Safari 8 does not properly load and play any mp4 video

My Safari 8.0.3 on my OS X 10.10.2 does not actually load and play any MP4 video in-browser. All I see is the black loading bar.
I have not installed any video codecs on my OS X, nor have I tinkered with any QuickTime settings.

Perhaps a third parrty Safari add on that was compatible with the prior version of Safari but not 5.1 that's preventing pages to render as they should.

After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up.

I am using MacBook Air with Yosemite OS. After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up. Could you please give me suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thank you

That's a bit vague, but you may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

My E71 doesn't play any mp4 video clip

hey guys, my E71 doesn't play any mp4 video clip.. Someone tell me what should i do? Plz guys... I'm waiting 4 ur reply.

According to the Multimedia section at http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/E71/ , your phone should support some mp4's. But the solution is to get a better video player. There is always Coreplayer, which is supposed to be very good, but which I have never used, and is not free. A poster here /t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/Nokia-E5-viewing-videos/td-p/1160745 recently recommended the free Divx player. Worth a try.

Agentca does not detecte listeners and ASM - any experiences ?

Hi all,
I run agent10g PSU2 at Solaris Sparc with os account oracle
When running agentca -d ....
it discovers neither ASM-instances nor Listeners running with os account grid.
RAC-Databases, host and database instances are discovered in a correct way.
Did You ever experience and fix it?

Ralf

Hi ,
It normally happens due to permission issue when agent is installed with a different user other than database owner.
In that case you can discover them manually through the console.

AIR for iOS.. best strategy to play 100MB+ MP4 videos?

Hey all,
Is anyone able to play a 100MB+ MP4 on iPad1? Whether StageVideo, StageWebView, etc? StageVideo starts to bog to death at about half way (netStatus reports buffer empties and it never regains). Trying to URLLoader download crashes the app (trying to play it local). StageWebView crashes outright. Standard NC/NS/Viideo classes fail to even start playing.
100MB just too tall of an order for iPad1?
Even loading the mp4 directly in safari on 50mbit inet/wifi N can't keep up. iPad2/3 works perfectly.
I used Madagascar 3 trailer recompressed to 1024x576 @ 23.976 MainConcept MP4 to test.
Does your iPad1 load and play this smoothly in safari?
http://www.filehorde.com/o/1.mp4
Thanks for tips.
Note: What isn't working is buffer events. If I check buffer length its always 0. I do get an empty event but unlike a PC where I can throw up a buffering message and pause playback, iOS just goes unresponsive. I can't recover.

Thanks for trying it.
That particular MP4 was encoded using a trial version of Adobe Media Encoder CS6. I don't have CS6 or access to it at the moment but I always otherwise use Sorenson Squeeze (8.5 atm). It encodes MP4s using MainConcept H.264 and AAC audio.
AME6 encoded that test video I have linked with H.264 as well (not sure who's codec) and AAC at a data rate of 6Mb/s. That's a very aggressive movie but that's what I wanted, to test the max limits.
Anyhow point is, it plays just fine on the iPad1 up until about half way using StageVideo. So yes, you can play H.264 over HTTP, it doesn't need to be local.
Unfortunately all I've been able to do to solve my problems is use smaller resolution video and compress it a ton more. It's amazing how I almost can't break the iPad2 (forget 3) but the iPad1 breaks every time even with a tiny 40MB video.

Safari does not load google or any web page related to google

Hello everybody.
Safari does not want to load google or any web page related to google (youtube, gmail, etc.). However, other webpages work just fine. I am connected to the internet.
I had this problem back in June. I went back home (where google worked) and when I came back to my boarding school, I could not access any of the sites mentioned above from my school's internet. Summer vacation arrived, I left the school got back home where google became once again accessible. Now I am back in my school. Google worked well until 2 hours ago. I do not know what is happening.
I have tried to reset safari but it did not do anything. Firefox can't load google also.
I run the last version of Leopard (10.5.8).
Please help me!!

Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.

Comcast just replaced my cable modem/wireless router. All devices connect properly except my iPhone 4. It shows itself to be connected to the network, but it does not load any web page. Resetting the iPhone does not solve the problem. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your response.
I had rebooted the router (several times, actually), to no avail.
I do not know the answer to whether MAC filtering is enabled on the router. Have tried to find info about that, but unsuccessfully. Router is an Arris TG852G, supplied by Comcast. I would be surprised if MAC filtering were the issue, since in addition to the computer, we have successfully connected several other devices to the wifi, namely an iPad, a Android phone and a Kindle Fire - all able to access internet pages through the wifi, and all without a need to add the device to a MAC address whitelist. To add to the mystery, the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone 4 to my network and access web pages. He was unable to connect my iPhone, however, after trying for some time.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that an iPhone cannot connect to a wireless "n" router, only "b" or "g". The Arris router is described as a n/g/b compliant router, and as noted the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone, so don't know why that would be the issue here.
By the way, my iPhone does connect wirelessly to my network at home. This difficulty is at a second home.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

OS X Lion--Safari does not load pages. Updated OS X Lion and Safari does not function

I updated to OS X Lion and now Safari does not load any pages.

Actually there would be more than two possible reasons, but I appreciate your input. To answer your questions, YES and YES. All other machines and devices in the vicinity als work flawlessly though have not been upgraded (?) to Lion.
After the install of Lion, Safari stopped working. It loads a page OK then with no movement on my part it goes to a grey screen with the indicated message. I force a reload and it may or may not work, then suddenly goes to the same grey screen again. Over and over again. I haven't lost connection, not have I lost DNS connectivity. The program after upgrade has failed and Safari is telling me in a manner which I have never seen before that it cannot load the page, despite the facxt that it has already loaded and then lost on its own. When I boot from a backup Snow Leopard Disk it reverts to a functional system with Safari Ok. I have removed all remnents of Safari and restored with same problem.
Of course, one cannot go back from Lion and Safari 5.1 will not install on Lion so the problem would seem to be uniquely particular to the upgrade as repeated by many others on the net.
I'm open for suggestions but not accepting the possibility of a software glitch is no help.
Thanks again,

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

Sometimes my ipod does not down load my entire library when I sync up with itunes, even if I have items loaded in the play list and can see them in the play list in my itunes when I check my ipod play list some items are missing part 1 will be there but part two is not. Why?????

How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

Safari does not play movie stream

Does anyone have any idea why Safari does not play the movies on the web page
http://www.3sat.de/delta/
You can find them under "Web-TV" (you have to click a little bit until a small window opens which has a button called "video starten" at the bottom right).
I believe the movies are reaplayer video streams.
Needless to say that the movies work just fine in Firefox ...
Any ideas, hints, pointers will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Hello Gabriel,
The video does play for me in a popup window via realplayer.
it also has the option to open in WMP.
Web TV
It will not play in realplayer itself, when i click for it to play in real Player this
Server alert
Unable to locate server. This server does not have a DNS entry. Please check the server name in the URL and try again.

Safari is also picky about code, this one is not the poorest & it does work for me so it seems something is interfering in your user account or computer,.
Have you tried the site in a test account if not that would be telling.
Let us know if it works there.
