FLV won't play even in preview

I've inserted an flv file into my page but I cannot get it to
play under any circumstances. When I preview there is just blank
space where the video should be. After going to 'Insert Flash
Video' I chose 'Progressive Download Video', selected the file,
clicked 'Detect Size' and chose 'Auto play.' I've also tried
creating a swf file in Flash containing the flv video but I get the
same problem. The only place I've actually been able to view the
video is in flash. In the swf I created containing the flv video in
Flash, I can go to 'Publish Preview:Flash' to view the video. If I
go to 'Publish Preview:HTML', the page is blank. What am I doing
wrong?

I figured out the solution. I installed at Apache server on
my computer, then ran the html pages containing the flv files from
the Apache server, and it worked. Apparently flv files on a web
page cannot play unless they are on a web server.

HT1498 My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented". What gives?

My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented". What gives?

I have a similar issue. My Dell Latitude is running Windows Pro 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8. It looks like it's playing, but it isn't.
Things seemed to work fine before the 8.1 update. I fear I will have to rollback to 8.0 because the sound no longer works on the computer unless you use the headphone jack.
Podcasts and music behave the same way, they appear to be playing, but the timer is not progressing for them either.
This may be the combination of 8.1 and 11.1.3.8

FLVs won't play when fully loaded (but do play while still loading?)

With the new flash player (10,1,82,76), my FLVs won't play when they are fully loaded. Previous versions had no problems.
Curiously, they will play if I click the play button while they are still loading.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Well, I found a workaround. If I use myflvplayer.seek(0) before calling myflvplayer.play(), it will work since I am not allowing users to pause.
Lame.

Flv won't play in safari or opera???

I am trying to add a video to this site:
http://www.ld-ink.com/Millennium/index.html
The video plays in Firefox, IE, and Google Chrome.
It does not play for me in Safari of Opera.
Can anyone give me some assistance as to why this is happening? When I preview the page from Dreamweaver in Safari or Opera, it works. When I load it up on the server, and check it on the web in those browsers, it doesn't.
HELP!
(PS - there is no sound with this video).
Thanks,
PT

I searched what that was - and the answer is no. I added the video file as follows: Insert>Media>FLV>browse, etc... used the first skin they gave me.
I have no idea why those two browsers won;t play it, but they don't. I even installed safari on my pc , and it doesn't work, so it's not an issue with my Mac.

IPod Touch 4g upgraded to iOS 5; now 80% of music won't play (even in iTunes)

I saw a lot of related questions, but not this issue: after updating to iOS 5 on my Touch 4g, 64GB. most of the music simply won't play. No error messages, the albums and songs still show, but when pushing play, nothing happens. The capacity bar on the bottom of iTunes shows the data is still there, but for some
reason, most of the music is affected. Anyone else experience this? It's the same whether it's just playing on the device or when I plug it into iTunes and try to play it: won't budge when I push the "Play" button. How can I "unlock" my music? (and no, I chose not to get the 'iCloud' thing when updating the iTunes version to 10.5 or whatever the latest one is; I figured I could add iCloud later when I learned more about it). I also use Manual instead of Sync.

Altered from original solution from Emily P:
Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Sync
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

FLVs won't play from CD on XP

Hi -
I have a Flash CS3/AS2 project containing swfs with FLVs. When I Publish the "START.fla" which pulls all the files together, I tell Flash to create a "Projector" for Mac and an "EXE" for Windows. On my (OS X) desktop this Projector thing works perfectly...swfs open from a menu in my GUI, the swfs reference flvs and the flvs play. The swfs are in the same folder as their flvs.
If I put this whole folder full of files over to the WinXP box (via shared folder), double click on the EXE - no flvs will appear. Everything "leading up to" an flv works - but where there should be a video there is none.
Moving on I burn the project onto a CD. When I open the CD on the Mac and find the Projector - I double click and it still works great. Everything flawless.
I put that same CD into the WinXP (SP3) box, find the EXE and double click. As I expected - no improvement, the GUI opens,the swfs can be launched from the menu, but no flvs appear. I get the swf that references the flv - but no flv. I even waited extra time thinking it would eventually happen. No.
Can anyone give me an idea why it should work on Mac and not on XP? Where should I look for the glitch?
TIA some expertise.

For those lost souls who found themselves on my path...
As far as why disc didn't work on XP.
When using Toast 9 (Mac) to burn CDs/DVDs -
-use Data / Mac & PC. (not UDF)
Then use Toast's own way of writing .inf files and including icons. No other app is required. everything is inside Toast under "More".
Also - files can be hidden from opposing platforms. Very handy.

FLVs won't play

Okay, so I log onto youtube, and I choose a movie to watch.
But when I click the movie i want to watch, it just keeps loading
forever. Then I go on a different site, and it has a blank space
where the movie should play and when I right-click it it says
"movie not loaded" in grayed out letters. Does anyone know whats
going on?

There are a lot of different things that could be going on.
1. Your flashPlayer version might not be up to date, and is
causing issues with the websites.
2. Your flashPlayer could have gone corrupt.
3. The videos you are trying to watch might have broken links
(though I doubt this with youtube)
4. There may be something funky happening with your internet
connection.
5. Your browser may be set to not run javascript, which may
be necessary for some of these.
6. There could be another browser setting that is causing
flash files to not display properly.
My first thought, if you are on a PC using Internet Explorer,
would be to go into C:\WINDOWS\ and delete the "Downloaded Program
Files" folder. This folder houses every plug-in that you install
into Internet Explorer. Deleting it forces each of those plug-ins
to re-download the next time you try to use them. At my company, we
have had some problems with corrupted activeX controls (the
flashPlayer), and have found that deleting this folder will solve
the problem.
Otherwise, I would try uninstalling, and re-installing the
flashPlayer. If that doesn't solve your problem, then it is time to
look into some of the other issues, starting with the browser
settings, eliminating everything one-by-one until you find the
culprit.

Video thumbs became icons and won't play in preview of Bridge

I started a new project in Premiere Pro 6. I'm not sure if it is relevant, but one thing I did differently on a new project was change the DV to HDV, the only time I've done that.
Then when I was importing by dragging from CS6 Bridge a bunch of videos, it looked like they were disappearing, or being moved instead of copied, so I terminated and started over. But after that some thumbnails switched icons and won't play in CS6 preview, though they do when clicked to open in media player.
I think when I finished the video and was starting to export, that a window came up and said dynamic link fail or something. I'd never seen before. Back in CS6, I went to a backup disk and copied the video files that here had thumbs, and copied to the folder with the icons. They had the same number code, but had text in front on the originals. Once I compared to make sure all thumbs and icons were represented, I deleted the icons, and then renamed the thumbs according to my current naming system, so they were just like the replaced ones.
I had exported to queue, and now ran the queue. I got the dynamic link error again, and when I looked back in CS6, the replaced thumbs had become icons like before. Since I still had the window with the other backup disk open, I copied those. But this time, even though they lacked the text in front of them, they arrived as icons instead of thumbs also. I thinkperhaps it is because PP can recognize that they are the same files even though they have different name. Because when I have changed the names of files that are already in a video sequence, and PP asks where the file is, and I indicate the file, it accepts it with the new name, though the old one still shows in the sequence, and doesn't need to be redone when reopened.
The icons, when in PP do play as normal and the export went normally. But the icons won't play in the Bridge preview, and now it seems I can't get back thumbs at all.

Have you tried the Bridge forum?

Itunes won't play song even though computer is authorized

Song purchased on itunes won't play even though computer is authorized, any ideas of how to fix it?

I did not get an error code just a box came up and said i need to authorize computer, and when i piut in username/password, it says computr is already authorized, ans when i click on the song the same box comes up again. I have updated Itunes and still no luck.

.flv and .avi won't play any more.

I had all the relevant codecs and was able to play .flv files in QuickTime and in VLC Player and also .avi files.
I reformatted my MacBook Pro for unrelated reasons, and now since installing all the same codecs etc. I can't play .flv files and also I have .avi movies which play with no sound in QuickTime, whereas they used to before reformatting.
I have installed:
QuickTime Pro 7.5
DivX
XviD Codec 1.0
VLC Player 0.8.6i Janus (Intel)
Perian 1.1
Does anyone know why suddenly there is no sounds for .avi in QuickTime and .flv won't play at all in QuickTime, VLC or the DivX Media Player whenever it used to work fine? I don't want to have to install more media players.
Cheers.

Same problem as Somhairie...
But only .flv files won't play. More exactly I've lost the sound.
despite what you say, Toronto..., I had the same codecs installed as described by Somhairie and it worked fine before I reinstalled all OSX.
Some new ideas someone ?
thank

I am VERY disappointed...

Captivate 6 project loads but won't play

The project won't play when I preview or publish, although each individual slide will play fine.

The play button on the timeline worked fine, but if I try to preview the project, it would load but wouldn't start playing and the control buttons wouldn't work to make it play either. I've fixed this for now by re-creating the first slide and deleting the existing first slide. I don't know why but for some reason I've had this happen multiple times on various slides in a project for no apparent reason.
So for now, this project is working, it's just a weird glitch I've run across and had to reach out several times. Each time the answer is to locate the slide where the issue starts and re-build that slide. So that's what worked again this time.

Track won't play!

I have a song that won't play, even though it's been authorized, and I have not exceeded computers to play it on. It just skips over the track. I paid for it through iTunes.
