Streaming flash video will not play automatically. Must move the mouse off the link

I have 4 computers, all running Win7. On every one, Internet explorer. 2 have firefox 3. 2 have firefox 4. When clicking a link on a website that has live streaming video (flash) - the stream changes to the next one and the video feed begins right away. Works fine on all 4 computers in IE, and in both Firefox 3. The video starts when the mouse is clicked, or when the screen is refreshed. On both computers with firefox4 - the mouse click loads the new feed, but the video hangs on a white screen until the mouse pointer moves. same problem when the feeds are set to auto-rotate. they load every 30 seconds, but unless I physically move the mouse, no video plays (or click the 'next feed' button again, which gives a split-second peek at the video feed I am navigating away from), I need to monitor many security cameras, and this is excruciating. Safe mode does not help. I have the newest versions of everything. please tell me this is a bug and not someone's bright idea

my quicktime videos will not play on my hp envy15 (windows 7 64). the screen goes black, freezes and i have to restart.
I have tried to open files by opening itunes or quicktime or media player. I have been able to play the videos broefly but then they typically freeze.

Flash Video will not play anywhere.

In my hunt to solve this problem, I've come across a lot of
posts where people have embedded FLV files in HTML documents and
can play them fine on their local computer. But once posted to a
server, they will not play.
Well, my problem is similar except it won't play on my local
computer either. I'm using Dreamwever 8 and Sorenson Squeeze 3.1 to
compress my flash video. I have followed the steps outlined in this
tutorial,
and the end result just displays a white box where my video should
be. You can view my test
here.
The thing is, the tutorial's flash video works perfectly when
tested locally and on a remote server. And since all my code is the
same as the tutorial (and all the .swf and .js files were created
normally), this leads me to believe it has something to with my
.flv file. I have tried several configurations and compression
settings in Squeeze, but still nothing.
The FLV also works fine when linked into a SWF file using the
Media Component as you can see
here.
So is Sorenson Squeeze 3.1 out of date? Is there something in
the way it encodes the flash video that prevents it from being
played this way? Or is there some other (preferably inexpensive)
solution?

I should have mentioned that I'm working on a mac, so an

that Riva program on a PC and it crashed on the first try and on
the second, it gave a warning that my source file would not work.
For now, I've worked around the problem by using Flash 8 and
embedding the .swf that links to the .flv file. But it would have
been nice to get dreamweaver's FLV player to work and bypass Flash
all together.

Flash Player is enabled, ActiveX Filtering disabled, yet Flash videos will not play in Internet Explorer 11

I have enabled Flash Player in add-ons for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 8.1. I also disabled ActiveX Filtering as instructed while trouble shooting... Yet, videos still will not play on webpages shown in Internet Explorer. How can I fix this, since I have already followed instructions from Adobe completely? Flash Player is supposedly already be installed in Internet Explorer 11, but it is NOT working.

Long story short, the video site is probably going to need to change their content before it works in IE11+. I'd need some links to affected pages to tell you for sure (and even then, the complexity of websites these days makes debugging pretty painful).
In the meantime, you might just want to use Chrome for the sites that otherwise don't work.

Flash Video will not play

Hi Everyone,
I add a flash video to a page and when I preview it form DW
CS3 and from the website the video does not appear. I already have
one that is linked on the homepage but for some reason this
additional on will not play. Here is a link to the page in
question.
http://www.ebcardiac.com/multimedia/absmc/absmc.html
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this to play? I
have others that I need to add in addition to this one.
Thanks,
Robert

IPages will not allow me to move an icon off the tool bar

Wanting to remove an icon from the tool bar.
I right clicked on the tool bar > Went to Custums > Tried Dragging the icon out = would not work
I also tried to add an icon and it would not work

I'm guessing this is what you're asking about in the Mac version of Pages (no 'i'). You can also choose Customize Toolbar… from the View menu. It's not at all clear how you're dragging an icon out or in. You need to click, hold & drag without releasing the click until the icon is where you want it.

Certain Flash Videos Will Not Play (e.g. uStream live)

I'm having trouble getting certain videos to play. None of the live feeds on www.ustream.tv work. Nor do the videos on www.mtv.ca, nor those on www.kelbytraining.com. They all used to work just fine. Now, I just get a perpetual loading graphic. They all work fine in IE.
I've read the other threads relating to this and no luck. I've cleared my Macromedia and Adobe Flash Player caches in the %appdata% folder, cleared everything using CCleaner, disabled hardware acceleration in the flash player settings, disabled all of my plug-ins, permitted all inbound and outbound connections in my Panda firewall, disabled Panda firewall entirely, updated my flash player, updated firefox...and nothing seems to solve it.
Can someone please use your witchcraft to make it work again?
Thanks

You can try to check in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile].

You can try to compare the three systems' performance here: http://pingtest.net/
Not sure, but if Panda uses LSP, possible LSP corruption can hit network performance. You can also do a manual check: type '''msinfo32''' in the Windows Run box (Windows key + '''R'''), expand '''Components''' > '''Network''' > '''Protocol''' and look for entries other than '''MSAFD''' or '''RSVP'''.

My computer won't play videos from site like the Daily Show and the CW, but they stopped working last week. I have the newest version of Adobe player. Anyone know why the full videos will not play?

Some videos will not play in the Public site

For some reason, I have quite a few videos that do not play in the public site while other videos play just fine. When selecting a video, the player opens but the video never starts.
Any ideas?

Flash player will not play flvs from folder with name containing non-Roman Chars

We're trying to play flash as part of a program that can be installed to locations including non-Roman chars (European, Arabic, Chinese, etc.). When the installation path includes any non Roman chars, video will not play. The non-roman chars are garbled when Flash tries to load the flvs. Correct non-Roman chars are: ńśćłł.

Not exactly sure what you are doing, but it is obvious that some part of the program you are running does not support multibyte characters like Unicode.
If you are developing that application, make sure it is Unicode enabled. If it is Flash (or Flash Player) that doesn't understand it, then you may not be able to do anything about it.
What I would try if I were to encounter the situation, I would try to use the DOS (8.3) path names, like C:\Documents and Settings would normally be C:\DOCUME~1 or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users would be C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1 etc.
Use the DIR /X command to find out what the DOS folder names are.

Flash videos do not play.

I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition and IE7. I have Flash 10.0.32.18 installed and JavaScript is enabled. I have seperate logons (screen names) for each member of my family. Flash videos will play under the administrators screen name, and when using Firefox under any screen name. When logged on as one of the other screen names, flash videos do not play. In Youtube, this message appears: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player." As stated above, this is not the case. It looks to me to be a permissions issue, but I don't where to change those permissions if that is the case.

maybe, you can check the "tools-option" on the internet explorer toolbar. and then enable javasript.

Some videos will not play in FF 4 (and earlier versions)

Some videos will not play in FF 4 (and earlier versions) particularly on facebook. I have the latest version of shockwave flash. Here's what I've tried and has not worked: disabled ad blocker, turned hardware acceleration on/off, installed WMP plug-in, installed VLC multimedia plug-in, installed quick time plug-in, changed plugin-container.exe compatibility to win98/ME. Samething in Win 7. Thanks.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
