Flash Video problem on one particular website.

I am trying to play Progressive Download video on a website.
I do this
at least 20 times a month .. no issues. This one site will
not show up and
I have redone the page approx. 20 times with no results in
any browser.
The page is in my root .. the FLV is in a folder called video
.. the script
is in the Scripts folder. The ProgressiveFLV and skin swfs
are in the main
folder.
I use an identical configuration on other sites on the same
server with no
problem. It tests perfectly in localhost. But nothing shows
up on the
server.
and YES .. I DID FTP the scripts folder. I solve this problem
for people
every day of the week .. but I can't get this site to work.
Any thoughts?

On the last attempt, it actually crashed Firefox .. anyone
know what is
going on here?
Thanks!

Problems with one particular website in Safari on iPhone

Forgive my ignorance; I am fairly clueless when it comes to technical issues.
I am having trouble using one particular website from my iPhone. On this one particular website, only the text of the site is rendering in Safari. The navigation, images, and headers of the site are completely missing.
I've tried to access the website in Safari from my coworker's Mac and it's fine. I can also access it with no problems on any other computers or browsers that I've tried. Every other site works fine on the iPhone except for this one particular website.
I made sure that my iPhone software was the latest version, and I reset the phone just to make sure, but that one website still isn't working. I contacted the webmaster who says he sees no problem on their end.
Any ideas what could be going wrong?

No, the site isn't Flash-based; it's a site I've visited on the phone dozens of times. This problem only started occurring a few days ago.
I'm embarrassed to admit that the site is Popsugar.com, a celeb gossip site that I visit whenever I'm bored.

When I browse one particular website, the website displays very small on the screen - is there a setting to fix this?

The browser for this one particular website displays the site at 70% of the normal size of what it should be.
Every other website we browse displays at a normal size.
This website displays at a normal size when we use explorer so it must be something to do with the browser setting?

Network problem with one particular iMac in a home network

I want to report a problem involving one particular iMac (2008 Al 24").
On my home network (Apple Airport Extreme and Express extensions, about five Macs and couple of iDevices), all other Macs can see and connect to each other as well as printing to the networked Brother printer without problem.
However, on one particular iMac, I can see all other Macs, can set Brother printer as default with green dot next to it in Print Preference Pane, but I can not connect to other macs, nor print to the printer. Meanwhile, the iMac can get on the internet without any problem. I checked Share Preference Pane and all settings are same as other macs.
The iMac used to work flawlessly until recently, and I first noticed the problem because I could not print, getting a message the printer can not be found (and the dots turn yellow for a while then went back to normal green). Then, I found neither the iMac, nor other macs on the network can connect to each other, even though I can see all of them in Finder.
I opened Apple Remote Network on my own mac, and I can see and connect all other shared macs, but this iMac's status showed not online, even though the IP adress is valid. As a results, no other macs can connect to the iMac, either. It seems to be a problem with the intranet only, not internet.
One more thing, about a month ago, the iMac popped out a warning about network name, saying the old name was in use (conflict) in the network, so I have to change it in Share Pane. Not sure if this is related to the intranet problem.
Reboot and repaired permission several times, no change. Hate to reinstall everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Another update:
For unknown reason, my iMac was suddenly back onto the home "intranet". It can be accessed by my MacBook Air through Finder Connect, and can also be seen by Apple Remote Desktop.
However, printing is still a problem while other macs have no problem printing to the same printer. Whenever I send a print task, either Word document, or other programs such as GraphicConverter image, the iMac tried to connect to the default printer, but failed, and wanted to try again in 30 seconds 9and continued to fail). Meanwhile, the green dot next to the printer selection turned to yellow in Preference Pane. But as soon as I cancel the print job, the printer status went back to normal green.
The printer is a Brother color laser HL-4070CDW, connected through wireless (g only), with it own DHCP but specific IP address. I printed out a setting for the printer and all looks normal, and all other macs can print to it without problem. Other macs can also get access to the printer profile, and check inks copy counts, etc, but the iMac cannot.
Only thing changed since last post was a new update for Apple Airport firmware (to 7.5.2 I think). So my problem is still half solved: can connect to other macs on the same network, but still not be able to print.

Flash Video problem on Adobe Connect 9

Hi Folks
having an issue I am hoping to get some light shed on - I am downloading content from an Adobe Connect 8 server and uploading to Adobe Connect 9 server in a seperate domain. All has been working fine except for Flash Videos - anytime I upload a flash video (FLV) format and attemt to access it eitehr directly on the server or remotly get a grey screen. Is there any particular add ons required to enable flash video to work with Adobe Connect 9 , using Flash 10, OS is Windows 2008 R2
thanks in advance

Have a flash player problem when visiting my website

I'm sorry, I did not know where to ask this question, so I tried my luck here. Anyhow, me and my fiance own this website about prom dresses where we find some dresses around the web and write reviews about them. But some of our friends told us we have some kind of weird flash problem on our webpage. Perhaps, some of you more knowledgable guys can take a look and see if they are right? I've tried visiting my website from a number of computers and mobile phones, but never encountered any kind of problem. But I'm not very into technology and would like you advice very much.
Here is the website in question: [sketchy link removed] and here is the web page they have said they had flash player issues: [sketchy link removed]
Thanks,

Unfortunately, technical forums are popular targets for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watering_Hole attacks, and I'm not going to risk it to go debug your website for you. I wish that we lived in a world where we could keep our doors unlocked, but there you go.
There's excellent documentation available for how to embed Flash content on your website, and we really recommend that you use SwfObject (below):

A cursory Google search for "embedding Flash" should turn up a number of tutorials that will help you out.

Create Flash Video to Stream on my Website....

I believe I ought to be able to render a flash video from my Adobe Premiere CS3 or After Effects CS3 and then stream it on my website. Problem is that's as far as it gets. I haven't had any luck actually doing it. Anybody have any ideas?

Yeah, it's frustrating. I guess the YouTube and Vimeo people have been doing this for a while and they're pretty good at it!!
I gave up trying to get as good quality from Flash renders, now I just embed everything from Vimeo.
I did do a series of tests last year on YouTube to try to find the "sweet spot" of bitrate. I put up about 6 HD videos of varying CBR. There was a cutoff where any further increas in bitrate made no improvement.
You could do a similar test if you like and try to find that "sweet spot"?

Flash video playback crashes one of my displays (flickering lines)

I am using a dual display setup. When I play back a Flash video in Firefox 18 one of my screens shows flickering lines and can only be reset by shutting down and restarting Windows.
If I move the Firefox window to the other screen and start playback the main screen still crashes but I can see the video itself playing fine on screen 2. So the Flash plugin didn't crash.
But it seems as if it had changed resolution and/or refresh rate to some strange value. So the picture of how the screen looks after the video playback began.
Picture: http://www.abload.de/img/distorted_by_flashbful7.png
I did no recent changes to the graphics drivers but the problem started about 1-2 weeks ago.

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Flash video not uploaded to my website

Hello
I am very new at this and i am actually learning via videos tutorials. I developed a website in flash cs3. The website was uploaded but the flash video and an external swf file is not visible on the site. These flash videos are however visible when i test the movie in flash. I uploaded into server the an html index page, the swf files to the server. My website is www.foxwildlife.com. Please help.

The most common problem with Flash working when testing but not from the server is that the pathing to some of the Flash assets (videos, xml files, etc.) is that the path to those assets is wrong, being set relative to the .swf and not the Web page, as it should be.
The second most common problem is that some of the files just were not uploaded. For example, you need to upload all the .flv video files, not just the .swf that plays them.
For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

One particular website on infinite loop

Hey guys.
My mac has been giving loads of trouble in the network department recently, and this is one of them.
I used to be able to access a particular website with no problem, and suddenly I can't anymore - it seems to go on an infinite loop and the URL changes on its own. It turns into this:
www.ns.sg/nsp/web/home?_afrLoop=32790536242083&_afrWindowsMode=0&afrWindowId=nul l
and the "32790536242083" part keeps changing on its own, in a 'The Matrix' kind of manner. It never ends.
The situation:
- The site is http://ns.sg .
- It only happens on my mac, no matter what connection I'm using. Tethering on my iphone, other wireless networks, they all don't work.
- Other computers, be it windows or mac, load it fine on any connection.
- It only started happening after the site went through some 'renovation'. It's not my site though, so I have no idea.
- I'm using the very first aluminium 13", back when it was still called the MacBook - but I don't think this really matters.
- I'm on OSX 10.6.8, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
- No firewalls in place.
- Does not work on Safari, Chrome, or a newly downloaded Opera. It's probably not a browser issue.
- Pinging the site from my computer puts me in an infinite request timeout. As in:
PING ns.sg (202.6.163.65): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
Request timeout for icmp_seq 3
Request timeout for icmp_seq 4
.... and it never ends. Now it's still running and I'm at
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1225
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1226 and counting.
What I've tried:
- Deleting the SystemConfiguration folder. Didn't work.
- Clearing the cache. Didn't work.
- Using Onyx to fix up the internet and clearing the cache. Didn't work.
- Using a proxy website. Didn't work.
- Changing my IP address. Didn't work.
- Using OpenDNS. Didn't work.
I'm guessing this is something to do with my laptop, and not the router nor the host. I'm putting up content on the site for work and it really doesn't make sense to have to find a different computer to do so whenever I need to! PLEASE HELP ME, SOMEBODY. I'm on the verge of reformatting the computer just so I can see if THAT works.
Let me know if I need to put anymore specs up! I'm usually just googling for answers, but now I've been driven to post something. This is a big bad.

'''Change Firefox to use the encoding Unicode (UTF16)
It apparently has a lot of odd characters within it, presumably an unexpected coding.
I tried the text as displayed in firefox (NOT the page source) cut out the first two characters and pasted the remainder into a html file and it opened ok in firefox.
I then changed to Unicode (UTF16) and the original webpage then loads and displays ok.
* Menubar -> View -> Encoding -> () Unicode (UTF16)

Firefox (or any browser) will not load one particular website. It shows NO error message, just remains blank

I have the site bookmarked and I try through google as well. Neither Safari or Opera will load this particular website for me. I had this problem in an internet cafe this summer but when i got home it seemed to go away, now it's back. No matter which way I try I cannot get it to open this website. i am using a Macbook pro. I'd rather not have to use an open DNS or google DNS just to open the site i just want it to work like it did before. Any ideas, please?

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can remove all stored data from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions from that domain, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.<br />
You can't recover from that "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Adobe flash video problem

For the last couple of weeks i have run into a problem with both U-Tube videaos and yahoo vodeos.
In the middle of the videao a pop-up comes on from either of two entities s.ytimg and d.yimg.
There is a lot of dialogue about this (per google search) but I still don't know if it a virus/malware, or an intrusive adverising site.
Adobe has very vague info on this (they disclaim having anything to do with it) but to me it is unreasonable for U-tube (google) or yahoo to actuallyendorse this .
I never click allow, but the thing is insistant and does not go away.
Any help?

Thanks for the added information, but that doesn't alter the fact that Firefox is seriously crippled -- that is to say, useless -- as a medium for web video.
I don't know whether the assertion that Flash 11.3 is "buggy" and it is Adobe's fault is more true, than to say that Firefox 20+ is "buggy" with regard to Flash 11.3.
It seems both developer teams are pointing in the other direction to claim "It's their fault, not ours" and using that as an excuse not to fix the problem.
Since it is unlikely that the complaints of Firefox users is going to move Adobe to "fix" Flash, it seems to me much clearer that it is the obligation of Mozilla to fix Firefox so that it works with Flash.
Again, this problem has gone on for sufficient years, anyone would conclude that Mozilla should have fixed it by now.
What is even more annoying, is the way that Mozilla representatives who should know better, send people who report this problem and quite reasonably ask for a solution, off on 15 dozen different kinds of fools' errands for "solutions" that don't address the problem that anyone with any experience realizes is a basic conflict between Flash 11 and any FF version much beyond 18 or so.
There needs to be a consolidation of all the many different threads addressing this problem with a top-level advisory that all the proffered sub-fixes (blaming this or that setting or plug-in) is really NOT going to solve the fundamental Flash-Firefox video incompatibility.
We FF users are left with the unacceptable choice of abandoning access to Flash videos if we want to continue using FF for all its other capabilities and special features -- or we have to constantly be uninstalling Flash 11, installing Flash 10, watch our videos, then uninstall Flash 10 and reinstall Flash 11 to do anything else.
This is ridiculous.
When is Mozilla going to acknowledge and fix this problem?

Flash video problems in http

Hello,
I am having problems publishing flash video in a http server.
I am streamming video from a server using a MediaPlayBack
component. All works well till this point. When insert the swf in a
html file and play it using the "http path" (
http://..../dilo.htm), the swf
doesn´t play the video. Altought .swf and .flv files are in
the same directory. But if open de html file using the IP path
(10.12.134.../dilo.htm), it works.
Can anybody tell me why is this happening? Any solution?
Thanks

6-15-2012 upgrade and browser flash video problems.

The 6-15-2012 upgrade for flash player v. 11.3.300.257 causes flash videos not to load in the firefox browser.
What can I do to remedy this situation besides rolling back to a previous version or disabling protected mode
permanently?
Flash content does not appear at all in my browser (firefox v. 5.0), and I do not have realplayer installed.
There is no crashing, error message, flash video content does not even appear. Changing browser settings and
preferences or disabling addons does nothing. This problem has never occured before the 6-15-2012 update.
The operating system is W7 64 bit.
Troubleshooting methods outlined on page http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#4468493 do not work.

"Finally, if these problems are blocking you from using Flash Player we recommend, as a last resort, you either
revert back to Flash Player 11.2 or temporarily disable Protected Mode. We strongly recommend that
Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved." If I cannot resolve this issue then I
cannot manually re-enable protected mode. Again, is there any solution that does not involve rolling back to
an earlier version or disabling any sort of protection?

RE: "We strongly recommend that
Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved."
If I cannot resolve this issue then I cannot manually re-enable protected mode.
What they mean is when Adobe resolves this issue. So far, there's nothing the user can do if the protected mode is what is causing the problems.
If you look over the dozens and dozes of posts about this, you'll see that some progress has been made. The bug causing Firefox's "silent crashes" or crashes upon close-out has been duplicated, and according to some sources, has been "resolved," but so far, no patches or formal announcements have been made.
Since there seems to be a host of problems associated with Flash Player 11.3.300.257--conflicts with Real Player; constant crashes; excessive memory/CPU usage, etc.-- I'd imagine that Adobe will try to (hopefully) fix as many as possible in the next version.
In the meantime, we'll all have to wait it out using the earlier version or the new version that we--ourselves--have had to hack to disable "protected mode." Not knowing how vulnerable Flash Player is without the Protected Mode, I'm staying away from sites with Flash Content as much as possible. Unfortunately, since most of my browsing involves business related activities, and since many, many business related sites have some Flash content, this can be a challenge.
