Safari not playing streaming video

Hi,
For some reason safari 4.3 is not playing streaming video such as that shown on CNN. Also, my Macbook is not playing streaming audio. If any of you folks can help with an answer I'd appreciate the help. I am using 10.61 on both machines.
Thanks

  • New to Quicktime-Please Help-Not Playing Streaming Video

    _PLEASE HELP, I AM NEW TO THIS._ I can't see that Quicktime is playing streaming videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime including Perian and every other plug-in I can find. In System Preferences I have tried Automatic and Custom (Port 80) for the Transport Protocol. I have everything checked in the MIME settings. In Safari Preferences I have all the plug-ins enabled. The streaming videos play in Safari, but if I try to open ANY URL in Quicktime, it says URL INVALID. THANK YOU.

    I dont believe you can put a youtube link in quicktime itself. An easy way to download them however is to add &fmt=18 for HQ videos or &fmt=22 for HD videos to the end of the youtube url ex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRSbC6HAgNE&fmt=18 Then load that page and then in safari click window then activity. Find the one with the largest size (should be the only one in MB) and double click on it. THen it will download to where you set safari to download your files.

  • Safari will  not play streaming video or audio

    Hi everyone,
    I have had my iBook for a year and never even tried to take advantage of streaming video or audio b/c I had a dial-up connetion until very recently. Now that I have a high speed connection I would like to watch trailers and listen to music on myspace. I cannot watch trailers at www.apple.com/trailers/ or any video on myspace.com. Nor can I listen to music (I think they are xml files) on myspace.com. I'm currently running on Mac OSX 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Well I have the opposite effect here - the video plays fine on my MBP, yet not on my Intel iMac. On the iMac the video panel never appears. Rather tells me it needs Flash.
    Safari is the same on both systems (or at least that's what I think). No plugin blocks are present. To test if the Preference files might be causing the problem, On the iMac, I moved to the desktop from the Macromedia folder in ~/Library/Preferences folder the folder inside the SharedObjects folder. Restarted the system/Safari but the video still does not play.
    In the past, Layers magazine has not been a problem, however, I haven't viewed one for several months. Given what others have posted, there seems to be an oddity here that is not machine or Safari specific. I'll have to investigate more when I have time tomorrow.
    Try the Video from another user account. See if this is system-wide, or just specific to your user account. BTW, video played fine on the iMac in Firefox.

  • Safari 5 not playing streaming video

    I updated to Safari 5 a couple days after it was released. Just today, it has stopped playing streaming content, such as videos from hulu. The only suggestion I found was to change the User Agent to Safari 4.1, but this didn't help. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried resetting Safari? If that does not work try creating a new user account and test Safari with the new account. If the new account works it is possible that one of Safari's plist files is corrupt in your main user account.

  • Captivate 5 will NOT play streaming video from my Flash Media Server

    Recently I have begun attempting to convert older projects to captivate 5. However, once I started loading the videos I quickly realized that they are not playing in captivate 5! I know that these videos stream from the server just fine as I have been running them with other products and I know that the paths are correct because I've been using a web player to test the paths of the videos that will not play. How do I get around the bugs in Captivate and get the video working?

    Looking at this issue, here is what I see:
    Looking at the source code from the URL you supplied
    http://www.uab.edu/smsfiles/video.cgi?OU=CEVS&VIDEO=AD_clip_setup.f4v
    Looks to me that the rtmp server has a different name than the one you provided: streamer: ["rtmp://wwwsms.it.uab.edu:1935/CEVS/"]
    Is the file truly an FLV or F4V?  Looks to me like it is a MP4.  [file : "AD_clip_setup.f4v-lo.mp4"]
    I think this will still boil down to getting the correct format for the URI.
    Just my thoughts.

  • Safari in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard does not play YouTube videos

    Recently Safari stopped playing youtube videos while Safari is in 64-bit mode. The entire page renders correctly; however the area where the video is supposed to play remains a black box without controls. I can watch video from other sites, or I can watch video from youtube if I use another browser like firefox. Additionally, I can go to the youtube video owner's channel and view videos there just fine. It's only when I try to view videos that use the "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" method of displaying a video using Safari in 64-bit mode that it fails to play -- it plays fine with Safari in 32-bit mode.

    @Annorax64: are you sure the problem is limited to the latest Flash Player? I'm pretty sure I was still running 10.1 when I first saw it, after getting an error "Safari Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in) quit unexpectedly."
    Upgrading to 10.2 didn't help.
    It's not !. Flash player 10.1 is no better (as you can verify by downgrading here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html)

  • Windows Media Player does not play Streaming me

    After installing All the Software for Audigy 2ZS Platinum. My Windows Media Player will not play any video streams from MSN or Yahoo. Is there any known conflict with any of the software or how can I make the software compatible with WMP v0 windows XP.

    Hi,
    Try the following to force Windows Media Player to re-build the Library Database.
    A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
    http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
    This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
    Make sure Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre are closed.
    Launch Free Commander, double click Users, double click 'your user name', double click Local Settings, double click Application Data, double click Microsoft and double click Media Player.  Delete all the files that have the extension .wmdb - do not delete any folders.
    Close Free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now begin to re-build the library database which may take a while, but when it has finished see if the movie files play Ok now.

    I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
    Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
    Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely.

    buckmacie,
    has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it?

    "I tried to change the settings in Quicktime Preferences in the streaming tab but it didn't change anything. Still getting the same problem."
    What changes did you do & did you restart your computer afterwards?
    Have you tried a different browser?
    Download the video & then view the Keynote. See if you experience the same issue.

  • Playing streaming video

    Can you play streaming video or is there the possibilty of an update that will allow you to play streaming video from a web site?

    Sorry for not posting the solution guys. Here it is.
    Follow the link in the error message we get when we try to watch the sportsline video without the necessary plug-in.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/WindowsMedia_Player#Missingplugin
    Then scroll to the bottom of the page and you'll see a bunch of links to plug-ins for Mac users. I don't remember which one I clicked on, but I know it was pretty easy to figure out, given the fact that I did. Good luck. I hope this helps.

  • Why my Ipad2 will not play rented video to a projector via vga adapter connection

    Hi, i want to know why my ipad will not play rented video to a projector using the apple vga adapter connector.  This is just basic mirroring and there should be no problem isn't it?  Please help.
    Thank you

    Technically, yes, it should be easy. However with rented videos you may be running into DRM (DIgital rights management) where you may not be allowed to play that video anywhere but on the iPad. The video could have a bit of programming in it that literally tells the HDMI or VGA output not to work.
    One way to test the connection, with your ipad's camera, shoot a short video and try to mirror that. If it mirrors and the movie doesn't then it's likely that you're simply not allowed to mirror it. If it doesn't play then there may be something wrong hardware or setting wise.
