Issue with latest Flash Player version when replaying videos

I am using an older version of JWplayer "5.10.2295" in a lot of sites and it was working fine so far. Since the latest version of Flash Player came out the videos can't be played a second time on any browser on Windows. It is working fine for me on Mac - quickly tested in Firefox (Nightly) and Safari (latest stable).
Reverting to an older version showed that everything was working fine before. I tried the latest 13 and 14 from Archived Flash Player versions
Has this kind of issue been reported already? Any change in the upcoming beta that might fix this?
Thanks,
Albert

I uninstalled FP following the steps on Uninstall Flash Player | Windows and installed 'flashplayer15_install_win_pi/ax/ppapi.exe' from Download Adobe Flash Player 15 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs instead. The 'Flash Player information' showed 15.0.0.183, but I still have the same issue. I also ran more tests multiple times on colleges' computers and the results are rather inconsistent:

How to get latest flash player version from javascript code

Hello,
I want to know the latest flash player version number programmatically to compare with currently installed flash player version.
I have requirement in which i need to show message to user when installed flash player version < latest flash player version.
there is no API offlash player available which we can call to get the latest flash player version.
We tried to do webscrapping of adobe site which prints version number but we need to do this from javascript.
Is there any way through which we can come to know wether our installed flash player version is older than latest flash player released version?
Please help..
Thanks
Dhwani

It's in the Global Settings Manager in the Control Panel (Windows) or System Preferences (Mac), but I'm unaware of a javascript you can create to do this independent of a Flash container.
The best you can do would be to create a web page with the expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js added to a Flash container in the page. While that won't give a detailed (installed vs new) indication, it WILL prompt for an update if the current version is higher than the installed version.
You'd then have to add the webpage to startup items, so the end user would see it on login.

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
Steps taken:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
Deleted provided directory in instructions
"Copy and paste the following and click OK.
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Delete all the files in this folder."
Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
Re launched company website and received same error.
Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser. Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

I'm sorry you're encountering this. Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
Thanks,

Help for PowerPoint 2007 crash when running embedded SWF file with latest Flash Player?

I have developed in Xcelsius 2008 SP4 a dashboard with only Excel as the source. I output to PowerPoint and then save it as a PowerPoint 2003 PPS file. On more than a few machines that have PowerPoint 2007, PowerPoint crashes when I attempt to run the presentation. This happens only with later versions of Flash Player. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the latest Flash Player but it still crashes. However, when I revert back to Flash Player 10.1.159..., in PP 2007 the presentation runs perfectly.
With regard to the error I receive in PowerPoint 2007, it is as follows:
Error Signature:
AppName: powerpnt.exe AppVer: 12.0.6500.5000 AppStamp:49a68f9d
ModName: flash10u.ocx ModVer: 10.3.181.34 ModStamp:4e011a1d
fDebug: 0 Offset: 003a893c
Of note is that this behavior does not happen in PowerPoint 2003 nor does it happen when the file is saved as a SWF and launched directly in the browser on the problem machines.
I have to assume that this has happened to others so any help you could provide would be VERY appreciated.
Thank you

Hello,
on the first glance I see these: data="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/user/Documents/Website/Working.swf", what means the path to your swf file is pointing to your local hard drive which nobody can see except you. Please replace all thes pathes with the correct ones and load up your file(s) again.
If the problem remains, please send a link to your website in question, no matter how it looks like..

I experienced the same problem on my Win7 Pro SP1 x64 lenovo T410 laptop with Intel HD Graphics. There was no video driver update available.
I followed the instructions in this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/853591 (step #4) and went back to version 10.2.
Problem solved. I just have to remember not to do any updates to flash player when prompted. I'll come here first to make sure the problem is fixed.

Already have the latest Flash Player Version

Can somebody please help me? I am trying to play a game on Facebook - a game I was able to play ONCE - about 2 weeks ago. Now when I try to play, it says I need to have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player - Download Now. So I tried to download it but it won't work. Turns out I already have the latest version for my system. My operating system is Windows XP, my browser is Internet Explorer 8 and I have the Flash Player version 11.3.300.270. And my Flash Player Add-Ons are already enabled. So why does it continue to tell me to add the latest version when I already have it? BTW: I'm NOT computer savvy - I'm just following the instructions Adobe is giving me - so please if you can help me you'll need to dumb-down your reply or I'll be even more lost. LOL. Thanks!

After installing Mozilla Firefox 20.0 with Adobe Flash Player 11.6, YouTube videos won't load properly.

YouTube videos worked fine before installing Adobe Flash Player. When installed the screen flickers after one second, rewinds to the beginning, then plays normally. This doesn't occur when I use Internet Explorer. I have reinstalled both Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player many times but nothing seems to work . Downgrading Adobe Flash Player didn't work either. It seems like Firefox is the problem but I'm not completely sure.

Hi All,
Thanks a lot "cor-el". I also suffered from the above issue. And after I disabled the protected mode by editing "mms.cfg" file the issue got resolved. Now flash player is working fine.

Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 Debugging not working with latest Flash Player Debug

First to emphasize that never had such issues with Flex
Builder 2 Beta 2 and Flash Player 9.0.47 Debug version.
I downloaded Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 and installed it. Then
trying to debug any Flex app (old or newly created) does not work.
I don’t get any errors, but after some research I saw
it’s nagging up on trying to connect to the Flash Player
debug version.
1. Uninstalled old versions of Flash Player (FP).
2. Downloaded latest debug version of FP 9 (9.0.115) and
installed it both for IE and Opera (Netscape-compatible).
3. Installed Flex Builder 3 Beta 3.
4. Created a simple Flex app.
5. Ran it in debug mode.
6. Showed a small window with title “Progress
Information” and a progress + text: Waiting for Flash Player
to connect to debugger…
7. Two minutes later I got the error: “Failed to
connect; session timed out. Ensure that: 1. You compiled your Flash
application with debugging on. 2. You are running the debugger
version of Flash Player.”
Any idea what is wrong? I tried to download an older debug
version but then FB 3 Beta 3 raises the error it’s expecting
version 9.0.115. I searched to download FB3 Beta 2 (because I
deleted it after downloading Beta 3) but unfortunately Adobe did
their best to wipe it out from their links.
Any help is welcome.

Hi Dimitar,
Did you close all the browsers (and applications which use
Flash Player) when you install Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 or Flash
Player? You can try manually installing it from <FB install
location>/player/ directory. Here're some
installation/unintallation instructions of Flash Player:

Issue with Firefox & Flash Player Installation

This topic has probably already been brought up but I need
some help, please! I can't seem to find anything that matches
exactly what I'm going though here.
Yesterday I did a clean install of Vista. (I had some missing
.dll files for some reason). I re-installed Firefox, and went
through with all the Windows updates, etc. and everything has been
fine. Today, I have been trying to install Flash Player through
Firefox (Flash player is working fine on IE). It goes through the
motion of downloading it from the Adobe site, and it also states
that the download is complete, but when I go to a website such as
Facebook, it's giving me a couple of messages. The actual site's
message is: "Flash Player upgrade required. You must download and
install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this
content." as well as I get the yellow bar up top from Firefox
saying, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media
on this page" and has a button to click saying "Install missing
plugins". When I click on either this button or the "Download
Flash" button on the actual webpage, again, it goes through the
motion of downloading it, but that's as far as it goes. In my
"downloads" window, it shows a bunch of times that I had downloaded
the flash player, but it doesn't even give me the option to open
the file.
Up until yesterday, I did in fact have flash on Firefox.
Another thing I noticed, was when I re-installed Firefox, the
download scheme is a little different (I don't have the download
box at the bottom of the window anymore and I'm not sure why or if
this is just a new version of Firefox that I didn't have before.)
In any event, when I would save the flash player during the
download, I tried a couple of different locations (desktop and
another location in C drive) but when I go to those locations,
there is nothing there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was having the same problem installing Flash 10 for Firefox
and getting the "Insufficient Disk Space" message. I believe this
happens to people whose main local disks have a name other than
"C:" Mine is "G:" I think the problem is that its an install
package that automatically tries to install it on a C: local disk
directory. There is no option to manually install it to a different
directory, so we seem to be out of luck.
However, I did find a link explaining how to manually install
it:
http://www.varesano.net/blog/fabio/installing+flash+player+plugin+firefox+without+having+a dministrator+access+or+premissions
At step 1. Right click the link and choose "Save Link As" and
delete the ".xpi" extension and type ".zip" to save the file as a
".zip" file.
Even though the instructions are for a different problem, I
followed the steps and it worked fine for my problem as
well.

Issues with IE Flash Player

This week I have started seeing issues with swf files
published in version 7 (well behind the current version) when
viewed in IE 7 browsers. Fonts are missing (for static text),
opacities are rendered incorrectly and layering is often discarded.
I suspect that Microsoft has their own version of a swf player due
to their recent attempts to create their own flash authoring
environment (or so I've heard). My issue was resolved by upgrading
(explicitly) the Adobe Flash player but the problem is that IE 7 is
no help to the user; it won't try to help the user get the right
player like Firefox does. Is there a sniffer or other code to
override whatever ridiculousness is happening with IE? Any ideas or
theories on what is really happening?

That is not at all the case. they have no Flahs Player and
they have no
Flash authoring tool.

Yes .. its up to the web site HTLM to say what version is

are flash detection kits availale for web site authors to do
this.

Installed the latest flash player version for safari on mac but not working

I have installed the latest version of flash player as prompted by facebook. when i go to use it, facebook keeps telling me to install the new update. Please help. I am running Safari version 6.0.5. I have run the install a couple of times, it says installation is complete. But Facebook keeps prompting me to upgrade. I have installed, shutdown the computer and restarted but yet I still get this message.

Tested with FF6 beta. MouseCursors do show again

Captivate 4 will not open with latest Flash Player installed?!

Hi,
I've seen this question already, but there wasn't any working answer.
When I launch Captivate, I get the warning box saying flash player "is not installed or its an older version" - with an OK button which just launches IE to get the player, and closes captivate...
I had beta player 10.1, so obviously it isn't older - but still, I uninstalled it, got the version (10.0.45.2) on the adobe page captivate sent me too and... Captivate still will not work!
I've unistalled the plugin twice, rebooted, checked the version and still Captivate will not launch...still the same message
So how on earth can I even launch Captivate?? Do I really have to roll back to flash 9 or something?? I wouldn't mind, but I don't even use IE!
Any help appreciated (esp. from Adobe!)
Cheers.

I just ran into this problem with Captivate as well. I uninstalled Flash Player 10.1 by going here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
I then downloaded an archived Flash Player here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
It seems the main installer does not incorporate the Active-X version of Flash that Internet Explorer needs. There should be several Windows installers in the download. For example, I used Flash Player 10. The following Windows files were in the package:
•    flashplayer10r45_2_win.exe
•    flashplayer10r45_2_winax.exe
•    flashplayer10r45_2_win_sa.exe
Install the first one and second. The second file is the Active-X Flash version (I’m thinking “winax” means Windows Active-X), which Captivate needs to run. I don’t think you need to install the last file (“win_sa”, I’m thinking the “sa” stands for stand-alone).

Issue with Adobe Flash Player- Help

I used to be able to use my webcam! I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player and now I can't use it anywhere!
I am unable to see the Privacy pop-up allowing me to Allow or Deny access to my camera & microphone.
Then when I get to the settings on one site, I see only 3 tabs: Display, Microphone & Camera.
Help?
I have it clicked on my built in iSight.
Before I downloaded the it I clicked on USB Video Class Video and it worked. Now that doesn't even show up!

Since it is nothing to do with FMS and looks like more of a flash player issue - it would be good if you post your query here : http://forums.adobe.com/community/webplayers/flash_player
