Flash wont play embedded videos only on some accounts

Here is my system and software configuration. Windows7 - IE8 32 bit -- latest Flash version. Flash plays embedded videos under administrator account but not on the other user accounts. Youtube and tests on adobe site shows flash working on all accounts. I've checked IE security settings and kill bit in the registry. Harware acceleration does not make a difference. I've unloaded and loaded Flash multiple times even in the other accounts changing account type to administrator temporarily. Nothing will make it work. I've checked firewall and Norton AV turning them on and off. I am out of ideas and out of patience. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, just wanted to tell this is exactly the same problems I have. And I have tested like you said. My administrator user account can show embeded videos correctly, but both my non-adm user account can not show correctly embeded. And tried to change non-adm account to adm - did not help.
System: Vista home, IExplorer 9
Videos on Youtube.com plays perfect and the adobe "about" flash page shows I have installed latest and I see a spinning logo with my non-adm users.
I have also checked the kill-bit in registery.
But I did find out something, unfortunally it's not a solution, but a clue what's going on - I hope.
If I open this example webpage, all I can see are 2 blank frames and a icon in upper left corner.
If I open same weblink with my adminastror, I can see the videos.
http://www.artvps.com/index.php/tutorials/shaderlight/render
After alot of search on the web, I found some ideas. Copy the below text and save it as "test.html", and open the file in IExplorer. This html text is a mix of collected html-text from above webpage and added some from youtube.com where you get the html-code to copy&paste to embed. The source at end is using IFRAME methode.
The only visible embeded sources using my non-adm account are those that has a "classid" added or IFRAME methode. If there is no "classid" my non-adm account only sees a blank frame and icon in upper left. My administrator account does see ALL sources.
But how to fix that I can see all embeded as non-adm user - sorry, I have no clue
One extra thing: I noticed when running IExplorer as non-adm user, I can see a line in the process-list in windows taskmananger, process-name "FlashUtil10n_ActiveX.exe" with info-text "Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 10.2r152" if I try to view a webpage with flash source.
If I do the same thing with my administrator user this process is not listed in windows taskmanager.
Here is a screenshot from using IExplorer (adm & non-adm) and Opera.

How to play a video in AIR on a mobile device

Does anyone have any walkthrough they can share for how to play a video in an mobile AIR app? This would be for a video that's bundled with the air app.
Thanks!

Since the video is bundled, I'd recommend you make usage of the GPU accelerated StageVideo class:
StageVideo - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
On that page you will find several tutorial and code links (under the description) on how to use it, for example:
Adobe Flash Platform * Using the StageVideo APIs
Getting started with stage video | Adobe Developer Connection
The basics about it is if you have ever created a video player using NetStream and NetConnection then you already know how to use it. After the event fires indicating if StageVideo is available you can make use of it or determine if you need a fallback (regular Video with software rendering).
Unlike just using the FLVPlayback component, you must create and attach your own video controls. Again if you've ever made a custom player with NC/NS classes above then chances are you've made custom controls. Just whichever buttons you desire for your functionality (play/pause, seek, volume, etc).
It's worth repeating, I'm only recommending this because I choose this method with bundled videos. If you need to stream, NetStream will not give you the information you need for buffering/seeking. In that scenario I resort to using StageWebView on iOS which embeds a native HTML5 MP4 playback control. I actually start receiving the stream to get the metadata (video size) and generate a HTML page with a <video> tag that makes the video an appropriate size. Video in StageWebView does not work well (especially Flash video) on Android prior to KitKat so I avoid that and use StageVideo, which works great.

How to play YouTube videos in HD on iPhone over cellular?

Does anyone know how to play YouTube videos using the Google YouTube app in HD on the iPhone over cellular? I'm asking because I have an iPhone 5 with a large LTE data plan, which I don't mind using a bit more data for better clearity on the videos. I know in the past people have suggested to use YouTube in the Safari broswer to view videos in HD, but I find it to be non-consistant. Anyone have a better idea how to watch YouTube videos in HD on iPhone/iPad over cellular (3G/LTE)?

Did you use iAD to create the widget? If you did... then there support group should have answers.
If you used one of the widgets in iBA - as you have had no suggestion for a fix... you will need to contact iBooks support.
The More Like This column on the right shows links to similar problems.
It would seem to be related to your use of You Tube and Vimeo content or maybe its how you put the widget content together.
Have you search the iBA help files, previous posts and the iBA tips?

Can't play embedded videos in Safari

I'm using Version 6.0.2 and I can't play embedded videos. Youtube is fine but if someone includes a video in a blog post, for example, there's a big white blank space where the vid is supposed to be. It happens in both Safari and Firefox. I've paused AdBlock and can't think of what else might be causing the problem. I'm running Virus Barrier X6, if that's any help, although it hasn't been a problem in the past. Could it be an extension?

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.

How to play a video

how to play a video ,there is no option to play it

In the account for your wife, preferences > accounts, you would add an app to the list of apps that run at login. You may be able to add a file to this list, don't know. You could write a simple script with open name-of-video file. Possibly as simple as:
#! /bin/bash
# open is equivalent to double clicking on the file.

How to play a video file stored locally in the system

hi
how to play a video file stored locally
thanks

Hi,
You can't do that in a simple way. You need to have a port open in the firewall, and you need to have a server process on the remote machine.

I can no longer play embedded videos on the BBC and Sky websites, how can I get them to play?.

When I try and run the embedded videos I getthe message that they cannot play and to try later. The error message was:
EMP v.3.0.0.r555290_554055
Playlist URL : http://playlists.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15192676A/playlist.sxml
Error code : CDNRedundancyManagerError [0] :
null
I am using FF 7.0.1 on Windows 7 sp1 and the Flash version is 11.0.1.152. I have checked Firewall settings and they are ok.
Thanks for any help.

Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
or
Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie and refresh page if above does not do it.

What do i have to do to avoid "loading flash" when embedding video in pdf?

I can embed h.264 video in pdf via acrobat pro or inDesign.
However, there's always a moment of waiting, Acrobat Background color flashes up,
before the movie is finally loaded and played back.
I have seen Tutorials where this doesn't occur,
but no difference seeable from what i do.
Any ideas how to avoid this behaviour that occurs however i embed the video.
Second problem: When i play the mebedded video in the full size of the presentation
it kind of gets stuck on the slide. You have to hit the arrow button several times
until at some point it actually advances to a random slide further down the presentation.
My computer is very powerfull and i use the newest InDesign CC and Acrobat XI.
I read all the help and i do what Adobe says i should do.
Is it possible that Adobe just can't handle Video in PDF on a professional level??
Any hints on how to make this look right is appreciated!
best
Stefan

Adobe's promotion of Rich Media in PDF has reduced of late, it's no longer a headline feature for the Acrobat team (though the Frame guys seem addicted to it). Flash within "documents" is a legacy concept - sorry but that's just how it is. More and more people are consuming documents on devices or apps which cannot and will never support Flash/JavaScript/etc. that it's ruining the core principle of PDF - namely that a page looks the same to everyone.
Adobe's decision is that media-enabled interactive files (called "publications", not documents) are now the domain of HTML5 (Edge, Muse, etc) or native apps (DPS). That's where the development is being concentrated.

Embedded video in PDF shows blank

Hi,
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro. I have a PDF and a .mp4 video on a web-server. The mp4 is about 26 Mb in size. If I open the video on the browser (IE) it works.
However when I embed this video in my PDF using a 'Video tool' it plays only the audio and does not show the video. I read somewhere about the file name length. the file name is ps1.mp4.
Can someone please help resolving this.
Thanks in adavance.

Does this only affect one video, or every PDF you open with embedded video content?
If the latter it is probably an issue with your video card. First, I'd try disabling hardware acceleration in Acrobat's preferences > page display, and switching to software mode on preferences > 3D and multimedia > preferred renderer.

Delay in playing embedded video on page load – DPS

Hi
I've created some DPS pages with embedded video content that plays on page load but there is a slight delay causing the page below to be exposed which in turn creates a jump between the underlying page and the loading video.
The video should load, play then disappear revealing the native InDesign page which also is a crisp version of the last frame of the video that has ended.
I don't use a poster image because it renders at a low resolution and is not as crisp as the vector based text below in the native InDesign page.
The page below is what is shown once the video has finished and closed down.
This delay causes a glitch which ruins the fluidity of an otherwise nice looking page.
I'm trying to re-create something along the same lines as the "Martha Stewart Living magazine" video front cover which is seamless and very slick.
Do you know how I can achieve this without the slow loading vid and help make the effect smoother.
Thank you in advance, I look forward to your reply.

From your description it sounds like you are trying to trigger auto-play using Media panel. For DPS you need to set the behaviour in the Folio Overlays panel. Click on the video, open the Folio Overlay panel, and check the Auto-play setting. If you are doing this as a cover you probably also want to enable "do not allow pause".
