Trouble with current playback time on progress bar

First, some terminology.
As Adobe Flash Player is preparing to play a video, it displays a spinning icon in the center of the video window.  I have seen web pages which refer to this as the spinning beach ball.  I will refer to this simply as the "spinning icon".
While Adobe Flash Player is playing a video, when one hovers the cursor over the video window (or moves the cursor while playing the video in full screen mode), one sees a progress bar at the bottom of the window.  To the left of the progress bar is a pause button.
The progress bar has a pointer representing the current playback time within the video.  The progress bar also has a display of the current playback time and length of the video (eg, 40:37 / 01:12:35, meaning that play back is at 40 minutes and 37 seconds within a video which is 72 minutes and 35 seconds long).
On my Windows XP system, when Flash Player V10.0.32.18 is playing a streaming video, the video pauses when bandwidth is momentarily insufficient to deliver the video bit stream.  The spinning icon appears in the center of the video window.  The current playback time on the progress bar also pauses, as it should.  But when the video resumes, the current playback time does not begin incrementing again.  It remains stalled at the time the pause occurred, which is irritating because it is no longer possible to tell how much time remains in the video.
It took me a very long time to discover that once the current playback time has stalled, pressing the pause button will cause the current playback time to refresh to the correct playback time and begin incrementing again.  Yaaayyyyyy!
Now, perhaps someone can help me with a challenge I have been unable to solve.
On occasion, I want to back up a few seconds within a video.  But if I use my mouse to grab the pointer within the progress bar and move it backward, moving the pointer only a few seconds is a huge challenge.  Even a slight movement of my mouse moves the pointer back a minute or two.
Is there a way to move the pointer using a key (eg, an arrow key) so that each key press moves the pointer back only a second or two?
And how about being able to key in a time and press enter, thereby causing the pointer to move to the specified time? Any way to do that?

Hi OSW, Thanks, now if the NPSWF (FF) files listed are 10.0.32.18 which I'm sure they are, then your FF Flash files are correct. You can right click on each of those and click Properties to confirm the version numbers. Then you have the SWF that is correct. So you have FF Flash files and the SWF, so you are ok on FF.
IE is a different story. That FIDbg10c.ocx should not be there, it should be Flash10c.ocx to match the FlashUtil10c.ocx.
Now as far as doing what you suggested, in a word NO. First of all the plug-in is normally used as referring to FF or other browsers than IE. ActiveX is used for IE. If you ran the uninstall_plug-in.exe, you would be removing your FF add on, so don't do that since all of your related Flash files for FF are intact. (Do not disturb:-)
Now the proper way to Uninstall is to use the Adobe Uninstaller that is downloaded to your Desktop. Then the IE Flash Player Installer is likewise downloaded to the Desktop. Then the FF Installer is downloaded to your Desktop. That way it seems to work better. Also the following must be taken into consideration. Any Anti-Virus/Spyware/Firewall can block
the install of the ActiveX Control for IE. You must run in the Administrative mode or be the Administrator to install the
ActiveX and write to the Windows Registry, which Flash Player does on the Install.
Keep in mind that an Uninstall will remove Flash Player files and the SWF and the SWO for ALL browsers. Then the IE Installer is used to Install FP and the SWO for IE. Then the FF Installer is used to Install the FP & SWF for FF.
Trying to update or download the Flash Player latest version does not remove the old versions as some software installs do. The old versions must be removed by the Adobe FP Uninstaller prior to any download of the new version.
I have to be offline for a time. Will check back in later. Just wanted to give you some info on this. There are a couple of things that can be done, and will explain later. If you are satisfied with FF & IE with how Flash Player is working, you don't have to do anything. Again, the update may not accomplish the progress bar issue either. So it is something to think about.
Thanks,
eidnolb

    I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with
    Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried
    Tools --> Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3+
    years without difficulty; I have lots of ram, hard drive and speed.
    Thanks for your input

    One step listed in the link to "helpful" info, was (when Iooked 30 seconds ago), to search for and download the newest version of iTunes. I'm running iTunes on Win 7 machine and was prompted to update today, 10.22.2014, and did so without a problem. Having said that, however, it looks as though the latest iTunes (12.0.1.26) is finally doing what the last version refused to do, which is to actually fully populate all my playlists on my 6, but there is a hitch: 12.0.1.26 will NOT allow you to show the sidebar unless you click on "playlists," that is, you cannot keep it open all the time.
    And, when plugging the 6 into the computer, the phone icon shows up but clicking on it does nada. What does work, for some strange reason, is clicking on the tiny icon (just under the "Store" menu link at top screen) which looks much like a tiny barrel, someone's idea of external drives, I suppose. The phone then comes up, with the list of stuff on the phone just under it where the sidebar used to be. Sync is now restricted to the lower right of the screen.
    Apparently, you will also need to update your iPhone's software as well; some friends with the 4 and 4s, however, had troubles with them after upgrading. The message from Silicon Valley (I can see Apple from my backyard, ha ha) is apparently, "keep upgrading," folks, get rid of those old phones.

  • JMediaPlayer - get media duration, current playback time ... etc

    Hello everybody,
    I can't seem to find API calls for the following purposes:
    - get media duration
    - get current playback time
    - set current playback time
    Does anybody know how to get/set those values?
    By the way, I'm embedding the JMediaPlayer within a Swing application, not developing a classic FX tool.
    Thank you in advance,
    r.

    To best learn JavaFX and its API and class of what it can do or not do, do learn to decompile the code into Java. You will find most of your answer there (though you may find it limit in understanding Java class compiled from JavaFX Script source)
    First of all, the decompiled JMediaPlayer show the following code
    package com.sun.media.jmc;
    import com.sun.media.jmcimpl.PlayerControlPanel;
    import java.awt.BorderLayout;
    import java.net.URI;
    import javax.swing.JComponent;
    // Referenced classes of package com.sun.media.jmc:
    // JMediaPane, MediaUnavailableException, MediaUnsupportedException, MediaCorruptedException,
    // MediaInaccessibleException
    public class JMediaPlayer extends JComponent
    public JMediaPlayer()
    mediaPane = new JMediaPane();
    setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    add(mediaPane, "Center");
    add(controlPanel = new PlayerControlPanel(mediaPane), "South");
    controlPanel.setPlayEnabled(false);
    public JMediaPlayer(URI uri)
    throws MediaUnavailableException, MediaUnsupportedException, MediaCorruptedException, MediaInaccessibleException
    mediaPane = new JMediaPane(uri);
    setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    add(mediaPane, "Center");
    add(new PlayerControlPanel(mediaPane), "South");
    public void play()
    mediaPane.play();
    public void stop()
    mediaPane.stop();
    public void pause()
    mediaPane.pause();
    public void setSource(URI uri)
    throws MediaUnsupportedException, MediaUnavailableException, MediaCorruptedException, MediaInaccessibleException
    if(mediaPane != null)
    mediaPane.setSource(uri);
    if(controlPanel != null)
    controlPanel.setPlayEnabled(true);
    public URI getSource()
    return mediaPane.getSource();
    public float setVolume(float f)
    return mediaPane.setVolume(f);
    public float getVolume()
    return mediaPane.getVolume();
    public void setMute(boolean flag)
    mediaPane.setMute(flag);
    public boolean isMute()
    return mediaPane.isMute();
    public void setRepeating(boolean flag)
    if(mediaPane != null)
    mediaPane.setRepeating(flag);
    public boolean isRepeating()
    if(mediaPane != null)
    return mediaPane.isRepeating();
    else
    return false;
    public void setAutoPlay(boolean flag)
    mediaPane.setAutoPlay(flag);
    public boolean isAutoPlay()
    return mediaPane.isAutoPlay();
    private JMediaPane mediaPane;
    private PlayerControlPanel controlPanel;
    The core object is JMediaPane with API to do what you want.
    mediaPane.setMediaTime(_timeSec); // Set media time
    mediaPane.getDuration(); // Get duration
    mediaPane.getMediaTime(); // Get current playback time
    Unfortunately, you cannot simply retrieve JMediaPane reference from JMediaPlayer because it has a private access modifier. Hence the only way is to create your own Player from the reference code above.

  • HT4623 My iphone is frozen with the apple icon and progress bar at 5% cannot update

    My iphone4 is frozen with the apple icon and progress bar at 5% cannot update

    Same issues here.
    iPhone 5 was fine until I restarted the device... now the screen flickers on and off (with the white Apple logo
    and frozen progress bar overlayed on the screen).
    When I try to restore, I get a "-1" error.
    Well I just looked over at the screen, and everything is now fine. No flickering, no logo... the screen looks normal.
    Hmmm...

    I haven't been able to back up to my FreeAgent external hard drive

    Wireless. I have a Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive plugged in by USB to the mac.
    You say it is connected via USB, yet your are saying backups are done wirelessly.
    From Terminal, can you post the output of tmutil destinationinfo (remove any personal information as you see fit)?

  • Time Machine progress bar

    I recently upgraded from an iMac G5 running Leopard to an i5 MacBook Pro, and I had a specific issue with time machine that I would like to resolve.
    With the G5, after activating TM, I always got a small Finder-like window showing the progress of the backup. When I started using TM in the new computer I also got this progress bar showing on the desktop (not part of TM Preferences window), but suddenly it disappeared and now I cannot find a way to make it appear on the desktop.
    I cannot think of anything in particular that I did to make the window not to display. This progress bar is quite useful for me and would appreciate any help to have it display again.

    Thanks, the question has been moved to the correct forum now.
    It seems the TM progress bar cannot be selected/de-selected from the menu bar, nor the TM preferences panel. Based on some other discussions it seems I'm not the only one that has observed this problem, but haven't seen yet a posting with the solution.

  • Mac Stuck at Startup Screen with Grey Apple Logo,Empty Progress Bar and a Spinning wheel

    Last night the electricity went out and my power surge protector was not working so my iMac just force shut downed.
    So, when the electricity came back i turned on my Mac but it is *Stuck in the Startup/Boot Screen with a Grey Apple Logo,a Empty Progress Bar with stays for 1 or 2 minutes and a small Spinning Wheel which would Spin Forver! I Have tried the SMC and Pram reset but no use, i have also tried to insert my OS X Lion 10.7 Installation disk and it would not load if i hold the C Key in the Startup, I Have Managed to go to Disk Utility Through "Recovery HD"  but the Volume "Macintosh HD" is Greyed out and Unmounted and i cannot repair it. There are some files that i'd like to Recover if there is a way to fix it without deleting files.
    **PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS!**
    Details about the iMac:
    iMac 21.5 Inch i think from Mid 2010,
    OS X Lion installed maybe 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 (im not sure)

    kernel
    Grey screen with Metallic Apple and spinning gear
    Sounds to me like your hard drive failed on you as a result of the power going out.
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive/
    If your iMac is a Mid 2010 you qualify for the hard drive replacement program from Apple.
    Apple has determined that certain Seagate 1TB hard drives used in 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac systems may fail. These systems were sold between October 2009 and July 2011.
    I hope I helped you with your problem.

  • I bought fifa 2012, while I sync with ipod touch 4g the progress bar more than half, after that my ipod says "the trasferiment fifa 2012 has failed." What should I do?

    I bought fifa 2012, while i sync with ipod the progress bar more then half,after my ipod says " the trasferment of fifa 2012 has failed". What should i do?

    - Try directly downloading it on the iPod. To not get charged again see:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can also delete it form iTunes and then redownload (see link above) and try resyncing.

  • Trouble with ipod touch time

    everytime it connects it puts the ipod with a wrong time for example is should say right now 10.32 but when i connect it to the computer it resets it to 9.32 ,one hour dif.I have tried everything to put it normal,restoring,restoring settings everything
    any idea what to do?

    It may be that your computer's clock is an hour slow. The iPod clock probably syncs with the clock on your computer. If that isn't the problem, try checking to see if your iPod is set to the correct time zone.

  • How to show two different plots with current system time and date on waveform chart

    I am using  one waveform chart to display the more than one value continiously. The data  are comming properly but i am not getting my system (pc) time and date on x axis. It is showing default date and time (i.e.01/01/1904 5:30:45). Please  give me suggestions to display the real time and date on x axis of waveform chart. 

    How does your data look like? Do you graph waveform data types, dynamic data, or plain arrays/clustes? In the case of plain arrays, you need to set x0 to the absolute start time of your data, e.g. with a property node.
    I you would attach your code (or an image) we could offer more specific advice. There are too many possibilities.

  • Having trouble with deploying real time 8.0 vi's

    Having trouble deploying a simple vi to my field point platform.  I am using  FP OS v10.4 and labview rt v8.0.  MAX tells me software installations to the target are good and communication in MAX is good.  I can make a windows VI to read a channel on  my field point and it works well. if I duplicate this VI in real time and try to deploy it to the field point unit, it goes well until it starts to download the "FP read" vi and then the download fails.  I have plenty of memory on the fieldpoint unit for this vi - it consists of a FP channel constant, FP read, numeric constant (for data type to FP read), a numeric indicator, a while loop, millisecond multiple vi (loop timing), and stop control.
    I am stumped - any help would be great.
    Kirk

    Kirk - what controller are you using?  Double check that the
    controller has the following listed under Remote Systems >> (your
    controller name) >> Software:
    LabVIEW Real-Time 8.0
    NI-VISA
    FieldPoint VI Manager
    FieldPoint Drivers 5.0
    sebk1 - The Fieldpoint Read VI includes error handling, if an error
    occurs it takes time to generate and propagate the error.  Check
    to see if your data is out of range for the channel.  If that is
    not the case, I suggest trying an example VI that includes a FP Read VI
    such as Analog Input found at: C:\Program Files\National
    Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\examples\FieldPoint\Getting Started\Analog
    Input.vi if you installed to the default directory.  I'd be
    interested to hear the results of your tests.

  • Troubles with current WSDL description

    Hi all,
    we ran successfully our custom code accessing the Eloqua API, developed in Python with help of the suds library. The code worked for several months.
    One of our servers has been accidentaly restarted on September 22, 2012 and since that moment the code stopped working. We found out after some investigation, that there is currently no way how to construct structure necessary for update of entities. API function Update(ArrayOfDynamicEntity entities, ) takes the structure ArrayOfDynamicEntity as a parameter. One of its members is structure DynamicEntity, and one of its members is structure DynamicEntityFields, which holds an array of EntityFields structures.
    The problem is, that the structure EntityFields is not described by the WSDL, so there is no way how to create it by a factory function. By some miracle the call to client.factory.create('EntityFields') worked with an older WSDL description even without EntityFields being listed as a type. Looks like the current WSDL description prohibits miracles, as we get error Type not found: 'EntityFields'. :-( The change in WSDL description must have occur sometimes between August 22 and September 22.
    So how we can create the structure EntityFields if it's not listed as a type within the interface.
    Regards,
    Stefan Petrucha

    Hi Stefan,
    Not sure if this will help you... I just took a quick look at the Eloqua Service API in soapUI, and it looks like the EntityFields definition should still be there:
    <xsd:complexType name="DynamicEntityFields">
    <xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:appinfo>
    <IsDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">true</IsDictionary>
    </xsd:appinfo>
    </xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="EntityFields">
    <xsd:complexType>
    <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="InternalName" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
    <xsd:element name="Value" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
    </xsd:element>
    </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
    It's just a key/value pair, so in C#, I can construct an example DynamicEntity array as such:
    EloquaService.DynamicEntity[] dynamicEntities = new EloquaService.DynamicEntity[1];
    dynamicEntities[0] = new EloquaService.DynamicEntity();
    dynamicEntities[0].FieldValueCollection.Add("C_FirstName", "Stuart");
    dynamicEntities[0].FieldValueCollection.Add("C_LastName", "Williams");
    var updateResult = eloqua.EloquaServiceProxy.Update(dynamicEntities);
    I am not using any factory function to generate an EntityField specifically.
