Usb video class video vs built-in isight with adobe flash player
to get the built-in isight to work on the mac, one chooses usb video class video.
is it the same for linux?
or does linux call the driver 'built-in isight'?
is it different for different browsers?

(1) Built-in iSight is ALWAYS a UVC device and external iSight is ALWAYS an IIDC device.
I do not see how any software, whether OS or browser, could change those facts.
However, I do not use Linux. Because you are concerned about using Flash for Linux,
it seems to me you need to find the correct version of Flash for the version of Linux you use:

When you have the correct version of Flash, you can check Flash Help for specifics:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/index.html
(2) Unless you get the specific answer you need here or in your Linux system documentation,
also check the documentation or support pages from the supplier of the Linux you use.
(3) Alternatively, you can search or post your question in a discussions forum dedicated
to your version of Linux.

After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks
Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane. -
When I try to watch any video clip I get this:
The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.
I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player. It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!This did not work

When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.
The iPad doesn't and never will support the Flash program. You will need to download and install a different browser like the aforementioned Skyfire. Photon and Puffin are also mentioned as browsers that support Flash. Or see if the place you're accessing that video from has an app.

YouTube videos worked fine before installing Adobe Flash Player. When installed the screen flickers after one second, rewinds to the beginning, then plays normally. This doesn't occur when I use Internet Explorer. I have reinstalled both Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player many times but nothing seems to work . Downgrading Adobe Flash Player didn't work either. It seems like Firefox is the problem but I'm not completely sure.
Hi All,
Thanks a lot "cor-el". I also suffered from the above issue. And after I disabled the protected mode by editing "mms.cfg" file the issue got resolved. Now flash player is working fine.

Streaming videos don't play properly with Adobe flash player 10.1
After I updated Adobe flash player I noticed that videos I streamed did not play correctly. A video will begin to play but part way through it will freeze. It will indicate that it is buffering but it never finishes buffering and never continues to play, even if I refresh it. This occurs for several sites such as youtube, megavideo, and wisevid. This occurs for every browser I have tried (Firefox, IE, and Opera.) I also realized today that now iTunes cannot not download video either. When I try it says that parts of the files seem to be corrupted. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash several times but that has not helped. I am using Adobe 10.1 (under version test it says it is WIN 10,1,53,64) and I have Windows 7. I'm not sure if my computer is 32-bit or 64-bit. I don't know how to check this. Please help me with this. I have been trying to fix this for days and nothing has helped. Thanks.
to check your computer configuration, right click on mycomputer and click on properties.
There you can see if its 32 or 64 bit.
But as the flash player is working fine on IE, i assume its 32 bit.
Even i use the same configuration and its working fine on all browsers.
Is it a specific video you are trying to load?
Are you sure about your internet connection speed? -

Adobe Flash Player seems to wait until I am near the end of the Yahoo comics section before it crashes, but not always, sometimes it just seems to have a mind of its own and crashes indiscriminately.
As I am the person having this problem, I am at a loss as to what to say in Reply. I thought I was making progress just by noting that video watchers and gamers were having this problem. Then I thought that it might be worthy of note that it seemed to happen more often when I was reading the yahoo comics section, I happen to like the comics. So, I suppose that my question should be, Am I being discriminated against because I do not watch online videos, play games and happen to enjoy the comics?

Airplay mirroring not compatible with adobe flash player videos
anybody else have this problem with playing adobe flash player video via Airplay mirroring? The video freezes on me and the audio quits...
It is on OSX though. They are playing it from a laptop.
And AirPlay freezes quits and generally does not work well regularly unless you have an absolutely perfect network setup. I am assuming you are using WiFi. If you want to use AirPlay you will probably at least need ATV connected via a wired connection. -

Can't get video with Adobe Flash Player (windows7 64-bit)
Get audio but not video on current version of Adobe Flash Player. Have Windows7 (64bit). Ran every test suggested on website and still no luck.
Can you post your dxdiag report so we can take a look at your system? You might also want to try disabling hardware acceleration.

USB microphone with adobe flash player on chromebook
I am using fash player to record a youtube video on my samsung chromebook. I am trying to use a USB microphone to do the recording. My chromebook recognizes the USB microphone when I plug it in and I select it in my chromebooks taskbar and select it as the audio input source. When i go to record my video on flashplayer and select the microhpone in flash player icon the only option I have is default. Does this mean I cant use my USB microphone or does default refer to whatever microphone i have selected in my chromebooks preference as the audio input.
What are microphone settings?
Microphone settings allow you to select a microphone, adjust its sensitivity, and reduce the echo that may be coming from your speakers.
What happens if I do nothing?
Adobe Flash Player automatically detects any default microphone or other audio recorder on your computer, and sets microphone sensitivity to a medium value.
Note that Flash Player asks your permission before allowing an application to access your camera or microphone. See Privacy pop-up question.
What can I change here?
You can select a different microphone, adjust microphone sensitivity, and reduce echo. The settings you select here apply immediately to the active Flash application. To change the default microphone, select another microphone from the pop-up menu.
To test your microphone, speak in a normal tone of voice and watch the indicator on the left. When the indicator shows yellow, your microphone is sensitive enough for Flash Player to pick up sound. To increase or decrease your microphone's sensitivity, move the slider to the right or the left, respectively.
If you are using speakers instead of headphones, select Reduce Echo. Reducing echo has the effect of reducing the noise coming from your microphone through your speakers.
What if Flash Player doesn't find a microphone?
If Flash Player cannot locate a microphone or other audio device on your computer, the player displays the warning "No microphone detected." Read the documentation for your computer and your microphone to make sure your microphone is installed correctly.
How do I test my speakers?
Click Test Speaker in the application shown below to hear a sample sound. Adjust your speakers or headset so the sound is at a comfortable level.
How can I display this panel again?
You may want to display this panel again if, for example, you want Flash Player to use a different microphone. To display the Microphone panel:
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the application image while it is playing.
From the context menu, select Settings, and then click the Microphone tab.
I don't see the Microphone tab, so I can't display this panel.
If your computer or device doesn't support audio recording using Flash Player, you cannot select a microphone to use, and this panel doesn't appear. -
I CAN NOW... NOT DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS AFTER UPGRADING TO THE NEWEST VERSION OF ADOBE FLASH PLAYER
LETS SOLVE THIS RIGHT NOW! I UPGRADED TO THE NEWEST ADOBE FLASHPLAYER AND NOW I CANNOT DOWNLOAD, USING MY REALPLAYER, ANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS WHICH I HAVE ENJOYED DOING FOR THE LAST, LIKE, 5 ******** YEARS!!!! MY FAITH IN ADOBE HAS JUST BEEN SHATTERED! PLEASE KEEP ME AS AN ADOBE CUSTOMER AND KEEP ME FROM SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER. FIX THIS PROBLEM PLEASE!!!
That's NOT (Repeat: NOT) a Flash Player caused phenomenon. YouTube is converting ALL their videos to HTML5 and RealPlayer (which is pure unadulterated garbage IMHO) isn't able to download them now, and won't be able to until they update their software to handle the format change.
Since Adobe DOESN'T run YouTube (Google does) they can't do anything about this. YOU CAN.
If you use Firefox, you can download AntVideoDownloader and use it to download YouTube videos.
1. It's a plugin, and NOT a full applicaiton, so it takes up less space on your HD.
2. It works with Flash Player (unlike RealPlayer which is a competitor program)
If you don't use Firefox, sorry. AntVideoDownloader DOESN'T work with IE, or Chrome. -
I am currently working in an implementation of a chat system that takes advantage of the flash player video camera access.
I figured that most Mac Users cannot use the video chat option, because their cam does not appear. It did appear in my selection popup of the flash player settings as: USB Class Video
Well it did. After I selected another cam option just to try it, the entry for the USB Class Video disappeared from the popup and is seems to be impossible to get it back. So I am stuck in the same problem as all the others, I cannot access the iSight any more with Flash Player. I have several Macs and all have the same problem now. I tried reinstalliung Flash Player, I was looking for prefs that I can delete but did not find them, the cam remains invisible to the flash player settings dialog.
Is there anyone with a solution to this problem that will help me and all the others with this problem. They all have build in iSight Cams...
With best regards,
OliverHello OJ Software
If the problem is only with "ProWebChat" (or any other third-party site,) seek help on how to make Adobe Flash settings usable in the documentation for that particular site or from their technical support. They should best be able to tell you how to configure and use their services with your system.
You might check Adobe Flash Support to see if they have known issues with your "ProWebChat."
