FLV video will play but sound will not

sites like youtube and google video, work fine...video wise. However, sound won't play at all. Mpeg's work, wmv works..everything but FLV. I have flash player version 9 installed (public beta). i tried running version 8 in rosetta mode, and nothing..anybody else having this issue or have fix?
Thanks!

flash player is out of beta.
try grabbing the latest version:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BIOW
also go into your system preferences/quicktime
go to the advanced tab, and check enable flash.
may or may not have anything to do with the audio, but it still should be checked (latest update to QT has this off by default)

.FLV Video will not work when linked to on intranet (Captivate 5)

I have a project with video (.FLV).
1. Project was developed and published to a folder on the local hard drive of a PC.
2. Project was copied to my company's intranet server.
3. If I click on "My computer" and navigate to the network folder where the project is, the project and video work fine.
4. If I LINK to the project (say to send the location to someone in an Outlook message) the project WILL open, but the video will not (reads "Connection Error").
I did add the video to the library of the project. The video file is in the same folder as the published project.
I have worked with support over the phone and wanted to try something different before calling back. The solution they gave me was to zip the project. I haven't tried that because it will not be practical for my small hospital. My users will need to be able to click on something and make it work, they may not have admin rights to the pc or the knowledge/desire to unzip a file.
Thanks for reading.

I thought I'd add a few comments in addition to Rod's good suggestions. For the benefit of others who may follow this thread in the future where their .flv is stored on a web server or MS SharePoint. I'd suggest checking with the web server administrator to assure that the server accommodates the .flv "mime type". This is often the problem when you see the "Connection Error" statement.
This Adobe Knowledge Base article gives details to fix it.

This can also be the case if the .flv is being delivered from SharePoint.

Of course these might not be where your .flvs are stored, but just in case...

Swf and flv video will not upload to DW

I am having a lot of trouble uploading a video to DW. I have several different versions, all with the same result--will not show in DW. The file that I would like to use is an SWF that I created in Flash with play features. When I try to insert the video through the media options in DW, a FL grey placeholder appears. However, if you press "play" or try to view the video in FF, IE, or Safari, you get a blank screen. Attached is the code I am using. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
to show you that in my homepage it's the same, here two on-screen copies:
and
Of course it could be, your path to the swf file is too encapsulated to the main page. In this case it helps to start with "../xxx.swf" before the filename.

My computer won't play videos from site like the Daily Show and the CW, but they stopped working last week. I have the newest version of Adobe player. Anyone know why the full videos will not play?

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture. Same with the iPod. Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

Some videos will not play (blank screen).

Some of my videos will not play. I select the video and a "Play" arrow shows in the upper left portion of the screen, but the screen is dark (blank). I can press Menu and return.
I don't believe it's a size issue because certain other larger videos do play. Nor do I think it's a format issue because all of the videos are the same format (*.m4v). It also doesn't appear to be a time/sync issue because some videos added after others do play and some don't.
I really don't have a problem reformatting and starting over if that is the best or only solution as I only use iTunes and don't have calendar, notes, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Where are these from? Are they from the iTunes Store or where they downloaded elsewhere and then added to your library? Perhaps you can try restoring your iPod to factory settings and then resyncing the videos back over to it.
If the videos are not from iTunes, perhaps you can try and re-convert them using a third party utility such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip.

I noticed after switching from IE9 to Firefox that some website videos will not play. How is this corrected?

I sometimes want to look at how-to videos. Some play and some do not in Firefox. When a message does come up on the screen it says someting like 'sorry, but the video will not play...do you wish to download the plugin?'. Because I am very catious about what I download, I am not confident about downloading a plugin. Does anyone know what I need for Firefox to play all website videos?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I am adding this to my original question:
I see that quick-time is an available plugin...Is this soething that will work?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you

You're welcome. Glad I was able to help you.

Certain website's videos will not play, MLB and Jay Leno's garage. Why?

Not sure when this started to happen - perhaps the last update but now the Baseball website and the Jay Leno's garage website's video will not play. They appear to go to sleep while loading. (The little circle goes round and round but never stops.) Other sites seem to work fine.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Since the last update??

Try these steps, taking the next one if a previous one didn't help:
*[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Clear_cookies_and_cache clear cookies and cache] (usually helps with site specific issues),
*test it in [[safe mode]] (usually helps if a recently installed addon is troublesome;
**start it in normal mode again then,
**disable all add-ons in tools - addons,
**then re-enable them by halves to find the culprit),
*remove and re-add Firefox to your [[firewalls]] trusted lists (helps if you can't access the web after an update).

ITunes videos will not play

Ever since I've updated to the newer iTunes version, my videos will not play correctly. Any video I bought on iTunes will not work. Also any video previews or trailers from iTunes will not work. Any other video from online or ones that I've recorded work normally. When I try to play a video, this is what it looks like:
The picture does not show, but the audio plays perfectly. Quicktime and every other software is updated. I've tried to find the answer on the forums but couldn't find one similar to my problem. Also, I cannot contact any apple support by phone because I'm currently living in China and this or e-mail is the most conveinent.
Help!
Thanks,
K.

Hi Oicrylic,
If you are still having video playback issues in iTunes, you may want to try the following user isolation troubleshooting to see if the issue can be localized to either a user or a system level cause.

Some videos will not play in the Public site

For some reason, I have quite a few videos that do not play in the public site while other videos play just fine. When selecting a video, the player opens but the video never starts.
Any ideas?

Video will not play, yet audio does.

Like the header says, all of a sudden I go to work on a project I've never had trouble with and the video will not play; it is frozen wherever the cursor is. Yet the audio does play. I've tried clearing cache, clearing premiere cache, gone all over the internet to try and find an answer, of course India is closed right now, so no help there, not that they really give it anyway. So I'm asking if anyone might have experienced this one and figured it out despite Adobe. I'm on a PC with Windows 8 and terabytes and terabytes of storage; plenty of space left on disc, too. As I said; this has never been even a hint of a problem Just started up today. This even beats most Adobe "beta testing" problems they heap on us unsuspecting sheep. So I'm completely flummoxed. A prize to whoever knows what's up with this! It's a new one on me... Thanks in advance to whichever genius knows the answer! :-)

OK, I found the answer by myself and wish to share it with those having the same issue. It turns out that the saved workspace can corrupt allowing audio to play, while video remains frozen. The fix is to change the workspace. Go to WINDOW, after creating a new style workspace and save the new workspace. Problem fixed. Also, if there are already a number of other saved workspaces that involve video you can simply change to that one and it will be fixed. Delete the corrupt workspace. That's it! This was discovered through a simple process of elimination which proves that bugs really can surface anywhere for no intuitive reason. Hope this helps you!
