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.

Movies in mobilme gallery won't play in safari on the ipad

The movies I have put on my MobilMe Gallery won't play in Safari on the iPad. The photo gallery works fine, but the movies gallery does not. I created the movies directly from within Quicktime (Share-> MobilMe gallery). Using Safari on my Mac everything works fine. It's only on the iPad that it fails!
What is the matter here? And how to solve this?

Yes, same thing here. I received an email on my iPad with a direct link to a MobileMe gallery movie page. Click on the link and Safari opens just fine, and shows the first image of movie and the text, but no spinning, never loads, can't play.
I know you're supposed to use the MM Gallery app... but... what about those iPad users who don't have MobileMe, but are just redirected by an email link - they could download it, but wouldn't know that.

Embedded audio file won't play in Safari

I'm trying to plan an embedded audio file in safari, but it just never loads. Similar files on the same page are marked 'Flash 9 is required to listen to audio' - I have listened to these files before without any problems.
I have Flash 11.5 installed, have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Flash and all the fixes for when YouTube videos won't play in Safari but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

You will really need to upload it if you want someone to help you troubleshoot the problem. It could be any number of reasons.
If and when you do upload, make sure that you upload the supporting folder that is created when you create a swf on a page.

Movie won't play in Safari in 10.6, will in FireFox and earlier Mac OS

I am updating some web pages and I discovered that on my system running 10.6 a QuickTime movie embedded into the page won't play in Safari. The movie plays if the movie's URL is entered, but it won't play in the page, though another movie on another page plays fine. On the same computer the problem movie page works fine in FireFox.
The HTML is simple...
<embed src="Round-Robin-224px_200kbs.mov" width="224" height="235" autostart="true" loop="true" controller="false" id="looper" name="looper"></embed>
The web address of this page is http://www.automaticduck.com/products/
Any suggestions for getting this movie to play in the page in Safari?

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/media2/eu.mov
The file was made in 2003 (back when QuickTime Player supported Flash tracks).
Since QuickTime 7.3.1 support for .swf tracks has been dropped do to security concerns.
The file will not play in QuickTime X or QuickTime Player 7.3.1, or higher. I viewed it on my Snow Leopard machine using an older copy of QuickTime 6.5.2 (and Rosseta).

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.

HTML5 Video won't play in Safari, when frameset used

I'm the Product Manager for a company who has a product that revolves around video. We've noticed that while we can get the HTML5 video capability in Safari on the iPad working fine in a test harness, as soon as we place that harness in the simplest of framesets (with the video area clearly visible), the video's "play" command no longer works. Oddly enough, the video object's properties can be read/written, but it appears that the "play" function itself does not work (and presumably the pause and load functions). The frustrating thing is that the video does appear to be loading - if you change currentTime to a different position, you can see the video frame at that position. The media just won't play.

...also, when I use the video's tags "controls" (shows player controls within the embed), Play/Pause DOES work. So, it appears to be a bug with the scripting layer.

Quick time won't play in safari

Quick Time Player won't open in Safari 6.0.

I found a workaround - You have to restart Safari in 32 bit mode. It will play QT files. Of course this just means that it may make it unstable, but where were we before 64 bit anyway.
I think those Apple nerds should get this sorted out - its been several years since people have posted the same problem, and I am not sure what motivates them, but it would help to get someone to explain the process or at least find a solution.

My Dreamweaver website movies won't play in Safari

I have made my own very simple website in Dreamweaver. I have a showreel page where files that I made in imovie I then export or 'share' and then place in Dreamweaver as 'Shockwave media' - embedded in the page. When you visit the page a quicktime icon appears briefly and then a player window appears and the movies play automatically with the scroll bar and pause button in view.
This site is as smooth as silk in Firefox 1.5.0.8, Internet Explorer 5.2.3, Netscape Navigator 7.2 and Opera 6.0.3.
My friends using Safari are also not able to view the movies- what we see online is just a static Macromedia Shockwave icon.
My one breakthrough is that if I put the full path to these .mov files in the file name box in Dreamweaver (ie HD/folder/next folder/filename and extension) (rather than folder/filename and extension) you can view the movie by clicking on the Shockwave icon and another window will open and show just the movie with none of page information. This however messes up the view in all of the other browsers too as they do the same. So it is as if Safari cannot find the file in my website folder, but all of the other browsers have no problem.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Any chance you can post a link to the website so people can see the code? I'm no expert by any means but many people browsing here are and may be able to see what the issue is.

Web site hosted video won't play in Safari on MAC.

I have a web application that runs in a web browser. One of its features is the ability to embed a video clip in a web page hosted on this application.
If I create a web page using the HTML5 <video> tag and an H.264 encoded MP4 file video clip, I can browse to this page from my web server and see the video. However, if I launch this same HTML page within my application (window.open(URL, _blank, ...)) it displays the page but refuses to play the video. This happens in Safari 5.1 on my Mac OS10.7 and on all browser tested on my iPad2 (Safari, Mecury, and Dolphin). However, the same HTML code plays fine through my application on all browsers on Windows (including Safari for Windows) and all other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, and Opera) on the Mac. It also plays through the default Android browser and the Opera Mobile browser on my Android tablet.
Here is a sample of the HTML that I am using to play this video...
<video height="713" width="950" autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls" poster="WhiteScreen.png">
     <source src="tradeintradeup.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
     <source src="tradeintradeup.webm" type="video/webm" />
     <source src="tradeintradeup.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
     <div id-noupdate>
          <p>Video format not supported by this browser</p>
     </div>
</video>
When the video does not play, I do NOT get the text in the div, I see an area where the video should be (so the browser is recognizing the <video> tag) but the video never loads or plays.
What am I missing?
Thank you for your assistance.
Dave Smith

Michael,
Thank you for your response.
I am aware of the autoplay restriction on iOS devices. What I see in my iPad(2) is an empty area of the window with no control to touch/click to start the video playing.
In Safari on my Mac, I do see the control bar with the rewind/replay and the play buttons; however, the word "Loading..." is displayed forever in the bar. Again, the browser recognizes the video tag and creates the control to play the clip, but the video never actually starts playing. It appears that it hangs trying to download/stream the content.
I have other pages that embed audio clips using the HTML5 <audio> tag. These play fine, as expected, with Safari on my Mac and on my iPad. Yes, I have to manually start the audio on the iPad, but it runs fine once started and autoplays on the Mac. Of course, these audio files are much smaller than the video files that will not play.
I have looked at the codec used for the video to see if it might not be compatible with the Mac Safari browser, but the video plays directly from my web site. It only fails to play when launched in a pop-up window by my web application. I realize that this points to a problem in my application. I am trying to get some ideas about where to look in my application for the problem.
Thanks again for your time and your input.

Quicktime won't play on Safari on Apple Troubleshoot page. Firefox OK.

When I go here on Safari:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/troubleshooting/
I do not get a Quicktime Logo. When I go there on FIrefox, I get the logo. I can play the Apple trailers on Safari. I have a problem with some streaming (RTSP) sites elsewhere (on safari not firefox).
I am on 10.6.2 with ALL updates. Safari is 4.0.4 (6531.21.10). Firefox is 3.5.8. I am on a MacPro4,1.
SL won't let me install QT7.
Any ideas on how to debug this?

I reinstalled QT7 from the install disk and rebooted but the problem still occurs.
Above response was to get QT 7 to install -- not to fix QT RTSP which, in my opinion is non-functional at this time under Snow Leopard. Basically, the "logo" you see on the "Troubleshooting" test page is just the animated "buffering" logo. If you want to see what the real spiraling "animated logo" looks like, then view the same test page under Tiger or Leopard OS.
About the only other thing you can currently do is reset the RTSP "transport" settings but this did not fix things on my system:
If you're using QuickTime X on Mac OS X Snow Leopard:
1. Quit QuickTime Player if it's running. Open the Terminal application which is located in the Utilities folder.
2. Cut and paste the following command into the command prompt and press the Return key:  qtdefaults reset TransportSettings
3. You should see the following message displayed in the Terminal window: "Quicktime has been configured to automatically determine the best protocol and port for streaming."
4. Quit the Terminal application.

Non-flash youtube videos won't play on safari

Using the desktop version of youtube on safari - not the app.
The page loads, the screen is blank with the "Play" arrow button in the middle but then the video won't start/load/play. If I navigate away from the page, it will briefly show the first frame and then it disappears again. These are videos that were working absolutely fine up to last night with iOS 5. I have since done hard reset and installed iOS 5.0.1 but no luck. Any ideas what might be happening?
Thanks in advance

Using the desktop version of youtube on safari - not the app.
Swipe left on your Home screen then type: Youtube in the search field.
The app looks like this > It comes pre installed on the iPad so there's no way to delete it.

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.

Videos won't play in Safari

Running Safari 5.0.2 on Mac OS 10.5.8 (Mac G5 quad) just installed Flash Player Plugin 10.1 r82. can't view streaming video in Safari -- "an error occurred, please try later" is the typical warning. (same result in current Firefox) I also installed Flash Player (app) yesterday and was able to view videos in Safari -but can't today. I don't see any help notes addressing Flash Plugin for Safari/Mac Browsers. (prior to installing the plugin today, I also ran the Flash un-installer) I know Apple won't be any help on this. Any suggestions? Thanks

Embedded videos won't play in Safari on iPhone 5 iOS 8.02

All of a sudden I can't play any embedded YouTube videos in safari from my iPhone 5. I think the issue started when I upgraded to iOS 8.02.
I can see the screenshot of the video, and the red and white play button in safari, but it isn't clickable. I can click on the word youtube in the upper right hand corner of the picture and it will launch the YouTube app and then the video will play from the YouTube app, but never from safari anymore.
I've tried closing the safari app, clearing safari history, resetting the iphone, downloaded Google chrome, and even tried to use my RSS reader to view the webpage. They all do the same thing, and none will let me click the play button to watch the embedded video.
Anyone have any ideas? This is driving me crazy! Thanks!

After some messing around, I found out that I can't press the red/white play button on the middle of the picture. For some reason, that isn't clickable anymore. Instead, if I press anywhere on the picture preview except for the red/white play button, then the video will play fine.
I Don't remember having to do that before, but at least I can watch embedded videos again.
