Flash media player starts and stops

I have Flash 9,0,115,0 and it works according to the test on
the adobe website. However, when I try to play google videos, they
start and stop and and freeze. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to get a hold of this tool or any similar
"before" I install FMS 3.0. I'm glad I didn't install it last
weekend. I didn't know there were some risks of not playing my
current flv's. Now, I want to check all of my flv's before I make
the move...
Also, is there any chance at all, that the
start/stop/start/stop condition in all my videos (under FMS 2)
after 2 connections could be blamed on the player? I have a custom
made player. Can you point me to the right resources?
I'm fairly new to this technology and really appreciate your
time in answering my questions.
Thanks,

Flash video is just awful - starts and stops

10.6.8 iMac 4Gb ram. Main browser Firefox.
Flash video has gotten progressively worse with Adobe updates over last 3 months. Used to run youtube smooth as glass.
Now yt video runs for a 30 sec then stops, restarts after 5seconds, runs for 15, stops for 5. If you rerun the same video (see wrchd.com for Argentine Rally preview video), it stops and starts at the same spots.
I have Little snitch running a you can see a nice buffer load of data come in to start the video, then there is a period when there's no activity until it stops. It sort of like Flash gets carried away watching its own display and forgets to get more info.
Same results watching dailyshow.
I've tried turning hardware acceleration in Flash off and on with no change in performance.
So why does Flash fail now?
Thanks for any advice.

Flash Player 9 just stopped working and won't reinstall

I am running Firefox on a MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X v.
10.4.9).
One minute, my Flash Player was working just fine and the
next minute I start getting messages that I need to install the
plug-in. I have repeatedly tried installing, uninstalling,
restarting, reinstalling, etc. several times and I still get the
same message.
I looked in the 'plugins' folder for Firefox and I don't even
see the Flash plugin. It's also not working in Safari. Please help
me get this thing working.
Ricky Furr

Thanks for responding. I took "Flash Player.plugin" and
"flashplayer.xpt" out of the Internet Plugins folder and put them
on the desktop. I ran the installer and when it tried to install
"flashplayer.xpt" It said "Error Creating File: 1008:5,-5000 Access
Denied Error" then followed immediately with "You do not have
enough access privileges for this installation." I only have one
user account on this computer and it's an Admin account so that
really doesn't make any sense.
After I got that message, I tried also taking out "Flash
Player Enabler.plugin" and got the same message. Then I tried
Uninstalling, Restarting, and Reinstalling. Same thing happened.
I put the files back where they were.

Flashing stacked sequence auto start and stop

Seems like this should be so easy but I'm stumped.
I want to use some flashing leds while some of my data is plotted but can’t figure out a way to programmatically start and stop a simple flashing stacked sequence.
thanks for any help.

OK. Then put the flashing in the loop with Stuff 2, which I presume is the one for which you want to show activity. I modified your program to do this. I also eliminated the sequence structure by using dataflow. You can probably get down to one loop by changing to a state machine structure.
If the flashing rate needs to be a different rate than the Stuff 2 logic, put the slower part into a case structure which only executes one time for every n iterations.

Intermittant problems with Flash Player 7 and 8

Good morning,
While "stress testing" a recent Captivate 2 generated quiz
lesson, one of our testers noticed some odd behavior. (Granted,
most students will not do the following actions, but I thought I'd
mention it anyway.)
First let me add that we use a LMS and that this behavior
might have something to do with the LMS, but I suspect the problem
might be in how Flash Player 7 and 8 handle viewing a SWF file.
The tester would start the quiz, answer a few questions, then
close the session (before the conclusion of the quiz). The tester
(student) would then (through the LMS) go to the quiz/lesson link
and begin again. The Quiz behaviors are that the student can't go
back to any question they have already answered. In theory the
student would go back to the next unanswered question and continue
with the quiz.
The first time this is done, everything appears to work well.
However, if the same student behavior is done again, when the
quiz/lesson is re-launched the student is taken to the very first
slide, not the one where they left off. If they go to the first
question slide they will find that it appears to be unanswered. The
student then tries to answer it and nothing happens, nore can the
student move to the next question. They are "stalled" and can go no
further. Any subsequent attempt to re-enter the quiz produces the
same effect. Additionally, if this is done without restarting the
computer the browser (Internet Explorer) will hang and they'll need
to stop the process.
I found that in Captivate 2 you have 3 options for building a
solotion when you publish a project. You can publish using Flash
Player 6, 7 or 8. Only by selecting Flash Player 6 does this
behavior stop. The Flash Player 6 selection seems to work well.
Anyone else had problems with FlashPlayer 7 and 8?

Flash Player 11 sends the getServerVersion request in order to determine the capabilities of the Flash Access license server. If you are running a 2.0 server, it should return an HTTP 404 error, since it does not support this endpoint. The client understands that to mean it is communicating with a Flash Access 2.0 server, and will send the license request accordingly. In other words, the fact that your 2.0 server does not support getServerVersion should not cause the license acquisition to fail.
Is your server responding to the getServerVersion request with a 404? After the getServerVersion request arrives at your server, you should see another request asking for a license. In your server logs, do you see any errors in the license request processing?

WHY DO THE VIDEOS I AM TRYING TO VIEW (YOU TUBE ETC) START AND STOP ALL THE TIME.. I HATE THAT!!!

Why do the videos that I am trying to view (you tube etc) always start and stop. it is very annoying and I can't seem to fix it.... thanks for your pointers... as you can see, I am not a techie. the fact that numbers, letters and picture appear on my computer screen is

Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
A suggestion:
Go to YouTube, open any video and press pause (don't do this while video is playing).
Click the ctrl key or “right click” the mouse in the middle of the video window. The settings for flash player will pop up.
Select the video settings then select "enable hardware acceleration."
Press close.
Now RESTART YOUR COMPUTER not just Safari if that is your browser of choice.

Starting and stopping video and MP3

I can't seem to get around my video and audio files starting when I arrive at the page. I'm even using some example code with start and stop buttons. This is in CS4 Flash. I expect it's because the ActionScript is in the wrong place because when I run the movie it flashes through all of the pages on the site without stopping at the home page. Is there some generic code that will allow me to simply swap out the name of the video or audio file I want to start. If there is, do I need to locate it on its own layer at the top of the timeline? Thanks to anyone who can help.

>>Why is it that the default setting for a video player placed on the stage
is to start playing when the page appears? I would think it would be
paused.<<
I don't know it doesn't seem any more logical to have it paused. I assume it
is just a preference on the part of the developers of Flash.
>>Is there some piece of script that can correct this situation<<
There are several ways to pause the video playback at teh beginning of the
Flash movie. It actually depends on how you have the movie inserted into the
time line. If you used an FLVPlayback component, then all you have to do is
click to select the component, open the component inspector
(window>component Inspector) and se the autoplay value for the component to
false. If you have the video inserted another way let me know.
>>Forgive my naivete but I am trying to learn the ways of Actionscript
wherever I can find it and builds something at the same time.<<
Thats always hard. What tecnology do you normally work with Ajax? C++
The comment about the behavior of video suggests you work with a technology
that has the opposite autoplay behavior.

Starting and Stopping FMLE from command line yields corrupt .flv files

I am using FMLE to record and live stream TV content. In order to this I am remotely calling FMLEcmd in order to start and stop encoding processes. The problem that I am running in to is that the .flv files generated are corrupt. The odd thing is that if I use the exact same profile XML from the GUI, then the encoding process works just fine and results appear as intended.
Here is the way my workflow works:
I start the process by calling
FMLEcmd /p C:\lighttpd\htdocs\xml\default.xml /l C:\lighttpd\htdocs\logs\log.txt
then at the conclusion of the recording I call
FMLEcmd /s "C:\lighttpd\htdocs\files\default.flv"
When I attempt to open the files using FFmpeg I get a codec error saying that no codecs were detected. When I attempt to open the files in VLC I get a error saying that the media types are "Undf". When I attempt to open or modify the files with flvtool2 I get an end-of-file error. My guess is that my stop command is incorrect and somehow abruptly stopping the stream, but I don't know another way to stop the stream. Do I need to specify a specific stream duration in the XML and make sure to call the stop command *after* the duration has been reached? What would cause this codec corruption when the same profile works properly from the GUI?
Here is the profile I am attempting to use.

If issue of corrupt file after cmd line not in GUI mode. Are you using some automation to copy/paste output flv to someother location?
AFAIK, after placing stop command, FMLE took some time to write proper EOF in FLV. wait ~10 sec for FMLE to complete file writing process and than play in FLV PLayer.
I tried manually with steps you mentioned and it's working fine for me.I playerd file in Applian Flash PLayer. "http://www.applian.com/flvplayer/"

Videos keep starting and stopping

I cannot play videos from websites or YouTube, The video will
play a few seconds, stop for a few seconds or minutes. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled Flash.
OS: Windows XP Professional
Browser: IE 7 or Firefox 2.0.0.16
Connection: High speed dial up
Video Player: Flash 9
Thank you.

It is now working fine for me (knock on wood).
There are a couple of things I tried, so I am not sure if it
was a combination of these, or if something else changed. First, I
uninstalled and reinstalled the player a number of times. (After
doing this each time, however, it still kept starting and
stopping.) Second, I right-clicked on the player during playback to
pull up the settings, clicked the folder icon, and set the local
storage to maximum. (After doing this, however, it still kept
starting and stopping.) Third, I ran an updated version of
Ad-Aware, which caught and deleted more tracking cookies than my
virus checker was doing. The next day, everything on the Daily Show
site seemed to work fine (still haven't checked other sites).
So my suspicion is that some kind of tracking cookie
installed itself and was causing the problems. I hope it
helps.

Flash Player installation and update questions and answers

How do I verify that I have the latest version of Flash Player?
If you receive a message that tells you that Flash Player is out of date or a new version of Flash Player is available, you can verify this by visiting the Flash Player Help page with your browser.
Simply click the "Check Now" button and you'll be presented with a short message and detailed information regarding your Flash Player installation.
Where should I download the latest version of Flash Player?
Because malware authors will often employ misleading tactics to make malware look like something you should trust, it's important to get your Flash Player updates directly from Adobe.
Please verify that your Flash Player downloads and updates come from only the adobe.com or macromedia.com domains. You can always download the latest version of Flash Player directly from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
I've selected the automatic update option in Flash Player, why do I continue to get update notifications?
Periodically, users are presented with the Flash Player update dialog notifying them that a new version of Flash Player is available for download from adobe.com.
The automatic update mechanism is used for some updates, security patches that address zero-day vulnerabilities and when users, who have selected to be updated automatically, have not updated within 45 days after a regularly scheduled update release of Flash Player.
What should I expect when I receive notification that Flash Player has an update available?
When a major update to Flash Player becomes available you will be presented with a Flash Player update dialog
After reviewing new features, pressing the Download button will open your default browser and load the Install Adobe Flash Player page.
Clicking the "Update now" or "Install Now" button will then take you to the next page which will start the download process and give instructions for completing the Flash Player install.
Finally, once the installation is complete your browser will display a page confirming a successful installation.
If you encounter installation problems, we recommend you review our Windows and Mac OS installation help documents. Further questions and information can be found on the Flash Player installation forums.
Why does Adobe Flash Player installer include the option to download additional software?
Adobe offsets the ongoing development costs of Flash Player, which is made available for free, by offering users the option to download select software from Adobe partners.
What options do I have when installing or updating Flash Player?
You have a few different options available when updating Flash Player. We recommend that you choose "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" when initially setting up Flash Player
or by going into the Flash Player control panel and choosing this option in the Advanced tab.
Once selected, most updates will occur in the background without requiring any interaction. For those regularly scheduled major update releases, you will be presented with an update notification dialog
If you decide not to update, you will receive an automatic update within 45 days if you have the "Allow Adobe to install updates" option selected. Please note that when this update occurs, only Flash Player will be installed.
If you want to be notified about every Flash Player update, select "Notify me to install updates" when initially installing Flash Player or from the Advanced tab in the Flash Player control panel.
Finally, if you'd prefer not to receive any updates, select "Never check for updates (not recommended)". We do not recommend this option as we believe keeping your system up to date improves both security and stability when using Flash Player.
For network Administrators we offer additional update options, including the ability to host your own internal Flash Player update server. Please see our Flash Player distribution page and Flash Player Administrator guide for details.

Sunil, I just want to verify you are pointing me to the link under "Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile."
If yes, then that is the file I originally downloaded based on a March post I saw here.
I just tried it again, and it (by "it" I mean the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers from download.macromedia.com) installed 11.6.
After the installation process completed, the dialog box notified me it was version 11.6, and when I went back to, the "find version" page, 11.6 was confirmed.
I did not download the exe for Internet Explorer, as I almost never use that browser.
