[SOLVED] Session is closed when I play any type of videos

Hi,
I can't play videos any type of videos. I've tried with VLC and MPlayer, but as soon as they load, the session is closed and I have to log back in.
I use linux-ck kernel (uname -r: 3.2.2-1-ck). Tried with Arch stock kernel but same problem.
Also, I have ATI Catalyst drivers (latest, installed using catalyst-total from AUR) and use KDE.
I don't know what else I can tell you.. already looked at google/forums with no luck.
Thanks in advance.

  • Unable to play any type of video on iTunes

    I currently have iTunes 11.0.5.5 running on a 64-bit version of Windows 7. My problem is that whenever I try to play any type of video file including Movies and Music Videos, iTunes freezes. I can not do anything to it. I can't even close iTunes, I can only close iTunes by using the Task Manager.
    This problem has been going on since iTunes was in version 10. I have already tried unistalling and reinstalling, but that didn't do anything to it.
    I do not know how or why this happend, but I need a solution to fix this problem.

  • IPad no longer playing ANY type of video after 8.3 upgrade

    My iPad mini can no longer play ANY video.  I have tried various movies/tv shows from my library and directly from iTunes.  When I play a video, I get the following message "This operation could not be completed.  An unknown error occurred (-16710).
    I have tried several things including reboot, reset, reset all settings, and a full wipe and restore.   No dice.  This baby is dead in the water.
    Any ideas?

    Are you playing the DVD via Front Row or on a stand-alone basis via the DVD Player? Regardless, your computer may well be impacted by the glitches in your OS build, specifically impacting those of us with 20" iMacs and 256 vram. Check the build of your operating system by going to Apple>About this Mac and click where you see Version 10.4.4 - your Build information will appear. If your build is 8G1171, expect a fix to be on the way. More on that issue here & elsewhere:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=345219&tstart=0
    It may be something else is effecting your machine, but I thought I'd toss the idea above out there just in case it helps.

  • I am using ALSA and Icecat. When I play any html5 audio/video it works, but the next time i click on another audio/video link I lose sound.

    I am using Parabola (a fork of archlinux), Icecat 31.4 and ALSA
    Icecat and firefox seem to hold onto the soundcard when I click on a new html5 audio/video link in the same tab. The next video/audio element loses sound. If I wait 10 seconds and click back to the start of the audio/video, the audio returns. I often get cpu spikes for icecat when it happens.
    I have tried this with both motherboard and usb sound and I get the same problem. I have disabled extensions (addons) in Icecat, deleted profiles, reinstalled the browser and even installed firefox from the AUR and it still occurs.
    I have disable gstreamer in about:config and restarted and it still occurs.
    My .asoundrc is this:
    pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
    All my other audio applications work. I have noticed that if I use pulseaudio it fixes it, but it should work without anyway, like it used to. I think something happened after an update, but I'm not sure.
    Any help would be appreciated. I know it's not a big problem, but it's really frustrating and I've had it for ages. I even switched browsers to get away from it.

  • I cannot play any type of video on firefox which includes Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook videos and all. I tried most things that was suggested already. What to do?

    One day, videos would not work on my firefox. I tried all suggestions that the help center suggested and nothing works.
    PLEASE help!

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Firefox will not play any type of videos while other browsers do??

    Using windows 7, real player installed, cant plah any videos at all while other bowsers do.
    Mozilla firefox 21.0 real playuer 16.0.2

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
    *http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-113-crash-mozilla.html
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I can't play any type of video online on my Macbook, not even youtube!

    Heyy guys, I was watching youtube videos fine last night and now all of a sudden it is just a black rectangle that shows up. I read there was an issue with this about two years ago but now its october 2012 and I can not seem to find anyone with this problem. So after reading a bit I checked other websites. Lifetime.com videos do not work, ebumesworld.com does not work, albinoblacksheep.com does not work. See the problem?? Is anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?! The only thing that works is Netflix which is a streaming and not uploaded videos like youtube. I checked my phone and youtube works fine on my iphone 4....help!

    In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins.  Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs.  Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

    Dear Pat Willener
    Yes I have installed debug flash. I have done it. It works. Now standard flash installer is working with no error.

In addition, I want to know the right configurations for my motherboard BIOS to make the system stable with gaming and virtual software like Virtual PC, Virtual Server, VM Ware and Virtual Box.
    I am writing this problem because I think I will burn my motherboard and the GPU if it does not work after your solutions.
    I hope you help me ASAP.

    Dear Mr. NovJoe,
    Thank you for your replay.
    Around 4.5 Hours, I left my PC do the test and I go to finish some business outside my home.
    Is it true that the cards that have nVidia chipset only work with games certified from nVidia? And is it true that the cards that have ATi chipset only work with games certified from ATi?
    And I'm sorry to ask these questions - I know that are silly questions, but when I took my PC to the maintenance they told that I only can play with any game that ATi certified.
    Again thank you for your effort.
    No, that's not true. Games can be run by any ATI or nVidia cards. Don't be taken by those silly remarks.
    Quote from: abajbeir on 08-November-09, 14:23:50
    I did the first part by replace my GPU with another on my system and it worked smoothly, but I did not test my GPU on another system because I didn't found anyone can handle my GPU card. So, I took my system and my GPU card to the maintenance to fix my problem.
    I think the GPU is problematic, test it in another system to double confirm. If the GPU is confirmed to be faulty, RMA the GPU for a replacement. Let us know when the replacement is back .

  • I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

    I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes?  This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

    You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.

  • Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

    Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
    After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
    If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
    Thanks

    +If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
    If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
    Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
    Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?

    How ram does your machine have have you tried shut the machine down pull the power plug for a few minutes and plug it back in and restart the computer.  The only thing I can think of is Low onn Ram or the speed of your connection. It might be the player you are using as well. download VLC Player itwill play everything.
