Flash player youtube problem

Ok guys, this one is a bit more complicated than it sounds. A while back I was using a older version of Fox, I think v 15.xxx and had flash player 11 or 12. When using youtube it looked great. But now I upgraded to the latest firefox and latest flash player. When I watch vids on youtube they look real blurry and pixelated until the 720 hd kicks in. And even then it doesn't look as good and with the older flash player. I checked and my nvidia card doesn't seem to have any effect on either program. Is this a legit problem and which flash player version should I switch back to??

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Thanks for the helpful posting. I came searching here for advice because I could not get my Flash Player 9 installation to succeed using the trouble-shooting information provided on the Adobe web site, and from experience I have come to know that my best resource in trouble-shooting is to seek the help of other Mac users.
In following your instructions I discovered that "Enable Flash" was not checked in my preferences, so that was definitely part of the problem. However, I still could not get Flash Player 9 to work, so after doing a Google search I found a posting on Version Tracker (under feedback at the bottom of this page: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11622 ) that provided the last little bit of instruction I needed to get Flash Player 9 to function properly.
Before attempting to install Flash Player 9 I had used Adobe's uninstaller to uninstall previous versions, as instructed on the Adobe website. However, AFTER repairing my disk permissions, I needed to restart the computer and run the uninstaller again. After uninstalling I restarted once more, ran the installer and, VOILA!, finally Flash Player 9 worked as it should.

Adobe Flash Player Settings Problem

Hi I'm having problems selecting things inside of "Adobe
Flash Player Settings."
When ever i right click on a flash instance, say a youtube
video and select settings, I get no response from box that appears
no matter where I click. Even when I click close I get no response.
I have a Mac Book Pro running os 10.4.11
I have the newest version of Flash Player 10
I have Java 5
I have tried this in both Firefox and Safari
When I created a new account on my computer and opened
youtube i was able to change settings inside of panel.
Any help would be wonderful I have googled and searched these
forums a million times looking for help and have found nothing
helpful

TWEAK DISCOVERED for Flash Player 10 to save local settings!!
I was digging around in:
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/fpupdatepl/
and I discovered:
Adobe Flash Player.pkg
If you Right Click (or Control + Click) the Package and then select 'Show Package Contents' this will open a new window.
Then navigate to:
Contents/Resources/
There you will find a file:
Adobe Flash Player.info
Open this file with text edit (or your app of choice)
On about the fourth line from the bottom look for:
OverwritePermissions NO
Change this to:
OverwritePermissions YES
A NOTE OF CAUTION
I have not fully tested this change, but did find that after I modified the local settings for the Flash Player, then restarted Safari that the settings remained the same.
Good Luck!

Safari 6.0.2 and adobe flash player update problem

I am having problems installing the current version of adobe flash player. Whenever I try and view a video from a site that requires it (eg. youtube, etc.), it says I need to update adobe flash player and sends me to a link to do so. I've installed flash player "successfully" several times, deinstalled it and reinstalled it, re-downloaded it, but I'm always getting the message to update flash player. Can anyone help with some suggestions to get this working corectly?
I am running osx 10.8.2 and safari 6.0.2.
Thanks very much. Ron

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Adobe flash + firefox + youtube, problem

Hi guys,
im having an annoying time with flasand youtube not playing in firefox...
as soon as i start the clp in the new youtube format, 2-5 seconds into the clip, it stops playing...no way to get it to stream anymore...
the annoyng things is that it doesnt work in internet explorer either, but it works in opera just fine!
i have tried reinstalling both firefox and adobe flash, but no change...youtube still doesnt play in firefox...
any ideas, help pls!
tnx

Hi, thanks for the screenshot. The Flash files for FF has the FlashUtil10a.exe and you need to right click on it and Remove or Delete that. This is a very old version of Flash Player and should have been removed when you used the Uninstaller.
As you can see you have the NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe which shows in your screen shot is the correct version of 10.0.45.2. So their is a conflict as the Control is using the old one.
The FlashPlayer Trust is also old, I see it once in a while, but it is not needed either. Those users that have Removed it have had no ill affect. However, if you prefer to leave it, and after we clean up the other Files and still you are having problems, you can go back in and remove it.
The usual Flash Files for Firefox are: Flash.xpt, NPSWF32.dll, NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe(current version), the install.log and the Uninstall_plug in.exe. Any other files are either old and conflict.
Now the last time I checked Mozilla/Firefox, they require that the DLM/getplus etc be used to Install. They are not needed to Install FP but Firefox requires it, so fine. However, the DLM/getplus/NOS, get_atlcom Class cause problems.
The DLM is a downloader and after downloading is supposed to disconnect, but many times do not. After you Remove/Delete that old Flash file mentioned above, we'll clean up the DLM, et al.
Thanks,

Flash Player Crashing Problem

Hello, I don't know whether this is right place to post this question here or not?

My problem is whenever I try to open any flash file in my browser, or when I try to watch any Youtube video, or watch any idiom video, then it says flash player plugin crashed. Initially I thought it just a problem with Mozilla, but I wonder to see, that there is nothing to display in Chrome or other browsers.

Flash player sound problem

Hello!
One day I just realized that my flash player has a problem. Flash contents dont have sound on my pc anymore.
I tried everything , everything to fix it , but without any success.(I read all the resolving tricks on the internet. )
Then I reinstalled my Windows XP , I installed drivers and chipsets.
The second thing that I did was the installing of Firefox, Opera, Chrome and the latest Flash player.
So there was a clear system only with drivers and Flash player and still doesnt have sound.
Not only in browsers, youtube, anywhere on web , but nor in swf or other flash files on my computer.
I have been tried a lot of advices , settings, registery conf , etc ., but still nothing.
Theres is no problem with soundcard because I have sounds on windows.
Please help me!
Thanks

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating system
Browser
Flash Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes these problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify this by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the menu.

Non-HTML5 video

Flash Player 10 Problem: Blank Screen

I just uploaded to flash player ten. I'm using Wndows Vista and Internet Explorer.
When on Youtube, half the time the video screen just loads a black, blank screen. If I refresh, SOMETIMES the video will then load properly. Using the "Watch this in a pop up window) seems to work, although the video quality appears degraded).
Curiously, when I get the blank, black window, any attempt to post comments bounces you to the login screen, even though I'm already logged in.
When on Hulu, I will sometimes get the emssage "I line in java script is causing this video to play slowly and may cause your computer to stop responding".
I've also had I.E. stop working and close abruptly. This "Black video window" screen is happening on other sites as well.
None of these problems were happening until I upgraded to flash player ten. Is there ANY sort of fix for this? I've heard that downgrading to flash player 9 doesn't neccessarily resolve the problem.
I've tried uninstalling, rebooting, and installing again. Still get the same problem.
As a side note; silverlight got dumped onto my computer during a windows upgrade. I removed it, and am hoping there isn't a connection. Registry issue?!?!

Correction; the hulu message was "A line in script (not Java, I believe) connected to adobe flash player is affecting playback and may cause your computer to become unresponsive".

Adobe flash player (youtube) issue with RDP

time of disconnection and morever video is stopped. Does anybody
has any idea about this issue?

See:How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
I have Flash Player 11 on my Mini (Mountain Lion 10.8.4) with Safari, Opera and Firefox, with no troubles.
BTW, there is so little "malware" for Macs, that unless you seriously try to find it and deliberately install it, it ain't happenin'...

Solution for flash player crashing problem

This fix works pretty well, as all the latest versions of flash crash continuously, on almost every video.
First, download these two items:
Flash player Uninstaller
1. Flash player Uninstaller - http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe
Flash 10.3.183.25
1. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
[Editors Note: I updated the link to point to the Flash Player archives page, instead of the non-Adobe site. Please, ALWAYS download Flash Player directly from Adobe to ensure you have a valid, authentic copy. Malware distributors often attempt to trick users into installing malicious files by naming them as legitimate software programs. Wherever possible, always download software from the author's site.]
Run the Uninstaller (with browsers closed).
Then run the new Installer. You should not have problems anymore.
This version also switches from full screen and back, smoothly (without freakin crashing).
So far, it is running smooth as a lamb. I have no idea what is wrong with the other versions of flash player, but it is annoying. Even the very latest version crashes.
I am back to enjoying videos again, hope you will be too. :-)

Here are 4 links. I hope these are right, never looked at this data before.

The freezes, crashes, green screen, etc occor basically on any video. for ex https://vimeo.com/50512991 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfulqRdDbsg
Basically if i am doing nothing and just let it play a freeze, crash, green screen, etc will occur sooner or later. But skipping through the video will also result in such behavior.
I have these GT220 drivers (306.23) installed already.
hardware acceleration is permanently off indeed.
Here's a list. But you know, i think i have ruled out the plugins and addons already because i also used flash on a fresh Firefox install and on a complete new profile without any plugins and addons installed.

Flash player installation problem on MAC

I have repeatedly tried to download and install Flash player v14 for my MacBook Pro and it constantly hangs at the "Retrieving Install" screen never moving past 0%. Then it times out and says the install has failed. I have also completely wiped old versions of Flash from my system (now NO Flash-enabled sites will work at all--even more frustrating).
Any clues to remedy? Thanks.

The new Adobe Flash 14 installer does not work when you have an automatic proxy set. I've installed many versions of Flash on Mac without problems, but the new v.14 installer would never even start the download. (Of course the installer dmg would download, but when I ran the installer app, the download of Flash would not start, seemingly hanging at "Retrieving Installation"). I tried the uninstaller, which worked great. Then I tried installing v.13, which also worked fine. But I only got v.14 to install after I ... went to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and de-selected Automatic Proxy Configuration. Be sure to make a note of your Automatic Proxy URL, because after installing Flash and going back to the network Preference, I saw that the Automatic Proxy Configuration field was blank. But when I re-entered my APC URL, and clicked to select APC, all was well and I had flash installed while still able to browse external web sites when behind my companies firewall.

After I download Adobe Flash Player, YouTube still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

I just got my MacBook, and I want to watch YouTube videos. I installed Adobe Flash Player, but when I go to the videos, YouTube says that I still need to install Adobe Flash Player. I have done this multiple times, and nothing has happened. Thanks.

Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and select your volume and then select Repair Permissions. Same directions are also in the OS Mac Help Menu.

Is there a fix for a Flash Player compatibility problem?.

My computer is a imac g4 1.25 Ghz 17 inch flat panel running OS X 10.4.11 and can no longer view anything on the internet that uses the newest version of flash player. I have tried to upgrade to that version but it won't work on my computer. When I try to download it I get this message "Devices with powerpc processors are no longer supported." Is there a fix for this?

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
It works for me.
