FLV video won't play in Windows

Hi,
I'm creating a stand-alone [projector] flash player
presentation. In it, I have a FLV playing. I'm using the
FLVPlayback component to play the file. It works perfectly on my
Mac, but when I try it out in Windows XP, it doesn't play the
video. Everything else in the presentation works fine.
The FLV is about 3 minutes long and is 16.8 MB. It was
converted in Quicktime.
Most of the paramaters in the FLVPlayback component are the
defaults, with a couple of edits:
autoPlay = true
autoRewind = true
autoSize = false
bufferTime = 0.1
contentPath = Assets/filename.flv
cuePoints = None
isLive = false
skin = ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf
skinAutoHide = true
totalTime = 0
volume = 100
Using Flash 8 on a Mac.
Any thoughts as to what the problem might be?
Thanks!

mmm..
Are you trying to load it from the harddrive or a CD-ROM ?
There are known problems when loading such big flv files from
the CD-ROM

Iphone 5 IOS 8.1.1 videos won't play on windows 8.1

Hi,
I have recently come across a problem with transferring over videos to my PC from my iphone 5 since installing the recent update 8.1.1.
Prior to this last IOS update, I have always been able to transfer my videos across to my PC and play them using Windows Media Player V.12 with no problems.
Since installing IOS 8.1.1 I am no longer able to view these videos once they have been transferred across to my PC, Media Player stops responding and crashes. If I right click on the file to view the properties, the folder that the files are in closes instantly.
I am able to view these videos using Media Player Classic and VLC Media Player, Windows Media Player 12 does not appear to be affected in any other way, all other media content appears to be working with no problems.
We have also re-installed Windows Media Player 12 and checked to see if the latest codecs are installed, this makes no difference.
I am able to transfer the videos to another computer using windows 7 and windows media player 12 and they play correctly without any problems.
We have also tried another iphone 5 using 8.1.1 and the same problem occurs on windows 8.1.
All videos taken prior to the latest 8.1.1 continue to play with no issues.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and may know of a way to resolve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same problem! I thought it was an issue with corrupt files as the videos are not readable as videos on my Windows 8 PC. All videos prior to doing the update on my phone, work fine. After a lot of investigating, restoring pc, deleting software...I found that Windows 7 reluctantly reads the videos and an XP PC has no problem. It's obviously an incompatibility issue but the only way I have got round it. is to upload videos from iphone to youtube and to then download using 'freemake' as they are converted them to MP4 and the pc has no problem with that files type.
it's been a nightmare to sort and one that is making me reconsidering having an iphone at all. I love it but really wish I had never done the update.

Shared Video Won't Play In Windows

Hi
Can anyone help please? iTUNES 7.1.1
I do not seem to be able to play any shared Videos (from another machine) on a Windows Machine. I can play the same shared video on a MAC.
I have tried the share from another windows machine and a MAC with no difference. You can see the video listing but nothing happens when you press play.
If I load the same video on the local machine all is well, it plays perfectly.
What am I missing or doing wrong?
Cheers Malcolm

When I import a video I recorded to my laptop from my Iphone 5c it won't play on window media centre or vec or any medium. Please help??? It plays perfect on the phone.

When I import a video I recorded to my laptop from my Iphone 5c it won't play on window media centre or vec or any medium. Please help??? It plays perfect on the phone.

The format from the phone is :
h.264 encoded video, AAC audio. Both standards of MPEG 4.
You need Windows Media Player version 12 or above to play MP4 (or add the codecs to your current version).

Videos won't play in powerpoint when connected to projector

I've tried to find a solution for my problem online but haven't come across anyone with the same issue. I often work with powerpoint presentations with many videos in it. The videos play just fine on my laptop and also when hooked up to an external monitor, which I use when at work, both in slideshow mode and when previewing my animations. However, when I hook up my mac onto a projector the videos won't play - not on my laptop screen nor on the projected screen. I've tried rearranging the displays by draggin the menu bar to either display and also switched from mirror screens to presenter's view within powerpoint but nothing helped solve the issue. The only solution I found is to play the presentation on my windows partition - which is not really what I'm planning to do for long term...
I'm using Powerpoint 2011 for mac and this problem has occurred using multiple projectors.
Any help on how to solve this issue is highly appreciated!

I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
Here what I figured out so far:
1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

Videos won't play in any browser

Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
I get this message.
"Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

MailOnline videos won't play in Firefox unless in safe mode although they're fine in Explorer.

It's for my mum, honest. Firefox 25, java and flash uptodate but the Mail Online videos won't play unless I start Firefox in safemode. A large white rectangle appears but nothing else.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

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. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# 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.

Help me please, games crash on launch, youtube videos won't play.

Whenever i start up sound blaster cinema it just crashes, it will be fine for about 10 seconds, then it just crashes, it will usually freeze up everything when it crashes only thing i can do is move my cursor around, it will unfreeze after 10 seconds or so as well.
I have tried to update sound blaster cinema but there are not updates available.
It would usually go back to normal after a shutdown or a restart but this time it wasn't having any of it.
Can anyone suggest anything that i couldn't think of?
The crashing first started a month+ ago, but today when I was playing L4D2 a boomer explosion crashed L4D2 and sound blaster cinema simultaneously and now sound blaster cinema won't stop crashing after launch.
(Edit)
I can't launch any games, i try to play the game osu! and it launches normally except the screen turns black and then it crashes. i try to launch steam and login but the login menu wont pop
I can't even play a youtube video, the background of the video will show but the video won't play, it's not buffering but the video is loading.
windows media player won't launch as well, videos on my computer will not play at all.

(FIXED)
I went and downloaded thee intel(R) driver update utility 2.0 went to find drivers and then to auto detect and updated my drivers.
This is the driver that helped me. vvvv
( Iris, irispro, and hd graphics driver for windows*7/8/8.1 version 15.36.19.64.41.70 )
Sound blaster cinema doesn't crash on launch anymore, neither does my game osu! and youtube videos now play.

Certain youtube videos won't play in Firefox

Firefox 20.0.1, windows 7, flashplayer up to date.
Certain youtube videos won't play. The advert beforehand plays, and then the video just displays a black screen, no loading, trying to skip to a later time in the video doesn't work. It seems to be certain youtube users whose videos won't play, users whose videos I was able to watch only yesterday. The featured video on the user's channel is watchable, but not when opened separately.
IE won't show the affected videos either.

In addition to these symptoms, I've noticed that I can view these troubled videos on my cellphone just fine, but neither my XP or Win7 machine, which have all software updated can view. So if it was on youtubes side, it wouldn't work on my phone either.

Video won't play in IE

My video won't play in IE/Windows though it works fine in
other browsers. Can anyone please explain in very simple terms
exactly what I need to do to get it to work? (I can tell that
Dreamweaver doesn't like the way it's coded, but letting
Dreamweaver fix it doesn't make it work.) Thanks.

I think it's your specific browser player problem. It works
here on every IE
in my Office. No problem at all...

After automatically updated to Firefox 3.6.15 videos won't play properly

Recently when firefox was automatically updated to 3.6.15 suddenly videos won't play properly anymore. Vidxden videos used to play really well but now they don't load properly or not at all. All the other videos take forever to load and don't seem to be compatible anymore. I usually go to the same video sites and those don't work like they used to. I've noticed as well that hotmail is really slow and many pages won't load at all including windows live web site. It doesn't appear that 3.6.15 is very compatible with video play or msn sites.

Since automatic update to 3.6.15, I am unable to play videos on abc.com, and even on my News Feed page in Facebook. The error message says the video is being blocked by an ad blocker in my browser. I have not changed my security settings, nor have I updated any other software recently.
By the way, I did check the same videos (at abc.com and on Facebook) with Internet Explorer (same computer) and they played just fine.

Whenever I export my interactive indesign file to swf the videos won't play in the resulting html file, it's just a black screen. I'm using .mp4 videos as well.

Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?
Thank you

Unless you held down the Command key when dragging the iPhoto Library package to the flash drive you only copied the library. How is the flash drive formatted? If it was not OS X Extended (journaled) the integrity of the library's internal structure was probably compromised.
If you don't have a current backup of your library do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Videos won't play on CBS, Fox, or NBC

Hello!
For the last 48 hours I've been trying to watch Gotham on Fox.com from my iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010)...no good. I was just watching it earlier this week, and for some reason when I try now it only has a black window (no error message). Videos won't play for me on NBC.com, Fox.com, or CBS.com on neither Chrome nor Safari nor Firefox. Randomly, ABC.com DOES work across all fronts.
Here is what I've tried:
-Restarting computer
-Refreshing constantly
-Reinstalling Chrome / Firefox
-Making sure Flash was updated
-Clearing all website data / caches / extensions
I even right clicked on the blank Fox video page, selected "Global Settings," and cleared all Local Storage Settings for Flash. NOTHING! I'm even starting to wonder if my roommate sabotaged my computer...that's how desperate I am on ideas.
Best,
Jalyssa

Your videos play in iPhoto and they don't as well?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
