Most movies won't play save for youtube and a few others

On Facebook and a lot of website, videos won't play, I just get a black screen when I click on the videos. Youtube is one of the few exceptions, I'd say 1 in 10 website don't work, videos uploaded directly on Facebook for exemple never work.
I though it might be my noscript, or adsblock but I tried every solutions on your support and various forums, didn't change a thing. (e.g. running in safe mode, deleting them, deleting Firefox and re-installing it) So it doens't seem to be an addon problem, unless it install something to deep in my PC for me to remove(the videos did work for a while on Firefox but I don't remember what could have triggered the change).
Then I thought it could be linked to an update to my graphic card but I really have no idea how to test that hypothesis.
I'm wondering if it could be because my computer is an ASUS? I had the same thing happens to me on my previous ASUS computer, it fixed itself when I reinstalled Windows, though when I re-installed it, I didn't have any of the Asus crap that comes with a new computer.
Is there anything you might know that is in conflict with Firefox on a PC that cause this problem?
I don't want to go to Chrome.

I did that, I had two version running, though it didn't change anything that I noticed. I still have the same issue.
I know what you meant with the small lego icon, it's not what's happening, I have a simple black screen as if the video was about to start, it just never do - I don't have a loading issue either.
Addtionnal info, I noticed I have two Shockwave in my plugins - no idea if it's related
I also found out I can't remove the hardware acceleration in Flash. Whenever I right click on a flash thing and uncheck the box, as soon as I close the small window, the box has back being checked.
Among other things I tried is in the about:config, the dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode line, I've set it to TRUE.
I've included 2 images, one of the folder you mentionned, the other is what I get when I click on a cellphone uploaded video. It's not much of a picture, it's only a black screen as I said but just in case it can rule out some stuff.

HT1657 My movie won't play past two minutes and thirty-seven seconds. What do I do?

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too. I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network. For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

Mozilla fox won't play videos on YouTube and other websites. Why is this?

I went onto YouTube and tried to watch videos but a message popped up where the video would be and said to check back later. I went on google chrome and it played immediately so I know it wasn't something wrong with YouTube. I have the latest version of adobe flash player so what else could be wrong?

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Movie won't play on IE9. Works fine on other browsers

Movie plays in all browsers except IE9
Feb 11, 2013 3:05 PM
Please go to this site: http://www.shop.com/Isotonix+reg+OPC+3+reg+-561800349-p+.xhtml
You will see "View Product Video" to the left of "Ship Free".
When I click that link in ALL browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome), it works fine (plays the movie).
When I click it in IE9 an empty gray box shows up.
I have the latest version of the Shockwave Flash Object (11.5.502.149)
I've been looking for a setting in IE9 but nothing helps.
Any ideas?
Thank you
David

This is still the Director Shockwave forum, not one for the Flash Player. Perhaps you missed the link in my previous response:

IPhone 4S on iOS 6 GM has bad audio quality for Siri and a few other apps, will it be fixed before release?

Is there enough time for this to be fixed before release? I have the gold master and it's usually the final version so
I hope they sort it out.

It did not get fixed, my wife uses her iphone to play music on when she have dance classes (as everybody else does), now the sound is so bad that she have to bring her macbook to get a normal good sound.
We look forward to an update so she can use her phone again to play music on.

TS3274 Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos. I also have no sound. Are these common failures for a three year old gen 2 iPad?

Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos (just started today). I also have no sound, keypad clicks, shutoff click, etc. Are these common failures for a three year old Gen 2 iPad?

For the issue with the videos that will no longer work, try closing all apps and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
For the issue with sounds, you have system sounds muted.
Check the side switch above the volume rocker on the side of the iPad. Flip it the other way and see if you get sound from the apps, keyboard clicks, etc.
If not, double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. In the task bar swipe all the way to the right. Look on the far left side and see if there is a speaker icon. If there is, tap it and see if the sounds on apps come back. Then tap the home button.
You can change how the side switch works to either lock screen rotation or to mute system sounds. You can go to Settings>General>Set Side switch to Lock Rotation or mute. If you choose mute, the switch will turn off apps sounds. Otherwise you use the task bar as described above to mute those sounds.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

IDVD autoplay movie won't play in DVD player

My IDVD movie won't play in a DVD player when created in autoplay mode. It plays fine on my computer both in preview and on my computer's DVD player program and it works fine if I create a menu and button, just not if I create it in autoplay mode. I've tried it on my work compter and three DVD players and it won't play in any of them. Can anyone help, please?

Hi Sue
Thanks for responding.
I used a 16x Maxwell DVD-R. The same kind of disc worked fine with the movie when I had a menu.
I'm afraid I don't know what a Patchburn is.

Hi JosefK:
Welcome to discussions.
Did you use a Data DVD by chance?
It needs to be a DVD-R with iMovie 4.
Are you using an external with Patchburn?

ITunes Error: Cannot play bought iTunes movie from one day to the other "The selected movie won't play on your display."

Hi,
just a few weeks ago I watched on my new iMac 5k Retina a long-ago-downloaded movie (iTunes content, HD, Billy Joel. Live at Shea Stadium). I had no issues watching it on the new wonderful display just a few weeks ago!
Today I wanted to resume the video and got the error "The selected movie won’t play on your display. This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).".
Actually the movie plays for a few seconds and then the movie window gets black and the error message appears. Restarting iTunes does not help. Restarting the Mac also not.
How can this be fixed?
Additionally I get since I moved from my old iMac to the new one the iTunes error "Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?" every time I start iTunes.

Selected movie won't play SOLVED

I had this problem trying to play a rented movie. Got the message The selected movie won't play on one of your connected displays. My problem was with a software which is made by INFOCUS for their projector. I removed it and now the movie plays even on the projector and without the software. I have seen that solution in this forum elsewhere.

Hello guys,
Please note that to be able to play your purchased HD movies or videos, let us not forget some minor details. Ensure that your iTunes software is up-to-date. HD videos will only play if you have iTunes 10.6 or later as described in this article:
iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
You might also want to check this one:
iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
I hope this helps a lot! Good luck!

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

QTVR Movies won't play properly in iWeb

QuickTime VR panoramic movies won't play properly. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of iWeb page I use. The movies respond normally when opened with QuickTime Player. The seem to fail only when placed into iWeb.
First, there are no VR controls visible. What controls there are don't respond when clicked. Second, the mouse curson doesn't change when moved over the movie placeholder. Third, the only image within the movie placeholder is the first frame.
I tried several QTVR panorama movies with the same result. I also verified that none of the available movie controllers will function. I have already searched on QTVR in this forum and found none of the few suggestions offered to work.
Any new ideas?

We've recieved your file and got it to work in iWeb. Here's what to do:
As always, place a text box in iWeb the size of the dimentions of your QTVR movie. Put some text in the box something like "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE"
After Publishing your site locate your "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE" text and replace it with
<embed src="http://URLWhereYourFileis.mov" width="320" height="240"></embed>
Another way you can do it is store the QTVR file on your host. If you are using .mac you can store it in your sites folder or Web folder. From the sites folder the URL for your file would be homepage.mac.com/YourUserName/YourFolder(if any)/YourQTVRMovieName.mov
Then place a hyperlink to your files URL in your iWeb page.
Here is the working QTVR file in an iWeb page:
http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/IniWeb
Or if you'd like you can you can hyperlink to http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/twofish.mov

Movie won't play in or outside of itunes

I recently purchased Marvel's Avengers. The movie won't play in itunes or in any other program. I've tried deleting and re-downloading it. I don't get an error message, I just click play and nothing happens.
Sometimes it will flash the pause button briefly, but then it goes back to the play button, and the movie doesn't start.

Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:
