Flash player drops frames with playing live h264 frames

Hi
i have been tryin to get to a adobe representative for a long time now regarding this but unfortunately no one responds fast enough. I am facing a terrible issue. When broadcasting h264 live video from a flash based encoder client i notice severe frame drops on the playback end no matter what player i use. It even happens if i use fms development server on my own system. Video becomes smooth if i add a 1 sec buffer to the player. but then the video is no longer live.
So my question is , is theer somethign wrong with h264 encoding in flash player or thats the way it is suppose to be ? at zero buffer frame drops are severe. Sample config :
320 x 240 @ 24 fps @ 90000 bps @ 100 KFI @ 3.1 level @ baseline profile.
I sincerely some one at adobe to respond. There are many stranded questions on this topic on the forum and on the web already.

The CPU usage is 2-6% on the i7 920 vista 64bit computer. The audio doesn't seem to be dropping. Some more clues that might help you help me
- The quality of the video doesn't matter, 360p drops frames just as often as 720p or 1080p.
- The dropped frames still occur even when the video is completely downloaded and replayed without any buffering needed.
One thing that does fix the dropped frames is completely disabling my sound card in the windows playback sound options. This also fixes the second computer's dropped frames which only has onboard realtek audio. I have tried using a Creative PCI sound card and the built in realtek sound but they both behave the same. The latest drivers were installed for both.

Details of Flash player dropping frames

Hello,
I'm referring to something like Youtube, where the player has already buffered a number of seconds,
yet frames are still dropped, resulting in a kind of jerkiness to the video.
It happens whether low res SD, or high res HD is played - no difference.
It happens whether acceleration is on or off - no difference.
it happens even though Computer resources are in the low range, as verified
by Task Manager.
I read somewhere that the Flash Player may be programmed to drop frames
if it detects it's falling behind the audio. Can this be confirmed?
If it is true, why is it falling behind?
Do you really need a super computer to play 480p video at 30 fps?
I played a 7 minutes 854x480 (16/9 aspect ratio) and I got roughly
200 frames dropped (as shown by Youtube's "stats for nerds").
That's approx. 1 1/2 %.
Thanks for any enlightenment.
Dave

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
Specific   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
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.

Non-HTML5 video

Flash player dropping frames.

Flash player has been dropping frames while watching youtube on two vista computers that I own, one 32 bit and the other 64 bit. Every few seconds the video drops a frame or two which is very annoying. As a troubleshooting step I dual booted windows 8 64bit and it plays youtube videos perfectly without dropped frames. I own an older dell that runs windows XP and it doesn't drop frames so I'm guessing this might be a flash + vista problem.
> No frames are dropped when using the youtube HTML5 player on the vista computers.
> Uninstalled and reinstalling flash doesn't fix the dropped frames.
> Dropped frames occur in IE, Firefox and Chrome. IE and Firefox were both tested in Windows 8 and neither dropped frames.
Please help me fix this problem.

Issue with Youtube and Flash Player, videos don't play after a while

When I go to Youtube I can watch videos, but after I've player 5 or 6, when I select the next one, I get a snowy screen with a message "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback. Get the latest Flash Player". Issues is I already have the latest Flash Player, and it was playing fine just a minute ago. But from then on I cannot play more videos until I restart the computer. I'm tired of reinstalling Flash every day.
Win 7 64 bits, IE 9 and Firefox (happens with both)
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Apparently the browser at first recognizes that Flash is installed, but then it doesn't find it anymore. Not sure how that happens.

strangest thing... a few 'non-youtube' sites still work ok, but still complain 'no javascript' ..
so went to firefox (v17.0.4 ESR) 'tools, options, content' and yup, javascript UNTICKED!! :O :O my bad memory? something else??? {shrugs}
ticked it, now ok........ think im getting old?????? ROFL..

Can the Flash Player do frame accurate seeking when using the HDS protocol?

Hi all,
... and thanks in advance for taking the time to respond. I've been playing with different media serving protocols, and I have a couple of questions.
1. Can the Flash Player do frame accurate seeking when media is served via the HDS protocol? (I know it works using RTMP)
2. If it does work, is it impacted in any way if I also use Access DRM-Core or Access DRM-Professional? (I want stronger DRM protection than simple Access Protected Streaming)
Thanks!

Hello Simona_83. Try downloading Google Chrome (it's free). Install Flash Player via Chrome, and use Chrome as your browser. This is the only thing that worked for me after over a month of trying everything under the sun to get Flash Player working again. You'll have to use Chrome as your browser in order to have Flash Player capability, but so what. It works. If it works for you as it works for me, you will have Youtube again; you just have to access Youtube via Chrome. Don't waste hours of your life trying to get Flash Player to work any other way. Believe me, I wasted hours upon hours off and on over the course of a month trying to get Flash Player installed and operating.

You'll probably need to add Facebook to compatibility mode:

Does Flash Player only work with web content?

Thought I'd better start a new thread on this, as my previous
question has shifted emphasis.
Does the free Flash Player download only provide Flash
capability within the web browser? Or can it play local SWFs? If
not, do I need the whole Flash product to just play?

> Does the free Flash Player download only provide Flash

> web browser? Or can it play local SWFs? If not, do I

> product to just play?
yes, yes, and no
YES: The player you download is the activex control and
Netscape plug-in
that browsers use .. not a separate program. So yes it is
effectively for
use in the browser only.
YES: You can fire local SWFs using it by opening them within
your browser.
It is only for web content.
NO: You do not need a stand-alone flash player (that comes
with the Flash
product) to view SWF content (local or on the web)

Is Flash Player fully compatible with Windows 7?

Is the latest version of Flash Player fully compatible with the 32bit release version of Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8?
I am asking this because since I reinstalled Windows 7 32bit and Flash Player I am experiencing problems with Flash.
My action centre informs me that I have a problem with Flash Player and I should go to Adobe's website and address the problem.
I have uninstalled Flash and reinstalled Flash as Microsoft and Adobe advise, several times but I still get problems.
I uninstalled the 64bit version of Windows 7 because Flash was causing too many problems.
Since reinstalling the 32bit version I have had several reports of Flash Player not working properly, Skype reporting problems and IE8
using compatibility view when I view some web-pages with Flash in them.
When attempting to view Netto's webpages Flash fails to work and I am told to download the latest version of Flash again.
I do not remember this problem occuring with either previous versions of Flash or with Windows 7 RC.
Is anyone else using the Professional version of Windows 7 32bit experiencing the same or similar problems?

OK,
Windows 7 Professional 32bit system,
IE 8.0.7600.16385,
Flash 10.0.32.18,
In Control Panel - Programs & Features
Adobe Flash Player 10 active X

Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5

Why does flash player not work with facebook?

Why does flash player not work with fcebook? Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.

This means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player. Even with the hint I'm not getting it and also tried uninstall and the same thing occurred.

It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

In general, when desktop software is using Flash Player, it's because they're embedding an Internet Explorer window in the application. If you don't have Flash Player for Internet Explorer (aka. the ActiveX Flash Player) installed, then the desktop application isn't going to work.
So, fire up Internet Explorer
Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Follow the prompts, and then re-launch the application after you've completed the installation in IE. Hopefully that sorts it out for you.

I HAVE SPENT 10.5 HOURS ALL NIGHT AND INTO THE DAY ON WHAT WOULD SEEM LIKE A SIMPLE QUESTION. I HAVE SEARCHED YOUR SITE, SEAMONKEY SITE, GOOGLE, ASK, YAHOO AND SOME OTHERS I JUST CAME ACROSS. MY QUESTION IS THIS: WHAT VERSION OF ADOBE FLASH PLAYER IS COMPATIBLE WITH SEAMONKEY 2.2? I MAY BE OVER SIMPLIFYING A QUESTION THAT HAS NO ANSWER, BUT AFTER THIS LAST TIME OF ASKING, I WILL GIVE UP. I SPENT 23 YEARS TEACHING ADVANCED COLLEGE LEVEL COMPUTERS AND ESP CADD AND CAD/CAM AND NOTHING IN ALL THAT TIME WAS AS EXASPERATING AS THIS IS.

How do I allow Flash Player to communicate with Internet-enabled locations?

Ok, so I'm trying to build a website using Dreamweaver CS6 and I wish to place a flash object in the site (a .swf file).
I go through all the normal ways to do it, whether it be by manually placing it in, or using the Insert > Media > SWF.
Now the main issue with this is the expressInstall.swf script it chucks out.
Whenever I try to preview the webpage in a browser such as Firefox or Chrome, it immediatly decides to stop the flash under the pretense of it being an unsafe operation by trying to communicate with an Internet-enabled location (that location being fpdownload.macromedia.com)
Now, regardless of whether I delete ths parameter or not, the error message always appears, so I believe this is a Flash Player error. I currently have the newest version. Also something I noticed is when I publish preview my flash objects into a flash format, that they open themselves in a html browser rather than a Flash Player program.
So does anyone know how to allow Flash Player to communicate with internet-enabled locations?

Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.
Thanks,
Chris
