No sound, video stops playing after few seconds
Hey,
I have a problem with my Flashplayer. When i watch videos on
websites like Youtube of so, sometimes it happens that my
Flashplayer doesn't play the sound. The video will play for about
two seconds (the whole video is loaded) and than, just stops
playing. I can just drag to another part of the video, from which
two seconds wil be played again. After i refresh Firefox, the
problem usualy is gone. Does anyone else have this problem and more
important, who can tell me the solution...?
Hi jjpijpker,
Thanks for posting. I’m having the same/similar problem
and so are some of these folks:

Almost all people mention: 2 seconds, no sound, works for
some time after Flashplayer uninstalled and re-installed, seems to
have started less than two month ago, most browsers/operating
systems but not usually IE.
No solution so far for me. Some of my data:
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600)
Service Pack 2
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
DX Setup Parameters: Not found

Maybe an Adobe Senior Member has some suggestions which we
could try. This might suggest an answer:

TA21328 youtube videos stop playing after few seconds
While watching videos on youtube, sometimes the videos are stopping or freezing after few seconds of play. How can I fix this?
If you have a slower connection and try to watch hd then your computer won't be able to keep up. Could that be the problem? If it is, just click on the quality wheel, and watch at a lower quality, say 480.

Video stops playing after few seconds
I've uploaded a video to my website a few days ago. It was playing perfectly. Today, it plays for a couple of seconds, then it stops. I've tried it on 5 different browsers, and I get the exact result. So I'm guessing it might be the Flash player. I've searched this forum and found similar posts, but they're old (2007, 2008) and possibly obsolete. Any ideas?
System: Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.8, Flash Player 10.
Browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE (stinks), Opera.How would you explain the video stopping at the same exact spot (about 2 seconds) in five different browsers? The SWF file plays perfectly and completely on my desktop with Flash Player.
P.S. How do you spell your user name upside down? -
The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.
If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. 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 or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
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 - let go of the buttons.
If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems. -
Youtube video stops playing after 11 seconds
Mac Pro / Mountain Lion 10.8.2 / Flash 11.4 - YouTube videos stop playing after 11 secs. Only just started happening last week - around time when I installed latest Lion upgrade but this may be a red herring. Tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling with no change. Checked/emptied cache.
There are several topics with similar symptoms, but I don't think anybody has found an answer yet, as it only occurs on some few systems.
What I would try if I encountered the same problem:
try disable Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
try update the graphics drivers (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765) -
Hello everyone.
i have a 15" MBA circa 2011 running Lion 10.7.5 and my sound has gone, There is a no sound circle on my volume display and in system preferences sound my options for output is empty. At the same time this happened I noticed 2 things: 1) itunes would not actually play any audio track and every video i streamed stopped after a few seconds (usually 11s) but not always.
I have tried following some tips I have found online like going into MIDI and fixing the problem there, restarting in safe mode. Resetting with PRAM (or something that sounds like that).
Does anyone have any insight on this? At this point i'm thinking it's time to reload Lion but I don't really know how to go about that without losing all of my files.
Please Help

TS1717 my music videos stop playing after 3 minutes
my music videos stop playing after 3 mins it happens to them all they worked fine before I upgraded to the new software
No there is no particular limit, especially one as short as 4 minutes in the Flash player or a Web page in general.
The video file may have been corrupted before or during upload to server.
Test the original video file on your local machine, does it play the entire length? is so, notice the file size.
Compare that size to the file size of the video on the server... if they are the same, you might want to re-upload anyway.
Your video file will also have a web address that specifies exactly where it is located on your server. Do a direct download and test the file to see if it is courrupt.
It will have an address something like this:
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/chris_test/tombstone/video1.flv
So download your file directly from the server and play on your local machine to see if it's longer than 4 min.
Could it be that your Web host only allows certain size files (no videos over 4 min for example)?
Best wishes,

Need Help Getting a Flash File to stop playing after 15 seconds
I was sent 3 flash files at work, however they infinitely
look and many places require that these stop playing after 15
seconds. In addition to this, at the 15 second mark at the current
frame rate, the spot is only 85% complete. I figure I can increase
the fps but I can't get the spot to stop. The stop code is of
little use. Any help? Thank!you can use setTimeout(yourfunction,15000) to call
yourfunction after 15000 milliseconds. in yourfunction your can use
yourMovieclip.stop(). -
my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos. I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds. The software is up to date. Just bought this thing in February 2012. Can anyone help me?
Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.

Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?
I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck. -
Why do some YouTube videos stop playing after a short time?
Since sometime in October, 2013, I have noticed that more and more YouTube videos stop playing within a minute of starting. Most that stop do so in 15 or 16 seconds. The playing stops because the download stops. I watch this on a network activity monitor I always have running. Not all videos do this, but the problem is becoming more and more frequent. Some videos which played correctly for me in the recent past are now exhibiting this problem.
Other than installing the latest Firefox updates I have NOT changed the software on my machine. I run Linux by the way. I do not think this is a Linux problem because (1) it was all working before and (2) my son who runs both Mac OS X *and* Windows is also seeing the same problem. We both use Firefox as our browser on all our platforms.
I should also note that I am NOT seeing this problem with any of the other video websites I use, only when I go to YouTube. That leads me to believe that the problem is not in Firefox; if it were it should affect videos from all websites.
Additionally the problem occurs whether or not I log into YouTube.
I have not run Firefox in safe mode because all the extensions I use did not affect the download of Videos before, so I don't expect unchanged extensions to suddenly start causing problems.
So, anyone else see this problem? (There was another note which talked about the same problem but it was disabled.)
Also -- pardon my paranoia, but -- I need to ask: Since YouTube is owned by Google and Google has its own browser it wants you to use, Chrome, is it possible that Google is intentionally causing some YouTube videos to fail if it sees that they are being sent to Firefox?
(That is not so outlandish I think. Microsoft WAS at one point caught mangling web pages going to certain web browsers other than IE. And these days Google wants to dominate the Internet just as badly as Microsoft does, so why not pull dirty tricks too?)
If this keeps happening I am going to have to try Google's Chrome to see if it somehow manages to play YouTube videos correctly while Firefox does not. But I really do NOT want to install Chrome because I trust Google about as much as I trust Microsoft, which is to say Not At All.
Thanks in advance.Hello,
There have been some issues with Flash 11 in the recent past. This could be a manifestation of that issue. Kindly check this response below to see if this helps you in viewing Flash videos.
Also, if you want to check if this is a flash problem and specifically on youtube, you can try the HTML5 version of Youtube. In this, there are no plugins involved, and the browser natively renders the videos. You can signup for the HTML5 trial by visiting http://youtube.com/html5. Please try that and check if the issue goes away.
Also, in this case, Google might not be doing anything sinister - they generally try to be standards compliant too. You can definitely try installing Google Chrome and test this issue, but we definitely would want you to continue to be a Firefox user :)

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

Also, try this one too
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
