Re: Windows message on Adobe Media Player.Ink

Please forgive if this is the wrong Forum but I am having a difficulty accessing a correct one!!
Although using Adobe Reader, etc I am getting a popup window stating "The drive or Network connection that the shortcut 'Adobe Media Player.Ink ' refers to is unavailable.Make sure the disk is properly inserted or the network server is available.'
I have no such disk.No shortcut and I cannot delete the message on screen.
What is the solution ?
Also, I searched my files. There are 100+ ADOBE file/folders including some referring to foreign countries (Korea,etc.) Do i need to keep these in my Folder record ?
I would appreciate your help. Ed Culley

IMHO, Adobe Media Player is one app that nobody in adobe responds to and at the moment is pretty useless. Whenever I install my adobe apps, I just uncheck Adobe Media Player. It's as useful and a mosquito.

Adobe Media Player on Windows Taskbar

Adobe media player is showing up on windows taskbar as empty space, and it cannot be removed (as seen in above picture, hilighted with red retangle box). No instance is running, and I have never pinned it to taskbar while this happens.
When I pinned it to taskbar from the context menu, the media player will show at another space (see image above).
Is there a way to remove this annoying empty space from the taskbar?

Adobe Media Player Corrupted? Won't uninstall or update.

Windows XP, Adobe Media Player 1.1. I try to uninstall through the control panel and get a dialog box with unreadable characters, then an error message pops up. After clicking OK the uninstaller backs out and closes.(http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/5913/adb1.jpg).
I try to replace and uninstall through Adobe Media Player website (http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/). Both Replace and Uninstall fail and results in an error (http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/2964/adb2.jpg).
Uninstall and Replace result in: "Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed. Try installing it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author." (http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1862/adb3.jpg)

I have the exact same issue - but the funny thing is that it is only on my iMac - my MacBook Pro is fine and they both have 10.7.2 and the same latest Flash Player, so I think it might be a hardware problem to be honest.
Ever since upgrading to Lion my iMac has been that way - my MacBook Pro had the problem with the first update from Adobe but after the second update of the Flash Player everything is fine on the MacBook Pro.
How old is you MacBook Pro?

When I enter the players homepage at http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/ I see the following statement:

In addition, as of November 25, 2010, Adobe Media Player will no longer be available for download from Adobe.com.

Adobe Media Player disappeared

Hi
I have recently transferred my files to a new Windows XP computer and uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Air and Adobe Media Player. I recently also downloaded Windows XP Service Pack 3. My computer shows that AMP is installed but when I click on it to play a file nothing happens. It does not open. Any ideas why I can launch it?

Cannot uninstall Adobe Air & Adobe Media Player won't work...

When I try to uninstall Adobe Air (version 1.0), I get an
error which tells me to contact my Administrator... well, I am the
Admin and there is no other user on this computer (Windows XP).
Does anyone have any idea as to how I can effectively and
completely uninstall this application? Also, my version of Adobe
media Player does not work as it is apparently not compatible with
the current version of Air... Can anyone help, please?

Please try enabling installer logging to get a better idea of
why the uninstall is failing. If you can post that log, I should be
able to help further. See
http://blogs.adobe.com/simplicity/2007/10/air_installer_logging.html
for instructions.

Adobe Media Player download stalled

I've been trying to download Adobe Media Player. I go through all of the password entering and let it install Adobe AIR as it said it needed that to support the player. The download window comes up saying it's "installing application" but the progress bar doesn't even start. Is there a way to download the installer and install the program manually? Has anyone else run into this problem?

I've got the exact same question!
Also, what is the latest version of Adobe Media Player? I have version 1.1? I saw a google result tht said version 1.7?
What version do you have?
1.1 on my mac says it can't play any of Adobe's content. I've had it open all day and it hasn't notified me of any available updates. Using the help menu sends me to a 404 page on help.adobe.com
If I visit this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/
and click "GET ADOBE MEDIA PLAYER" all it does is launch the version I already have instead of letting me download the file.

Is there some way one can change the port used by Adobe Media Player?

After I installed Adobe Media Player I am unable to access my IIS web site. Is there a way to hook-up Adobe Media Player to another port? I guess the problem started after installing Adobe Media Player.

http://hodentek.blogspot.com/2009/04/adobe-media-player-internet-information.html

Because I've my original response I've been getting email updates about this topic and decided to install Adobe Media Player and test myself.
On my main system (Windows XP SP3) IIS is not blocked when installing and running Adobe Media Player. I suspect your problem may be related to something else entirely. (Flash Media Server or frankly any other httpd could cause the issue you're experiencing). (I can watch videos with the player and concurrently debug websites using http://localhost, http://localdomain:80 as well as http://localhost:80
I'd try to pin down exactly when the problem started happening and see what was installed. It's also worth noting that there are a lot of malware programs that monitor / intercept and direct traffic on port 80, this can cause all sorts of havoc on XP with IIS.
If you happen to find that it is indeed Flash Media Server, their forums are here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_media_server
Just my 2 cents

Playback Failed This media file format is invalid or not supported by Adobe Media Player.

What is this? i've installed air and media player and most of the content ends with this alert:
Playback Failed
This media file format is invalid or not supported by Adobe Media Player.
what is wrong? do i need some codecs or something?
please, HELP!
kynades
PS day after i've tried play regular flv and got this mesage:
Playback Failed
There was an error while playing this video.
Some video errors can be fixed by clicking the back button and playing the video again.
i assume this Adobe media player is just another piece of ****. sad.

"DITTO".
JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH ADOBE MEDIA PLAYER (AMP) AND OTHER RELATED PRODUCTS!
INSTALLATION ERRORS!
UNINSTALL ERRORS!
SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY GONE AMUCK AND GOOFY WITH THIS OUTFIT.
IT IS JUST THE LOUSIEST AND SHABBIEST WAY THE ADOBE MAKES ITS SHAMEFULLY LOW QUALITY (SOFTWARE???) PRODUCTS.
MOST EVERYTHING, ALMOST NEVER WORK RIGHT.
JUST A TERRIBLE WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME AND EFFORTS.
ADOBE SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME JUST ANOTHER VENUE PUSHER FOR INTERNET SPAM AD-PUSHERS.
SAD.
VERY SAD.
I AM GOING TO DE-INSTALL EVERY DAMNED ADOBE SHABBY SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
TOO MUCH HASSEL.
TOO MUCH WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME AND EFFORTS.
** NOTE **
FIND OTHER RELIABLE SOFTWARE FIRMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED *.FLV FILE PLAYERS -- FOR THE TIME BEING -- UNTIL ALL *.FLV FILES HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO *.MWV OR SOMETHING THAT WORKS FLAWLESSLY.
THE *.FLV FILES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ALL OF THE INTERNET WEBSITES AS UNSTABLE AND SHABBY.
AND SAY GOODBYE TO ALL SHABBY, LOUSY, ROTTEN ADOBE PRODUCTS.
IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT LAZY, DEAF, DUMB, BLIND FOLKS (WITH PANTS AROUND THE ANKLES) AT THIS SHABBY OUTFIT ARE NOT GOING TO WORK HARD ENOUGH TO EVER PRODUCE QUALITY PRODUCTS.
SO, SAY GOODBYE TO IT AND ITS SHABBY PRODUCTS AND FIND ALTERNATE RELIABLE, QUALITY SOURCES THAT MEET OUR, THE CUSTOMERS, NEEDS.
IF YOU READ THIS OUTFIT'S GOOFY LICENSING TEXT, IT CLEARLY STATES THAT: ". . . IT DOES NOT WARRANTY THE OPERABILITY, OR MERCHANTABILITY, FOR ANY INTENDED PURPOSES . . .".
MEANING, EVEN THIS OUTFIT ITSELF DOESN'T BELIEVE IN THE QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE OF ITS OWN SHABBY PRODUCTS.
IMAGINE THAT, FOLKS.
WHAT OTHER PROOF ANYONE NEEDS THAT THIS OUTFIT MAKES THINGS THAT YOU THINK WOULD WORK.
WHAT A JOKE.
ACTIONS:
WEB SEARCH FOR:
*.FLV PLAYERS, OTHER THAN ADOBE.
*.FLV FILE CONVERTERS.
WHAT A GOOFUS.

Can no longer view video files in Adobe Media Player!!

For some reason I can no longer view video files in Adobe Media Player.
My computer has reverted all my files into one Adobe Flash Player document.
Any help with this would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the exact same problem can anybody help us?? But I can not loose any of my videos as I have loads of videos on my college work on student loans without cosigner and it would take me forever to do them again.

I have a mac computer. I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.

Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps.

How can I change the port for Adobe Media Player?

After instaling Adobe Media Player I lost my IIS. AMP has hijacked my port 80. Now how could I alter configuration so that AMP will use a different port.
I have many programs configured for Port 80 and I dont want to go and change all of the hardcoded ports in Javascript and CSS files.

These tools you are talking about, did you configure the tnsnames for them?
If you plan to change the default listening port, you need to modify the listener.ora file under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
After 9i, Oracle has service registration
A feature by which the PMON process automatically registers information with a listener. Because this information is registered with the listener, the listener.ora file does not need to be configured with this static information.
You can try to run one listener, see if both instances can register themselves in even they are different versions.

Adobe Media Player does not show day 5

On my computer, the Adobe Media Player does not show day 5. Shows days 1 through 4.
Also on Day 4, trying to view the video "Create States and How to bind them"
I get a "corrupt file" error when trying to watch using the Adobe Media Player...
Also will someone please give a clear statement how to do a download of the files so
we can watch them off line. This still isn't clear to me.
I don't know what Craig is talking about below: How does that relate to downloading the
files.
The new instructions and feed links are now live on the Flex in a Week video training home page:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining/
Please try them out!
Thanks,

Thank you very much Craig for your help.
For some reason that section on Flash Builder in a Week;
+ Want to view Flex in a Week videos in offline mode?
was not displaying on my browser page. I re-installed java and it now seems to work all ok, and it along
with your advice addresses the issue.

Adobe Media Player bug, 2 years on.

I note on the Adobe Develop site for Flex tutorials, the company states:
Want to view Flex in a Week videos in offline mode? Follow these steps:
Install Adobe Media Player.
Click the My Favorites menu at the top.
Click Add RSS Feed at the bottom.
Copy and paste this URL: http://sessions.adobe.com/FlexInAWeek/feed.xml
I complete the above steps, then download a selection of the videos to view offline.
I go have a coffee and come back. The videos have disappeared.
I repeat the download process, after 30 minutes the videos disappear.
I repeat the download process, after 1 hour, all but two of the videos disappear. The last two disappear 30 minutes later.
I repeat the download process but this time do a copy of the cache folder in
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Media Player\Local Store\cache
When the application has deleted the files, I can open my copy of the cache folder and double click to watch the original flv.
I now realise that this problem has been reported since 2007 but Adobe continues to re-issue versions of this player with the same stupid behaviour and they do not comment on this behaviour. They also continue to offer the player for viewing their published videos offline despite the fact that half way through viewing one video the next episodes may disappear in the interim?
Why?
I now use a third party product to download and save the above videos for VIEWING OFFLINE as Adobe state. Howeve I cannot use the Adobe Media Player to view ANY of their own content, while this issue remains.

IMHO, Adobe Media Player is one app that nobody in adobe responds to and at the moment is pretty useless. Whenever I install my adobe apps, I just uncheck Adobe Media Player. It's as useful and a mosquito.
