Safari won't play audio or video without stutters.

Console shows sandboxd - deny file-read-data errors at /Library/ScriptingAdditions as well as the same folder in my user directory. The error repeats non-stop (even when Safari is idle), approximately 50 messages per minute. PlugInProcess numbers change from 408 to 477 to 483.
11/30/13 12:44:03.424 PM sandboxd: ([483]) PluginProcess(483) deny file-read-data /Library/ScriptingAdditions
11/30/13 12:44:03.426 PM sandboxd: ([483]) PluginProcess(483) deny file-read-data /Users/(myusername)/Library/ScriptingAdditions
I use a few third party extensions but I disabled them, rebuilt permissions, checked for disk errors, nothing seems to help. Don't want to completely reset Safari unless that's the next natural step (if it might help).
Also I tried the same videos/audio in Chrome - no problems, no such entries in Console.
I'm on an iMac 27" intel core i5, 12gb memory, running Lion 10.7.5.
Can anyone help? Thank you.

Hi...
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3) < your profilel
I have a MacBook Pro running all the latest software
If your profile is correct, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update. The most recent Lion version available is v10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7
For troubleshooting Flash.
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
Spend $49 for what? QuickTime is pre installed on your Mac. If you are using HTML5, that can prevent Flash content from streaming.
For QuickTime. Check Safari > Preferences > Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari. Try a QT video.
Not sure if this will work for recent versions of Safari for mp3, but won't hurt to try > http://www.kalvster.com/macintosh/save-download-mp3-files-in-macintosh-safari.ht ml

IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

Safari won't play You Tube videos properly

No doubt this is likely related to the ongoing problems I've been having with Safari running Flash as covered in depth in this previous thread -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1790656&tstart=0
Klaus was very helpful in that thread and things got incrementally better - but not solved...it's still very slow compared to any other browser. So rather than re-hash everything that's already been done, I was just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem? The YT videos will load and play but they are all jerky and sputtering. Other browsers (Firefox etc.) all can play the same videos smoothly with no issues.
I don't have redundant Flash players in my HD Library Plug-Ins folder and User Library Plug-Ins - but I do have something called "UnityPlayer.plugin" in my User's that I'm not sure what it is...

Here is unity Player plugin.http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/unitybrowserplugin.html
Not sure if this anything to do with your problem

Premiere Pro CC won't play audio from video file

I've been trying to edit videos recorded with Bandicam in Premiere Pro CC. The video file itself is fine, when I play it in Windows Media Player it all checks out, but once I get it into a sequence in Premiere Pro CC despite it showing the audio track, and turning the volume to max, there's no sound! How do I get it to pick up the audio that I KNOW is there?

Bandicam read #10 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/954394 for possible hellp

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

Flash won't play audio. Please help!

To anyone who can help,
Flash won't play audio in Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc. Downloaded audio plays just fine but I can't stream any flash audio content. Does anybody have any solutions? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm experiencing the same problem on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. If I go to YouTube, I don't get audio. Other websites are fine (I'm not seeing a pattern on exactly which sites). What I had to do was uninstall Adobe Flash (I used the Adobe Uninstall utility). Now I have audio on YouTube, but now I'm getting a lot of 'missing plugin' messages from other websites. I've opened

Safari won't play embedded slide show in my website, when it has previously

Safari won't play an embedded slideshow in my website.
It has been working for several months. It still works with firefox, but as i am a preferred mac and safari user, it bothers me for other safari users who may visit my site.
website is www.paulwarrendesign.net
click on BIO
Click on the Prey link on the lefthand side. It opens, and when you use the play slide manually, you can see that the pics are there. For some reason the slideshow will not play.
Any ideas?

Hi Paul
as you may know - your website simply links to this page at theage.com.au
that page doesn't do much except load a Flash-based slideshow here
the slideshow is created by some software called "Soundslides" and there is a known bug ( now fixed it seems, but would require theage.com.au to put new versions of soundslider.swf on their system....or make some other changes to the way their servers deal with audio.
I guess you could innocently tell theage.com.au that their page fails on Safari ( also Opera and Realplayer for me ) & hope they fix it.... maybe even point 'em to the fix? .
ahem, err failing that, your only option 'd be to get your web guy to make the slideshow on your own website's server; although copyright over the images/sound might be an issue?. If you go that route, the basic soundslider software is pretty cheap ( US $40 ) from http://soundslides.com/ and instructions here
I should add that once you've got images/sound that you are entitled to use.... there are any number of free methods to make a similar slideshow.

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
BY THE WAY, KARLI--
PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264 encoded videos on my 10.4.11 MacMini

Hello:
This is my first post. I read through the forums and this seems to be the correct place to pose my question. If it's not, my apologizes.
I'm trying to find out why Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264-encoded video on my MacMini (G4 PPC). I'm running 10.4.11. I recently installed Perian 1.2.1 and it got some .avi files to play correctly, whereas before there was no sound. But the h264 files still get me a black screen, albeit with sound now. Some h264 files can be played in VLC Media Player (but that's a horrible player compared to Quicktime in my opinion, as it constantly drops frames and eats 100% of my processor time), but VLC even has the black screen problem on some h264 files as well.
I've also tried MPlayer OSX but that's really an alpha-type development and has a lot of bugs. Many movies it can't even open.
Sorry for the rambling, but again my question: Is there any way to play h264-encoded video in Quicktime 7.6.4 on my Mac?
Thanks in advance for your expertise and advice.

Mr Ram,
There is a group of Quicktime specialists in Apple.com ⇒ Support ⇒ Discussions ⇒ Quicktime .
The more data you give us, the easier it is to help us help you to diagnose your problem. Your disk space would be very useful. Contrary to some, I advocate iDefrag to assist VLC and MPlayer, which you were a little hard on.
GNU/Linux's free offerings
MPlayer was developed a decade ago, and I prefer it for viewing DVDs (for 'DVD Player') seems too dark. VLC (legally) copies many CRM-protected DVDs of yours, so you can play only the burned copy. When I'm having a problem playing a DVD, the VLC log tells me all: only perfect DVDs play well on VLC.
There are two ways of viewing everything.
Streaming MPEG-4
+H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ is a fancy codec based upon MPEG-4: it requires a powerful processor to de-compress it. I watched an MPEG-4 movie from a G3 iBook in 2005. It played flawlessly.
Your Problem
Quicktime 7.X applications can not play +H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ streams. It was a bug Apple never fixed. Frames are dropped because H.264 is so slow that it requires special hardware. You, I'm sad to say, don't have it.
To quote the Wikipedia on Quicktime: 'QuickTime 7 lacks support for H.264's Sample Aspect Ratio .[67] QuickTime X does not have this limitation; many Apple products (such as iTunes and Apple TV) still use the older QuickTime 7 engine.'
My Quicktime Pro on a PPC PowerBook is 7.6.4. You can either use a Linux transplant or upgrade to Quicktime X. Those more familiar with Macs may have better ideas for you.
My best,
Bruce

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails. What is wrong with it?

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails, even works fine with headsets. What is wrong with it?

well i'd seriosly say point a hot hair drier at the speakers as water has entered the phone most commonly via the home button but avoid getting it too hot let it cool every 3 minutes after constant drying. Don't worry I have honestly dont this with my iPhone 4 GSM 16GB. For future reference avoid letting it get wet.

How can I check to see if my version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 already has ProApps QuickTime Codecs installed? I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I'm asking because my computer can't seem to play ProRes 422 codec video without stuttering or skipping?

I have a fairly capable MacBook Pro (2.93 GHzIntel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and a 1TB HD -5400 rpm, so I am hoping it's not that my computer that can't support it and it's something more simple like not have ProApps QuickTime codecs installed. Thanks in advance!

If you can view a ProRes 4-2-2 video at all, then you either have the independent ProRes422 Playback component installed or the FCP "Pro" video components installed.

Check your "~/Library/QuickTime" folder for your various "Pro" components. If in doubt that you have them all, re-run the FCP installer and it should add any missing components, apps, or utilities.

AppleTV will only play audio, not video

Play audio in background without background mode key as audio in info-plist

My application requires background audio in some conditions but not always, say when a particular screen is active in that case, i want to play audio in background and for that i have specified background key for Audio in info-plist. But my app is not getting approved having following reason:
While your app has declared support for audio in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist, no audio is played when users switch to another application. The audio background mode is meant for applications with audio streams, like radio applications. You'll need to provide audible content to the user while the app is in the background or remove the "audio" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key.
so , is there a way for playing audio in background without specifying background mode key ? or app getting approved with this key mentioned ?
thanks in advance

Joe,
Check out this tutorial written by Michael Wong on this very topic. I think you will find his step by step explanations quite easy to follow...

Playing audio and video files in JSF (.wav,.mp3)

Hi,
I would like to know how to play audio and video files such as .wav,.mp3 in jsf .
could any one please post the code for playing the wav files.
Thanks,
Ram

There is no JSF component to do this, so you would have to write your own custom component to render an <object ...> element.
Or, you can use <f:verbatim> wrapped around an html <object ...> element.
