Flash Player not playing videos but shows it is installed

My Flash Player is not working. On the test page, I have clouds moving. The Adobe check says I have successfully installed the program. When I go to most videos/news feeds, it says I need Flash Player to play this video.

Internet Explorer 11 no doubt?

Flash Player not playing videos (Mac OSX / Chrome)

Last week Flash would display a pop-up telling me that I needed to update and would I like to use
Flash Player this time. I would choose (Run Flash Player this time).
Then updated flash to find that it now does not work at all. No videos or flash sites work.
• I have gone through the optioins in my browser as well as the Flash Player options from the application.
• I have looked through forum posts and self help via the Adobe site.
• I have contacted Adobe in an online chat, waited 20 minutes only to be
told that because I am not a paying customer they didn't care enough to help. (not a direct quote)
• I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
Clicked on ever option and restarted my computer.
So far I have found nothing that will help.
~Adobe forums, your my only hope. *holigram cuts out*

I am having trouble seeing any of the videos on Adobe. I tried viewing in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8. I followed the Adobe Flash Player Help and it didn't help. I am also using the latest version of Flash Player (11.4.402.265). Any suggestions? I would really love to watch some of the Adobe TV videos.

Flash player starts playing video but stops, audio still plays

When I watch videos on youtube the video and audio play fine for the first few seconds. Then all of a sudden the video stops playing, but the audio continues to play. I am using Firefox 3.0.10, Windows XP SP3, Intel Celeron Processor 434MHz, 256MB of Ram. This also happend with other browsers like Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. What can I do to correct this issue? Thanks in advance.

First, disable Java. It's a security risk and has nothing to do with the problem.
If you're using Safari, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If there's no change, from the Safari menu bar, select
Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins
Besides the following, what plugins are listed?

In your opinion, should I uninstall Firefox if I am installing Waterfox?
Waterfox can coexist peacefully with Waterfox. I have both installed, but never use Firefox any more.
Not only can Waterfox run in 64-bit address space, it also is better optimized during compile time than Firefox. (For obvious reasons; Firefox is compatible with many old systems, Waterfox only needs to be compatible with new 64-bit systems.)
P.S. regarding Chris' advice above; Firefox and Waterfox use the same profile, so if that is actually the problem, then it will occur in both browsers.

Why does Safari (or any other browser with up to date Flash player) not play Facebook videos?

Help with Flash Player- Not Playing

I recently went to a website where it said that i needed to
download the latest version of Flash Player. I followed the
directions and installed it, and the movie came up after
installation, but on the website it still said i needed to install
flash player again. I went through the other forum posts and tried
everything, but it still wouldn't show up. Then today i was on the
website and finally the video came up, but then when i refreshed
the page the video was gone and it again said i needed to install
the latest version of Flash Player. The video has shown up twice in
the past day, then says i need to reinstall again. I've tried
everything, but the videos just wont show up. Does anyone know how
to fix this for good?

JDB... your problems and solutions are different (and much
more complex). Read this CAREFULLY.
Printable, lovingly formatted versions of these steps, valid
as of 9/15/2007 are available. I recommend printing them and
following along with the print version:
.doc:
http://www.supportflash.com/bent/flash_player_ocx_troubleshooting.doc
.pdf:
http://www.supportflash.com/bent/flash_player_ocx_troubleshooting.pdf
The issue is this: You have multiple accounts on your XP
machine. One account plays Flash no problem, the other doesn't,
although both are Administrator accounts. Or possibly you have only
one account, and that account fails to play any Flash content. In
any case if you have ANY odd trouble with the Flash Player ActiveX
control for Windows as of September 2007, these should be your
steps. And yes, you need to do both sets of steps, in order!
The cause: This is usually caused by either or BOTH of the
following problems:
1. Leftover locked bits of an old Flash Player installation
2. Registry permission errors (aka 'ACL's)
OK so what do you do about this?
ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player bits
a. Open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
b. Download the latest FP uninstaller from
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157.
c. Run the uninstaller. If you get a notice saying you need
to reboot, then reboot.
d. Look at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
e. Does any file ending in .ocx remain? (flash.ocx,
flasha.ocs, flash9d.ocx etc...)
e1. If no, then you don't usually have any leftover locked
bits.
You're done with this part of the problem, proceed to TWO.
e2. If yes, then that remaining .ocx file may be locked.
Right click it
and select properties and look at the version tab.
What is the version number?
f. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.16.0 or earlier?
f1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
-- section "Flash Player 9.0.16.0 and earlier"
-- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
UninstFl.exe part.
Yes, you'll need to know how to use the command line to do
this. If you're not
comfortable with that then take your machine to someone who
is!
g. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.28.0 or higher?
g1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
-- section "Flash Player 9 (9.0.28.0) and later"
-- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
UninstFl.exe part.
In both the D and E sections above you'll need to use the
specific name of the control that remains
in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. So if you had a
stuck flash9b.ocx[DJM1] in the folder
and version was 9.0.28.0, your uninstall command would look
like this:
UninstFl.exe -u
c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
That said, if you have trouble running these commands it
really is necessary to find someone who knows how
to use the command line, either a friend or a local
professional. Or spend some time learning about the
command line yourself.
h. RERUN the uninstaller you downloaded earlier. This should
get rid of the remaining (now unlocked) .ocx file and fix any
registry keys associated with it.
ALL of section "ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player
bits" is important. BUT this locked bit problem only happens on
maybe one out of 50 machines. So most people with installation
problems such as this are not going to have locked bits.
AND even after reinstalling you may still have continued
problems with Flash Player not being recognized.
Then we have to move on to section two..
TWO: Registry Permission Problems
We have been working on Flash Player failures caused by
Windows System Registry issues. We have not been able to determine
what’s causing these permissions to change. But that change
prevents the successful installation of Flash Player ActiveX
control (used by IE Windows).
Registry permission problems can be resolved using a tool
called SubInACL, built by Microsoft to correct system registry
issues.
Symptoms: What to look for:
1. If you install Flash Player on IE and are unable to see
Flash content on any webpage
2. After installation C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
will have flash 9c.ocx in it but it failed to register
3. It appears that Flash Player installed correctly, but
unable to view Flash content
4. Flash Player works on other browsers, but NOT Internet
Explorer
5. If you are missing groups in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Advanced
Permissions
6. If you have run registry cleaners in the past, this may
have corrupted your system
Warning: The following solution involves the Windows System
Registry. Editing or manipulating the registry incorrectly can
result in serious system damage which may require re-installation
of the operating system. If you are not comfortable editing the
registry, then take your system to a professional. If you choose to
proceed, then it is essential that you create a complete system
backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding. Adobe
Systems cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from this
information.
1. Select Start > Run
2. Type in “regedit”
3. Right click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
4. Select Permissions
5. Select Advanced
For Vista
Compare your permissions with the ones in this screenshot.
http://www.supportflash.com/vista_key.png
For Window XP Pro or other flavors of XP
Compare your permissions with the ones in this document
“Troubleshooting system registry issues that prevent Flash
Player installation” (scroll down to the bottom of page).
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=kb400116
Notice any major differences, missing groups, incorrect
permissions?
How can you repair the System Registry, what's the fix
Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission issues
that prevent the Flash Player Installation.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=fb1634cb
NOTE: The Microsoft version of the .cmd script run by
SubInACL is not be run on any XP version other than Pro. HOWEVER,
the Adobe .cmd script in the above technote is tested safe for ALL
VERSIONS OF XP!!!
If you have a Windows System Registry permission issue that
sounds like the one described above, SubINACL may be the solution.
Please note that if you have this issue on multiple accounts on one
machine you’ll need to fix each machine individually.

DVD Player not playing video DVDs

This is a new problem on my MacBook Pro. The DVD player has played videos in the recent past with no problem. Now, when I insert a DVD, the computer attempts to read the disk (at least it sounds that way) and then ejects it. I have repaired permissions and researched on the discussion forums, even downloaded VLC to no avail. The CD player is working fine and all non-video DVDs are being read.

are these legit dvd's from the store or burnt DVD's? also try running a lens cleaner thru the system

Flash player is playing audio but no video (black screen)

I have a tablet running Android 4.04. I installed the latest flash player 11.3 from the google play store. It works fine when playing videos from the http://nieuws.vtm.be site with in the default (google) browser delivered with Android. When playing these flash-videos within the firefox beta version, only the audio works. The screen remains black.
I tried several videos and had always the same result.

In the Android Firefox Beta App I don't see any button from which I can get into the options tab. I only find a settings tab at the top right side, but this one does not show any options for enabling/disabling graphics acceleration. As extra information, the tablet I`m working on, is based on an Allwinner A10 (ARM8 1.2 Ghz + 400 Mhz Mali GPU) microprocessor.

Flash player not playing https urls (Videos)

We want to use flash player on web which we actually did it, but the problem is that it is not able to play the videos with https urls. It is doing good with http urls but not with https. Can you please guide me to make it work.
Thanks in advance,
Raju.

Kindly check it. This is rtmp (FMS) connection or process download connection.
Script
Ex:
nc.connection(null) - then this is run in http url (video/vid1.flv enough)
nc.connection("rtmp://sample/") - then this is not run in http url.

Flash Player Not Playing YouTube Videos bigger than 360p on IE10

Hi Guys
I've been playing YouTube videos on Internet Explorer 10 without a problem but today I suddenly cannot play any video higher than 360p. All I get is a black oblong box with no loading wheel or player controls. When I right click it says "movie not loaded". My Flash Player is version 11,9,900,117. I can still play 720p on Firefox or Chrome, although they do not seem as smooth as they used to (but that may just be my imagination).
Any ideas why and what I can do? All the research suggests it could be Flash Player but I appreciate this problem may not be directly Flash Player (I'm trying all the various forums to try and identify where the problem is).
Regards,
Graham

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if the videos play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open IE and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart IE.

DP-K

Flash player not playing

I cant get this flash mp3 player to play in the page when i
make the play list variable a $_GET value. If the number is hard
coded it works.
$listsql = "SELECT tracks FROM photos_playlist WHERE id = '"
. $_GET['list'] . "';";//if this is a hard coded number like 4 the
player works
$listquery = mysql_query($listsql);
$listres = mysql_fetch_assoc($listquery);
$list_songs = explode(",", $listres['tracks']);
foreach ($list_songs as $songs_id) {
$play_listsql = "SELECT * FROM photos_music WHERE song_id =
'" . $songs_id . "';";
$play_listres = mysql_query($play_listsql);
$play_list_array = mysql_fetch_array($play_listres);
$playlist[] = $play_list_array['file_name'];
$title[] = $play_list_array['song_title'];
sort($playlist);// make an alphabetical ordered list (if you
don't want an ordered list, just comment this line)
// echoing the playlist to flash
$dir = "mp3/";
$the_player = "<player showDisplay=\"yes\"
showPlaylist=\"no\" autoStart=\"yes\">\n";
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($playlist); $i++) {
$the_player .= "<song path=\"$dir{$playlist[$i]}\"
title=\"$title[$i]\" />";
$the_player .= "</player>";
echo $the_player;
then in the body
<div align="center">
<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
document.write('<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"');

document.write('type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="301" height="212">');
document.write('</embed></object>');
</script>
The playlist shows up correct in the source code of the page,
but it won't play unless the $_GET['list'] is a hard coded number??
can anyone figure out why its not playing?

I solved the problem by making the $_GET variable a parameter
in the url that calls the flash player, i changed these two lines
from:
document.write('<param name="movie"
value="musicplayer.swf?playlist=viewalbum.php" />');
document.write('<embed
src="musicplayer.swf?playlist=viewalbum.php" quality="high"
wmode="transparent"');
to:
document.write('<param name="movie"
value="musicplayer.swf?playlist=viewalbum.php?list=<?php echo
$title_id['playlist_id']; ?>" />');
document.write('<embed
src="musicplayer.swf?playlist=viewalbum.php?list=<?php echo
$title_id['playlist_id']; ?>" quality="high"
wmode="transparent"');
Now i have playlist that are stored in the db and can be
edited and new ones made. Perfect

Premiere Pro CS6 playing video but showing black screen?

I recently installed Debut video capture software and installed some codecs for it. I recorded some videos and imported them to premiere. When I put it in the sequence and press play, it just shows a black screen, but the sounds play. I played it in photoshop and vlc fine but not premiere pro. Also, I opened a project i've been working on before the video capture install and it plays the sound but shows a blank preview. It worked fine before. How can I fix this? Do I reinstall premiere, or reset something?

Welcome to the forum.
What CODEC is used by your capture software?
What CODEC's did you install?
Were those recently installed CODEC's in a free CODEC "pack," and if so, which one please?
Good luck,
Hunt

Flash player not loading videos after firefox update to 32.0.1

Hi,
I use Firefox portable and use it for work. I do moderation of videos. I open a page with 5-20 videos that load with Flash Player and view them. Today there was a Firefox update to 32.0.1 version. After update when I open a page I only get 1 video loaded and the others are blank. When I right-click on area where a video should be I get "Movie not loaded..." greyed (can not click) and "About Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.152..."
I checked and I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player plugin. It was updated few days ago and worked fine until Firefox update. I also checked to open a page with SRWare Iron (also portable browser) and everything works.

I tried reinstalling Flash twice. Did it as on the link for Windows. The second time I erased also a Flash folder in SysWOW64. Tried installing Adobe Shockwave Player, didn't help and when I disabled Flash plugin and left only Adobe Shockwave Player plugin, didn't get any videos just a link to get Flash.
Tried this with ProtectedMode=0, also didn't help, everything was the same.
So still, what ever the number of videos I open on one page/tab, I only get to see one video, the others are blank.

Flash player not playing .swfs - launching Flash Pro

Hey folks.
I'm running Windows 7. Previously, when double-clicked to open and view .swf files, they would open and play flawlessly. Now, It launches Flash Pro to play the .swf's - just like as if I were using a Mac.
This has only been happening since I installed CS5. Any idea what to do? I tried doing a right-click - open with - to set a default program but I don't see Flash Player as it is installed on my computer. I don't have a .swf icon - its a white icon with the Flash mneumonic inside it.
I have run updates and re-installed Flash Player - I don't know what else to try.

Found it! Just had to do more digging...
I've provided the path to the player.
