No video, just a white box

Hi, I've had a good look through this forum and have made
sure that I have done the following when uploading flash video:
1. Insert .flv file into web page.
2. Upload .flv file to internet via ftp.
3. Upload Script folder with "AC_RunActiveContent.js" inside.
4. Upload web pages along with "flvplayer_progressive.swf"
and "clear_skin_2.swf".
5. I have enabled .flv in MIME settings of web host.
However, all I get when I go to one of the pages with a video
on it is a white box, the video doesn't load.
You can see what I mean if you click on one of the videos
here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards, Matt.
EDIT: thought I should add that I've played all the .flv
files in VLC Player and they all work fine.

PC with FF 2.x, IE6 and Safari 3x - works for me.

DW4: FLV Video Showing as White Box

I am trying to read through all the past posts, but need to get this out to a client quickly and haven't yet found an answer to my issue.
I had an .mp4 file that I converted to .flv using Media Encoder. I inserted the .flv file per instructions. I now have the .flv file , along with the clear_skin_1.swf file and the flvplayer_progressive.swf file in one folder. The expressinstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js files are in the scripts folder. I have loaded them both to my server. Upon viewing in browser, all I get is just the white box.
Here is the link: http://chameleoninteractive.net/clients/isca/isca.htm
Could really use the hold on this. Oh! and just ignore the video underneath...it is a placeholder and altogether different.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Samantha

Here we go again!!!!!

Down-level Poster.png just a white box on IE8

Hi everyone,
I've created a very simple Edge Animate banner consisting of a background image and two layers of text that fade in, it shows up perfectly in everything except for (understandably) IE8 and I assume IE7, all I see is a white box.
I inserted the animation via Dreamweaver using Insert/Media/Edge Animate Composition, it went into a "mainbanner" div with CSS:
#mainbanner {
          clear:both;
          width: 1000px;
          margin: 0 auto;
          border: 0;
          padding: 10px;
These code lines have been inserted into the <head> section of the Dreamweaver template and subsequent index.php page:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
This code was applied to the "mainbanner" div by Dreamweaver after doing Insert/Media/Edge Animate Composition:

<object id="EdgeID" name="EdgeID" type="text/html" width = "1020" height ="437" data ="../edgeanimate_assets/jb_mainbanner/Assets/jb_mainbanner.html" >
</object></div>
Don't know why the animation that has 1000px width has a width of 1020px shown in code when imported yet shows correctly as 1000px in the browser but hey!
I've checked that the down-level poster (Poster.png) I created has been linked to the animation; has been uploaded to the web server; is showing the appropriate static version of the animation but after one whole night of trying everything I can think of all I still get on IE8 is a white box!
Can someone please give me some help with this, many thanks in advance.
Chris

I've just made the Poster.png appear on IE8 by extending the CSS #mainbanner width to 1020px (despite the image being 1000px) and removing the padding temporarily. However two issues still remain:
The image is now not aligned with the header and footer so I need to insert padding again plus there is a still a white box behind the .png that I simply don't want!
At least I have made some progress since waking up this morning with a fresh head!
How can I remove the white box that looks like a placeholder behind the static png on IE8?

Internet videos with little white box in middle

When viewing videos on the Internet I keep getting a little white box with Adobe Flash Player on top and an unknown company asking permission to download on my computer with an option to Accept or Deny on the bottom. When hitting the Deny button it does not go away. How do I permanently stop these boxes from appearing?

Is Flash disabled on your Mac?
See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player do not include the latest security updates and will be disabled to help keep your Mac secure. If Safari 5.1.7 or Leopard Security Update 2012-003 detects an out-of-date version of Flash Player on your system, you will see a dialog informing you that Flash Player has been disabled. The dialog provides the option to go directly to Adobe's website, where you can download and install an updated version of Flash Player.
Additional Information
If you need to re-enable an out-of-date version of Flash Player, you can do the following:
    1.    Navigate to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder.
    2.    Drag "Flash Player.plugin" into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
    3.    If the browser is running, quit and restart it.

Sound but no video - just a white screen

Hi,
I tried to convert some xvid (AVI) files to MP4 using ConvertMovie but it couldn't play or convert the files,
there was just a white screen when I tried to play.
I thought it was just ConvertMovie, because the files play in WMP and VLC player. So I used videora to convert the files.
However, when I transfered the converted files into itunes the same thing happended; sound was fine but video screen was just white (no picture).
Also, it is not just the newly converted files that I have this problem with, all other video files in iTunes now have the same problem.
When I click on a video file, the saved artwork just turns to white. The sound is fine but there is no video throughout the whole duration of the video file.
This is also the same in quicktime.
When I transfer the video files to ipod they play perfectly, so It must be a problem on my computer.
Please help!!

Just been back into iTunes, and a video file that I have saved in TVshows tab plays fine!!!
Bizarre
Hop someone can help

Suddenly I can't view imbedded video on any site!...just a white box!

Recently I lost all ability to view videos on the web through Firefox 13. Videos still work fine w' IE and Chrome and YouTube still works. But w' imbedded video on Yahoo, news sites etc. I just have a big white space. I've also noticed that some adds don't load (perhaps they're video clips as well) and are also a blank white space. Is there a plug-in or extension required for this? I tried downloading new versions of Adobe Flash but I'm not sure how, or if, it installs into Firefox. I'm not sure what changed. All used to work fine.....not sure what changed.

Do you have the newest Flash plugin, version 11.3, released last Friday? Check out this new support article: [[Flash 11.3 crashes or does not load in Firefox 13]]. Does anything there help?

IPad video poster frames white box with grey tv, looking for fix

I have searched the forums and can not find a working solution.
I have mpeg4 Apple TV/ iPad videos that I have added to my iPad through iTunes.
When they came in, all the poster frames were black, as that's the first frame of video. I manually went though iTunes and set each poster frame.
I then sync and reboot on the iPad. Poster frames are now white squares with grey tv.
Repeated the above twice.
Signed in and out of home share (as suggested by one forum) and reboots iPad.
Have removed all files from iPad and then added back. Back to black poster frames.
I have no way to check if the poster frame are correct as in iTunes, I can only see files on the iPad in list view. When I do get info, there is nothing about the poster frame.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

BUMP.
Still looking for an answer on this. In addition to the above:
I have tried setting the poster frames inside of iTunes
I have tried setting the poster frames outside of iTunes and then importing onto the iPad though iTunes.
Setting ratings made no difference.
I can not add artwork manually, it is greyed out in the info pain and not accessible.
Still same results. Now all video files are a Grey Square with a different symbol depending on what "Media Kind" the file is set to. And in fact, when I do this, the files disappear from iTunes and I can no longer find them.
Apple, Please help!!
Reading the Forums, this is a problem that has yet to be answered.

No video just white screen w/ Sound

Hi,
I'm having a problem playing 1 .mov file within quicktime or any other video player for that matter. It's 4G in size and is HD 1080i60. I get sound but no video (just a white screen). I upgraded to Quicktime pro 7 but it didn't help. Does anyone know of a fix for this.
Any help os greatly appreciated
Thanks!

I'm still running FCP 4. I guess it's time for me to upgrade.Good. HERE is a link to the HD v4.5 download. Believe you will require your FCP v4 serial for the form. I downloaded the update when it first came out via the auto client software 3-4 years ago but never used it as I didn't have a "true" HD file source and began using FCE at about the same time. In any case, as Kirk indicated, you will likely be disappointed with some of the upgrade features -- especially those that are CPU dependent. On the other hand, having the additional components installed may allow you to perform HD to SD conversions in QT Pro if that is all you need here -- just takes a bit longer.

White box syndrome!

Hi all. I am working with InDesign 2014 CC. Lately, I have had trouble with my display. When zoomed out, all objects appear in place, like they should be.
However, when zooming in to at least 50%, the document just displays white boxes where the objects and text should be.
This has never happened to me before, and I've been working with InDesign for quite some time. I have tried resetting my preferences, but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this annoying bug? Another thing of note, when I recreate the document, and drag in the objects and text boxes, or copy them from the weird buggy document to a fresh new one, everything displays as it should.

Hi Ryan,
If the problem only occurs in one particular document, and elements copied into a new document display OK, then surely it is the original document that is corrupted. Have you tried exporting to IDML to clear the corruption?
Regards,
Malcolm

White box where Flash should be

Hi,
I don't know if anyone could help me on this (I'm not the main programmer of our company's website) but just the other day we noticed that the main flash animation on our company's website (www.afhu.org) didn't display on some browsers, notably IE6.   It works on IE8, FF, Chrome etc. What the user sees instead of the animation is just a white box the size of the flash object.
I believe the flash lines from the homepage are as follows;

<div id="MainColumn">
    <div class="Column" id="LeftColumn">
    <img src="files/rothbergampitheater.jpg" width="478" height="478" alt="rothbergampitheater.jpg" title="rothbergampitheater.jpg" />
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Get Adobe Flash Player</a></p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("/sites/all/themes/afhu/flash/afhu.swf", "mymovie", "478", "478", "8", "#EEEEEE");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.write("LeftColumn");
</script>
I've seen postings on the web referring to this but most seem older. I'm not sure if this issue has always been with us or is new. We haven't changed any code recently and I would think we would have seen it before but perhaps not. Can anyone tell me from the code above (or from our website, www..afhu.org) if the Flash coding looks 'correct'? Thanks $1mil. !

you must have some code adding swfobject.js to your html but other than that your code looks ok.
but it's an older version (1) of swfobject.   you might want to update to version 2 and see if the problem is resolved or, read about swfobject issues with older browsers and see if this is something that's been fixed with version 2.

White Box on Start-Up..

After seemingly updating from 9.0.4 to 9.1 fine, upon restart, and where I get to the area where Finder is supposed to load, I get just a white box. It's reminiscent of the type of alert box that comes up when you're attempting to force quit an application in OS 9, but there's no text or buttons in it.
There's also the little "waiting" watch icon, but it doesn't appear to be spinning. The mouse moves around fine though.
The machine starts fine with Extensions off, but I don't know where to go from here. I even tried just doing an OS 9.1 Base configuration of extensions. Is it possible to perform a Firmware Update from safe mode? I just need to get this machine running OS X, and I have the firmware update on CD. However, the machine doesn't seem to notice that I have the CD put in the drive in Safe mode.
Help!
Brian

Hold down the Shift key as the last extension loads; if your issue is with the Finder, this may enable it to boot correctly. If not, create a new extension set with only the Apple CD/DVD Driver and Foreign File Access enabled, restart your computer again, and then copy the updater to your hard disk. Try running it from there.
eww: Brian is working on an iMac DV SE; this is the other computer listed in his system information further to the right, and can boot into Mac OS 9.04 and 9.1.

Safari flashes white boxes when loading pictures or video, distorts text

Hi,
I have Safari 3.1.2 and a lot of times when I look at a photo on a flickr page, when the photo loads it flashes these annoying white boxes everywhere. And when I watch a youtube video it will flash white sections on them. Also, when I'm scrolling through an article, the lines will double up and distort. If I restart my computer it will adjust to normal, but the after a while it will start up again. I've singled the problem down to Safari because Firefox does not have this problem. I guess I could just use Firefox and say sayonara to Safari? Any advice?

I have exactly the same problem with browsers, iPhoto, and also text breaking up when scrolling up and down (in Mail, for instance). I also have a Macbook Pro (15", 2,4ghz, GeForce 8600M graphics).
I have heard about people taking the unit back to Apple and having the graphics card replaced, and some people talk about it being a video driver issue, but this has been going on for me since at least 10.5.2 (that's when I first noticed it as a problem) and if it's a software problem it's taking a long time to fix it!

Creative Cloud App just showing blank white box! Cannot install Photoshop

I'm trying to install a Photoshop trial - have followed instructions to install the CC app. The icon appears on my desktop and a Creative Cloud folder appears in my Explorer folder but when I click on the CC app, all I see is a white box.
Occasionally, I have managed to get list of apps to show - but when I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, again it goes to a blank white box. Can't do anything! No spinning icon showing that something is loading - just blank white.
Very frustrating. Just want to download the trial so I can decide if I want to buy. Am on Windows 8 (64 bit). Have tried uninstalling and re-installing using a different browser (Firefox & Chrome) but still same result.
Please help!!
Thank you,

Hi again Jeff - I just read on a similar thread that another user had the same issue with blank CC app and realised the problem was her username having an ampersand "&"
I have an ampersand also in my username on the computer - do you think this might be affecting the issue?
She gave instructions for changing the username (although the link is for Win 7 and I'm using Win 8) - but I'm nervous about changing big system things like that. What happens to "permissions" on certain folders - am I likely to be locked out of making changes in certain folders?
Here is what she wrote on that thread:
If you have ampersand (&) or other non-alphabet characters in windows user folder name (Example: C:\Users\Bob & Mary), then Flash Builder will fail to install (happened to me), Creative Cloud will display white screen, and/or other miscellaneous problems.
I confirmed this to be true and works:
1) I had blank Creative Cloud window as shown in the first post.
2) I renamed the display username and window user folder name by doing the instructions here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2011/03/28/how-to-change-a-windows-account-name-and-user-profile-fol der-name/
(Example: Change from "Bob & Mary" to "Bob n Mary" - without the quotes)
3) After logging back in my newly renamed account, I opened Creative Cloud and login interface shows up! :-)
I would prefer not to do this if you have another suggestion? But just thought I'd mention this as well to see what you thought.
I have also since tried uninstally CC, deleting both the OOBE folder and the AAMUpdater folder, then re-installing CC again... same result. I always get to the list of Apps fine but the minute I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, the whole App window goes to a blank white screen and freezes.
Thank you.
