Flash Player is enabled, ActiveX Filtering disabled, yet Flash videos will not play in Internet Explorer 11

I have enabled Flash Player in add-ons for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 8.1. I also disabled ActiveX Filtering as instructed while trouble shooting... Yet, videos still will not play on webpages shown in Internet Explorer. How can I fix this, since I have already followed instructions from Adobe completely? Flash Player is supposedly already be installed in Internet Explorer 11, but it is NOT working.

Long story short, the video site is probably going to need to change their content before it works in IE11+.  I'd need some links to affected pages to tell you for sure (and even then, the complexity of websites these days makes debugging pretty painful). 
In the meantime, you might just want to use Chrome for the sites that otherwise don't work.

  • Flash Player Update Not Working -You Tube videos will not play!!

    I have just updated to the latest ver
    sion of Flash Player (10.2.152.32) and now You Tube will not play videos - I get sound only.  I am using IE8 and Windows XP SP3
    Shockwave Flas Object is showing as installed and enabled.
    What is wrong?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled and all messages show installtion as complete but still no You Tube video although when I have click Adobe test aniamtion links these work OK

    Hi, There is new Technology with the latest Flash Player version that you may need to adjust a Setting.
    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.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you may need to update your Video card Driver.
    Now one thing I'd like to mention is that the Adobe Flash Player Team are wanting to document issues with the latest Flash Player version and issues such as you and others are having. If you would like to give them feedback directly, it would be appreciated as they are trying to duplicate these in house. The link to that is:

  • Help Flash player will not run in Internet Explorer 11?

    I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player and it will not run in Internet Explorer 11.  I have done the things suggested in the help/forum section. What else can I try?

    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Video will not play, yet audio does.

    Like the header says, all of a sudden I go to work on a project I've never had trouble with and the video will not play; it is frozen wherever the cursor is. Yet the audio does play. I've tried clearing cache, clearing premiere cache, gone all over the internet to try and find an answer, of course India is closed right now, so no help there, not that they really give it anyway. So I'm asking if anyone might have experienced this one and figured it out despite Adobe. I'm on a PC with Windows 8 and terabytes and terabytes of storage; plenty of space left on disc, too. As I said; this has never been even a hint of a problem Just started up today. This even beats most Adobe "beta testing" problems they heap on us unsuspecting sheep. So I'm completely flummoxed. A prize to whoever knows what's up with this! It's a new one on me... Thanks in advance to whichever genius knows the answer! :-)

    OK, I found the answer by myself and wish to share it with those having the same issue. It turns out that the saved workspace can corrupt allowing audio to play, while video remains frozen. The fix is to change the workspace. Go to WINDOW, after creating a new style workspace and save the new workspace. Problem fixed. Also, if there are already a number of other saved workspaces that involve video you can simply change to that one and it will be fixed. Delete the corrupt workspace. That's it! This was discovered through a simple process of elimination which proves that bugs really can surface anywhere for no intuitive reason. Hope this helps you!

  • Converted songs from Windows Media Player to itunes show up in the library but will not play

    I just installed itunes for the purpose of converting my Windows Media Player library to itunes.  I went through the install and added the music folder.  itunes went through the conversion process overnight and all of my songs appear in the music library.  However some songs will play properly and if you open them in windows explorer they are in a folder called my music/downloads and are mpeg files.  Other songs that are listed in the music library and appear to have been converted will not play.  When you click on these songs that won't play it appears to be playing in the progress bar on top, but no sound comes out and the EQ visualizer shows nothing.  When you open these songs in Windows explorer they are located in a folder: my music\i tunes\itunes media\music and they are a .AAC audio file type. What went wromg in this conversion process? Why is itunes putting these files in two different locations?  Why will these files not fully convert and play?

    This is also what I suspected but why would the songs go through conversion, show up in the library, and then not play?  Apple support even says "itunes for Windows cannot import or play WMA files that are protectd."  Yet the imported song is sitting in the library and when you play it the song is listed and the diamond advances - but no sound.
    Also, any tips on how to see if a WMA file is protected by DRM?
    Thank you for your response.

  • Flash Video will not play anywhere.

    In my hunt to solve this problem, I've come across a lot of
    posts where people have embedded FLV files in HTML documents and
    can play them fine on their local computer. But once posted to a
    server, they will not play.
    Well, my problem is similar except it won't play on my local
    computer either. I'm using Dreamwever 8 and Sorenson Squeeze 3.1 to
    compress my flash video. I have followed the steps outlined in this
    tutorial,
    and the end result just displays a white box where my video should
    be. You can view my test
    here.
    The thing is, the tutorial's flash video works perfectly when
    tested locally and on a remote server. And since all my code is the
    same as the tutorial (and all the .swf and .js files were created
    normally), this leads me to believe it has something to with my
    .flv file. I have tried several configurations and compression
    settings in Squeeze, but still nothing.
    The FLV also works fine when linked into a SWF file using the
    Media Component as you can see
    here.
    So is Sorenson Squeeze 3.1 out of date? Is there something in
    the way it encodes the flash video that prevents it from being
    played this way? Or is there some other (preferably inexpensive)
    solution?

    I should have mentioned that I'm working on a mac, so an
    encoder that would work on OSX would be prefered. Also, i tryed
    that Riva program on a PC and it crashed on the first try and on
    the second, it gave a warning that my source file would not work.
    For now, I've worked around the problem by using Flash 8 and
    embedding the .swf that links to the .flv file. But it would have
    been nice to get dreamweaver's FLV player to work and bypass Flash
    all together.

  • Videos will not play when Adobe Flash is installed

    I have always used Adobe Flash, and never had a problem with it.  When I installed the lastest release several months ago, I discovered that videos would not play at all. It's not just You Tube either; it's whatever site I visit. Six months of dealing with that was too much, so I uninstalled it, went online to look for an alternative, and guess what? The videos play just fine at MOST sites.  Others say that I need to install Flash Player.
    This is confusing, especially since I have no idea as to why this is happening. At the moment I do not have Flash installed, but I do need to resolve this. Any help would be appreciated, as far as ideas, recommendations etc. Thank you.

    YouTube is almost finished with the transition to HTML5 (MP4). The reason thay've done this is to be accessible to phone and tablet viewers who can't use Flash. Javascript in their pages determines if a browser has Flash Player, and if it doesn't, the page will display video in HTML5. THAT's why you see what you do there. NOT ALL websites have done this though. Yahoo is working on it, as are Hulu, Dailymotion and others. NetFlix has switched to SilverLight for playback which causes its own problems if you don't have THAT installed.
    Add to this mix, Microsoft released (without any "real world" testing) IE 11 almost two months ago (October 18) and it's been a nightmare to say the least. Pages/Sites don't recognize it because they screwed up some code in it, and... if a page or site can't recognize the browser, it certainly won't recognize any plug-ins it uses. Not a problem for HTML5 video which doesn't require the Player, but Facebook games, Pogo, and many other Flash sites DO require a browser and plug-in that the code recognizes.
    Is IE11 your browser by chance?

  • Streaming flash video will not play automatically. Must move the mouse off the link

    I have 4 computers, all running Win7. On every one, Internet explorer. 2 have firefox 3. 2 have firefox 4. When clicking a link on a website that has live streaming video (flash) - the stream changes to the next one and the video feed begins right away. Works fine on all 4 computers in IE, and in both Firefox 3. The video starts when the mouse is clicked, or when the screen is refreshed. On both computers with firefox4 - the mouse click loads the new feed, but the video hangs on a white screen until the mouse pointer moves. same problem when the feeds are set to auto-rotate. they load every 30 seconds, but unless I physically move the mouse, no video plays (or click the 'next feed' button again, which gives a split-second peek at the video feed I am navigating away from), I need to monitor many security cameras, and this is excruciating. Safe mode does not help. I have the newest versions of everything. please tell me this is a bug and not someone's bright idea

  • I recently upgraded to Flash Player 11.4x and now videos will not play in Yahoo.

    I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and Internet Explorer 8 on an x86 pc.  Everything worked just fine until the upgrade.  Also Hulu.com free version videos don't work properly in full screen mode.  Not sure whether that is related.

    (Edited)
    Hi, Jeromie, (and all the other viewers who seem to find this thread interesting)
    Let me give you my latest observations:
    Until today, I had not even heard of a reference to 'HTML5' videos.  (I now realize that HTML videos have been around for quite a while, I'm just not a video junkie.)  And interestingly, until today, whenever I got a blank video screen on Yahoo News or others, it would only tell me to update to the latest Flash Player and suggested nothing else.
    Well, I had already upgraded to the latest version Flash Player mentioned above, but my system does not seem to recognize that fact.  Perhaps it did not load properly.  I have tried 4 times without (apparent) success.
    Now also, the blank video screens mention updating to a 'HTML5 browser'.  I have Internet Explorer 8, not 9 or above, so I opted to install Google Chrome Frame per the article (which also indicates that this is a trial situation).  I rebooted and retried, but that did not work either.
    I have not yet uninstalled Flash Player to rule it out as causing the HTML5 problem.
    I also did not disable Hardware Acceleration in Flash per the article because nothing showed up in the box to click on.  Blank box, no icon.
    I had previously tried to download an archived Flash .zip file to my desktop but could not get it to unzip and install properly (I have done this many times before on other files), so I gave up.
    And, lastly, just what exactly do you mean about 'browser updates'?  Are you refering to a 'version' of Internet Explorer 8 or to other software updates?
    Sorry about that,
    VernonDale
