Safari crashes with Windows media player and pdf files

My Safari beta 3.0.3 crashes when I access windows media player files or pdf files. I am running 10.4.10. I tried to go back to Safari 2 but the installer did not let me because of the 10.4 version.

You may want to try installing the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0.x, as this resolved the issue for me. Download the Acrobat Reader Install app. shut down all browsers, uninstall all older versions of Acrobat Reader (unless you really want to keep them), then install the version 8.x version. You may need to restart your computer too. After Safari 3 has the plug-in from Acrobat Reader 8.x in use, you are not likely to have any more PDF issues.

  • Media Playback With Windows Media Player and Quicktime

    I just bought a mac book. Is there any way to have quicktime not the default player or to have it bring out the video from the safari window. because there are some sites that i go to and it just starts playing quicktime inside the browser video but i want it big in its own window. and is there anyway to just have the video play without the download box come up and just have the video play in whatever player without manually going to the hard drive and choosing which program to open the video with? thank you for any help

    Microsoft AVI with codec set to None.
    Or you can install the free Lagarith or UT codecs.  Both work very nice with PP.  Both use lossless compression, so you won't lose any quality, but will get smaller files (especially when using a YUV mode).

  • Problems with Windows Media Player and flash

    It seems that since I've installed Itunes, whenever I try to play a video on a website, it will only go 3 seconds and then pause. This happens on streaming videos as well as things that are on YouTube and the like.
    Do you think it's related? Any ideas?
    Also, it seems that sound is now disabled when I try to play audio off of those clips too. I do most of my browsing with Mozilla, but it appears to do the same in Explorer.
    Do I need to update drivers or something?

  • Safari with Windows Media Player cannot use PHP as filename/src/url

    I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 with Windows Media Player 11
    and Safari 3 public beta. In addition to being the absolute
    slowest browser among MSIE, Firefox, Netscape, and Opera, the
    Safari browser has two annoying WMP defects.
    1) Even with WMP 11 installed, the code below for embedding
    can use either the classid for WMP v6.4 or v7+ but Safari
    (or rather it's plugin) always displays a v6.4 looking UI.
    All other browsers display the media player using the v11 UI
    2) Safari will not download the movie if the "filename" param
    is a web url (e.g. getmovie.php?select=1234 ) rather than the
    precise name of the movie file itself (e.g. "movie.wmv"). The
    other browsers may differ in use of the param name="xxxx", where
    xxxx is "filename" or "src" or "url" or "data" ... but Safari
    will not work using any of these.
    Has anyone successfully embedded a WMP object that uses the
    URL as a PHP page (or other server-side script) ? I have already
    my server-side PHP code that works perfectly for MSIE, Firefox,
    Netscape, and opera. Safari is the only problem browser.

    I have run into several issues pointing to what you are describing...
    I fixed my Safari by installing the WMP plugin. I am able to view visualizations embedded into a webpage, one of which I created...I am able to view videos and so on.. Before I installed the plugin, All that would load is a place holder which looked like the old WMP and would not function properly. However this is what is displayed beside the media which is embedded.
    I think that I got the plugin by going to the download page for Safari and looking for plugins. Funny thing was that the plugin that I installed was the one for Firefox on its site that nobody every installs because Firefox gets the plugin if you already have WMP11 installed. Anyway this should solve your problem...with most..
    I have noticed just now that PHP served links or applications which launch in their own window and are protected by PHP script do work but still display a lack of functionality showing the Version 6.4 that you are speaking of. I checked it out using the KDGE Live Stream which opens another window, and displays version 11 properly ( in other browsers ), the link which is served is also protected and will close any media player that tries to play it on its own. It soley depends on the script which is coded into the page or window for the player. I can see this method as useful for a corporation as large and well advertised as ClearChannel Productions, because of the lack of bandwidth and cost to the company. Several sources do this and it winds up being an issue for the website administrator and designers to take care of, or update the script, or the person who has written the plugin, which could be from a number of resource; this particular instance would be the author of the WMP Plugin for Firefox.
    For any other purpose though the plugin I mentioned above should get rid of ( MOST ) of that problem.

  • Safari, Windows Media Player, and Proxy Servers

    I'm trying to watch streaming video of comedy central's Daily Show but its not working. I hit play and I get "-19422" in the play bar. I can't find anything about this anywhere online. I used to be able to do play these videos on my old computer but have had no success. It has to be in Windows Media Player format. I have Windows Media Player and have streamed from other sites. The only thing I have found is that the comedy central page requires a proxy to view streamng video. I have contacted my ISP and they say no such proxy is needed and I should be able to view the page. Am I suppose to guess on the proxy server? The comedy central site says it supports safari and apple computers but it doesn't seem like it. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any ieas for solving this problem?
    PS- This is what comedy central says.... Also my ISP is Time Warner Cable's RoadRunner
    "If you are on a Mac, make sure your Player is set to only use the proxy, and disable TCP or UDP checking as this will cause timeouts.
    If you choose the Use proxy option and do not know the proxy server name or port number you should use, contact your Internet service provider or network administrator. "

    Hi,
    The videos work fine for me with Safari 2.0.2 and OS X 10.4.3. The section of the help file you quoted appears to be referring to a corporate firewall setup rather than a typical home setup - you shouldn't need to change any of the defaults for Windows Media Player.
    A Google search for that error code you received mentions Flip4Mac in a couple of places - do you have that installed?
    If so, try disabling it to see if that is the cause of your issues.

  • I can't play movie downloads.  I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and Quick time but they don't work.

    I can't play i-tunes downloaded movies.  I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and quick time.  Nothing works.

    If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
    Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

  • BB 8220 Pearl Flip drops WiFi calls when synch music with Windows Media Player

    I noticed the 8220 crashes or drops calls if I synchronize a playlist of songs with Windows Media Player.  Strangely, if I simply shuffle the songs with no playlist, then I encounter less problems.  Is this because I don't have enough room on the media card after synchronization?  (I set a playlist and sychronize it as there are certain songs I do not wish to place on my phone.)
    I'm using: Windows XP, Windows Media Player version 11, Blackberry Desktop Manager version 5.0.1.

    I'll try to answer to some of your questions.
    The Media Card is according to the OS verison on the BlackBerry. The model doesn't really matter.
    Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx".
    Maximum capacities:
    BlackBerry Device Software Media Card Size Limit
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 -- Up to 2 GB

  • Problem with Windows Media Player since installing Firefox 4.0

    Problems with Window Media Player. When I am using Windows Media Player to view a video from another source I am having problems. When I hit pause and then go back to hit play it does not have any sound. The player is not on mute and it keeps going from pause to play with no sound most times. Please help. Thank-you. I have Windows Vista programs.

    What can I do to get the Windows Media Player to work properly?

  • Problem with Windows Media Player -- saving, transferring

    Operating system:   Windows 7 Home Premium       
    Product: HP Pavilion P6000 Series
    Windows Media Player
    Copy short videos onto a thumbnail drive from a different computer running Windows 7 with Windows Media Player.    Thumbnail drive accepts files, lists and can play back fine on same computer.    Take thumbnail drive to different computer also running/using Windows Media Player & Windows 7, and playback only plays back audio -- no picture.  What am I doing wrong? 

    As WMP is not a DVD player, my suggestion would be to tell your clients to never use WMP.All our DVD discs go out with a warning not to allow WMP to be used.
    In most computer setups, WMP does not play back video correctly as it does not have an MPEG codec installed, or has navigational problems.
    All computers that have a DVD drive fitted, will have a dedicated DVD software player installed, such as Win DVD or Power DVD, so why not use that?

  • XM Radio Help With Windows Media Player

    Does anyone know how to get XM Radio to work within Safari? The Windows Media Player plug-in tries to connect but never does. I tried the Flip4Mac plug-in and got the same non-result.
    I got the AOL radio player to work but it does not offer all of the XM channels.
    Quick Silver   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Well, I just signed up for a 3 day trial at XM and listened to a couple of songs through Safari. I'm not certain which version of Windows Media Player you have installed. If you don't have version 9 then head over to Microsoft and download it. If you do have try re-installing it and see if that helps.

    If you mean you subscribed to iTunes Match, you have to import your music into your iTuens library in order to add it to iTunes Match.  iTunes Match (and iCloud) only works with iOS devices and computers.  It won't work with your iPod Classic; you'll have to sync that with iTunes in order to add your music.

  • Windows Media Player and audio engine behavior

    I have made one LFX and one GFX module both residing in the same dll.
    I have noticed some strange behavior with windows media player which I don't understand.
    When playing back audio with WMP there are always two processes (image names) that loads my dll with APOs. One process called audiodg.exe and one called svchost.exe. My understanding is that my APOs would be loaded only by the audio engine which I belief
    is found in audiodg.exe.
    Is there any explanation of why WMP causes my APO dll to be loaded by two different modules (image names) at the same time?
    One of the reasons I'm asking is that I have problems getting my APOs working correctly with the tidal web player (tidal.com). I'm not sure what the problem is but I can see that my APO dll is loaded by two different modules (image names) at the same time,
    just like WMP.
    Thomas BE

    The "Windows Audio service" svchost.exe process is always running; you can check its current state via the "sc query audiosrv" command.
    >sc query audiosrv
    SERVICE_NAME: audiosrv
            TYPE               : 20  WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
            STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                    (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
            WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
            SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
            CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
            WAIT_HINT          : 0x0
    When someone calls IAudioClient::IsFormatSupported(...), your SFX is loaded into audiosrv to answer the query. Some media players call this, and some don't.
    When audio actually plays, audiosrv launches audiodg.exe. audiodg.exe builds the full audio pipeline from app to driver, including all of your APOs.
    Some time after audio stops playing, audiodg.exe shuts itself down.

  • Any problems with Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X?

    I want to be able to play video from CNN.com, but it says I need Windows Media Player 9. Before I download it, I want to know if it is reliable.

    Please share experiences with Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X so I can decide whether or not to download it.
    Thanks,

    The default application you're looking for is "Stuffit Expander".
    http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/ is the page you'll be looking for...think Winzip for Mac. Once stuffit is installed you should be able to open the .sitx or .hqx file you may have downloaded...essentially a package that stuffit can open for you so you can install media player.
