Upgrading to FP 10 Flash Playback Problems

Hi there,
I recently upgraded my flash to flash player 10....whatever
and audio skips on Youtube big time. Same with myspace music etc.
It plays and suddenly makes terrible skipping sounds no matter
video on youtube or audio on myspace. I guess I should report this?
I am using IE7 and Vista Ultimate SP1.

I'm having the same problems. I did update the driverrs for the HD Graphics and it now powers off when I shut it down. It still will not come out of sleep mode though and I can not disable the touchpad when using a mouse. Everything was running fine until it updated to Windows 10.

Flash Playback Problems

Mac G5 Flash CS3
Hi,
I'm creating a movie with a swift flies quickly across screen, but in playback it always appears as if there are two or three swifts flying together almost on top of one another, a sort of stuttering effect in the playback. I've tried altering frame rate/frame number ratio; tried viewing the swf file in the external movie player, but nothing seems to improve it.
Is this lack of smoothness a basic problem in Flash with moving objects, or is it something to do with my Flash preferences, or even my computer settings? What are the standard ways to try and increase smoothness of playback in Flash?.
Thanks for any help!

Ah, progress - you were right! I needed to increase frame rate to maximum 120 to get close to what I'm after. There's still the appearance of 'multiple fames' as the swift enters the stage - perhaps this is an optical thing? - but it is pretty smooth thereafter.

Encore flash playback problem

Hi folks,
As I'm a complete noob when it comes to Flash, I would really appreciate your help with this one.
For one of my clients, I have made a flash video using Adobe Encore CS5.5 (I'm now using CS6). I just made a dvd with menus as I normally would, but this time, I exported it as a flash site, as they preferred this over a hardcopy on dvd/blu-ray.
The goal is to play this flash video in about 150 paydesk terminals, some running on Win XP and some on Win 7.
Flash Player 10.3.181.34 is installed on all the terminals, with no active x plug-in.
The video codecs are standard from Windows, with Flash 9 included.
The video will be streamed from a server of the network administrator.
The terminals are not connected to the internet, only to an internal network.
As I understand, to be able to play this Flash file, at least flash player 11 is needed.
So at the moment, my client can't play this file on any of these terminals.
They asked me to make the flash video compatible with their systems, but as I already told you and them, I'm a complete noob when in comes down to Flash.
So my question is:
Is there any way to achieve a downgrade of this file to Flash 9?
Or do you suggest some other workaround?
If needed, I can provide additional info on my clients system.
Thank you all in advance!
Tamas

If the vid file is a .f4v, then you need at least Flash Player 10, not 9.
If you want to stick with Flash player 9 (as your code says), then encode as a .flv.
If you see part of the .swf but not all, then it it not a local security issue... it's more likely an incorrect path to one or more of the associated Flash assets. The .swf is not finding the file (.flv for example).... hence, that part of the Flash does not display.
Not sure what your folder structure is ... but for your review:
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Firefox / flash playback problem related to the trackpad or mouse. On flash sites, e.g. YouTube, video is halting while audio is continuous; influenced by moving touchpad on MacOSX. FF only problem as plugin works correctly on Opera and other browsers.

Shockwave 10.3.183.10

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

Why am I having imbedded video playback problems in Lion?

Hello all,
I'm been having problems viewing web videos on my 2011 MBPro 13'' w/ OS X Lion. Any time of web video I have normal sound by the video frames get all jumpy, almost like its less than 1fps. The only web videos that do not have this problem is when I watch a youtube video on youtube.com. If I watch imbedded youtube videos, I have the same skittish video playback problem.
I have my adobe flash updated and I used Google Chrome as my web browser.
Anyone else have a similar problem? Fixes? Thanks!
-Sean

Two things to keep in mind
There is a forum for Lion, another for MBP owners, and this is not.
And yes you will find lots and lots of threads of same.... no one looks at those that were "Solved"

Playback problems, skips & freezes

Only recently, a few songs on my playlist wouldn't play. I have to skip to the next song in order for ipod to play. It has also been slow, unresponsive and occassionally freezes when I press the key to skip to next song. I connected it to my computer via the FW port and for the 1st time I've noticed it immediately start checking the ipods hard disk. The diagnostic checked out okay. And the software update is also current at version 2.3. Does anyone have an idea what's happening and how I can fix the playback problem?

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preferences > Other/ Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts.
    Quit Safari.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-ins

FCP X playback problem when updated to Lion

I am having playback problem in FCP X since I update to Lion.
I transcode my material to ProRes and I also crated proxy but I still have the playback problem.
I didn't have this problem with Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
What can I do:
Should I change my NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 to ATI Radeon HD 5870
Should I add more RAM from 12GB to 32GB
What can I do please help.
My Computer:
Mac Pro (Early 2009)
2 x 2.93 Quad-Core intel Xeon
12 GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120
OS X 10.7.4 Lion
FCP X 10.0.5

I started my Mountain Lion upgrade and couldn't get it to load. Turns out that even though I had my Lion upgrade in the apps download section from a year ago, I never upgraded to Lion in the first place. In my case I had to download Lion before I could upgrade to Mountain Lion. Hope this helps.

Driver-related video playback problems.

Hi,
I've been experiencing less than stellar video playback for a while. My system is P4 1.6A 256MB RAM with msi FX 5700 128 MB running on WIN98 SE . The thing is that before upgrading my drivers to 50.XX series , I never had video playback problems, totally smooth, then after the 50.XX series, certain video clips froze for a second when opened, then when I installed the 5306 drivers, my system used to freeze for a second before video playback and video seeking stuttered and froze a lot. Since upgrading to 56.55 and then 56.64 version , the freezeups and stutters are gone but now the quality of the video playback is really crappy and also there is this horizontal border around the video and it looks kinda 'squinched?!?' . This erratic video behaviour has been going on through out my upgrade from a FX5200 to FX5700 card and with both MSI and nvidia drivers. Presently I'm using nvidia non-branded drivers 56.64. Also, why do these newer drivers keep dummy-proofing there options pages, you cannot even experiment enough with the settings anymore and I'm afraid Riva tuner or powerstrip might not work with the newer releases.
I haven't experienced any problems with video games, just video playback, either windowed or full-screen. I would really appreciate any help with this problem, its getting to be like an itch at the back you just can't scratch.
Thank you

What power supply u are using?
please list out the spec fully.

Update on playback problems with AIR 3.5 on desktop

Adobe has received reports that desktop AIR 3.5 users of BBC iPlayer and Digital Theatre Desktop Player are no longer able to play or download video after upgrading from AIR 3.4 or earlier. Specifically, the user will attempt to play the video and will get a black video window or will fail to successfully download videos. Adobe is working on a permanent resolution for the issue in AIR 3.5. In parallel, Adobe is working closely with the BBC and Digital Theatre to offer support and investigate interim resolutions. We will publish an update as soon as we have released the fix.
In the meantime, the work-around for affected users is to migrate back to AIR 3.4. The following link provides instructions for determining the version of AIR currently installed on your machine. If you believe you may be experiencing a video playback problem caused by migrating to AIR 3.5, your video service should be able to tell you whether they believe going back to AIR 3.4 or earlier will resolve the problem. If instructed to do so, the following steps here can help you uninstall your current version and locate and install a specific AIR version for installation on your Windows or Mac PC.
Please feel free to report your issue or reproducible steps here and we will alert you once a fix has been put in place. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support.

Please note that I have followed the BBC's instructions to uninstall Air v3.5 and iPlayer Desktop and then install Air v3.4 and iPlayer Desktop, but contrary to what they and you say, this has made no difference - iPlayer still can't download programmes to iPlayer Desktop and it still can't find the programmes I had previously downloaded. I surmise that maybe uninstalling wasn't enough and that some fault remains that still prevents the programme from working. I am not an IT expert, so I would need more comprehensive instructions to fix this.
You may like to note that I downloaded Air v3.5 several days before iPlayer Desktop failed, and I am pretty sure that I used iPlayer Desktop in between times. After it failed, it was very reluctant to even open, let alone do anything when, after repeated instructions, it finally did open.
You may also like to note that I began to experience a ridiculous amount of buffering on radio playback straight from the BBC website before and after iPlayer Desktop failed. I don't think it can have been a broadband issue, as I could stream both TV and radio live and I could stream TV playback with no problem. Since reverting to Air v3.4, I have had no buffering. I doubt whether this is a coincidence.
I have an Acer 5745PG with Windows 7, Intel Core i3-350M, NVIDIA GeForce 310M and I use Firefox.
Don't you guys beta test stuff?

Jumpy Flash Playback

Hello all.
I'm new to the forums and relatively new to mac so please excuse any blinding ignorance.
I am having problems with Flash playback eating up loads of processor power and as a result am getting jumpy Flash playback on several sites. Some are worse than others but Lovefilm, for example, is practically unwatchable.
When I stream videos via the internet (all browsers are equally as bad, but I predominantly use Chrome) and check the activity monitor, I find that Flash is using up most of the available CPU resource. I am on:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Hard Drive: 250 GB
OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4
I have done some research and found that this seems to be a relatively common problem, but have not been able to find a resolution. This thread seems to sum up the same problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2000693&start=0&tstart=0
but with no real resolution. I have checked on the adobe site and it says that I am running the latest version of Flash.
Does anybody have any ideas what I could try?
Thanks.

Flash on Mac is generally a poor performer, particularly on Macs, so there may not be an immediate solution. First, though, try removing your current Flash installation using Adobe's uninstaller:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/uninstallflash_playerosx.dmg
and reinstalling the latest version. That might help. If not, you can try the beta version of the next release:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
and see if that works better for you.
Hope this helps.

Toshiba "Flash Card" problem

1 out of 3 times I boot up my computer, after vista fires up I get an error that Toshiba Flash cards has a problem. Then windows flies off to go seach for a solution and always comes back with none.
Meanwhile, while this 2 minute dance is going on, no other app can be launched. Or, if you do launch a browser or email application, it will freeze up.
Thus far, no upgrades to Vista have solved the problem nor have any Toshiba updates.
Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks!
Tom

hi tom!
if you already did updates, uninstalled & reinstalled toshiba utilities but still have the problem, try restarting to safemode w/ networking. download toshiba utilities again & install it on the computer. but in case you still have issue, you can disable startup & services options on system configuration utility. in Run box type msconfig. go to the services tab, click the box at the bottom that says hide microsoft services & at then click on disable all. go to startup tab & then click on disable all. close the window & it will ask you to restart the computer. this is just a workaround to isolate your computer from locking up. to undo changes, just enable services & start tab on system configuration utility following same steps above. the exact resolution for this is backing up your data & performing recovery using original recovery cd for this laptop. have a nice day!

IOS Music Player MP3 Gapless Playback Problem

Hi,
I've been having this gapless playback issue on iOS now for the past few years, since at least iOS 6 if I can remember correctly. The number one reason I use an iPhone and iOS devices is for gapless playback in the iOS music player. For the last few years I've been experiencing a bug with the stock iOS music player on my iPhone 4S using iOS 6 and on my iPhone 5 using iOS 6 & 7, and currently on my new iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.2. This only happens on my iPhones and using iOS, this bug is not found when I use my iPod classic or when playing the same albums through iTunes.
I thought it might have been spotted by other iOS users and fixed in iOS 7.1 or at least the current version of iOS 8, but instead it's gotten worse, albums that used to play smoothly between transitions now suddenly pause and jump for a split second when changing from track to track.
What's happening is, I listen to a lot of albums that are continuously DJ mixed and play straight through without any pauses between tracks, and I've been experiencing problems a lot now with random split second pauses between tracks and choppy transitions. These albums in question have been ripped from cd using the latest versions of iTunes.
For example,
I'd be listening to an album and it would play gapless and smooth for most of the album, but maybe one or two transitions on the album would have a split second pause between them, and the rest of the album would play perfectly with no pauses, skips or jumps at all.
This only happens on my iPhone, as I have a 160gb iPod classic and I've listened to all the same albums on it and never has a problem playing the album without any pauses, every album plays 100% smooth and gapless on it.
I mailed Apple about it through their feedback page on their site... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Hoping that they would take note of this and try and look into it and fix the issue. That was probably about a year ago now, never got fixed or got any confirmation back from them about this problem. Then last August, I'd had enough and contacted Apple support to notify them about this issue. They told me the usual story, "have you tried restoring the phone?", which I obliged and did. The problem was there on a freshly restored iPhone 5.
So they told me that they would put me in touch with someone higher in Apple to take the case further, "great" I thought.
I spoke with a senior care advisor and explained the problem and agreed to send detailed explanations of the issue and test files too so that they could hopefully hear what I was talking about. But after a few weeks of going back and forward, I finally got them to hear the issue with the random pauses, the first week they denied there was a problem and said the files played ok on their test iOS devices, so I myself tried the files on another iOS device and the same problem was there.
The last correspondence I had with the Apple care advisor was back in the end of August / start of September, and she told me that they spotted the issue and was told by the tech's that it would be fixed in a future update, I never got a when this would happen, I was just told to make sure my iOS device was up to date with the latest version of iOS. I couldn't speak to an actual technician, got no follow up support, just a vague "We'll look into it." Case Closed.
I got so sick of this problem that I sold my iPhone and iPad just after this last phone call with the Apple people, and switched over to Android. I'd being reading up on gapless playback music players and found out that there's a good few available for Android devices. I got myself a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, twice as powerful as the iPhone 6 and half the price. I was using that for the last few months, and playing my music through Neutron Music Player app which is a great music player which plays gapless 100%
But I couldn't really take to Android OS, seeing as I've been using Apple products for around 10 years now and iOS since the iPhone 3G. So I decided to contact Apple again and see if they'd fixed the music player issue in iOS yet.
I wrote a long email explaining the problem, how it wasn't really looked at properly, and how I was a long time Apple customer and had to resort to switching over to Android because the basic music player functions on iOS devices have bugs. I took a chance in mailing this to Tim Cook's offices, I knew he wouldn't reply personally, just thought that it might get read by someone in his offices with a bit more say in the matter.
Just before Xmas, I got a call from someone from executive relations from my local Apple offices about this. He seemed nice and was aware of the problem from reading back through my emails and previous case notes from August when I opened this case originally.
We had a talk and he said he would get one of the tech's to call me too about this so that I could explain the bugs to someone more knowledgeable about iOS.
A few days later I received a call from one of the tech's at Apple and was chatting to him, explaining the problem. His response was that he thinks Apple doesn't support gapless playback on current iOS devices. From looking at the gapless playback information page on the Apple support site below, it looks like it hasn't been updated to show any iPhone models after the iPhone 3GS... http://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT201644
I was trying to explain to him how ridiculous this sounded, why would Apple stop supporting basic functions on their music player on iOS devices? It makes no sense at all? You can see that the amount of hardware devices and software that supports gapless playback today... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback#Player_support
He couldn't explain either, he just said that because it's not listed there on the Apple support page.
Then the next day I got the follow up call from the Apple executive relations guy, he was stating that he was speaking to the tech guy that called me and it looks like Apple doesn't support gapless playback anymore, from looking at the documentation on site.
I told him how stupid this was, and how lots of music players have gapless playback as standard today. And if they don't support it now, then why does it play through some parts of the albums on iOS ok and then just randomly pause, or have jumpy / choppy transitions on the rest of the album. If it was the case, no albums would play gaplessly at all, it would be like when the first ever iPod's were released back in the day with no gapless playback and would pause for a split second between every transition.
He couldn't give me an answer and said that maybe down the line they would start supporting it again, and that I should request the feature to be added to future iOS versions via the iPhone feedback page... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
He just kept on emphasising that it was "NOT A BUG OR ISSUE", trying to cover up the problem because the info on the site wasn't updated to show the current iOS devices. Which in itself is wrong, looking at the page it says "Supported iPod and iPhone models (make sure you have the latest iPod or iPhone software)"
iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS only go up to iOS 6, so that contradicts itself when the latest version is iOS 8.
The info is out of date and needs to be updated. So in August I was told, "we found the issue and will look into it" and a few months later, "it's not an issue", what's a cop out.
I was annoyed and taken back by this response, and really found it hard to believe that this was the case, Apple stopping supporting their music player on iOS devices. Seeing as iTunes plays everything smoothly and no gapless issues. I just went out and bought an iPhone 6 for €900 / $1060, and for that money you'd expect it's basic music player to work. It's total BS to think that a top computer software / hardware company would just decide to abandon basic functions in their devices, especially when we are talking about how much Apple takes pride in their products and how much more they charge for them over their competitors.
So this is my next step to try and get this problem seen and out in the open more. The more people who know about it and are aware of the issue, the better.
Hopefully more people can get the word around and get this noticed by Apple and finally fixed.
I've uploaded some test files below to show the problem. The files are mp3's and aac, and have been ripped from cd using the latest version of iTunes. The mp3's are the ones with the issue, but the aac play with no problem. If you listen to the transition at the end of track 2 (2-02 Colours (JH Re-Edit)) going into the start of track 3 (2-03 Your Body), you will notice the split second pause / jump. But listen to the aac version and compare it to the mp3 version and you will hear that it plays back fine, just as it's supposed to. Try them in iTunes too and both versions playback fine, no jumps or pauses.
You can download them here, all links have the same files, I just uploaded them to different hosts for other people's choosing...

http://www42.zippyshare.com/v/37047710/file.html
https://www.sendspace.com/file/lubcmc
More files can be provided if needed to show the problem happening on various other albums.
I really hope that people can spot this issue too and help get this fixed, I know this gapless playback feature might not be important to some people, but like I said at the start, it's an essential function for me in a music player and I use it on a daily basis when I listen to music.
Thanks for reading this long rant of mine, appreciate it.
Ger

I believe this issue occurs only between songs that iTunes has converted to a lower bitrate for you during transfer to your iOS device and songs that it has not done this for. Take this Between the Buried and Me album, for instance. I have marked all of the transitions that should have been gapless but probably aren't in red. I know for sure that most of these marked transitions are indeed broken and that the most of the transitions not marked in red work flawlessly... I honestly can't remember whether or not some of these transitions were gapless or not, but the many transitions I do remember working or not working match up exactly with whether or not the songs on either side of the transition were also on other sides of the 256kbps threshold, the threshold at which I enabled iTunes to convert tracks to 256kbps AAC.
I'm going to try re-sync'ing my library with that "feature" disabled and see if it fixes my gapless playback problem. Will post the results once I test it out.

Upgraded to CS3 and Flash no longer works in browsers

Since upgrading to CS3 my Flash no longer works in my top
table. Exact same files worked fine in CS and CS2 and whatever it
was before CS. Any Flash that is in the top table on any of my
pages doesn't appear.
Now it doesn't appear in IE or Firefox. Can see it fine if I
"preview in browser" but when uploaded to site can't view at all.
Any solutions? Please reply to [email protected]
Thanks.

Hi Fred,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
