Video play: having problems with certain files.

I am unable to play certain videos on my Macbook.
I have installed flip4mac, and it shows as a plugin on Safari.
I have installed WMV 9.
I have installed JAVA.
I have all current OSX and Quicktime updates installed.
An example of a video that I want to play, from tv station KWTX.COM, looks like this:
javascript:playVideo('1245766',%20'Heart%20Health%2002.15.07',%20'v',%20'Health' ,%20'95167',%20'Health',%20'fvCatNo=&backgroundImageURL=',%20'ww2.KWTX.com');
I'm stumped. I don't know what to try next.
Any help appreciated.

Matthew
I believe this forum is appropriate for your question.
Your symptoms sound like an issue with negotiation of segment size and fragmentation. Path MTU Discovery is generally used in setting up a TCP connection to discover the largest frame that can be sent without requiring fragmentation. However there are things that can prevent PMTUD from working properly. Most especially there are some networks that block the ICMP response of Fragmentation Required but DF Set. So the end stations do not find the optimum frame size. If the end station sends a maximum frame size (as most would) and somewhere along the path the frame needs fragmentation, then the packet will be dropped.
Your symptoms sound like in trying to go to those sites you open the TCP connection, the first several frames are relatively small and succeed, so you see the initial message from the site, but then are sending large frames which get dropped.
One way around this is to configure ip tcp adjust-mss and set a smaller size. I have encountered symptoms like yours, have set the size to something around 1360, and had things work very well. I suggest that you give this a try and let us know if it helps.

  • Is anyone else having problems with large files, such as installation images, becoming corrupted when downloaded in Mavericks using Safari?

    I am finding that when I try to download a disk image file, such as Office 2011, it reads invalid checksum, is corrputed and will not install. I tried to download it several times and even unchecked in the Disk Utility Preference Pane to verify checksums. The way I solved the problem, was to go to my Windows Machine and download the image, put it on a USB flash drive and install it on my Mac from the stick. Not a proper solution, but it did work. Has anyone out there had this problem? This is applying to any large .dmg files not just Office 2011.

    I'm having exactly the same problem with the dmg file for Office 2011, tried downloading from my windows machine with no luck, still having the invalid checksum message.

  • I am having problems with certain pages on our churches website. It is the pages where pictures are posted. Any ideas what can cause this?

    Our church website has 2 links with pictures. I am not able to click on the link and see them. This is the only site I have a problem with. I have tried to change my settings but nothing seems to help.

    Do you ave ad-blocking software or use an extension like Adblock Plus?
    If a link has '''ads''' (uplo'''ads''') in the file path then that is the first to check.

  • Firefox is having problems with certain web sites, but IE is ok

    Top of page is present in IE but not in latest Firefox.

    Is it a safe assumption that website is your's? <br />
    What difference does it make which browser '''''you''''' use? Isn't your website for client's or potential clients?
    That said, I don't have a problem with that web page on Firefox 2.0.0.20, 3.0.19, 3.5.16, 3.6.13, or the 4.0b9 nightly - it looks the same as in IE8 on 32-bit WinXP SP3, with an AMD 64-bit processor.
    The problem shown in your screenshot is with your own Firefox installation. It's like all the "styling" is turned off.
    ''''' "I infer Firefox needs a 64 bit version." ''''' <br />
    What good is a 64-bit browser without 64-bit plugins? <br />
    Adobe still hasn't released a 64-bit version of Flash, although they do have a "preview" version available. <br />

    ''BTW, Mozilla does have a Windows 64-bit version of the Firefox 4.0 betas that is being tested now, but it is not going to be released in Jan / Feb when Firefox 4.0 is released. It will probably be released later in 2011 with one of the 4.# versions, I suspect right after Adobe has a 64-bit Flash release version.''

  • I am still having problems with audiobook files that go silent after playing for a few minutes on my iPohne 4S and iPod touch.  This is happening to others but I notice no support being offered.  I downloaded them from iTunes.  Any ideas?

    This problem only surfaced a couple of months ago.  Audiobook files which used to play fine suddenly startted to cut out after a few minutes (playing according to the countdown but silent).
    I tried restoring, resetting, etc but nothing worked.  THen  I deleted some and redownloaded.  BIG MISTAKE.  iTunes tried to bill me for these again!!  I have been in dispute for week about this and they have finally promised to refund this as it is a 'special' case, but there are still book that are cutting out!!!
    This is frustrating and there seems to be no way of sorting it out.  The files play perfrctly through iTUnes from my PC but each time a update, the same problem occurs.
    Help!!!

    Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
    What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

  • I am having problems with downloading files, what is wrong and what can I do?

    When I try to download a file (ex: file from mediafire) when it gets the windows that lets me choose where to save the file, the window closes and FF automatically downloads the file to a certain place...(last place file was save too)
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Not sue...I think it started with the new upgrade...(3.6.6)

    No. There is no other location. Be patient. Read the posts in the Bootcamp Forum. There are hundreds of posts about your issue and what to do. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • Is anybody having problem with uploading files after Os X 10.9.3 update ?

    I can't upload files from my computer or dropbox using interface/online plateform because my files appeared grey/inactive, can't press the "chose" or "open"

    Hey Guys,
    After recent SMC+EFI update on Macbook Air (Mid 2013) OSX v10.9.3, my internal audio device disappeared,
    I tried everything I could find in google with no luck. (NPRAM+SMC reset, reloading kents etc.)
    THIS IS WHAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR ME:
    1. I opened /System/Library/Extensions folder, there I found besides the usual AppleHDA.kext, also an AppleHDA.kext.disabled one.
    2. I switched between them (swapped their names, sometimes you'll have to do it from the "get info" menu to take effect)
    -- if you don't have this AppleHDA.kext.disabled one, try searching for one lil older than yours in the internet
    3. then I unloaded and reloaded the kent dir again-
    sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
    sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
    And voila!
    Hope it helps someone, as I spent hours until getting this to work again

  • Multiple Customers having Problems with .pem files -chain certificate

    I have 2 different customers who recently started using weblogic. My Applications are ASP hosted web services and require digital certificates. For added security, our CSO uses a <b>chain certificate</b>. The private cert is signed by an intermediary verisign cert which is signed by the Root CA. <p><p>
    Embaressingly, I just found out one Customer completed <b>side-stepped the BEA implementation for .pem files and implemented a non BEA class to work around</b> based on difficulty they had trying to get the .pem file for the intermediary verisign cert to work. I am stuck in that I don't want to advise the second client to do the same thing, but I can't find great support on what to do and some of the BLOGS are conflicting. From what I understand, this first client struggled on this for <b>2 weeks and gave up.</b> <p><p>What I am trying to ascertain is whether the <b>private</b> .pem file is suppossed to have <b>both the RSA PRIVATE KEY as well as the CERTIFICATE of the intermediate cert inside that one .pem file or not</b>. I can see their needs to be a .pem for the intermediary and a .pem for the private but not sure if any of the data should repeat.
    <p><p>
    Also, good samples of how these should look would help. The .pem files my client showed me looked incorrect.
    <p><p>
    Please note both these clients are top Investment Banks and I think it's in both Bea's interest and my interest to see this work on Weblogic without coding around the default Weblogic security implementation.

    Hi Patrick,
    If you fixed the issue changing your PowerShell code, would you mind posting the working code here for reference for other people that might experience this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Anyone having problems with art/animation/audio disappearing from the timeline after a save?

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with many files losing their assets from the timeline after a save and reopening the file in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. This is happens quite often now and there seems to be no pattern to it. For example, I will open an existing Flash animation complete with sound and artwork, make changes to the animation timing, test the SWF and everything looks good, then save. After reopening the exact same file, there will be audio that was on the timeline will be an empty frame. In addition, there is art work that was swapped out or updated to a character and the symbols becomes empty after reopening. I'm losing days and hours of work and I can't seem to find any answers or help to figure out what's going on.
    Any insight would be appreciated!
    thanks!

    I now use CS5.5 but I've noticed it on every version since CS4.
    I JUST ran the latest update to 11.5.1.349
    I'll let you know if it continues but for now I'm planning to learn a new software. Finally have some time to focus on this and if it works out I may say so long to Flash. I'll give CS6 a try but if it's not SIGNIFICANTLY improved (Brush tool comparable to ToonBoom, No losing data, Better Playback, Ability to export HTML5), it's just not worth it anymore. I've been using Flash since version 1 and since Adobe took it over, I hate to say that anything other than actionscript has gone WAY downhill. Many new features but they don't actually work well, or crash at runtime if used beyond a tutorial's level intensity. What's the point of all that functionality if it looks like garbage and can't perform on a professional level? Even if you do take the extra time to work slowly or limited to make it look nice - it loses the data! or now without HTML5 your venues of use are sliced in half? Pointless. I don't want to trash all my Flash experience, but I'm done defending an inferior product and waiting for it to catch up to a modern professional standard. I think my Flash days may be over very soon unfortunately. I feel like the're more interested in defending what they've created, than in making it work or even asking us what we want. I feel like a Girlfriend who's Man keeps promising to get steady work but hasn't after 10 years. Flash...we need to talk.

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
    Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
    No idea why that was suggested.
    You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
    Check these folders:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

  • I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update.  Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before.  Help!  Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

    I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update.  The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing.  Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating!  I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help.   I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.

    I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
    This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
    As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
    Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
    Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.
