Flashplayer does not play, what am i missing

web video sites prompt to download most upgrade to flash player. uninstalled and reinstalled 10.1.53.69. i still get prompted to download most recent version.
using firefox 3.6.11, windows vista home premium Service pack 2, 34 bit system, amd 64 dual core processor 6000+ @ 3.0 ghz. logged in as administrator. C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash contains:
flashplayer.xpt
flashutil10k_plugin
install
npswf32.dll
flashinstall

That was the reason that the newest version could not be installed. (But the installer should have given you a message.)

Missing file -- can't find -- see it but does not play -- what went wrong?

I was working on a 2 hour long podcast using 1 track - female voice. When I opened the file, the 1st hour does not play. Get a message saying "missing file." I searched for the file on all disks in all folders -- not there. But you can see the recorded track -- it just says it's missing. The 2nd hour is fine. I have no idea what could have gone wrong. That's a lot of lost work. Any ideas? Thanks.

trying to figure out a recipe for a problem is really good, so congrats on taking the extra step (i wish more people would list their steps, it would make diagnosing problems a lot easier)! unfortunately, no, that should not have caused a problem, it SHOULD have worked as you expected. changing settings, or moving regions between tracks should not cause a problem.
stopped and changed to plain Female voice to be consistent with my other podcasts.
just for future reference, you don't need to worry about that:

Devices/Printers tile does not appear, what am I missing??

This is a Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Host environment.
Devices and Printers tile created and placed underneath 'Desktop'
Configured a custom Start menu using the XML file method and setting its location in Group Policy, I can see 'Devices and Printers' in the XML file.
Set polcies to allow access to Control Panel and to show ONLY Devices and Printers.
Did gpupdate /force on the DC and on the RDS host wherein I'm testing, logged in as a test user.
The D and P tile is still not showing on Start screen nor does it show in Apps list...
D and P can be found with Search but that is clunky...
What am I missing to make this tile visible to users?? (I even tried re-creating the test user)
Thank you, Tom

Hi Tom,
I did a test and it seems that we can't deploy the tile of Devices and Printers via group policy setting
Start Screen Layout. The reason behind this may be due to the fact that the AppID of the Devices and Printers in the exported start layout file is not a set one. We can compare the AppIDs of the Devices and Printers after exporting
the screen layout files with two different user accounts.
Regarding this point, the following thread can also be referred to for more information.

Amazing Spiderman movie download does not play, what's up with that?

I bought the "Amazing Spiderman" movie in iTunes; it will not play on my Mac Pro. A version of it did start on my ipad(3) wanted to finish on my Mac but all I get is a black iTunes window with controls and everything, but it will not play. They still haven't updated Apple support pages to reflect Mountain Lion (10.8.2).
Oh, other movies that I have bought or ripped seem to work fine.

I got this response; I would have expected it to appear here, but it didn't.

You may have bought/ downloaded the Hi Def version of the movie but your monitor/graphics card combination doesn't support the HDCP protocols necessary to play the DRMs HiDef movies offered.
Try to download the standard def version that will play for sure.
Fortunately Apple lets you download the standard version free (after you've paid extra for the HD version)
When it finishes downloading, I will try it again.
Oh, it did show up!

Doesn't display on whole projector screem - video does not play on projecto

I am having truble with keynote and the projector. Keynote will only display as a little box on the projector - it will not fill up the whoole screen. Also, the vido plays fine on the computer when Kenote is running but it does not pick it up on the screen

Ok - I have put on the "Size to fit Display" and I also changes the resoluton to a lower setting. I still get the keynot display in in about 1/4 of the whole screeen size when it goes through the projector. The video still does not play what is on the computer vs what is on the display

ITunes player does not play songs since upgrading to 10.5.1; not fixed with 10.5.2 upgrade. What now?

After upgrading iTunes on my laptop to version 10.5.1, my player will NOT play any songs. My Library seems intact and no songs appear to be missing, but no song will play --not a song downloaded from iTunes Store, nor a song downloaded from a CD. I was hoping version 10.5.2 would fix this, but apparently not. Still not working. Songs do play on my iPod and on my iPhone and I can transfer songs from my laptop to my devices; I can also download Apps to my laptop through the iTunes Store, etc.--all other functions of iTunes seem to be okay, only the player is not working. (My laptop is an hp Probook with Intel i5 chip, Windows 7 Pro OS.)

Does it look like the song is playing at the top of iTunes? Can you see the timer moving?
Also, make sure the volume slider isn't all the way to the left (mute).

HT1657 what if a movie does not play

what if my movie does not play?

Could you walk us through what happens when you try to play the movie, please?

We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)? What vendor should we use to make it push and work well? We want to stay with Apple Mail.

Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain. iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail. Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/ a lot more expensive?

Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

FLV embedded in a SWF file, does not play in HTML file.

Hi,
I embedded a FLV file into flash movie clip, which on publish plays well on SWF file, but when the same is embedded in HTML, it does not play.
What is it i'm missing ..
Kindly help.
Regards
Shashi

First, clarify this... are you embedding the .flv into the time line, as in:
The .FLV file is imported on the timeline of a movie clip.
I embedded the .flv file,
If you are in fact embedding the video, then there is no external video file... it's embedded into the timeline.
If you are using the FLVPlayback component and an external vid file to display the video and the .swf when testing plays the video just fine but not on the HTML Web page:
SWF plays external video file, as soon as I embed SWF in HTML, it no longer playes the external video file.
then it's most likely a pathing problem.
If you are placing the .swf on a Web page and the .swf and/or the .flv file are not both in the same folder as the Web page.... then the .swf should NOT work when you test it directly! That's because it should be pathed to play from the Web page and not the location of the .swf.
For your review:
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.

Placed .swf does not play correctly

I have placed a .swf on a page. When exported to pdf the movie does not play correctly. It plays correctly before being placed. I used flash cs4 actionscript 3 to create the .swf.
I have selected the highest level for pdf when exporting.

ok! I figured it out. This is what is happening. Apparently when you place a .swf in indesign and make a button on the page to show the movie when clicked and then export to pdf -- there is a time delay from the time you click on the button and the movie starts to play in a floating window. Its just a few frames of 24 fps movie but that is enought for whatever gaget that reads the movie to miss the first few frames.
So in effect any info in the first few frames is not read. So i had a stop on the first frame that was not being read. I put the stop on frame 7 and now it plays just like I had hoped.
I hope this helps anybody else out that has had a similar problem.

I have updated to Mountain Lion and now the music on NetHymnal does not play.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and now the music on the NetHymnal site does not play. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the sound on other sites. There is a statement that a plugin is missing but I can't determine what plugin is missing.

Do you have a printer that has a memory card slot on it?

Swf does not play in IE

I have a client who wants his logo in flash. I'm using swfobject to include the swf, but it does not play in IE8 unless I specify compatibility mode.
The site is here...
     thefinancialtap.com
What am I missing?

I'd suggest you get rid of all the IE conditional statement stuff and only use the single <object>, IE will handle that just fine... with or without swfobject.
<object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
            <param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
            <param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
</object>
According to your DOCTYPE this validation service agrees. Validate your page here:
http://validator.w3.org/
Notice what is says about the first (IE targeted) <object>.

DVD Player Does Not Play DVDs

I recently bought HBO DVDs and it does not play in my Apple system. I have an error that states, "this format is not supported" what is wrong? or codec issues?

Without going into a huge tirate about motive behind this from different companies. Just download this player and it should work for you.

Macbook Pro does not play audio part of video

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro (early 2013 with OS 10.10.1).
A colleague sent me a video file, which was originally recorded in MTS format. The sound portion of it does not play on my machine, although it generally can handle MTS. I have a colleague with a Windows PC, for him the audio plays ok. I have another colleague with an older MBP, for him the audio also plays ok. But then I have two more colleagues with a newer MBP like me, and for none of us the audio plays at all. The strange thing is that I can open the file in various editors such as Premiere, Audition, or Logic Pro, and they would all show the waveform of the audio, even the VU meters react normally, but there still is no audible sound.
On the machines that play the sound, we have tried converting the video and exporting the audio portion into various other formats, but with the very same result. None of them play sound for me. This is extremely weird and we have no answer what could be the problem.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot & best regards,
Rainer

Hi Eric,
thanks for the reply.
As I said, we had tried several editors and players, as well as all kinds of formats, using all kinds of converters, but so far to no avail.
The AAC codec is a common codec for the Mac, so there should be no need to convert it. I have videos with that codec that play ok. It already turned out that converting the video file to other formats does not make any difference.
But thanks anyway,
Rainer
