Flash player video streaming starts then freezes

I can't play videos in IE9 or Chrome without it freezeing during playback. It will load 30 -60 seconds of video then it stops. I have tried reloading and adjusting all settings. I have disabled my Virus Software and tried other steps but none of them work. I have a fast internet connection and downloads of other natures work very well. Only my flash player files are affected. I really don't know what to try next. I am not getting any error messages. Any suggestions?

It is affected by all adobe flash sites I have visited. Pilotonline.com; wavy.com; cox.net; youtube just to name a few. On the cox site it affected the internet speed test which is flash based. Starts fast the stops in the middle just like the videos.

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.

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.

Why does Adobe Flash Player keep crashing and then apparently uninstalling itself?

From System Preferences > Preference Pane click on FlashPlayer > Storage and see what you have selected for options.

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

Windows 7 64 bit: I just upgraded Firefox to 7.1 , I can't watch video on youtube, video freezes, then the browser freezes. I right click on the icon showing the page is open on the taskbar & click close then cancel, it starts then freezes again?

When I watch any video on youtube, every video first starts with short freezes then freezes the Firefox 7.1 Browser window. I have to right click on the icon that shows the browser is open on the taskbar at the bottom of windows and then click on close& cancel to get it to start working again. Also, on any site, I am having problems with links & functions that suddenly stop working, site connections being dropped frequently for no reason, my Modem is stable & internet shows connected. On facebook when I click a button(photos) it doesn't work, in Amazon I click on "submit" and the button stops functioning, in yahoo mail I can click on a button to "send" mail and it won't work. I can open them in IE9 or Chrome but not in Firefox. I have tried disabling all plugins.I also have tried disabling all but flash and still the problems persist. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF.

Command + R *should* take it to a recovery console. Command + Option + P + R resets the PRAM, but that doesn't sound like your fix.If all of your buttons are working fine on OSX side, I would ignore PRAM / NVRAM / SMC reset tricks, since these are tested as working fine.
I would say you should probably reinstall the drivers for bootcamp. I tried this with 5 in Windows 8 and it gives you an option to repair. The reason I say this is because the UI isn't showing up, which means that it's using another driver.
If this doesn't work, go into device manager and then roll back to your previous settings.
One more thing comes to mind. Do you ever use Parallels or VMWare to load your bootcamp partition? They have their own driver packages which can cause some unwanted behavior when using windows natively.
One last thing you can do is try to by-pass the GUI powerplan entirely. You can use the Powercfg command, which, as it happens, has instructions on how to forcefully set the brightness values. You probably won't be able to make it through these instructions since you will get an error at some point, but that will give us more diagnostic information.
Good luck!

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!

Videos start then freeze

Just re-installed fresh version of Vista ultimate to try and fix this problem. Whenever I click on a Movie or TV show to watch, it starts and freezes 6-8 secs into it. Itunes (not responding), but it seems the media is still playing but frozen. Any help is appreciated.

You're not alone. Many people have encountered problems with iTunes videos on Windows Vista when the videos are stored on SATA disks.
No solution yet, sorry. If you have any other type of storage devices available to you (IDE drives, networked storage, some people have even reported success with USB flash drives), putting the videos onto that other storage seems to work.

Where does Flash player cache streaming video on Chrome

Ive been streaming a video from BBC iplayer and trying to see where Flash player caches it. It
doesn't seem to be in the standard Chrome cache as with youtube videos
Can anyone advise?
Thanks

The data are in:
C:\Documents and Settings\{yourname}\Data aplikací\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\
where Data aplikací means something like application data or something like that in english.
I'm not sure if you can change that location. Maybe by hacking in registries.

Increase Flash Player Video cache

When playing flash videos the video will stop and then load
more, multiple times. I want to increase the initial size of the
cache before it starts downloading so I can watch a video to
completion without it stopping. Even after the video finishes when
I move the progress bar back to an all ready played section it will
reload that section and then freeze at points and load more.
I've set my browser temp files usage size to 1gig and the
local and global storage of the flash player to 10mb and it didn't
help. I cleaned out the temp files without any help. The machine
with the problem is running xp with ie 7 and a dsl connection. Is
there a connection type detect that is reporting a speed that is
faster than it really is or is there a place I can increase the
cache size?
Oh and I did uninstall the player and install the newest
version.

Hello,
I have the same problem for a very very .... long time.
Whenever I try to watch a video on youtube or google video
or sites like these, the video plays only for two seconds and then
picture freezes. On the other I always notice that the video loads
normally and completely 100%. I can even move to another part of
the video and then it just plays again for two seconds and freezes
again. I tried playing with the global and site memory setting that
flash player use to store content but I didn't manage to get over
this problem (even gave unlimited memory storage). The important
thing is that it happens on major sites that use flash technology
for video, like youtube, google video, netcafe.
I appreciate your support.

Flash player buffering / streaming problem

Hi experts, I have a strange Flash issue which relates to streaming and or buffering. I'm attempting to watch a MotoGP live stream, however the stream will play for anfew seconds, then stop for 5 minutes before starting again, then freezing...
I'm running windows 7 32bit and flash V11 and have tried chrome, ie and firefox and the connection is hard wired
My Internet connection is about 15mb and ping test has my connection classed as A
I have a Mac connected via wireless running chrome and the video can stream fine
I've opened task manager and viewed the network traffic and there is visible traffic during the initial buffer phase which is relatively level, however this soon drops to zero activity and the video stops
I've also tried this at a friends place with windows 7 and seen a typical buffer profile of network connectivity and there was a clear plateau of network traffic, something missing from this machine.
I've also tried reinstalling flash, my nvidia video card drivers and network drivers, increased the flash buffer and disabled hw acceleration, disables ms security essentials, firewall, dropbox, av, etc
Have I missed something I'm almost ready to reinstall!!!
Thanks in advance.
Screenshot when frozen - notice no buffering is taking place: http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr179/bigduke6_bucket/motogpstream.jpg
Screenshot when playing \ buffering @ 300kbps: http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr179/bigduke6_bucket/motogpstream300kBps.jpg
I guess my question is when the video freezes, why does the data download also freeze?

Some more info on this one. I've rebuilt the PC back up with Windows 7, SP1 & IE9 \ Google Chrome. The same symptoms still persist. Basically the stream will stop downloading after around 30 seconds.
I was able to install a debugging version of Flash from here:http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html and these are the errors which correspond to the freeze or stop of network traffic.
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndStop not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value. at MethodInfo-2492()]
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@115eaf39 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
Can someone please assist?

Flash player videos do not load properly about 80% of the time

Using 64 bit W7
Firefox 12, latest version of Chrome
latest version of FP as of yesterday (11.2.202.233)..reinstalled about 6 times trying to fix this in the past week.
Ever since I updated flash player about a week and a half ago (I dont know what version I was using before...the auto-updater told me to upgrade so I did ..big mistake I guess), every video site, every video has had issues loading unless I get extremely lucky. I usually have to refresh the videos about 4 or 5 times to get them to fully load. When they DO finally load they usually do so at a snail pace. Most of the time the videos will load 40-70% and then just freeze their buffer forever until I refresh a bunch. I know this is a flash issue because it happens on both FF and Chrome, and I switched to the HMTL5 trial on Youtube and have had ZERO issues with HMTL5 videos. Unforutnately, youtube is the only big website that seems to support HMTL5 right now so that's not a solution. And of course, the biggest factor in me knowing this is a flash issue is because it happened the very day I upgraded to this version.
Any help at all would be appreicaited...I've tried all the things listed on the FAQs such as disabling HMTL5, clearing cache, completely installation. deleting Flash's cache completey, ect ect....no changes at all.

Could do the following please.
Download the Flash player uninstaller first of all and save it somewhere you can find it again easily.
Download the Flash player installer next and save that to the same place.
Disable your antivirus scanners next. If you use AVAST, right click the orange icon in systray, go to "Avast Shields Control" and choose to disable all shields for one hour. If you're not using AVAST, consult this list for instructions on how to disable it: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html Particularly, if you're using AVG, open Firefox, press CTRL+SHIFT+A to open the Add-ons manager, go to the Extensions submenu and disable "AVG Linkscanner" and "AVG Safe Search". Both of these will interfere with the download process otherwise.
If Firefox is open, close it.
If you're running any apps which use Flash like AIM or any games, close them before proceeding with the next step.
Next, run the Flash uninstaller which will also remove the the program from Firefox and from Internet Explorer (but not from Chrome).
Next, run the Flash installer. This will only install Flash in Firefox. Do not open Firefox before you run it though.
Next, open Firefox, hit CTRL+SHIFT+A to open the Firefox Add-ons manager, go to the Plugins menu and confirm that Shockwave Flash 11.2.202.235 is visible.
Go to a site where you were unable to play videos before and see if these troubleshooting steps made any difference.
If everything works properly, open Internet Explorer, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP and download Flash for IE. Uncheck the optional McAfee installer because you don't want that. When you see the option to Run, or Save, choose "Run" to install it immediately.
As regards Google Chrome, the Flash player is intergrated in the browser and updates automatically in the background. You cannot update it manually. If Chrome continues to exhibit problems, consult this page for possible solutions: Google Chrome Issues
AVAST will re-enable itself automatically after an hour, but you may need to re-enable other AV apps manually.
