Problems running Adobe Connect add-in under XenApp

This is a real stab in the dark but it's a serious problem for us. Something has changed recently with Adobe Connect that means the add-in (adobeconnectaddin.exe) is hanging at the "Connecting" prompt. We're running Windows 2003 Terminal Server with Citrix XenApp v5 on top.
I suspect it's a problem with Flash acceleration features baked into HDX Flash, part of XenApp but it used to work. Flash v11.3 or higher broke HDX Flash but I don't think that's the problem as I've gone back to a very basic XenApp build with nothing much apart from the OS, XenApp, Flash v11.2.202.235 and the latest add-in - same crash occurs. If I happen to logon to the console using RDP, the fault doesn't occur hence my reason for suspecting it's the Citrix Receiver client/HDX Flash/Adobe Connect Pro add-in nightmare combo!
But considering I've gone back to an earlier image of XenApp (we keep copies of all builds) from February where Adobe Connect used to work fine, I suspect something has now changed with ACP that's broken it on XenApp.
As I said, it's a shot in the dark because this is a relatively unusual set-up and we're on an old version of XenApp/Windows as well.
But help!
Cheers, Rob.

Rob, it sounds like port 1935 is being blocked. Can you verify that that port is open?
Have you gone to the Test Your Computer page for your connect account. After the diagnostics run, choose to send and email and then click on the details... link to see the results of the test.
Here is a link to that page for our hosted account, if that makes it easier: http://realeyesconnect.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm
If needed, Connect only requires FP 10.3 or newer. If it comes to it, an older version of the Flash Player can be tested.

  • Adobe Connect Add-in Error 9.1 r314

    I have been getting an error while trying to save recordings offline.  When the Adobe Connect add-in starts, I get the option to save and then then it crashes.  Listed below are the step I have taken to resolve the issue
    1. Uninstall the Add-in
    2. Delete all folders pertaining to the add-in (macromedia.com folder and #sharedObjects)
    3. Uninstalled flash.
    4. Run "Flash Cleaner" from Adobe
    5. Installed Flash then the Add-In
    After this, I still received the same error.  I have tried this about 3 times with no luck. Any help on this would be great. Below are the details that result from the crash.  This is a vista machine.  Error is not profile specific as I have created another profile and attempted to save the recording and received the error.

    Issue
    While trying to make a recording offline you run into an error message;
    Adobe Acrobat Connect Add-in 9.3  r52 has encountered a problem and needs to close
    (Add in WIN 9,3,34,0/ WIN 9.3.32,0)Add-in will crash when user make the recording offline in Meeting.
    Reason
    There seems to be a bug in the 9.3.32.0 Add-in causing it to crash.  This will be fixed shortly.  Only current work around is to install an older Connect Add-In (9.1.299)
    1) Uninstall current Connect Add-in from Add/Remove Programs
    2) Install this add-in from here;
    ftp://breezeext:[email protected]/patches/Addin9.1.299.zip
    Solution
    Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the current Connect Add-in.  Once completed you need to download Connect Add-in Version 9.1.299

  • Can the new MacBook Air 13" with the i3 processor run Adobe Connect?

    I need a new computer for college this fall. I really am leaning towards the MacBook Air, 13" model with the i3 Processor and an upgrade to 8 GB ram. Will this (w/ a 1.3GHz Processor) run Adobe Connect? It says it requires 1.83GHz for Mac. So is it not fast enough? Should I just get the pro? :/
    Here is the site on Adobe...
    http://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect/tech-specs.html
    Any help is appreciated. :)

    I agree that the Retina display is only truly useful for photographers, etc; but as someone who owns a 13 inch Retina MBP and had a 13 inch MBA, I wouldn't necessarily clssify the non-Retina machines as "better".  The difference in display quality is quite noticeable, I like it, and I've never had a problem running non-optimized websites or apps on the machine and I'm fussy about displays. Maybe that's because I've left it running at default settings.
    It really all depends on where you want to put your bucks.  In general, you can get slightly better performance for the same money with a non-Retina machine.
    That said, if you're looking at benchmarks and using Geekbench, a 1.3 i5 2013 MBA comes out at 5940-5950; my 2012 2.5 i5 Retina benches out at 6777, so it's slightly faster but not remarkably so.  The 2013 1.7 i7 MBA will match up with it and even exceed it a bit, at least until the Retinas are upgraded with Haswell later.  I suspect they'll be faster, though it depends on what chips Apple uses and how much battery life they want to trade off for it.  Also, you are using some graphics power with the Retina just to process the display, and the newer Intel graphics GPU's are generally stronger than the 4000 series in the current Retina, so that's a littl bit of the trade off you'd make.
    The newer models have a faster disk access system and 8011.ac wireless though the latter is problematic at the moment and it will take some time for Apple to fix that.  You'll also not be able to take too much advantage of the faster wirelss speeds immediately unless you buy a new (8011.ac) router; it will take a few years before the rest of the world catches up to the new standard.  The 13 Retina MBP has an extra Thunderbolt port..which I routinely use..and an HDMI slot not present on the MBA.
    Just do your homework, consider all your needs, and get what serves you best.

    Hi garryw,
    What version of Reader are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows? Do you get the same error when you try to print other PDF files, or is the problem specific to one PDF?
    For starters, please try the solutions listed in this thread: Re: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat /Reader. If it is running ,please exit and try again.(0:104)

  • Unable to download Adobe Connect add-in

    I am trying to downlaod adobe connect add in, my computer will not allow it. It is saying unable to write to hard disk?
    Message was edited by: ashish gupta. to add a more descriptive title to the post.

    Helllo!
    Please try this.
    Go to this website, first changing "myconnectserver.com" with the address of your own Adobe Connect server:
    myconnectserver.com/common/help/en/support/addindownload.htm
    Next, click on the "Download the Windows version" or "Download the Macintosh version" to download the actual Add-in installation file to your computer. If you get the error message at this point, this is because you likely do not have the necessary permissions to save the file to your computer. Try saving to another location, like your desktop, and see if that works.
    I hope this helps!

  • I've plenty hard disc room, but can't download adobe connect add-in

    When I try to download Adobe Connect Add-in, message tells me I haven't enuf room on hard-disk, yet I've plenty hard-drive space available.

    Hi,
    You could either download the latest version of the Add-In with a standalone installer at http://www.adobe.com/support/connect/downloads-updates.html
    Or you could also try using IE/Firefox/Safari when downloading the addin. Google Chrome is known to give issues while downloading the Add-In sometimes.

  • Detecting the Adobe Connect Add In in Flex/Flash?

    Hello,
    I am working on a project, and one of the items that I need
    to add into this application is the ability to find out from the
    client connected whether or not they have the Adobe Connect Add In
    for flash player. I see the tool on Adobe's website for the connect
    connection test does this somehow, but I can't find any
    documentation on how to get that information. I can't find it
    anywhere in the actionscript reference. Please advise.

    The add-in should only be required if you are sharing your screen or uploading PPTX content.
    Are you having trouble with the room loading? Can you explain/show the issue you are having?

  • Adobe connect add-in install crashes

    Dear all,
    We want to deploy the Adobe connect add-in on all our computers but when I tried to install it on a test computer, to check if it works correctly, the setup crashes at the end saying that "the program wasn't installed correctly" like the following picture (sorry it's in french!):
    If i use the "Reinstall using recommended settings" the install is done without any errors. However if I connect to a test meeting the plugin isn't detected:
    By the way if we use the test connection page, the plugin is installed with success through the Flash download interface (step 4: http://na1cps.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm)
    For information here is our standard configuration:
    - Windows 7 x64
    - Internet explorer 8
    - Flash player 11.3
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Regards

    The add-in is version 11.2.385 from July 2013. I've tried uninstalling that version and reinstalling an add-in from this page (http://www.adobe.com/support/connect/downloads-updates.html) for Adobe Connect 8. That add-in at least allows me to launch my webcam, but it crashes 10-15 seconds later and Adobe Connect restarts.
    With the new add-in (the first one I referred to), the entire Adobe Connect session shuts down when I click to "allow" Adobe Connect to use my webcam. It never starts it at all.
    It's crashing with both internal and external cameras. It's more the clicking "allow" that crashes it, I think, because I've tried both. I prefer to use my internal camera on my new Asus laptop.
    And WOW, it DOES work as it should when launching in browser. Thank you for that piece of advice.

  • Upstream bandwidth req to run Adobe Connect w live video

    Is 3mbps enough upstream bandwidth to run Adobe Connect meetings for 6 - 12 attendees w live video?

    Here is the Connect 9 Technical guide. Average bandwidth consumption numbers are listed on the 2nd to last page. http://www.realeyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Adobe-Connect-9-Technical-Guide.pdf
    Assuming highest quality settings each user would need around a 500 kpbs upstream bandwidth. Other things to consider is if they are broadcasting VoIP audio (44 kbps) and/or sharing their screen 200+ kbps. So, I would suspect that a 3 mbps upstream connection will be sufficient for attending a Connect Meeting.
    However, you may want to consider that their downstream may be saturated pretty quick with the live video. Again, assuming highest quality setting (meaning you can tune it down and make the numbers more reasonable) a meeting with 6 attendees all broadcasting their live video would require 500 kbps upstream and 2.5 mbps downstream. A meeting with 12 would require 500 kbps upstream and 5.5 mbps downstream.

  • Flash Video problem on Adobe Connect 9

    Hi Folks
    having an issue I am hoping to get some light shed on - I am downloading content from an Adobe Connect 8 server and uploading to Adobe Connect 9 server in a seperate domain.  All has been working fine except for Flash Videos - anytime I upload a flash video (FLV) format and attemt to access it eitehr directly on the server or remotly get a grey screen.  Is there any particular add ons required to enable flash video to work with Adobe Connect 9 , using Flash 10, OS is Windows 2008 R2
    thanks in advance

    Nope. Looks good though and glad you got it sorted.

    I have tried to install it during the Connect session.  I have also tried to download and install separately.    I have disabled anti-virus each time.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash and the Connect Add-in.
    This happens on IE11 and Chrome with the add-in installed.
    Any ideas?
