Shockwave player and proxy settings

Hi,
all clients our company must use a web-proxy to connect with the internet.
If anyone want to watch a stream with rtmp://....swf , nothing happens.
RTMP should work with port 1935 and fallback to 443, 80.
Problem: shockwave ignores the proxy settings from browser and Device. He tries to connect
directly without proxy, whitch is not working of course..
Are there any options to configure the proxy settings for Shockwave or is this a bug?
Thanks for any help!

I think you're looking for a Flash Player forum

Shockwave Player ignoring proxy settings?

For security reasons, ALL outbound user traffic is proxied.
In at least some situations, the Shockwave player appears to
ignore browser proxy settings and make attempts to go
directly to Internet sites on ports 80,443,1935. This is filling up
our
firewall logs making them less useful for real
troubleshooting. The client should always use the HTTP proxy and
NEVER
attempt direct connections to Internet hosts. Can we control
this behavior on the client in any meaningful way? I have read:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/firewalls_proxy02.html#
and what we're seeing appears to be default behavior. Surely
this can be controlled client side and we are not at the whim
of the way the client is called by HTML served up from who
knows?
For an example of this, see --this is a Viagra ad...sorry,
but this is the one I was able to track down;-):

I am running into the same issue with a few
sites...especially since the TCP timeout to realize that is has to
revert to a proxy is not conducive. I would think a client side or
registry setting would fix this, but cannot find where to change
that. Any ideas?

Why after downloading Shockwave Player and installing, a box showed close which was clicked on but I still cannot play game?

Adobe make many different things. In this forum we know about Adobe Reader (now called Acrobat Reader for about a week, it's a struggle to keep up sometimes). But you mention Adobe Shockwave Player. The forum for Shockwave Player is here -- Adobe Shockwave Player . Also be sure you aren't mixing it up with Flash Player, still a third product.

Shockwave Player and Safari

I was on a web site and received the message that to view certain content I would need to install Shockwave Player. I went to the Adobe site downloaded and installed the mac version. Everything seemed to install properly. When I went back to the site that I needed the player for I got a pop up message saying I needed to launch Safari in 32 bit mode. The problem is that when I click ok on this message Safari freezes, I can't relaunch it or close the window. So I force quit Safari from the Apple menu. If I then go to the finder and set Safari to open in 32 bit it will launch and display the content on that site properly. However I don't really want to keep Safari in 32 but if I don't, any site I go to that requires the player will now freeze Safari requiring me to force quit again.
So I ran the Shockwave uninstaller after which I can go to those sites but of course can't view the content but at least Safari doesn't freeze up. However I realized that at least that one site had worked in Firefox prior to my installing and uninstalling the player. Of course now even Firefox won't display that content since I've uninstalled it telling me I need a plugin but when I click that it tells me an applicable plugin cannot be found and that I will need to manually install one. Of course that would take me back to where I was with Safari freezing up on those sites unless it's already in 32 bit mode. I'm using Safari 5.0.1 on OS 10.6.4 Is there a way to rectify this short of always running Safari in 32 bit?

It seems you're stuck: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51273.html
Further, "As of July 2010, Adobe has not announced future plans for 64-bit native Shockwave Players."
I'm not sure it's worth installing it again. If it were just a matter of launching Safari in 32 bit mode I might do it if it were something I really wanted to see but since Safari always freezes after that pop up message requiring me to force quit, it seems like too much of a hassle to me.

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.

Itunes and proxy settings. Itunes keeps the proxy setting from IE and I can't adapt it due to company policy. How can I force itunes to use firefox?

itunes can not connect to server and I can't find its proxy settings.
So I think it uses these from IE and those are blocked by company policy.
So, how can I force itunes to use the firefox settings

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

Httpurlconnection and Proxy settings

hi all,
I wrote a servlet that uses an HTTPUrlConnection to get a page from a remote server and the code looks like this :
url = new URL(urlstr);
HttpURLConnection uc = null;
System.getProperties().put( "proxySet", "true" );
System.getProperties().put( "proxyHost", "[myproxyhost]");
System.getProperties().put( "proxyPort", "[myproxyport]);
uc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
The code works fine for the particular connection.
If I need to get another page though another connection that needs no Proxy settings, it doesn't work.
How can I deactivate the proxy settings between the two connections?
And, finally, how can I leave the System settings in the same state as before the code execution?
Thank you.
Nicola

You could trySystem.getProperties().put( "proxySet", "false" );to temporarily turn off the proxy settings. Or you could trySystem.getProperties().remove( "proxySet");
// and the other two similarlyto remove those system properties.

Bidirectional communication between Shockwave Player and embedding web page

Can the 3D content in a Shockwave Player object be
manipulated by JavaScript from its embedding web page somehow ?
That is can the Shockwave Lingo/JavaScript capabilities be
leveraged from OUTSIDE the Shockwave movie ? And can the Shockwave
movie call arbitrary JavaScript functions which are defined in its
embedding web page ?

ActiveX UAC and Proxy Settings via GPO

Hi there,
Wondering if anyone can help.
I am experiencing the following issue when trying to load ActiveX control without UAC prompts for standard users.
I have:
Configured ActiveXInstaller Service and configured allowed sites and settings via GPO.
Configured IE Security settings for the Trusted Zone to Allow ActiveX content to run via GPO.
Configured IE to use per user proxy settings via GPO.
Allowed the domain in our proxy and bypassed authentication for that domain.
Everything seems to be in place but I receive a UAC prompt for the Internet Explorer Add-on Installer UNLESS I either turn off the IE proxy settings or add the domain to the IE proxy exclusions list.
Unfortunately neither of these are options in our environment..
Anything I've missed?
Thanks!

Hi,
Before going further, what's the operating systems you are using? How did you configure
approved Installation Sites for ActiveX Controls and Active X installation policy for sites in Trusted zones settings?
Regarding how to configure these two settings, we can refer to the following article for double check.
Administering the ActiveX Installer Service in Windows 7
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd631688(v=ws.10).aspx
Besides, we can also run command gpresult/h gpreport.html with admin privileges to collect group policy result report to check if the policy settings are applied correctly.
Best regards,
Frank Shen

Cant uninstall Shockwave player and can't re-install Adobe anything

I have tried 10 different ways to remove Shockwave Player. Keep coming up with errors. Obviously cannot just go into Add/Remove Programs. Get error messages right and left. Can't open or view anything requiring Adobe to open it. I want to COPMLETELY uninstall Adobe and then I want to re-load it so that I can open my files. Help?!?!

Uninstall it with http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/uninstall/win/sw_uninstaller.exe
If you still get errors, can you provide them?

IPad and proxy settings for more than AppStore and Safari?

Why am I having problems w/ most apps and the proxy settings? My corp. network requires proxy settings to get to the internet and only the AppStore and Safari (and a few specifically designed apps) will use the proxy settings. All other apps simply do not work.
Is this an Apple problem? Why was this not addressed by Apple?

Yes, they have. Not only on iPad, but every internet application, on Mac or on PC or on *nix, have to be coded internally to use proxies. Some are, and are also smart enough to check for any proxy info on network options of your system, some other will have the proxy info to be given in internal application setup, and some other, simply does not know what proxies are.

That is a SOCK, and is another different stuff. There is no hole in the O.S., it is the app you want to use, because that app wants connect the internet by herself, without using your proxy.
Best advice is, you ask that app's developer, to add in future releases, proxy connectivity or (best) to check if network requires a proxy and act accordingly without bother the user on the issue
Anyway, I'd like answer also your other questions:

You have problems because that apps don't think about the proxy setting you have in your network configuration (app poorly coded), or they require direct internet access in their specs (app aware of proxy, and do not want use it), access that you don't have because of proxy. Not your fault. Nor Apple's

JRE and Proxy Settings

Hello,
I've created a proxy.pac that's been deployed to our ouposts. It works fine except for one web application which is using java.
Now, I figured out that it's because I have to not only change the proxy-settings for IE and Firefox, but also for Java. Point is, it's user-based. So every user has to make these changes to make them become active.
My question is: Is there a way (probably by manipulating the net.properties) to make this change systemwide and not only limited to a single user?

The application is a browser based application. It's partially HTML/XML (right frame with content) and partially Javabased (left frame with navigation tree).
Now when I change the browsers' settings to use a pac-file as a proxy configuration file, the HTML/XML-based part is using the proxy setting that is set in the browsers' properties and connects by using the proxy. But the Java-side of the application seems to ignore these settings and tries to get a direct connection to the application. This ends in two different sessions where you have to login again in order to see the navigation-tree displayed. Since these two sessions are different from each other, they won't work together.
After correcting the proxy settings for the java runtime engine to also work with the configurationfile it works just fine.
As I said, we already found a solution for the problem itself. All we need to have now is a way to make the proxy-settings for java systemwide for we don't want to correct these settings for each and every user.

Nokia Suite and proxy settings

Hi,
the suite has a big bug. Instead of using any Windows network connection, it defines its own proxy settings which is obviously nonsense. I entered the correct proxy credentials, it still fails to connect to the internet. If it would rely on Windows' own mechanisms, it could like just any other program.
Conclusion: Nokia suite is unusable in a business environemt.
Olaf

In my campus where i live our network needs a proxy so the 1st problem was to download Nokia Suite. even i was not able to download it from its official site. Kindly look into this.
Now when i got it and installed i cannot find a button of settings as it is in rest of the s/w's. there is a button called Tools but its value is 0. Due to this iam not able to log into my account and furture proceed.
I have attached a screen shot of PC Suite window showing View, Sync and Tools buttons have a value 0.
Kindly look into this matter.

9ias and Proxy Settings for Client(Urgent !!! )

Dear All,
I am facing a very strange problem.
Our application is running on Oracle 9ias installed on Windows2000.
When I access this from a WindowsXP M/C with browser(IE 6.0) privacy settings as medium(which is by default medium)and without IP address of 9ias m/c.(Which is infact not required),I do not get the menu of my application generated.
I some how did some hit and trial and now when I put
the IP in proxy settings of my client Browser, I am able to get the menus.
Can anyone give some hint or somebody has faced the
problem like this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Dushyant

What is Adobe Shockwave player and why do I need it?

Do I need Adobe Shockwave if I already have Adobe Flash?

Shockwave Player is a different player than Flash Player, but there are actually very few sites out there that use it.
