphics card. Any ideas?
Sorry should add that I'm running Windows 8 Pro

Usually a complete fresh install resolves this.
Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save Link as"
Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER to remove all instances of Flash Player.
Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
Lastly, run the Installer for other browsers.
Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
Download BOTH files, the one on the right FIRST by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"... the other by clicking and following the steps to dwonload the ActiveX installer.

Adobe Flash Player Plugin crashes in ALL browsers while accessing webcam

Hi,
I am struggling to get my adobe flash player plug-in working while accessing webcam.
It simply crashes in all browsers. I googled this issue and realized many users are facing this issue.
However I did not get any solution to fix this. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling plug-in multiple times but of no use.
Following are specifications:
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (32 Bit) SP3
Browsers: Internet Explorer (8.0), Chrome (8.0), Mozilla Firefix (3.0)
Webcam: Dell monitor inbuilt webcam
Flash Player version: 10,1,102,64
Please note, the webcam is accessible through other applications (e.g. Yahoo! Messenger, Skype, Windows Explorer)
Also, Adobe Flash player doesn’t give any trouble while playing streaming videos on YouTube etc.
Trouble is only when flash player tries to access webcam through any browser (eg. while "Record from Webcam" on YouTube)
An interesting observation I like to note here, the device list that appears in the plug-in window is blank for both video/audio devices (See the area encircled RED in the image below)
Not sure, but just suspecting could this be potential reason for crash?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Struggler

Hello all,
My doubt was correct. It was all due to the blank device list. After lot of struggle I found this solution worked for me:
1. As soon as the plug-in tries to access webcam, it will show you "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
2. Click Deny then Close to close it
3. Now press tab key on keyboard. It will highlight (in yellow) and show list of devices in video device dropdown control (This could be little bit tricky and you need to put little bit more efforts to see the list). You can now select your webcam as device here.
4. Press Tab key again to go audio dropdown and select audio device.
5. Then right click and bring up "Adobe Flash Player Settings" again.
6. Under Microphone and Camera tabs, make sure we select same devices we selected in 3 & 4 above
7. Come back to privacy tab and this time chose "Allow" and then close "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
8. You should now see the camera images in the plug-in
Conclusion: This is a workaround worked for me. Plug-in is quite unstable and there is definitely something here Adobe Flash Player plug-in developers need to do about.
Hope this workaround helps many other users.
Thanks,
Struggler

Flash Player 11.6.r602 crashes in all browsers

Running on windows vista box. In all browsers I repeatedly get Flash Player crash messages, appently caused by the Data Protection Execution Protection service closing it.
I've tried turning off DEP for flash and Windows won't let me.

Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply.....
When dealing with such a large problem with frequent FF lockups the temptation is to lump all information in an attempt to solve. LOL
Chasing multiple threads to help solve the problem may be helpful to the developers but it takes far too much time following and posting in each thread. As you can see it's taken a couple of days to get back to this post.
First thing we did is dump cache and cookies both through the interface and then manually in the profile. We changed the version of Flash installed manually and even changed the version of FF. There are many "flash" enabled pages we encountered which caused the lockup.....so MSN is not specifically the issue.
But when Flash is removed or disabled the browser no longer locks up.....suffice to say we get an error when visiting a website with flash content on it.
That is why I chose to post here as the problem is directly attributable to Flash in FF on all of our machines.
