Safari as RSS Reader and Embedded Videos

I'm trying to slim down the amount of extraneous software on my computer and would like to begin using Safari 4 as my RSS reader. But, a lot of my favorite web feeds have posts containing embedded youtube videos or other multi-media besides pictures. I've been unable to ascertain whether this is because Safari does not offer this capability or if the problem is on my side.
Just to clarify, I DO know that I can view these posts individually from the feed site and view the videos; but I would like to be able to open a feed in the "feed://" view and watch embedded media.
Any help or insight?

bump.

Mail RSS Reader and videos???

Hi
Like most people I use mail to browse rss feeds and it works great, however it will not allow you to play videos without opening a article in safari. I know other rss readers allow this such as net news wire, however they do not support the full mac track pad functions.
Is there a way to mod mail so it will play videos in the rss feeds?
Cheers

When I enter this URL into the browser....
http://web.me.com/drieke.tom/
... I get your Test/Welcome page
This means that the index.html existing in Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites is for that site.
To get to this site....
http://www.consideratcaravanserai.net/Considerat/Home.html
.... I have to enter....
http://web.me.com/drieke.tom/Considerat/Home.html
This means that you have the wrong index.html file in Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
You can either publish to a local folder and upload the correct one by drag and drop or open the folder "Considerat" on your iDisk, copy the index.html file inside it and then paste it into Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites to overwrite the one that's there.
I don't have a clue about RSS as I don't use it. If nobody answers here, post anew topic.

HT5275 Why did this update eliminate Safari's RSS reader function? Grrrrr.

So, I have a number of RSS sources in a folder titled "News" in my bookmarks bar. I select it and am able to either go to individual RSS source or "View All RSS Sources" (which I use all the time) or open all in tabs (this one's not a good idea!). After updating, the "View All RSS Sources" is gone as Safari no longer has an RSS reader function. Too bad (and I really mean that!) and seemingly unaccounted for if I call APple for assistance... just "No Safari RSS reader in the update. Oh, and there's no way to go back!"
I use "View All RSS Sources" twice daily (at least) because it is adjustable... my list is sorted by Unread, and it highlights those. Very convenient! An excellent function... no in the dumpster! Grrrrrrrr!
Anyway, now I cannot do this function on my MBP w/Mtn Lion (update to Safari included in the update to Lion) or on my Mac Pro w/Lion (I updated Safari automatically, then found the "improvement"). So now my mini is not going to be updated until I am able to find an outside app that'll give me this function back. And no more buying upgraded minis, either. Grrrr.
Anyway, anybody know why the function was removed in the update?
ADDED POST POSTING: it appears I've lost spellcheck while using an outdated version of Safari

Hi,
Another thing you can try is this:
- Quit Safari
- Open up a Terminal window (via Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app)
- Type <pre>dscacheutil -flushcache</pre> and then press the Return key
- Restart Safari
What that does is flush the local DNS cache on your machine. DNS is how computers convert human-readable names (i.e. www.apple.com) into IP addresses (17.112.152.32) that computer networks use to resolve machine locations.
No guarantees this will work, but it's worth a shot.

Safari's RSS Reader Issue.

Mobile Safari's built in RSS reader no longer works properly with the back button.
Previously when in a feed you could tap any story.. go in and read that story... then tap the back button to return to the feed.
This is no longer working for me. Now when in a feed I tap a story... it loads up that story fine... but when I tap the back button it always leaves the feel and goes back to the page before the RSS feed.
Is anyone else having this same issue?

this started for me to as of the last update. It's a glitch that I hope gets solved in the next update.

Does iOS 7's Safari Convert Youtube Flash and HTML5 Videos to Quicktime? How Is it Playing?

Hi. It's good to see Safari (I have iOS 7) playing videos on sites like Youtube. Is it converting Flash and HTML5 to Quicktime or is the video playing because it's only using HTML5? How does Safari go about playing Youtube and Flash videos? Apple has solved the Flash for mobile problem then?
Thank you. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/ great week.
God bless.

there is no flash for mobile problem since adobe has discontinued flash for any mobile device.
Safari is not converting anything.
HTML5 facilitates streaming video in a format that ios devices can natively play(mp4).
Youtube/google is putting stuff up in html5.

Importing Power Point and Embedding Video in Captivate Question

I am new to Adobe Captivate, but I have heard the following:
1)     I can import a power point slide directly into Captivate 5.5.
2)     I can add a action buttion that when click, can play a short video embedded within one of the slides.
My objective is:
1)     When I click that action buttion, I want to play that short video embedded within one of the slides.
2)     Each slide will have an action buttion, and embedded slide of video (different video).
3)     When the video is completed, it returns back to display the original slide
4)     The user can just look at the slide and just move to the next slide without showing the video.
To accomplish this in Captivate 5.5, can I do this ?
1)     I understand that one must place a button on the converted slide and also embed the video to another slide. This is done by using the tool bar.
Is it possible to do this using programing scripts or anything ???    I would have a many slides to do, and I would like to automate this process.
I would appreciate any suggestions and help.
Thank You,
G

Hi Eddie
You will be able to use the Adobe Captivate he has option in
order that you bring PowerPoint, videos in flv for inside him and
to go out how swf

Images on Tumblr and embeded videos won't show up

The image/gif problem is only on Tumblr (as far as I saw), but it's as if the images weren't even there. (the way I see it, it only happens when I'm browsing through someone's tumblr, but when I enter a tag every picture showes, and on my dashboard as well). when I press reload, it reloads the entire site without the pictures. I tried a link on internet explorer and google chrome: it showed the pictures on IE, but not on GC. At first I thought it was because I didn't update firefox, but it showed up even after I updated everything (including adds-on). I also cleared my cookies and cache, and tried other things but nothing worked.
Embedded videos won't show up anywhere.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions" or all domains via the about:permissions page
*check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Safari crashing in Pogo and some videos & ads

I am having a problem with Safari crashing. I have Googled and searched Mac forums for months now. There seem to be many people with crashing Safari problems but after trying all the troubleshooting suggestions I’ve read, have still not been able to solve it. Pogo has no answer other than use a PC.
Configuration:
PowerMac Dual 1.25GHz, 2GB RAM, dual WD 300GB drives, Dell 20” Display. Leopard 10.5.4, Safari 3.1.2 (5525.20.1). Software Update is run weekly, so all is current.
Problem:
Mostly it crashes while playing games on Pogo.com, but will also crash when trying to play a video clip. Seldom if ever on YouTube, but often on videos from news sites (can’t recall a specific site at the moment). I can generally browse, search and research for hours on end until I come upon a web page with a certain kind of video or flashy ad, which will more than likely cause a crash. A restart seems to help for a little while, but not for long.
Memory & Settings:
In Activity Monitor/System Memory, nothing appears to continually grow or get unusually large. With game in process, Safari shows use of 91.19MB Real and 1.04GB Virtual Memory. Summary at bottom shows 1.26GB free right now with Safari, Word, Console & Activity Monitor open. Safari is set to remove downloads at close, open to blank page, clear RSS daily, enable plug-ins, Java and JavaScript, DB storage set to 5MB but have tried 0MB. I have a lot of bookmarks, but have tried removing all but 1 or 2 and that made no difference. Java Prefs shows v1.4.2 and v 5.0 loaded with 5.0 as primary.
Testing & Fix Attempts:
The Mac passes all tests on the Apple Hardware Test Disc, Disk Utility and DiskWarrior every time they are run. Some of the other things I’ve tried: Prefs rebuilt, Safari history and caches cleared, reset Safari, com.apple.kernelcaches (folder in /System/Library/Caches) and Extensions.kextcache (file in /System/Library) deleted as recommended, removed Logitech’s Scroll Enhancer from InputManagers (now empty), no other Enhancers installed, Flash Player uninstalled and version 9.0.124.0 reinstalled, reinstalled several OS and Safari updates from downloads, opened new user account.
Alternative Fix Attempt:
Giving up on fixes, I cleared off my second drive and did a fresh install (and reformat) of Leopard off of my Retail Version disc. After the install, I booted onto that drive and immediately started playing on Pogo. It’s the quickest place to get a crash. I was able to play for 2 hours before Safari crashed. I sent in my report to Apple and went back to Pogo. 5 minutes later, another crash. Reported and back to Pogo. This third time, Safari crashed while the game window was trying to open. The game used in testing is a simple solitaire game called First Class Solitaire, but just about any will get the same results. Remember, at this time nothing had been installed on this drive but the original Leopard install. No updates. No other software. No migration of my documents or previous settings. I had not even made any prefs changes. Before installation, I made a point of unplugging everything but the monitor and the wired keyboard and mouse that came with the Mac. I continued to update (from downloads) to the current OS versions and security before installing any 3rd party software and the Safari crashes persisted.
I got a MacBook Pro (Intel) in December and it sits on the opposite corner of my desk from the PowerMac. I don’t have any problems with it at all. As a matter of fact, I don’t believe that Safari has ever crashed on it. Both feed wirelessly off of the same router.
I no longer have any of the crash reports from the fresh install, because I let Leopard Cache Cleaner do it’s thing and it wiped them all out. I do have 20 crash reports and 6 hang reports from 7/12 to 7/30/08. I don’t know what are the important parts to send, but a condensed version of 5 different crashes is listed below. The first two are the most common.
I apologize for the length of this post, but I’m at my wits end. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You for your time and consideration.

Adobe reader and the video card

We are experiencing an issue on a couple of PC's with a pdf created in Adobe Pro 9. It appears that when the PDF is opened the video graphics card is affected. Colors and images do not display properly. The only resolve is to remove the PDF document causing the problem. Has anyone had this same issue and how did you resolve it?
Thanks

Hi fabiangs,
I'm not sure that I follow. Are you saying that when you open a PDF file in Acrobat or Reader, that the display resolution changes automatically on your system?
What version of Acrobat/Reader are you using? Do you see this same issue in other files/applications?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Also since the update I havent been able to go on sites such as youtube, mega video, etc with out my system crashing my laptop is only a year old *** is going on? any help would be great

Do you have the same CD/DVD and browser problem when you are logged in to a different user account? Can you boot your Mac with the System Restore DVD that shipped with it?

Default RSS reader option

What does the preference in both Safari > Prefs > RSS > Default RSS reader and Mail > Prefs > RSS > Default RSS reader do?
Until now I've been doing all my RSS in Safari, which is OK but not stellar.
Now that Mail supports RSS in 10.5, I'm experimenting with it there. But as far as I can tell, RSS feeds that are subscribed to in either app seem to get updated in either app. So what does the "default RSS feed" do?

Hi
When you open (expand) an RSS feed in either Safari or Mail, either Safari will go to the actual page (if set as the default), or a specific RSS Reader will open.

Vienna (rss reader) is having window problems

I use Vienna as my RSS reader and it does a fine job. It still works (mostly) since upgrading to Lion, but I have one problem. The normal behaviour is that I browse through articles in a preview pane and if I want to read a story, I hit the title line, and it opens a tab with the whole web page. Since Lion, though, it will open the tab, but only show what will fit inside the preview page window and will not scroll down to show the rest of the story. Anybody have any experience or ideas? TIA

Embedded videos won't play in Safari on iPhone 5 iOS 8.02

All of a sudden I can't play any embedded YouTube videos in safari from my iPhone 5. I think the issue started when I upgraded to iOS 8.02.
I can see the screenshot of the video, and the red and white play button in safari, but it isn't clickable. I can click on the word youtube in the upper right hand corner of the picture and it will launch the YouTube app and then the video will play from the YouTube app, but never from safari anymore.
I've tried closing the safari app, clearing safari history, resetting the iphone, downloaded Google chrome, and even tried to use my RSS reader to view the webpage. They all do the same thing, and none will let me click the play button to watch the embedded video.
Anyone have any ideas? This is driving me crazy! Thanks!

After some messing around, I found out that I can't press the red/white play button on the middle of the picture. For some reason, that isn't clickable anymore. Instead, if I press anywhere on the picture preview except for the red/white play button, then the video will play fine.
I Don't remember having to do that before, but at least I can watch embedded videos again.
