Flash videos keep buffering

I've noticed that since I upgrade to Safari 4.0.5 flash videos on Youtube and Facebook take a long time to load and even then they often stop playing to buffer.
I know that it doesn't have anything to do with my broadband connection because the same videos play fine with Firefox...any suggestions

HI,
Try uninstalling then reinstalling a new copy of the Flash plugin.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Then Repair Disk Permissions ...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*

Video keeps buffering

Hi I am absolutely going out of my mind and I am hoping someone can assist. I am a frequent visitor to "The Food Network" site and I watch the videos daily. In the last few days the video keeps buffering and is stuck in that mode. I have downloaded adobe flash and shockwave as they suggested from their FAQ section but it still is stuck and continues to say buffering. I really would appreciate any assistance. I am definitely a beginner on MAC and really have limited knowledge in any area.

I also am having this problem. It's driving me crazy as I love watching the video's. I e-mailed through the Food Network help team today to see if they could provide any info. I also had another friend try from her mac. Same problem.
Soooo frustating!!

Why does all videos keep buffering and not play

Why do videos keep buffering and play when I select them?

I am in Florida, and have a comcast business account and get download speeds of 22mbps (as tested).
The Apple tv is hooked directly into the modem with ethernet.
We have tried about 6 different routers with apple TV and none of them make the Apple Tv perform without stuttering and buffering. So we decided to use direct hook up.
I have called Apple repetitively because when trying to watch a trailer/preview, the preview stops and the buffering starts.
This will also happen when watching movies.
Lowering TV resolution to 600x480 does not help either.
Apple fail to tell me where their Itunes servers are located, so it's impossible to do a traceroute to see if there's a problem on the way.
Desperate with this situation I opened a DSL account with Centurylink :same problem!!
It seems that Apple should fix their Apple TV product before placing a product on the market that does not perform as stated.
We took this a step further, and purchased a few Apple Tv's which we are setting up with different Internet providers to see what the results are.
You may think I have nothing better to do, but I'm building a case against Apple and shall get to the bottom of this. There are no excuses for placing faulty products on the market.

Why does my video keep buffering?

I am trying to watch a video on PBS.org with my MacBook Pro but am unable to because it keeps buffering. What's odd is, I am able to watch the same video on on the same website with my iPhone 4 with no problem. Why is this? Both the phone and the computer are connected via the same wifi network and both have strong signals. To my knowledge, everything on the computer (software, adobe flash) are up to date. This is a MacBook Pro I got a week ago. What is the problem, and how do I fix it?
Thank you to all who respond

You have a slow Internet connection.

W520 will not play flash videos unless buffered in all browsers (youtube works...)

I just bought my W520 referbished and I cannot watch flash videos unless they are fully buffered. Several places suggests it has something to do with F-secure which does not appeared to be installed. It also only effects certian players - not all. I tried it on a verity of websites and have found that JWPlayer is one of them. Youtube works fine. I have tried reinstalling Flash - I have updated all of my browsers (IE, Firefox [default], and Chrome). Could this be a hardware problem? Something to do with Optimus?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ajipaul,
Can you share the links for both of the videos which work and does not work fine?
We tried our W520 streamming 1080p video from youtube and they work fine. Not sure if we got your issues right.

Streaming video keep buffering after enabling SSL connection

Hi,
I am running Adobe Connect Pro 7 /w SP2. I started having this video streaming problem (buffering on the status bar) in my presentations after I enabled the SSL connection on the server. I tried different video format and it didn't seem to make any difference. Other content types are playing properly.
Does anyone has similar problem as mine?
Thanks

Hi, thanks. I wouldn't think that you would need to update your graphic and video drivers with Win7 but that is recommended as well as turning off the h.a.
Sometimes an add on in the browser, especially if it is the same in all browsers may be the issue. The Anti-Virus program would be the first I would check since most all Install add ons into the browsers.
What Anti-Virus do you use? Is it the same on the XP or different?
Thanks,
eidnolb

Cant Make Flash Video Stop Playing

I am using an HTMLLoader to display a web page in a
NativeWindow. The web page I am displaying has an embedded flash
video that plays in it. That all works fine. The problem I have is
that when they close the window, the flash video keeps playing. The
only way to stop it is to close the entire app.
Is there a way to somehow make the HTMLLoader stop playing
the content?

I figured it out. I found a reply that fixed this problem for
someone with a SWFLoader and it works for the HTMLLoader.
Here is the answer if you need it, where html is the name of
the HTMLLoader.
html.load(null);
html.reload();

Flash Player keeps pausing and buffering

I've never really had this problem before but today whenever I've tried to watch flash videos, it keeps pausing and buffering every few seconds. This seems to be a problem for me on any website except YouTube (YouTube still works fine). I've tried disabling hardware acceleration but that made no difference. I have a high speed cable modem so I don't see how it could have anything to do with my connection speed.
My operating system is Mac OS 10.5.8. My web browser is Firefox version 3.6.13, I also tried using Safari and was experiencing the same problem. The flash player version I'm using is MAC 10,2,152,26. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks a million.

o disable Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
ProtectedMode=0
If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one using any standard text editor (e.g.. notepad)
Depending on your operating system, you might need to first save the mms.cfg file to a writable location (such as your documents or desktop folder) and then copy the file into the destination folder using Windows Explorer.
To re-enable Protected Mode, simply remove the line from the mms.cfg file.

How do I keep browser from re-sizing (zooming) flash video?

Hi,
Some browsers (Opera, Explorer, Firefox 3) can zoom entire
pages, including text, images, and video. My flash videos have text
that degrades (pixelates) badly under these circumstances. How can
I embed a flash video in DW CS3 to keep the video dimensions from
expanding?
Thanks in advance!
Here's my embed code:

Hi I have done some more digging and found this:
1) In the bottom left corner of FCPX, click the film reel so that you can see all your projects:
2) Select the project you are having problems with and then in the inspector window, click on the spanner icon in the lower right side:
3) Finally a window appears so that you can choose the settings for the video you are using:
Hope that helps

Buffering Problem with Flash Videos

We are having problems with the buffering of newly published FLASH videos (rendered using Premiere/Flash CS6 and using Windows 8 and explorer/firefox/chorme). Non-Flash Videos appear to buffer fine.
An example of this problem can be seen at http://healthwatchusa.org/HWUSA-Presentations-Testimony/20130215-KY-House/20130214-kavanag h.htm

1.Default of bufferTime is 0.1 seconds. Try to set the value higher and see if that solves your problem.
2.If you set your component to autoplay, you could get rid of it and start the player if the VideoEvent.READY is fired
3.If you have any code inside your swf that tries to communicate with other domains you should set the "allowScriptAccess" value inside your html container from "sameDomain" to "always"

Flash player plays when video fully buffered

Hello there, I'm having problems with the flash player on firefox. Every flash video that I want to watch only plays after it's fully buffered, it won't even show the buffering bar at all. On IE and Chrome it works fine.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Good morning.
Apple no longer includes Flash with the new Macs. So, if you run into things that require Flash you must, if you want to view them, go to the Adobe site and download the Flashplayer as Paul_31 suggested.
Enjoy your day.

P.S. "scoobidiver" in the contributors forum just posted the following:
Since Firefox 9, all issues with slow Flash content or hangs in the French support forum have been caused by the Ask toolbar although users have uninstalled it with the Windows Removing Program feature. Sometimes, they don't even know it was installed.
