Flash Player requires "Kick start" to play video contents
Am presently Flash Player 11.5.502.146 on Windows 7 64 Bit with Firefox 18.0.1.
I have been having a rather odd occurence. When I go to youtube.com and select a video, all I get is a black box with no controls and nothing happens. (This also happens on other sites such as CBSSports.com) If I right click on said black box, it just says "About Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.146" which obviously takes me to the Aodobe websight.
Here is the strange part: If I start a video on Facebook, it runs, even if I opt to open it up on youtube. Then if I select another video or close and reopen the browser, we are back to the black box. It is almost as if the other website "kick start" the player.
Another odd thing I noticed is that when working with the adobe sites troubleshooting tools (like detecting versions etc) when ever there was supposed to be a box generated from the Adobe sight with some controls or options, it would never appear. I also tried all of the solutions suggested here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_5__Delete_all _Flash_Player_browsing_data to no avail.
I have installed 11.6 beta as well as Adobe Shockwave, tried switching to IE9 as well as Chrome with no resolution.
Not sure it is the "Total Defense" Program as I tried to repeat my earlier results (too bad I did not have the forsight to write down which processes I was stopping) and started with all CA/Total Defencse processes I could locate, logging off and into my son's profile(as this is logging off seemed to be a factor in my earlier success) but have been unable to isolate what service/process is the culprit. I also tried uninstalling Itunes and all the other stuff that came with it (such as Bonjour and Apple Mobile EDevice support) as this was installed around the time this issue started but again no luck. Just this morning I had the task manager open and went to youtube and it showed 2 flashplayer related processes were running but still got the "movie not loaded" message with the right click.
I am going to install an app called Process explorer which from what I gather, gives more details than taks manager and see if that helps in my endevour.
Thanks again for your time!

Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast
Hi
I have just updated to the lastest version of flashplayer 11.3.300.257. Now, all vidoes in youtube and bbc iplayer etc that use flashplayer run very fast and without sound (just like fast forwarding x4).
I am on Windows Vista Business Edition (all updates included)
Browser is IE9.
I have tried a clean reinstall of flash player a number of times but same issue.
I have cleared caches and deleted all history etc via the advanced section of the software.
I have also removed the hardware acceleration. Nothing has helped.
However, if i run in "safe mode" it seems to run at the correct speed. I have uninstalled all recent software updates (such as skype) but still the issue remains. Is it likely to be a conflict issue?
I have tried to install a previous version of flashplayer from the archives page but get an error message 1722.
Can anyone help?
NigelFor my reference, here's the bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3217331 - Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast
In order to get traction on this, they're going to need to be able to reproduce it.
It would be great if you could do two things:
- Provide direct links to a couple videos that reproduce this problem.
If they're on different sites, and based in the US, even better. (Geographic restrictions make it hard to troubleshoot. We can VPN, but that can mask/introduce network and timing problems.)
- Provide the output of dxdiag.exe
Go to Start > Run > and type "debugdiag" no qoutes, then hit [Enter]
Save the output and attach it to the bug above. -

SpryTabbedPanel: Flash player in tabs do not play video streams
Note: I am a complete noob (no experience with Javascript and rudimentary experience with htlm/css). Please be patient (I hope that this is the correct forum for this) and know that I am appreciative of any help or solution that anyone can provide.
Using Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac OS 10.5.8
We recently switched all of our streaming servers from Windows Media (good riddance) to Flash Media Server 3.5 (now getting awesome H.264 quality in comparison).
I was asked to re-design this webpage with the aim of re-organizing the content so that it is more accessible:
http://www.librarymedia.net/VideoGallery.html
We used Adobe's test page for our first page:
http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/videoplayer.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.4/live/livestr eam&type=live&idx=10
This was meant as a temporary page to get us started, and as you can see, it needs work but at least it works.
I've been working the the final version of this page. My boss wants a tabbed web page with links to our video streams (tab for each category of streams).
This is what I have so far:
http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash2/videoplayer2.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.4/live/lives tream&type=live&idx=10
I realize that I had several options before building this. One, I could have made a separate page for each tab and linked them with a tab menu. In hindsight, this might have been a better option since I could have just copied the working page that we already have for each tab. Or I could have done what I have tried to do: to use Dreamweaver's SpryTabbedPanel to make the tabs and insert a Flash player with links into each tab.
The problem:
1. The streams do not play. The player says "initializing" and then "please enter a stream name and play". Please note that I used SpryURLutils to get each link to open in the appropriate tab.
2. After reading about the benefits of external vs. inline javascript, I took all of the inline javascript that was contained in Adobe's sample page and placed it in an external file. I tried placing the javascript back into the source code (inline), but this did not fix the problem. I guess there is a Javascript problem or I need extra Javascript code to get this to work. The javascript code is below. Use view source in your web browser to see source code. Please let me know if I need to provide more information.
Thanks.

>There is a sample application of the code included with the zip file which shows how to implement it.
The sample doesn't really tell me what I need to do to the code to make it work (I do not know javascript), and unfortunately, I have not found any helpful instructions/documentation online. You've given me the answer, I just don't know enough to implement it. This is what I've done:
1. Placed the FAVideo.js file in my site folder and linked it to the page: <script src="FAVideo.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
2. I added the following code (taken from the SimpleDemo.html example inside the FAVideo folder). My comments in bold. Page at
http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash2/videoplayer2.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Ol ympics2010_640x480.mov
<! To the <body> section:-->
<body onLoad="">
<div id="divOne"></div>
<!-Do I have to place the entire page within the "divOne" div (or just the section containing the tabs) in order for the javascript to work?-->
<!-In the <head> section: -->
<script type="text/javascript">
playerOne = new FAVideo("divOne", "TabbedPanels1", "demo_video.flv",0,0,{ autoLoad:true, autoPlay:true });
</script>
<!- I noticed that the body code added a div id called "divOne", so I added the "TabbedPanels1" div id to the above code thinking that this would apply the javascript code to all of the tabs. Dreamweaver adds <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels"> to the page when you insert the tabbed menu, so I'm thinking the javascript has to point to either one of those for it to work. The "demo_video.flv",0,0 code is probably unneccesary, right? As you can see, I'm completely clueless. -->
<script>
playerOne.addEventListener("playheadUpdate",this,myHandler);
playerOne.removeEventListener("playheadUpdate",this,myHandler);
function myHandler() {
//alert("eh");
</script>

Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player, some sites do not play video
Hi,
Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player and active x from adobe.com, some sites do not play the video. A request box, install the plug in comes. When i click it, it again tries to install the same version of adobe, which i have already downloaded. it is only for some sites.
May be it is because, it is site problem? How to overcome itActiveX is part of the Windows operating system. Plus the ActiveX version of Adobe Flash is for Internet Explorer. Other browsers need their own version of Flash' Firefox needs the Plugin version of Flash.
If you go to the Adobe website to download Flash while using Firefox, Adobe will provide the correct version of Flash automatically. Just make sure you de-select any other programs that Adobe may want to stick you with before you actually download Flash. Then close Firefox and run the Adobe Flash installer. -
After trying all procedures I can find in Flash Player Help I still cannot play videos on Firefox, I
I am running Windows 7 64-bit and have tried every procedure I can find, and I still cannot get video on any browser.
Do you mean you can not play video but you can play game or other Flash contents?
What about version info page which is extremely simple Flash contents?

Have looked at Flash Settings but not able to find solution. Tried reverting to Firefox v.6.02 but this did not resolve the problem.
Try version 4.01 works great with flash for me at least
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/4.0.1/win32/
I have been having crash issues with v 6 and 7 of Firefox. Make sure you update to latest version of adobe as well -
After uninstalling and downloading the latest Abobe Flash player, I can no lnger play youtube videos. I get the message "blocked plug-in". It works in Firefox, but not Safari?

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays videos ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU).
When playing video in default size it's OK (windows and Linux), but when setting video in full screen, on Linux there's troubles: video is hashed (freeze every 3 seconds).
CPU : AMD APU Athlon 5350.
OS : Linux Mint 17 (64 bits).
Browser: Firefox v31 (on Linux and Windows 7).
Linux AMD video driver : Catalyst v14.4 (amd-catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6.zip)
Linux Flash polayer version: 11,2,202,400 (deteced from https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ )Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed? I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
Thanks,

Does Macbook really needs adobe flash player download in order to watch video clips on the web?
Hello Angel8C,
Your MacBook Air running Yosemite will need an updated version of the Flash Player plugin to play web content that is in the Flash format (not all video content is Flash; there is also HTML5 video, amongst others). If you are being prompted to update your Flash Player plugin, you may find the following article helpful:

I just bought an I pad abd find that it is compatible with Adobe Flash Player which I need to play bridge on BBO. Is there a solution to this problem?
No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that." -
