Force mp4 videos to play in vlc web plugin.

I have, in about:preferences, set "Use VLC web plugin" as the default application for playing mp4 files, and have set media.play-stand-alone to false in about:config. However, when I open mp4 files, it plays in the firefox player, not the vlc player.
How do I remedy this situation.?

Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins
Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0
VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.5
VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.3
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
Remove VLC totally, then re-install.
Update your Flash Player '''v16.0.0.257<br>https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html'''
After, try again and let us know how it goes.

Every transcode of the movie that will not play fails also. Any help on h.264 setting that Media Manager will take.

Downloaded latest VLC Web Plugin ver but Firefox still show old version

Downloaded VLC Web Plugin Version 2.0.5.0 and rebooted and restarted Firefox.
Firefox Plug Ins still shows old version 2.0.2.0.
When I check Firefox for latest version is says 2.0.2.0 is the latest and I'm up to date.
When I open VLC as a standalone it comes up as version 2.0.5.0.
Why is Firefox not incorporating the correct version?

Try to delete the pluginreg.dat file in the Firefox Profile Folder and maybe addons.sqlite as well to reset the plugin registry databases.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

.mp4 videos only play sound plus 1 frozen frame every 20 seconds

Hello, I am trying to edit some .mp4 videos in QT 7 pro. I was able to edit them before updating but now all they do is play the sound with like a frozen frame every 20 seconds that morphs into the next frame that it chooses to play. I can play these files fine with VLC. I don't have the mpeg-2 playback feature but these are .mp4. I use a PowerBook G4 with panther OS 10.3.9. Anyone have any idea? Thanks.

Hi,
I solved it, and I'm posting the solution here for someone else. It has to do with the Turbo mode on the Core i7 processor.
I happened to notice that the jump happened during a period of no video on the timeline, and I saw that the playhead literally jumped back, which led me to conclude that this had nothing to do with GPU, but was related to the timebase. I searched the Adobe forums for posts related to a jumping playhead, and found a guy who said that the Turbo mode on the Core i7 processor messes with Premiere's timebase, and the playhead jump is a correction for it.
Switch do regular High Performance mode, and video is completely smooth.
Thank God I didn't go out and buy new video cards and tore the computer apart and did clean installs as was suggested. But it's pure luck, that would have been my next step.
Thanks, some guy!

Embedded MP4 videos not playing in iOS Safari

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with embedded MP4 videos (e.g. YouTube videos) not playing correctly in Safari. When I try to play one, I get one of two problems:
1. On my (first gen) iPad, Safari usually crashes.
2. On my iPhone 4, videos will load but only play audio, not video, though when I tap on the screen the "play" and "pause" symbols appear.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mike

Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.

How do I get mp4 videos to play in Dropbox on iPad2?

Dropbox and converting video files is new stuff for me, so this may be something simple I am missing. I converted 3gp videos to mp4 videos and copied them into my Dropbox on my PC. As expected, the videos showed up in my Dropbox on my iPad2. When I went to play the mp4 videos on the iPad, I got the same message as I did with the 3gp videos--"enable flash". Obviously, something is wrong. How do I get these mp4 files to play?
The mp4 videos also had a narrower frame, making the people in the video look skinny. Is that typical when you convert the 3gp file to mp4?
Thanks for your help and support.

1280x720 mp4 videos stop playing video after 9.1 update, only sound works

After upgrading to 9.1, 1280x720 mp4 videos won't play video anymore, only sound. Any help?

I am having a similar problem with videos. After an update, some of my video files play and others do not. They are all in mpeg-4 video format so I don't know that is the difference except the videos that are not playing are larger files of movies. The shorter videos play fine. Any ideas? My quicktime is up to date and I'm using iTunes 9.1. Before updates I was able to view the videos without a problem.
I am guessing that because of the size of the videos...mine are 640x352 that does not play but 480x320 will play

How do I get my MP4 videos to play on an HTML5 player?

My urls don't work when I put in in a HTML5 player. The player asks us to put the url in between key their code under.
{mp4remote}http://domain.com/media/paris.mp4{/mp4remote}
but I see we need a video url with http://
and not the url type Azure/storage/mediaservices/containers gave under https://
Is that the problem?

MP4 video not playing

Hi,
I have the following setup:
Mac Pro w/ 2 NVIDIA GeForce 7300s
1 card is powering 2 - 23" Apple Cinema Displays and the 2nd card is powering my Plasma.
The Apple displays run at resolution 1920x1200 and the Plasma runs at 800x600 60Hz. NOTE: I convert DVI down to VGA to run to the Plasma with Apple's adapter.
The problem:
When uploading MP4 from HD camera to iPhoto, video image not showing in Quicktime on either of the cinema displays. But, audio works fine. If I drag the clip into iMovie HD it does NOT work either, only audio plays.
When dragging and dropping the same video clip into an email (Apple Mail), it will play fine in there. If I drag that Quicktime player over to the plasma display it will play fine there as well.
So, how can I get Quicktime to play on either cinema display at their running resolution of 1920x1200?
Goal: To edit video in iMovie HD.
TIA for all of your suggestions!
Kyle

I'll look into it. You may also want to try removing the viewer (remove from both iTunes and iPad, sync) and then adding the viewer again just to make sure it's not a memory issue with the viewer. I'll let you know what I find out.

How can I disable .mp4 videos from playing automatically on Yahoo News? (and elsewhere)

I posted a similar question last week about disabling html5 videos and that seems to have worked. But I notice that when I look at the Yahoo News main page, some videos (thumbnails) are playing automatically as I'm scrolling up and down the page. I find that annoying, distracting, and is probably consuming data on my limited plan.
I see other questions posted about .mp4, but those are all how to PLAY rather than NOT play videos.
Any help would be appreciated.

MP4 Video wont play on DMP

Hello,
We have a DMM (5.2.1) system with several DMP4400's. I can play WMV files from the DMM to the DMP, but when i try to play a MP4 file the screen just stay black. What van be the problem of this? I have tried to convert the video file to WMV but the screen still be black when i play the WMV file.
What can I do?

Hi
My friend
1- question what the software version Cisco DMP?. MP4 played properly start from v 5.4
2-You have to check the codec of your video should match "MPEG-4 (H.264 / AAC Low Complexity)", not all MP4 codecs are supported by Cisco DMP. Kindly find the attached file .
note:-My advise if you are unable to display it in MP4 , you can convert it to MPEG2 and use the below link:-

TS1967 How do I get MP4 videos to play on my ipod?

I recently got a sd card from an amusement park with videos of me on a zipline but when I went to load them on my Ipod they would not load because it would not support the MP4 format. How do I get my Ipod to accept that format?

You do not. Instead you convert the videos to a format that can be played on the iPod.

How do I use VLC web plugin 2.0.6.0

I,m trying to watch some RTSP files. A google search turned up how to configure VLC to play these files. I followed the instructions and it worked although with a clumsy copy and paste the video URL proceedure. I then found a suggestion that this plugin might simplfy the process. Problem is, I can't figure out how to use it. can someone help?

If you don't get a solution here, try asking on the VLC forums.
