Flash videos won't work on Linux Mint 16

Hi! I have an issue. I'm using Mint 16 and Firefox 28. Mathworks' instructions videos won't play saying "Unable to connect to server. Please try using a different browser or try again later. Click here to learn more. Error Code: VE_FMS_CONNECT_FAILED".
Their troubleshooting information did not quite help. Any suggestions? Video does work in Google Chrome.

Try disable the hardware acceleration:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did you try start Firefox in Safe Mode?

  • My flash video won't work on my Dreamweaver site!

    Can someone please tell me what else I'm forgetting to do in Dreamweaver (or maybe the issue lies in the uploading process) to make my video play on my website? I uploaded the video the server file along the skin file and another "SWF" file and the files that are in the "scripts" folder. This is my first time to ever upload a video to a site, so I'm learning as I go.
    Here is the url: www.smithreadymix.net/concreteinfo.html
    As you can see, when the page uploads with an error icon in the bottom left corner where it would normally say, "Done but with errors on page." I clicked on the details button of the message and it says, "swfobject is undefined" then it gives the location as Line 184, character 1. I have NO idea what this means!
    If anyone could help, I'd REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

    Thanks, guys. I double checked the files I already had on the server and here is what I found:
    expressinstall.swf
    concretemythsvideo.flv
    flvplayer_progressive.swf
    halo_skin_3.swf
    swfobject_modifed.js
    Is there something here I don't need? Thanks again for your help!

  • Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

    I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

    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.

    I'm sorry. I was hoping it would work for you. I have to delete it about
    once a day and reinstall it. It is really getting on my nerves. You are
    talking about deleting and reinstalling right? Sorry I'm not in the forum

  • Flash player won't work after a successful download

    About my Mac:
    OS X version 10.8.4
    1.3 GHz
    Safari: version 6.0.5
    I have installed and unistalled flash player several times, and even restarted my computer. I followed all the steps to do so correctly, but the Flash Player won't work at all. Youtube and other websites give me error messages when I try to watch a video. They say "missing plug-in".
    I really can't seem to find the problem.

  • Mbp 13"facebook video won't work

    mbp 13"facebook video won't work. The window comes up but it won't let me allow it, it does nothing. Do I need a add in flash player or something?

    well, thanks for suggestions ... but problem persists.
    When starting ff in safe mode, some times i have video and sometimes i don't.
    It is just like starting ff in ordinary mode - sometimes there is a problem with video and sometimes not.
    However, the video problem occurs more times than when it goes ok.
    I unticked the hardware acceleration box but it made no difference.
    Also I have played around with all the add -ons and (only 4) extensions ,disabling and enabling them, to no effect.
    The odd thing is that this video problem is not always consistent
    - sometimes it occurs and sometimes it doesn't..
    I have webroot anti-virus and it tells me that my laptop is clean.
    There is no Video problem in chrome and IE.
    .....A few times in the past, this problem occurred but things came right by themselves.
    I have been a fan of ff for many years.

  • Embedded Flash videos don't work

    Since updating Firefox to 36, embedded Flash videos don't work. HTML5 and Flash videos on YouTube work fine. I have Click-To-Play enabled (disabling it didn't help too), but instead of a grey area with the message I just see a black area where the video is supposed to be. Does anyone else have this problem?

  • Flash videos don't work with PepperFlash disabled (but with system plugin enabled) on Chrome!

    Hello everyone,
    Basically, Google Chrome lags a lot when I use PepperFlash and so I have heard that disabling it and using the system flash will have better performance. I have done this but when I disable PepperFlash, the flash videos don't work as it says flash player has crashed. Also, I would like to resolve the lag and bad performance with flash videos on chrome because the video playback on Internet Explorer is a lot better than Chrome(Never thought I would have to say that) atm. A possible solution might be to install 32-Bit Chrome instead
    Summary:
    Flash videos lag(most likely due to PepperFlash being used according to other people)
    When PepperFlash is disabled, the system flash plugin does not work in chrome as it apparently crashes every time.
    I would like help on how to resolve the bad performance and be able to use the system flash plugin to have no lag on videos and livestreams.
    Thanks,
    Talha
    Google Chrome 64-Bit
    Windows 8.1 64-Bit

  • Flash player won't work or download. It says it no longer supports power pcs. I am running 10.5.8 on my ibook G4. Seem to have tried everything. i.e. chrome, firebird, archived flash players, etc. All not supported. Any insight???

    Flash player won't work or download. It says it no longer supports power pcs. I am running 10.5.8 on my ibook G4. Seem to have tried everything. i.e. chrome, firebird, archived flash players, etc. All not supported. Any insight??? It started when I tried to upgrade current flash player and it said I needed to uninstall current version, which I did, and then it wouldn't download the current one giving me the not supported story! Please help!!!!!!

    Hi Andy, that is correct, they don't support PPC Macs anymore.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

    Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
    Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!

  • Not all flash videos on websites work

    Hi guys,
    First off all, I'm really excited because I made the switch to Apple and Leopard. Yay! But I have one issue I can't figure out.
    Not all flash videos on websites work, for example: www.x17online.com
    Sometimes it's a blank square and sometimes I see an image but I can't play the video. I have flash installed so what's wrong?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Got a mbpro 2.4 multi touch, 2gb 250gb safari 3.1.x
    Video glitches in flash in safari [not in ffox 2.x] !

  • Flash video has not worked with Firefox browser for years. When will you fix this?

    Anyone who uses Firefox browser (for Windows or for Mac) knows that flash video playback ceased working sometime around Firefox ver 13 and has not worked since.
    The Mozilla people say it is Adobe's fault - instead of fixing Firefox.
    They say roll back to Adobe Flash version 10.
    This solves the video problem, but then, any other services that depend on the latest Flash build, quit working properly.
    This situation leaves millions of Firefox users in perpetual frustration. We can't use our browser of choice to view any web video built with Flash.
    This is so unacceptable. I am unable to understand why Adobe and Firefox don't get together and iron out whatever code incompatibility is causing this.
    I would really like to hear Adobe's explanation for this.

    Uh... I don't know what planet you posted this from, but Flash video has worked flawlessly with Firefox for hundreds of millions of users here on earth, without any gaps since Firefox was still called Mozilla.
    For the record, I have Firefox 28 with Flash Player 13 installed on:
    WIndows XP (SP3-64bit)
    Windows Vista Ultimate (SP2-64bit)
    Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1-64bit)
    Windows 8 Enterprise (64bit-2 machines) 
    Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64 bit)
    OS 0.6.8 Server
    OS10.7.5
    OS10.8.5 
    OS10.9.2
    And I've had Firefox with Flash Player since 2003 on both OS formats. I've never had a compatibility problem.
    I also use Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari and a few other browsers you probably never heard of (like SeaMonkey, Maxthon, Waterfox, iCab, OmniWeb)... Flash works in all of them.
    I'd have to say the problem is with your system specifically, because if it was a Firefox/Flash compatibility problem, there would have been hundreds of millions of complaints about it, for over a decade. That... just isn't the case.

  • Embedded video won't work on windows machine....

    A friend has asked me to post video on a webpage so I initially put the m4v video on a "movie" page in iweb, published the video. While it plays fine on my mac, it won't work when accessed via a pc. So my next thought was to publish the video to Blip Tv and then embed the code for the flash converted video into iweb. I did this using the insert html snippet function in iWeb. Again, it works fine from my mac but won't load when using a pc. Here's an example:
    http://web.me.com/dgmeyer/LAX/TEST_MOVIE.html
    Any idea why this isn't working??? THanks.

    I did the flash video version using Blip TV which I guess is similar to you tube. Once completed, the site offers the code needed to embed the video into a website-- which is what I did and initially, the video wouldn't play in the Internet Explorer environment. Once I downloaded the latest flash player, it worked however it would be nice if there was a way to include the code for the appropriate flash player with the video -- is that possible? Can you self host flash video on a .mac/me account? Thanks for your help.

  • Now that I have installed OSX Lion, my flash player won't work.

    After I installed OSX Lion a few days ago my flash player suddenly stopped working. It won't let me update (it says I have the newest version) and when say, I try to watch a YouTube video a little box comes up over the player with settings and the "allow" button but no matter if I use the trackpad or the keyboard I can't select anything.
    It's getting really annoying because I can't play games, watch videos or video share online anymore and I have no idea how to fix it.
    Is it just something that will be stuck until Adobe releases a version that isn't beta for OSX 10.7?

    This allows me to watch videos which is great but still when I try to play any flash games or enable a webcam on something other than iChat, Skype or Photobooth the dialog box comes up and even using tab and space bar like Adobe suggests doesn't seem to work. :-/
    Glad to be able to watch videos again though
