Flash player to fullscreen non widescreen.

I have looked several places and I can't seem to find anyone that can help me with this I want to know how to get Flash Player(on websites) to go completely fullscreen on my 1280x1024 display without it keeping its widescreen values. I want it to fit to the whole screen without it being widescreen and showing black areas on the top and bottom to fill in the extra space. Is there any way to edit some computer settings or flash player settings to do this? I am specifically talking about viewing streams on Twitch.tv, but any flash player based site would also be helpful. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

This is something that the website (twitch.tv for example) would need to implement, Flash Player does not dictate the video dimensions.
However, unless the widescreen content is zoomed/cropped or the aspect ratio is changed, causing the video to become stretched/squished, there's not much you can do about letter boxing when going from 16:9 to 5:4.

  • Problem with Adobe Flash Player in fullscreen mode

    Hi everybody, I have noticed a problem with flash player while I'm watching streaming programs in fullscreen mode.
    The problem is that when I'm watching something in fullscreen mode and the quality is set to "high" I have a stammer in both sound and image.
    When I 'm watching in "medium" quality everything is fine in fullscreen mode.
    The default selection is "high", how can I change this to "medium" ?
    It's very annoying to change this all the time manually.
    thxx in advance
    p.s. I use windows 7 64bit ultimate and the latest version of both firefox and adobe flash player

    So, you didn't need help with anything, you just wanted to rant?

  • I can't install flash player with a non-administrative user

    Hi,
    in my job, we've just rebuild a server, with a clean Windows
    2003 installation, all users are working with Terminal Server. The
    problem is that we are unable to install Flash player in IE7 on a
    user who have no administrative permissions but it works fine
    firefox. It gives the following error (translate from spanish to
    english ): "Error to copy Erma.inf. It's impossinle to copy this
    file to the destination folder".
    So far, we give permissions to all users in
    C:\windows\system32\Macromed
    Any idea?
    Thanks for all

    Hi G K,
    Flash Player is not supported on any mobile device.

  • Help installing flash player on a non-internet pc

    Hi - thanks in advance for your help
    I design websites on a computer that is not connected to the
    internet - it means my files are safer and no need for anti virus
    etc. The problem I have with this is that I can't view flash
    elements (eg buttons, text etc.) when previewing in a browser -
    they appear fine on dreamweaver and fine on any computer with flash
    installed - but evidently computers without an internet connection
    lack this plugin.
    I have tried to download adobe flash player but it is an
    instillation only file, it can't be saved as a setup file and then
    transfered to a different computer.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    This linksactualy leads to the same place I mentioned where
    it installs the
    player over the Internet
    Another thing is that these players are said to be different
    for different
    browsers which means they are working together with a
    browser. I am looking
    for a player which allows to play SWF file directly, without
    a browser.
    I have such a player installed together with FLASH-8 - I am
    looking for
    such a player

  • Flash Player + Safari = Outdated / Non-Existent

    So as it stands right now, any site that requires a flash player...or any "updated" software for this matter, can not be played via iPhone. Any fix?

    Harsh. I was really hoping for flash, though I guess I can live without it. I suppose it's possible for Adobe to completely redesign Flash Lite using the SDK to make it work for the iPhone but chances would be very unlikely. He said "You'll see a lot of apps out there this summer." Doesn't necessarily mean that there won't be some released before but I wouldn't get my hopes up... anymore.

  • Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000

    Thanks to numerous past discussions, methods have been found for installing Flash Player 11.2.202.235 on Windows 2000. See this thread, which explains how to use HxD Hex Editor to make a simple change that will allow installation on Windows 2000:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4428785
    The original post goes into fine detail with illustrations. Here's a quick redux:
    - Download the latest Adobe Flash Player (IE or non-IE) for Windows 32-bit systems.
    - Download HxD Hex Editor hereabouts (VirusTotal rates it clean):
    http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
    - Unzip and install HxD.
    - Launch HxD and open the Adobe Flash Player Installer, something like:
    install_flash_player_32bit.exe
    - Hit F3 for HxD's search function, and search for SetDllDirectoryW
    - On the right-hand side of the HxD display, change SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW
    - SaveAs install_flash_player_32bit_Win2k.exe or similar.
    - Quit HxD and run the modified Flash Player Installer. It should install fine on Win2k.
    This worked for me using Flash Player Installer 11.2.202.235, both IE and non-IE versions.
    This is a hack and is not officially supported by Adobe.

    I installing the Adobe Flash plugin ONLY by my own hand. Sadly, Adobe did not come up with zip archive with just the plugin dll file, but I install - copy the DLL - and uninstall. Then manually delete the remaining files and just use the DLL or the installer.
    To make the installe work at Win2k, the very same hack is need - hack the Flash Util file the same way, as the dll - change in it the SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW and that it is!
    If someone want, there is Flash Util and Adobe Flash as DLL files, hacked with W2k:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/3122942562/Flash%20Players%20for%20W2k.zip
    http://depositfiles.org/files/max4wif3c
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/z2t9j2
    Archive contain Adobe Flash unpacked (ready to copy into Firefox) with their utility files hacked for W2k in these versions: Flash Player 9.0.124.0, Flash Player 10.0.32.18, Flash Player 10.1.85.3, Flash Player 10.1.102.64, Flash Player 10.2.159.1, Flash Player 10.3.183.29, Flash Player 11.2.202.235, Flash Player 11.3.300.273, Flash Player 11.4.402.287
    Interesting thing. Fullscreen video won't work on YouTube (only white screen, sound go ok) with Firefox v3.0.14 and Adobe Flash higher version that 10.0.32.18... Strange, strange 
    (could be that the Firefox is kinda old, but it is weird that v10.0.32.18 works flawlessly and just v10.1.85.3 not at all in fullscreen... I also use relatively old Forceware drivers v45.28 on crap GF2MX400 card :-) )

  • Cannot install Flash Player in Windows 8.1

    Tried to install Flash Player in Windows 8.1 (32 bit).  Used all the instructions; i.e, disable saftey, enable scripting, etc. An install box says Update KB2934802 is already installed.  Searched computer for KB.....02 and Flash Player.  Says none exist.  Any suggestions?

    Ever since Windows 8, Flash Player for Internet Explorer is written by Adobe ONLY. It's embedded by Microsoft, and you cannot:
    - Update it
    - Download it
    - Install it
    - Reinstall it
    from here. You MUST update Flash Player ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) through Windows update. But... Using Windows 8.1 means you were forced to update to IE11, which has it's own problems and they can be summed up in three words...
    "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    The REAL solution, like the original problem can also be summed up in three words:
    "Use 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.

  • How is one to safely deal with the "Update Adobe Flash Player" Pop-Up?

    Good computer security practice would be to *not* click on anything in the unexpected pop-up, but instead close that window and then either:
    Go to the Adobe site and download the "Update" from there -- but the site never offers "updates", it just offers downloads of the product. 
    Open the cited application on one's computer and use its "update" process -- but I can never find the most recent Adobe Flash Player application on my Mac.  I've used Adobe's Update process multiple times in the past and the result is multiple old versions of Adobe Flash Player scattered around, but the latest version which the Adobe Flash Player test site at URL:  http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/   says that I have is nowhere to be found.  Right now, running that test on my Mac results in the feedback:  "You have version 11,0,1,152 installed"
    If one does click on the "INSTALL" button in the pop-up, is the Adobe "update" process which is to run supposed to just add another "new" version of Adobe Flash Player (in some non-intuitive place), or is it also to remove the older versions, or at least the most recent older version, of Adobe Flash Player?
    Is there some predictable default location where Adobe Flash Player should be installed on Mac OS X?

    The download does EXACTLY what the "update" does... it downloads the full new version (about 3.6mb) and OVERWRITES the older version.
    In your Library/Application Support/Adobe folder (I forget just exactly where) the plug-in installs for your installed browsers.  The updater overwrites the files there.

  • QR code reader needs Adobe flash player

    My iPhone 4S can not read certain QR codes because it needs Adobe Flash Player.
    I am using RedLaser app for this.
    Is there another app which circumvents this problem?

    Are all QR codes linked to Flash Player?
    No - none are. QR codes contain email address, contact details, web site addresses etc.
    If the web site the QR code links to contains Flash - you won't be able to view that particular website content on yor iPhone. It is nothing to do with the QR code. The QR code just contains the link - not the actual content.

  • Installed and verifed but Flash Player continues to crash in Firefox.  Any suggestions

    Flash Player sometime activates and then crashes after a few seconds.

    Thanks for responding Chris.  Flash Player consistently crashes no matter what site I am in.  I've tried all of the suggested fixes in Flash Player help and nothing has been successful. The computer confirms that I have downloaded the most recent file but Adobe Flash Player doesn't show in the Firfox Add Ons.  I also tried Firefox flash player suggestions but none worked.  It crashes no matter what page I am on.  If flash player is required, it crashes.  It also crashes in Internet Explorer.  I am a novice so please bear with me.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

Have you tried any browser other than Firefox?  It would be helpful to know if these same types of crashes occur with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.2. Did this crashing behavior just start occurring?  If so, was there a particular update or event that preceded the crashing?3. Does the crashing happen consistently?  Ie. If you go to the same web page that contains Flash content, does it crash every time you visit?  Does it crash when you visit this page?  Flash Player Help  What pages does it crash on?4. Can you visit about:crashes within Firefox and submit some of the most recent crashes.  Once submitted, please post back with the crash URL's.4. Can you try resetting your Firefox profile?  Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
    Firefox Help5. Finally, can you try temporarily disabling protected mode to see if that makes a difference (this will be the last step in the faq)?  How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox? Thanks,

    Yes, Adobe's software, known bug.  Install the Flash 11 release candidate.

  • Flash player vs. flash Plugin

    I am trying to be diligent about keeping all my Adobe products up to date.  Flash is next in line but I don't quite understand what the flash player is as compared to the plugin.  I have multiple computers that have both installed and want to make sure everything is on the current version.  So my questions are:
    #1. What is the difference between the player and the plugin?
    #2. When I go to Adobe's site and update flash it only updates the flash player, not the plugin.  Where is the update for the plugin to bring it current?
    #3. Is the plugin even needed if the flash player is installed?
    Thanks for the input in advance.

    Hi BD, The Flash Player term applies to all browsers that is supported. If you see Flash Player ActiveX in your Add/Remove or Programs and Features, this indicates you have it Installed in Internet Explorer. If you see Flash Player plug-in listed there, it indicates that you have it Installed in Firefox, Chrome or any other browser that is supported.
    In the IE add ons, one would also have the Shockwave Flash Object, the ActiveX Control that works with the Flash files for IE that have been Installed and it must be Enabled.
    In the FF or other browsers, one would find the SWF vs 10.0.45.2 (latest version) listed and it must be Enabled. This is the plug-in and yes it is needed.
    When Installing Flash Player, you would need to Use IE and Install for that browser. Then if you want Flash Player Installed for Firefox or another browser, then Use that browser and Install Flash Player for all non-IE browsers.
    The link for non-IE browsers is here which you would download to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    Hope this helps explain it.
    Thanks,

  • When using Flash plugin in Fullscreen the video starts pausing occasionally for a second. OK when not in Fullscreen and works fine in Fullscreen with other Browsers.

    I have recently upgraded to 10.0 and whenn using Flash Player in Fullscreen it behaves badly. Starts pausing frequently for aroun a second. It's annoying. When I escape fullscreen and run it within the Browser panel it's fine.. Other Browsers work fine in Full Screen Mode. Tried it with IE and Google Chrome. Firefox is my default Browser so my preferred option.

  • Why won't Flash Player download?

    I'm trying to download Flash Player on OS 10.6.8, but all that will download is the installer. When I click on he installer, it simply downloads the installer again. I've gone through all the suggestions on the Adobe site for this problem.

    I got the same result: A small window appears, indicating that the file was downloaded. I click on that and I get another file that says to Install Flash Player. I click on that and an icon appears on my hard drive; the icon indicates that it's the same installer as before. So I click on that, and I get a file that says it's the installer. It's going in circles. Awhile back I did get in my applications folder a file labeled "Flash Player.plugin" but clicking on that brings no result.
    In my applications folder I now have five icons labeled "Flash Player," all of which simply tell me to Install FP. I also have in the folder four docs labeled "Install Adobe Flash Player.app" but none of them will install FP.
    I have had an older version of FP working, but when I received notice that I needed to upgrade, I tried to do that. I also took the advice on the Adobe site to use the FP Install Manager to delete that old version. The deletion worked fine; the installation of the upgrade doesn't work.
