Unable to play movie over HTTPS

I have this flash movie which was created using Captivate,
now the problem is it wont play over HTTPS connection- only the
playback control show up and all i get is blank screen. The actual
tutorial never starts, but as soon as i change it to HTTP it works
great. I am new to captivate and really need to fix this, Can
anyone please help me or point me to a solutions to this. Would be
much appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hi there tech_varun
I'm thinking this is something you should report to Adobe as
a potential bug. To do that, you use the Wish Form.
Click
here to view the WishForm/Bug Reporting Form
Since things work under normal HTTP but fail under HTTPS. I
looked the code over and really don't see anything that would seem
to inhibit a HTTPS connection. So I'm wondering if it's got
something to do with the _skin.swf actually calling the main part
of the movie. I suppose we might confirm that to some extent by
asking you to publish with Borders turned off. (Project > Skin
> Borders tab and DE-select "Show Borders")
Copy that output to the HTTPS server and see if the project
seems to run.
Cheers... Rick

IOS Safari wont play quicktime over HTTPS

I have a video that streams from Apache (Mac Web Sharing) OK to Mac OS X Safari and Firefox, and to Safari on my iPhone and iPad.
However, when I put the same video on a Mac OS X Server with SSL enabled (self-crtificated) I can view the video via Mac OS X Safari and other browsers using HTTPS, but not on my iOS devices.
I have recreated this problem on multiple servers and clients, and my client is also seeing the same thing (same video streamed from an IIS/SharePoint server.)
Can anyone shed light on this?
Regards,
Paul Adams,

Having the same problem. Here should be a solution https://devforums.apple.com/message/361209#361209
It says following:
After experiencing the very same problem and symptoms, I was able to gain access to the Apple Developer Forum thread mentioned here (https://devforums.apple.com/message/361209#361209)
The upshot of the Apple thread is that you must have a valid Intermediate Certificate installed on the server. It is not enough to have only the server certificate installed.
I have tested this with Mac OS X 10.6 Server. I installed the server certificate and while desktop browsers were able to stream a video over HTTPS, iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) both gave the "This movie could not be played" error.
Installing the Intermediate Certificate fixed the problem.
Other devices, like Android phones and tablets, and RIM PowerBook (via Flash) had no problems playing the video without the Intermediate Certificate. I suspect it is a case of iOS being overzealous with its security, a "Feature" if not a bug ;-)
My question is: Where and how do I install the Intermediate Certificate? On the iPhone or on the Apache Server?

Unable to play movie in iphoto 08

Ever since installing Snow Leopard (the bane of my life!) I have been unable to play the movies that I have imported to iphoto 08 from my camera. No previous problems.

Start the install process with the Snow Leopard disc and look for a Customize button in one of the first windows, probably right after the language selection window. It will be similar to the Customize button in this screenshot:

Click on it and you will be able to select just what you want to install.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

HT1657 I am unable to play movie, I touch play, the screen goes black but nothing happens???

unable to get movie to start??

I have more or less the same problem - except I've been able to get it to play (once or twice) by starting it with the miniplayer instead of the main screen (huh? exactly) -- but I paused the movie and now I can't get it to start again.
Super annoying. Plus, it's interesting to me that the "help" page linked from the itunes store has no links to anything that might indicate that there might be a "problem"

Unable to play .mov files

I have my AppleTV looking at my Mac's iTunes to play files found in Movies.
There are a couple that do not appear in the list of movies displayed. I noticed that they are .mov files.
One is a small sized movie - 320x240 Quicktime movie file.
The other is one I was very interested in. Created with Canon 5D Mark II it created a .mov file 1920x1080 H.264 Quicktime movie file.
I noticed its seems that all the movies that are listed are mpeg-4.
What't the issue?
Thanks.

See specs;
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
mov files are containers for video and can contain variously encoded formats.
You can play .mov files if they use the right codecs, but AppleTv cannot paly everything and in addition even with the correct codec, the files must be encoded within specific parameters to work.
You'll see from the specs that AppleTV cannot playback more than 720p resolution at 24fps officially - your 5DII files exceed those specs - they would need to be converted to playback.
The 'small Quicktime movie' probably uses an incompatible codec/bitrate - what is it?

Safari will not play mp4 over HTTPS

Hello,
I have a file, sample.html, which contains only the following code:
<html> <body>
<video width="600" autoplay loop poster="placeholder.jpg">
<source src="sample.mp4" />
</video>
</body> </html>
The mp4 file referenced is the one downloaded from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425
When I use Safari to access my page via http://myserver.com/sample.html the video plays without problem.
When I use Safari to access my page via https://myserver.com/sample.html only the placeholder image is displayed.
Using Safari 7.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.9.4
I have used http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html to check that SSL is correctly configured for my domain and it reports no problems.
How can I make the video play in Safari when accessed over https?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

If you are having problems playing MPEG4 video in Quicktime 7.4 (and Apple are aware that some users have had such problems) you should carefully check in
/Library/Quicktime and
/Library/Internet Plug-ins and
Home/Library/Quicktime
to check whether you have any third party plug-ins that are not completely up to date.
Current versions of Flip4Mac and DiVX and Perian do NOT cause failure alone or in combination. However the one SPECIFIC extension that ALWAYS causes the failure alone or in groups is 3ivxMediaImp. All other 3ivx extensions DO work. Remove only that ONE SPECIFIC extension.
Please try this and see if it fixes your problem with QT Player, the QT Firefox Plugin, and iTunes not playing MPEG4 files (including mp4 files).
Older 3ivx and DivX components are often incompatible with new QuickTime versions and are, in many cases, obviated by component packs like Perian.
This is not the only explanation for issues with MPEG4 file playback in QuickTime 7.4 and later, however. The issue with videos from democracynow.org and others, for instance, is the result of that content not complying with MPEG4 standards (namely that they use bogus track dimensions). QuickTime had previously ignored invalid track dimensions but this was changed in order to support properly authored anamorphic content.
The recent update to QT 7.4.1 has fixed a number of issues but some problems are unavoidable when working with non-standards compliant content. The standards are important for many reasons including keeping hackers from manipulating improperly coded web pages.
However, there is a workaround (also the basis for why those files will still play in iTunes): there are a few ways to trick QuickTime into ignoring the invalid track data. For instance, rename the files .3GP and they'll show up just fine.
Post back if you want a list of the plug-ins you should have in order to play pretty much anything in Quicktime.

Exchange 2013 SP1 - Unable to test Mapi-over-HTTP Outlook Connectivity

Outlook is working fine and is using MAPI over HTTP, so i'm pretty sure there are no configuration problems. But the CMD-let gives me the following output:

Power PC G5 Unable to Play .MOV File with Avid DNxHD Codec

Our client is sending us .mov Quicktimes with Avid DNxHD Codec.
It wouldn't play on our Macbook Pros, but no problem, I downloaded the codec and it ran fine afterwards.
Not having the same luck with our Power Mac G5 Workstation.
It runs on Mac OS Leopard 10.5.8.
Downloaded the codec for Leopard from this link:
http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=263545
Nothing changed.
I play the file and all I see is black as the timeline runs.
How should I fix this issue?

The Power Mac G5 does not have an Intel Processor like the newer macs do. Could that be root of issue?
It is a definite possibility. The link you posted indicated the Mac v2.1 component was compatible with OS 10.5.5 and later which would normally imply QT 7 with or without Intel CPU. However, the editing software applications do seem to restrict their use to "Intel only" Mac systems. For instance, Pro Tools v8.3 and higher are listed as "Intel Only" software. Did try the v2.01 QT codec component or look for anything older?

Home Sharing issues since iTunes 11.0.5, unable to play movie/tv content it just hangs on the spinning sprocket

Every since my upgrade to iTunes 11.0.5, I have had problems with my AppleTV homesharing with iTunes. The media, (Movies, TV Shows, etc) hangs on that spinning sprocket/gear wheel or show's the first frame of the movie and never loads or plays. I have to continually restart the AppleTV or iTunes, sometimes even restarting my iMac or the Network Router.
Does anyone have a work around or solution to this issues, it is making me mental having to restart after each screening.
Thanks....

Hey Phyxius38,
Great troubleshooting so far! While you may have attempted some of these steps already, I wished to provide you with this article just in case:

Quicktime unable to play movies from Apple site. Codec?

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q86/limbodog/QTissue.jpg
Above is a screenshot of the "movie info" popup from QT. You can also see the movie running in the background.
So I tried to watch the 28 Weeks Later preview on the apple trailers site on my home PC. As you can see from the clicky above, all I get is a white screen with faint green outlines as though someone were shining an eleventy-billion candlepower spotlight on the set when it was being filmed. The sound works just fine tho'.
I perused what threads I could find here that might have covered the topic. It sounded like people felt it was a codec issue. The thread that I read suggested I get the codec info from the "movie info" popup and then go find a codec to replace it.
Well, I like to think I'm fairly computer savvy, but I don't see any info in there that helps me figure out what of the hundreds of codes out there is the one I need. I tried a few random attempts but they only made it worse (the movies didn't even attempt to load).
Anyone out there able to recommend a codec?
I did notice that I can watch it just fine here at work. Is there a way to figure out what codec I'm using here so I can get the same one at home?
Oh, the same problem occurs now on all iTunes videos.
Thanks in advance for any tips.

You're only missing some Microsoft "additions" that are supposed to improve your viewing experience.
You should take some time to search for updates to your video card drivers. Newer versions may things "right" and allow all the wonders of DirectX.
Like. I wonder why I need DirectX. I wonder what it really does for me. I wonder why I have so many troubles with simple things. I wonder why I just didn't buy a Mac.

Unable to play movie

downloaded digital copy of the dark knight and it showed up in my itunes and successfully synched with my classic 30gb ipod. movie will not play, it says "loading" and then screen goes blank. any thoughts? thanks.

OK, I apologize for the "classic" designation. Actually I received the bluray movie for xmas and it came with a digital download which was through itunes. it downloaded without a hitch and plays fine when running through itunes. the ipod shows that it synched fine and the movie shows up under the movie menu on the ipod, just won't play.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Unable to play movies

Though I am logged in via Apple TV to may account, I'm seeing that it will take 4 to 9 hours to view the movie!!! ISP connection is excellent (Latency 20 ms, upload 30MB; download 23MB). This has to be with the iTunes store. What is going on? Anybody know?

ISP connection is excellent
Clearly it is not.
(Latency 20 ms, upload 30MB; download 23MB).
That means nothing. Those are the generic levels they are offering on their network. They tell you nothing about what speed you are getting to the internet it self, or what the quality of that connection is ( number of lost packets) or what the speed of your connection to iCloud is, or how much of your connection is already being used by something else on your computer(s).
This has to be with the iTunes store.
Nope. If it was the forum would be overloaded with thosands of people having the same issue.

I am unable to play videos over cellular data in multiple apps

For about a week and a half now, Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube videos within their apps, will not play on my device. They WILL play in the web browser, but not in the app itself.
Steps I've taken to rectify.
1. Reset network settings - FAILED
2. Removed apps and reinstalled - FAILED
3. Restored phone and set up as new iphone - FAILED
4. Called AT&T and had them resert my cellular signal - FAILED
5. New SIM card - NEXT STEP
Is anyone else seeing this issue as of late?
I am on an iPhone 5s with software version 7.1.1.
7.9 GB of storage available on the device.

I'm having this same issue. The videos show their length and the preview. But once I hit the play button the video goes black and stops showing the length.
The videos play normally within the YouTube app but not on safari or other apps.

It appears that FF3.6.10 is having problems with Silverlight on NetFlix. Can anyone confirm that they are unable to play movies?

Intel Mac OSX 10.5.8
FF 3.6.10
Silverlight (lastest)

I'm having problems streaming movies from Netflix so I called them. They told me if I was dissatisfied, I could cancel my service with them. I guess this is their new customer service policy.
