Flash Player Video Performance issue in IE 9.0.124

So everything was going fine until we got all users to update
their player to the new 9.0.124 version. We host HD videos on our
site and people love the quality we provide. Well at least until
now. Videos started to stutter while download is still in progress.
That is once the video is completely downloaded the stuttering
stops. This is seen only is IE (on Windows). On FireFox and Safari
(on Windows) this issue is not seen at all.
Now we have a ExternalInterface call back in the download
progress event that calls into a javascript method on the page.
This javascript method simply displays the information it gets as a
parameter. No complicated or tim consuming work is being done here.
After doing some tests we find that if we remark out the call
to ExternalInterface.addCallback the stuttering stops happening. So
it looks to me like something has changed (in this new version) in
the way the ExternalInterface stuff works, to the extent that it
hampers video playback.

Bentley,
Don't mean to shoot the messenger...so please take this in
good faith.
I'd gladly log a bug if anything was ever done about it. I've
been logging bugs with Adobe on Flash player and Flex for two years
but these bugs are still outstanding and deferred to the next
release :). Releases come and go but the issues are outstanding.
These issues are show stoppers for a lot of people.
I see no point in me taking the extra effort if nothing is
going to be done about it. Other software companies I work with
respond immediately.
Others, won't see the issue unless they're doing what we are
:). Things were working fine until we upgraded to the new player.
To me that's an issue that needs to be addressed no?
I'd gladly provide you with two links, one that shows this
issue and one that does not if it helps verify the problem.

[Stage3D] Flash Player 11 Performance Issue

Hey people!
I’m currently writing my dissertation for my Bachelor of Arts or Science.
For this dissertation I compare Flash with Unity with a performance test. I used Away3D for the Flash applications and draw graphs.
Now I have results which are very strange.
Please take a look at the embed picture.
There you can see Unity make an smooth graph, while the Flash-Graph appears in a stairway.
Did anyone know why this happens? Is this why Flash clear the temporary RAM only if the limit reached?!
I need this for my analysis. So if anyone have an idea, please tell me.
It's not important that in this graph, Unity is better. After this Graph I find some things I have to equal. So it's just about this "stairway".
My application works as follows:
Every 0,5 seconds I’m adding an Object (992 Polys or 5288 Polys..depends on the object i choose for the test) on the stage.
I automaticly add 17 in a horizontal row and 7 in a vertical row.
After this I multiply my z-coordinate so I can add as many objects in depth.
Every 25 objects I write the FPS and the object-count in the database to create these graphs.
I also append an defuse shader to the Objects an rotate them around the y-Axis to higher the activity of my processor and graphic card.
Further Information:
The only other things on my Stage are the camera-object and a pointlight.
The pointlight and the far clippingplane have an depth of 10.000 to render objects if there are more than 3000 on the stage.
I’ve activated mipmapping and 2x Antialaising.
Batchrendering is deactivated in Flash and in Unity.
If anyone can help me: THANKS!!!

Videocard performance is often limited by bottlenecks. When you exceed the available resources in any particular step of the priceline you suddenly go from what was one pass to two, and subsuquently you see performance dropoffs in cliffs rather than gradual decline.
That said, mismanagment of resource allocation is probably the cause. If you send me the swf I can give you detailed perfomance information and identify the culprit. (I'd like to know, too =)

How to see flash player videos?

How to see flash player videos? When I try it, I get an error message ...Thanks for your help

Flash is not supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
Depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are probably out of luck if you want to play on-line though the iSwifter app might work on some of them, but again some flash games have app versions in the store.

Airplay mirroring not compatible with adobe flash player videos

anybody else have this problem with playing adobe flash player video via Airplay mirroring? The video freezes on me and the audio quits...

It is on OSX though. They are playing it from a laptop.
And AirPlay freezes quits and generally does not work well regularly unless you have an absolutely perfect network setup. I am assuming you are using WiFi. If you want to use AirPlay you will probably at least need ATV connected via a wired connection.

Hi Bentley,
I just noticed something. The link that I pasted, to your
post, does not work either. I noticed why, however, and it seems to
be why the link in your original page does not work, and why the
link in my post that goes to your post does not work.
It seems to be that if a link has a period after it (i.e., if
it is at the end of a sentence), the period is incorrectly included
in the "real" link. Somehow, whatever mechanism that processes the
post has a mini bug in it.
If you go to the link that is results in "Sorry, this page is
not available", and look up into the browser address bar, you will
see the period there each time.
I just thought that I would point this out, too, so that the
web techs in charge of the workings of the forums could look into
it.
Here is the original link, without a period after it, to your
original page.

Can the Ipod Touch 5th Generation play Adobe Flash Player Videos?

I use to have a Ipod Touch 2nd Gen.
And It could not play some Adobe Flash Video from different website and I tried to Install Adobe Flash Player
Ipod Touch 2nd Gen "It can't download this file"
Can the Ipod Touch 5th Generation play Adobe Flash Player Videos?
So Is the Ipod Touch 5th Gen able to Install Adobe Flash Player and download It?

No. iOS devices do not support Flash.

Do you know if there is an app to play flash player videos?

Does anyone know if there is an app to play flash player videos?

You can use one of the alternative browsers such as Puffin, Skyfire, Photon, etc.

Recent ML upgrade leads to widespread video performance issues.

Hello,
I recently took the leap to Mountain Lion and I'm starting to regret my decision. I have noticed a real drop off in video performance across the entire system.
Firstly, I came across a well documented issue with Final Cut Pro 7 video playback in the canvas. Playback is almost unusable due to introduced artifacts and tearing. However the video performance issues seem more wide spread than "unsupported software". I notice extremely rough image switching when I switch between workspaces, particularly on the second monitor. Also, when the screen saver kicks in and it swaps images, the same very klunky image swap is noticed on the second monitor. Also when the Reading List display is toggled in Safari, the remaining window slide left or right is not smooth at all, irrespective of what monitor it is on. There are other Safari rendering issues too, involving flickers, and other general video issues.
My machine is a mid-2010 Mac Pro, 6 core, 3.3GHz with 24GB of RAM and a 5870 graphics card. None of these issues were present in Lion.
I was wondering whether anyone else had noticed similar issues and if so, what if anything can be done about it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Scott

This problem is not restricted to Leopard, 10.4.10 with QuickTime 7.3 is affected too. 10.4.11 doesn't show any improvements either. Yes, we need a fix for this... but one that solves this problem on Tiger as well, please.

Help with Video Performance Issues using Flash

Asking on behalf of a customer who has been unable to get any answers so far - are you able to help?
Background:
We have a port of our Game Development Kit which allows us to recompile all our games using Crossbridge (http://adobe-flash.github.io/crossbridge/) into SWF without any code modifications.
Overview:
Our framework is using OpenGL for rendering and we have successfully ported it along with the audio and video to run in Flash.
We are experiencing performance issues using Video. We cannot use image sequence as some of the video animations are too long and would increase the download to an unacceptable size. Assets vary between 256x256 - 1024x1024 videos.

Here's the rest of the story. Let me know if you can see any resolution, and I will connect him to the forums. Thank you.
Current Video Solution:
We create an instance of NetConnection, NetStream, and Video according to most samples out there, and invoke draw to rasterize the Video DisplayObject into a BitmapData instance.
The BitmapData instance has a fixed color component layout which is not compatible with Stage3D texture and is therefore has to be reformatted before uploaded to Stage3D Texture (See Code Listing below).
Our Problems:
Performance issues with RGBA conversion (either using copyChannel or manually reformatting is not fast enough) natively in as3; this required for stage3d texture.Copying each channel individual using bitmapdata.Copychannel seems faster, but not significantly faster.
Cannot detect when video frame has been updated, therefore we may copy pixels that are not needed in enterframe (processpixel).
Looping video, our current solution uses the NET_STATUS event Buffer empty; Is there a better way to loop videos than checking buffer and seeking to 0.
Stepping video, loading FLV or MP4 side by side assets from HTTP or embedded does not support stepping? Is there another way?
ActionScript Code Listing:
video_nc = new NetConnection();
video_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS , onConnect);
video_nc.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR , trace);
video_nc.connect(null);
// OnConnect Event:
this.ns = new NetStream(e.target as NetConnection);
eventclient = new Object();
eventclient.onMetaData = onMetaData;
this.ns.client = eventclient;
ns.play(flvfile);
ns.pause();
//onMetaData event:
this.width = infoObject.width;
this.height = infoObject.height;
this.textureWidth = NextPowerOfTwo(this.width);
this.textureHeight = NextPowerOfTwo(this.height);
cliprect = new Rectangle(0, 0, this.width ,this.height);
cliprect.x = 0;
cliprect.y = 0;
cliprect.width = this.textureWidth;
cliprect.height = this.textureHeight;
totalFrames = infoObject.duration * infoObject.fps;
this.hasAlpha = true;
if(infoObject.videocodecid == 5)
this.hasAlpha = true;
this.bitmapData = new BitmapData(this.textureWidth, this.textureHeight, hasAlpha, 0xff000000);
this.video = new Video(this.width, this.height);
this.video.attachNetStream(ns);
this.video.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, processPixels);
// processPixel method:
BitmapData.draw(video);
GLAPI.instance.glBindTexture(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D,this.textureId);
var fmt:uint = GLAPI.GL_ARGB;
// converting pixels using copychannel or loop through pixels
GLAPI.instance.glBindTexture(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D,this.textureId);
GLAPI.instance.glTexImage2D(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, fmt, this.textureWidth, this.textureHeight, 0,fmt, GLAPI.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0, convBitmapData.getPixels(cliprect));

Issue with Youtube and Flash Player, videos don't play after a while

When I go to Youtube I can watch videos, but after I've player 5 or 6, when I select the next one, I get a snowy screen with a message "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback. Get the latest Flash Player". Issues is I already have the latest Flash Player, and it was playing fine just a minute ago. But from then on I cannot play more videos until I restart the computer. I'm tired of reinstalling Flash every day.
Win 7 64 bits, IE 9 and Firefox (happens with both)
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Apparently the browser at first recognizes that Flash is installed, but then it doesn't find it anymore. Not sure how that happens.

strangest thing... a few 'non-youtube' sites still work ok, but still complain 'no javascript' ..
so went to firefox (v17.0.4 ESR) 'tools, options, content' and yup, javascript UNTICKED!! :O :O my bad memory? something else??? {shrugs}
ticked it, now ok........ think im getting old?????? ROFL..

Why does my mac have issues with flash player videos

I was trying to watch a couple different videos last night for work and they wanted to use flash player.. however every time i tried to click on them to open them my macbook pro popped a message up saying that the flash player crashed that it would send a report to apple. how can i get pass this and fix it? i already tried downloading another flash player

Install Flash from here an try again
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Also download and run ALL the cleaning and maintenance aspects of the free OnyX and reboot.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
OnyX won't hurt anything, it will clean out all the cache and other files that might be corrupted and causing your problems, they will get rebuilt and your problem may disappear.
Also if there is something else wrong, OnyX's checkers may catch a larger issue which you tell us here so we can recommend further actions based upon that information.
Always backup your data to a external drive, cd/dvd's, (in addiiton to TimeMachine if your using that) so whatever happens at least that's safe.

After 1 year, I finally solved the Flash Player 100% CPU issue!

I created this guide to help people with this problem.
http://sgsoft.bravehost.com/flashcpuproblem.html
My problem was after watching/doing Flash videos or anything Flash related, my CPU would go up to 100% and whole computer slows down to a point I had to close my browse through Task Manager.
Both in Firefox and Internet Explorer. Searched all over the web and still couldn't find a solution.
It was my CPU heating issue causing this slowdown and sluggish performance of Flash.
Hope, it helps you guys.

You may wish to note that at least some of the problems on any Windows system after Windows XP could relate to the use of FlashPlayers protected mode.
Some users may wish to employ the most recent version of Flash Player that will work on their sytem. in which case it could be worth trying an up-to-date version of FlashPlayer but with protected mode disabled.
The setting is changeable by editing a file ( adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file) and instructions may be found in these articles

Adobe Flash Player video not streaming correctly (since 10/14/11)

Hello!
I'm a full-time, daily user of Flash Player as I got rid of my TV and started depending on websites to watch live TV streaming, full episodes or videos. I've never had any issues with FP working properly until about midnight, FP video streaming is pausing/buffering every 2-3 seconds. I have already spent hours making sure my notebook (which is 3 weeks old) did not have any software updates, pc performance issues, and also ran full scans for any possible viruses through McAfee and Windows Defender which completed sucessfully. Additional maintenance including uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe FP 11, made sure all browser ad-ons were disabled, disabled automatic software to run at start-up, checked for any "failed" updates in history and fixed (1) failed update in Windows, deleted browsing history and cookies, uninstalled any unimportant software such as Bing, checked memory usage, troubleshoot issues in control panel and disabled display hardware acceleration in adoble FP settings per instructions read in online support. I do pay for IT Service through my ISP which was my last attempt to fix this issue, however, I was hoping to get any advise from you first because I did see that there is a note in your website that Adobe is performing maintenance updates at this time, and I'm hoping this might be the reason afterall. I appriciate your rapid responsse to any advise or help before I continue to diagnose any performance isses further with my IT. Thank you so much!!!!

Windows Defender is not an anti-virus program in the traditional sense, it simply sweeps the hard drive for a limited number of known malware and will not interfere with any other installed anti-virus software such as McAfee.
I seriously doubt that the anti-virus software has anything to do with these Flash Player problems at all, but regardless my advice would be to uninstall McAfee and download Microsoft Security Essentials direct from the Microsoft website - this is a full, free, anti-virus suite which also makes Windows Defender obsolete (it will probably remove Windows Defender for you automatically).
There seems to have been a lot of problems for a lot of people with Flash Player 11, if removing McAfee didn't solve your problem then I would advise uninstalling Flash Player 11 (there is a Flash Player uninstaller available on the Adobe website - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html) and going back to a previous Flash Player version to see if that cures your problem. I am in the process of doing the same thing myself as since updating to 11 my streaming video has been messed up, I can think of no other explanation than shoddy coding / testing in Flash Player 11. The Flash Player 10.3 installer is available here - http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#fp10.3 and here - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

Adding many flash instances. Performance issues?

I had a general question about adding many flash embeds on a
page. I have a page with 12 transparent, non-animating swf files,
ech showing a single static images and each roughly 20k in size.
But my concern is that on slower machines this might be taxing on
the CPU, cause memory issues, maybe page loading issues...?
Any thoughts on this or other concerns?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try this. Which browser (and version) are you using? My question was as much about the performance of Flash player in a 64 bit environment as it was about the video playback hardware performance. I'm sceptical of the shared video memory and throughput performance of the Intel-based 4500HD graphics package in my laptop. I'm worried that it might not be sufficient for full-screen flash video playback, or for large external displays, so I'm trying to explain the poor platback performance that I'm seeing, and hopefully show that it's not the fault of the video HW.
Which video HW do you have in your dell?
Thanks
