No videos fro any site are playing on my PC

Hi,
I am unable to play any videos online on any site. I have tried updating Adobe, unistalling and reinstalling firefox and deleting my cookie history but none of this has worked.
What else can I do?
Kind regards,
Natasha Gentle

Hi Natasha,
Possibly the problem is that Flash Player is up-to-date !! <br/> Developers have been working on issues with Flash Player 11.3 on Firefox 13 Windows for a couple of weeks now.
Standard advice is in this article
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]] BUT using the Flash 11.3 latest update may NOT be a good idea.
If you are having problems because of the Flash 11.3 issue the current advice would be to uninstall Flash Player 11.3 using the Adobe uninstaller utility, and then reinstall either the older secure 10.3 or the newer but less secure Flash 11.2 Whichever is chosen the new security feature ''protected mode'' is disabled, and it is only a temporary workaround. Hopefully we will have further news some time next week. You should revisit help links to check for revisions of the information.
* Full instructions on downgrading Flash Player are in this article
** [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
Cheers, John

  • HI! any idea why the add videos on apple site are not loading on my computer?

    HI! any idea why the add videos on apple site are not loading on my computer?

    You may have something as simple as a corrupt cache. Try resetting in Safe Mode and see if that fixes it. If not another thing to attempt is opening Disk Utility and Repairing Disk Permissions, do this action 2-3 times.

    Hi,

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Download helper no longer works - icon is there but it does not recognise flv video on any site - not a PC guru so easy help needed !!!!

    I have only just started to use Firefox as I got very tired of IE. I watch a lot of flash/flv videos on many different sites and sometimes like to download some of these (which I could do on IE but couldn't here). I downloaded the add on "download helper" which was great and worked really well and easily but all of a sudden it now no longer works (the icon is still there but it won't recognise any type of video form any site at all - and I have no idea at all how to repair/fix it.
    I am not a PC expert or guru so any kind of easy step by step help will be greatly appreciated (I don't want to have to go back to the horrible IE please!!!!!)

    Does it work in the latest Release version - Firefox 31?
    ''Firefox 32 is currently a Beta version; not all add-ons are compatible with pre-release Beta versions of Firefox.''

  • Get videos from my site to play on firefox browsers?

    The videos from my site http://fightforfunny.com do not play on firefox browsers. They work for all browsers except firefox. The videos are hosted by amazon s3 in the mp4 format. I did this because I need the videos to be playable on mobile devices such as iPhone and Android devices. How can I make these videos work for all users on firefox browsers, using amazon s3 hosting. I cannot do a flash format because that would make the videos not work for mobile devices. Please help, thanks.
    -FightForFunny

    That is a weird issue.<br />
    The video starts and then the player gets removed.<br />
    I can make it work if I click the full screen icon and the player keeps working if I return to the normal player.<br />
    So it looks that some JavaScript isn't compatible.
    The Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K) shows this error:
    <pre><nowiki>Video.js: currentTime unavailable on flash playback technology element. (new TypeError("this.el.vjs_getProperty is not a function", "http://www.fightforfunny.com/wp-content/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/video-js/video.js?ver=3.5.1", 21))

  • Videos on my iPad are playing 2x. It seems to happen more prominently on videos via Safari and other apps like Fox News. Sometimes I can alter the speed by "scrubbing" through the video, but it is inconsistent. I have an iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1...thanks!

    Videos on my iPad are running 2x. I have restored every way possible but still no change. The videos are noticeably faster in Safari and other apps like my Fox News app. Sometimes I can change the speed back to normal by "scrubbing" the video, but that is inconsistent. I have an iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1 ...thanks for any and all help!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • With Firefox 5, I cannot watch videos on any site. Yes I updated Flash. I have reverted to Firefox 3.6 and everything is working fine.

    Videos just appear blank on any site that I've gone to. Also, Grooveshark tells me that there is a problem resolving the host. Also, on average pages take about 15 seconds to load which is much longer than normal. I have a 20 MBps connection, and pages load in about 2 seconds using Chrome. Firefox 3.6 works fine.

    As posted above, Firefox versions 4 and later require a Mac with an Intel processor and no longer run on a Mac with a PowerPC processor.<br />
    It says recommended, but it is now a requirement to have an Intel processor.

  • Ipad will no longer play any videos on any site. Switch to photon and it plays. These are not flash vids!

    On safari I have a long list of blogs of news that I have viewed daily for years. About to weeks ago. These apparent you tube embeds now say this video cannot be viewed.   Since these sites haven't changed all at once I downloaded photon and they all play. Yes I know photon has a flash player but I don't have to activate it it just plays. Further if I track to you tube with the YouTube app the same video will play.  All of these sites could not have switched to flash at the same time. Any ideas?

    Where are watching these videos?  Through Safari, or on the You Tube app that was pre-installed on your iPad from day one?  If the later and you all of the sudden can't watch previously viewable video, I'd recommend you reboot your iPad.  Press and hold the power buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar) until the Apple logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. 
    If you could view these through You Tube via Safari, go into settings > safari > clear cookes > clear cache
    Then try again........

  • I can't play any web video in any site like Youtube or cnet...etc on iPad mini

    Wireless network setup with Microsoft virtual mini-port adapter, since connecting my iPad to the network I can't play any video in Safari in sites like Youtube or cnet...etc. also other Apps that depend on Safari to play videos has the same problem.
    I tried my iPhone 5s, the same problem. Both iPad and iPhone has iOS 7.1.1.
    The strange thing is that My iPhone 4 iOS v5.1.1 doesn't has the problem with this wireless network.
    Anyone had the same problem. Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    If it is related to the allowance setting then why iPhone 4 iOS5 is working fine.
    I tried to check the settings, noting to add or do there.

  • Firefox refuses to play videos from any site. I.E and Google chrome plays them just fine. Any idea why this is happening??

    I get a message saying there is an error and to try again later. Trying later doesn't seem to have helped. The videos in question are normal "news", youtube, etc. nothing exotic. again, my other browsers seem unaffected.

    This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

  • A video on any site is shown double, one on top of each other!

    When ever I want to see a video, no matter what site it is, the screen, where the video is on, shows two images of the video. Basically, the video is condensed into two, one on top of each other, making them wide, but I dont know why there show two!!

    This seems to have happened after the latest Adobe Flash Player update. Might be an issue of compatibility with Firefox, since in Internet Explorer the problem doesn't appear. Haven't tried any other browsers yet.
    To me, it seems that the two images that appear are similar to the ones used in making 3D movies, but instead of displaying them overlapped they are displayed separately. This is just a wild guess and I have no actual proof to back this up.
    PS: I am also using Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows XP.
    Later edit: I have found a workaround for this issue. Right-Click on any improper displayed video and choose Settings. On one of the tabs found there is a checkbox "Enable Hardware Acceleration". It was enabled for me, after disabling it and restarting the browser the video was back to normal.

  • 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?

  • None of the pictures on any site are showing and I have adobe flash player and VLC media player what do I do to fix this?

    When I go to different sites the pictures that normally load with a flash player are not loading. The show broken picture signs or nothing at all. What do I do to make firefox more compatible?

    I didnt mean for you to come up with it, the answer, but if there is someone like me who already has, who is posting to my problem. I didnt mean for rush to this problem but I am in a has hurry because I cant access my back office of my site due to this issue. So no disrespect I understand that this forum is volunteer . I am just unhappy with firefox always have been thats why I dont normally use it but with the new site I operate the office I access does use it. Sorry for the misunderstanding...I can wait I just didnt want to ask something that has already been solved.

  • When trying to download videos from any site i get the message cannot create target file

    I have tried uninstalling firefox and video download helper then reinstalling them and changing the destination folder and resetting the commands .

    Do you see a "3G", "E", or "o" next to the carrier name and signal indicator on the phone? If not, then you are not connected to a cellular data network at all. It's not impossible that you're not in range of their data network. Who is your carrier and where are you located?
    If you do see one of those, you may want to call them again and ask explicitly to have them check the provisioning on your account.  Just because it looks right in the billing system does NOT mean they have it set up correctly.
