Video playback failure w/ Safari 5

Hello,
Some, though not all, of the videos on my site do not play via Safari 5.
Have installed Firefox on this MacBook Pro, and videos play without issue.
Would appreciate if you could see how the video on the below link works for you.
http://www.allaboutsmith.com/allaboutsmithibb.html
Have installed QuickTime 7, thinking its absence might be the problem, but it appears not to have helped.
I welcome your advice.
Thanks,
Z

It will load if you tell the QuickTime browser plug-in to open .mpg (MPEG-1) file format.
Difficult to do in Snow Leopard, however as it doesn't have a QuickTime System Preference pane.
On the older Mac OS's you would use the QuickTime System Preference pane / Advanced tab to edit the MIME Types list to add .mpg to the list for QuickTime.

Video playback issue in safari.

I hope some knows the answer to this.
I converted many videos on my website so they could play on the iPhone iPad and iPod a few months ago.
I used winff. Everything worked great.
Now I have the latest iPhone and none of my videos will work. Safari says it cannot download the file.
Here is the link to the videos. Could someone take a look and hopefully give me an idea.
http://www.bigfloridacountry.com/iphonevideos.htm
Thank you.

Ok I found out some info from another user on this forum.
m4v will not play or safari wont let it open on ios 4, it worked find in 3.1.3 and before.
The fix is this, just change the extension from m4v to mp4
Then Safari lets it open.

Video playback in Firfox/Safari crashes entire system

My trusty little iBook is now almost 4 years old - after two logic board fixes, it seemed to be running fine. Then one day while repairing permissions using Onyx under Panther (10.3.9), the whole system crashed. Since then I've had to downgrade to the original Jaguar (10.2.4) install - I can't seem to get it to upgrade back to Panther with any sort of stability.
While I can live with Panther (God I miss Exposé!), I find that almost every time I view any video within a webpage in Firefox, either the browser crashes or, worse, the video freezes, the audio sputters, the machine becomes completely unresponsive, and the only way out is to do a hard reboot. I'm thinking maybe I have some video card issues??
Any help/suggestions would be great!!

Not enough space. The figure that is bandied about is 15% of the total capacity should be left free. On a 60 GB hard drive, that means 9 GB should be left available.
If you've done several Archive and Installs, you will have a folder called Previous Systems. You could safely delete that and regain some space.
Have you tried repairing the hard drive (not just permissions) by either by booting into Safe Mode OR by starting up from the Jaguar Install Disc by inserting the disc and restarting your computer, holding down the C key as the startup chime is ending. Then choose Installer > Open Disk Utility and select the hard drive in the left column. Choose the First Aid tab. Click Repair Disk to test and repair the hard drive.
Once you have repaired the hard drive with either Safe Mode or the Install disc's Disk Utility, then start up normally and repair permissions from Disk Utility in the Utilities folder on the hard drive.
Once you've deleted the Previous Systems folder and repaired the hard drive, you can try the Panther installation again and see if you have any better luck with a new Archive and Install.
Good luck.

Why is the video playback on safari so slow?, why is the video playback on safari so slow?

Recently my Safari is not keeping up with youtube video playback anymore. Firefox on the other hand works just fine. Has anybody else had this problem, or maybe a solution even?

Isolate. New user (follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199). Safe Boot (follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455). Test to see if Quicktime has the same issue by watching videos at http://www.apple.com/findouthow. Is your Flash player up to date? Visit http://www.adobe.com to check. Let us know.

No video playback in Safari

I've just installed the latest Flash player on Mac 10.8.2 and when I try to play video on and on Safari 6.0.2, I'm only getting audio, no images – just a white screen. You can see the problem here: http://londonrififi.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/skunk-anansie-2009-interview-skin-and.html. I've tried uninstalling, re-installing to no effect. No problems with video on Chrome or Firefox, and when I uninstall Flash, Safari can play video. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Could you try disabling hardware acceleration to see if that helps? I just gave this a try on my Macbook pro (OS 10.8.2, safari, latest flash) and wasn't able to reproduce the problem.
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?

Quicktime "plug-in failure" in safari 8.0.5

I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and get a quicktime "plug-in failure" in safari 8.0.5 when playing mov files at http://www.time-science.com/timescience/timelapse.asp

So it's something unique to my setup
I wonder how to fix it.
Tried uninstalling adobe flash, restarting and reinstalling as I noticed that idea in some web searching
This is what I get for the "Flowers":
Sorenson Video 3 is a legacy codec that is only passively supported under Yosemite. QT 7 and the QT browser plug-in can still play this content. However, QT 7 Pro can only export to this compression format if the codec is turned back on by the user. (I.e., active QT export support of the "legacy" codecs was turned off under Lion.) Further, Sorenson Video 3 is neither QT X or QL "playback" compatible but can be converted natively by QT Player v10.4 if desired.
Not sure if your error message is supposed to indicate that the QT browser plug-in is missing or is simply corrupted. Problem could also be in the way the web site is coded to play the files but I am not a site programmer so it would do me little good to examine the code use. On the other hand, I do already have a "Test" web site set up for a user trying to get his files to play in an older version of Safari so I added test pages for the Sorenson files from the site you referenced. See if you can play them from my alternate test pages. If they play there, then the problem may be site, otherwise, if they still don't play, you may need to reinstall the browser software.

Multiple video playback issues

Hi All,
I would dearly appreciaty any light anyone could shed on this issue - I have run into a couple of Flash bugs that have stumped me for quite a while, and my deadline is aproaching fast.
Essentially, I would like to play back 3 reasonably high res videos (On2 VP6-S) simultaneously in one Flash App (using flash.video, netstream and netconnect - code only). Unfortunately, when I do this, the video playback drops a lot of frames, however, CPU usage does not go much above 50% - spread over both cores. I'm using a Core2Duo. If I play the same 3 videos simultaneously in 3 separate flash apps (FP10), they play much better (and use close to 100% CPU). I even tried creating it as an AIR app with 3 separate windows (NativeWindow), but that made little difference. I have lodged this as a bug via the Flash Bug Reporting System (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-2341).
And yes, I do need to be doing something as crazy as this - it is for a pretty cool kiosk app, so I know what hardware will be used (and it has a good Graphics Card).
One promising workaround appeared to be playing back a single NetStream in multiple Video instances, as it is NetStream that does the decoding, so I could decode once and present it in 3 places. Two of my video objects are actually the same flv (on different monitors), so there would be a 33% saving right there. If necessary, I could encode both flvs into a single 1920x1200 flv (I've checked - it would play back ok) and then use video.mask to show the relevant bits.
However, another bug has been reported at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-920 saying this does not work - Video in the object that last called attachNetStream(ns) will play, all others will freeze. They do mention a workaround that gets both videos to play - reset the size of freezed videos on ENTER_FRAME event. However, I cannot get this workaround to work - my first video is empty (not even frozen).
So there are a couple of things I would love any feedback on. Firstly, if anyone has insights on how I could get this to work. Secondly, if anyone could try the "multiple videos on one netStream with workaround" code below (simply copy, paste and point to a relevant flv) and let me know if it works and the versions of software they used, I'd be very thankful.
---------------Code Begins-------------
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.Video;
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
showRedrawRegions(true); // both the placeholders and the entire window redraws every frame.
// When only video1 is attached, only video1's region is redrawing
// When both videos are attached, both video's regions are redrawing, BUT video1 is empty.
trace ("Capabilities.version = " + Capabilities.version); // = WIN 10,0,22,91 // in Flash CS4 10.0.2
//var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection( null ); // Got Eror: 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
// Connect nc here ...? Unnecessary in this case?
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.client = new Object(); // Simplest way to deal with cuePoints and metaData by doing nothing. For more, see http://blogs.adobe.com/pdehaan/2006/07/playing_back_flvs_with_actions_1.html
var stream:String = "test.flv";
var video1:Video = new Video(); // Defaults to size of 320x240
var video2:Video = new Video(); // Defaults to size of 320x240
video2.x = 320;
addChild(video1);
addChild(video2);
ns.play(stream);
video1.attachNetStream(ns);
video2.attachNetStream(ns);
// PROBLEM: Video in the object that last called attachNetStream(ns) will play, all others will freeze.
// See WORKAROUND below for solution:
//WORKAROUND to stop the first split stream from freezing:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(e:Event){
video1.width = 320;
video1.height = 240;
trace ("video1.videoWidth = " + video1.videoWidth);
trace ("video2.videoWidth = " + video2.videoWidth);
// When only video1 is attached, video1.videoWidth = 1920, video2.videoWidth = 0
// When both videos are attached, video1.videoWidth = 0, video2.videoWidth = 1920
---------------Code Ends-------------
Letting me know what exact versions of the following software was used would help a lot:
- Windows/OS (e.g. XP SP3).
- App code was written in. (e.g. Flash CS4 IDE 10.0.2, Flash Develop 3.0.1).
- App code was compiled in. (e.g. Flash CS4 IDE 10.0.2, Flex SDK 3.4.0.6955).
- Type and Version of Flash Player used (e.g. Standalone Debug Flash Player v10,0,22,91).
The versions I used are listed above.
Lastly, for what it is work, I found three interesting/informative results, but they didn't help me:
- When only video1 is attached, video1.videoWidth = 1920, video2.videoWidth = 0
When both videos are attached, video1.videoWidth = 0, video2.videoWidth = 1920
- When only video1 is attached, only video1's region is redrawing
When both videos are attached, both video's regions are redrawing, BUT video1 is empty.
- var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection( null ); // Got Eror: 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
So I had to change it to:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
Does this mean my NetConnection class is different and maybe incompatible with this workaround?
Many, many thanks,

How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

hi slideaway!
my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

Video playback--mba 2010 w/mountain lion

Has anyone noticed terrible video playback on 13" 4Gb mba 2010 with the mountain lion upgrade? Youtube using flash (11.4.402.265) at 1080p is unwatchable and 720p is barely watchable at full screen. Connecting to a larger monitor is much worse. I could do all 3 when I had Lion. I'm not running any other applications at the time and used the app Free Memory to clear the RAM cache before playing a video. I've tried firefox, chrome, and safari (which I prefer), and they all had similarly poor results. I previously used html5 on lion, but those gave me choppy results and found flash to be better. Any suggestions?

I tried unchecking "enable hardware acceleration", but the results were similarly poor in safari 6 and chrome. However, while using safari 6 on youtube, I opted for the trial html5 setting and it now plays 1080p smoothly at full screen. Hopefully, this might helps others struggling with the mba 2010 processor.

Video Playback in IE

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to Flash and am also experimenting with a Flash Media
Streaming Server. I am trying to get video streaming to work with
my new website, and the video so far plays great with no problems
in web browsers such as Firefox/Safari, etc.
However, in IE, the playback is noticeably worse. I can't
figure out why! I originally thought it was a streaming issue with
the server, however, this wouldn't explain why other browsers are
handling the stream better. Also, pausing the video playback and
un-pausing makes no difference, ruling out a buffering issue.
Every I.E. browser I try the below video in, the video is
jerky and not smooth. I should note also that if I try to play the
video directly through
http://flash-server.hermonsd.org/test/
(Streaming Server Test Page), it works perfectly in IE.
So I am concluding that the issue is with the compiled Flash
file used directly on the below link. I'm using nothing more though
than the provided FLVPlayback module that comes with the latest
Flash CS3 software. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong and
what I can do to improve the playback quality in I.E.?
Example Video is here:
http://www.rihanna-online.net/videos/dontstop/DontStop.html
P.S. To avoid a possible flame post about copyright, the
website hasn't opened yet and tentative use for construction is OK
while the record label is reviewing the website to contact me
back.

With weeks of research, I found the cause of the issue. It's
not related to the media streaming server.
It appears there is a known issue with the WMODE function in
Internet Explorer and Flash. When I removed the WMODE code from the
HTML pages calling the flash, the videos played flawlessly.

Issue with video playback in Flash Player

I am currently doing some voluntary work for my mom for the local branch of the Alzheimer Foundation. Now I have encoded a video to mpeg4/h.264 and F4V using the Adobe Media Encoder only I am having not much luck to get it successfully played. Now is my question what could I be doing wrong? I already tried to use ActionScript 2 and 3 and disabled GZIP compression on the server and even tried different files like H.264 and F4V.
The strange thing is that the video always work just fine when being tested in Flash CS4 10.2 but when I tried it in the browser it fails. The Test Movie feature of Flash is using the following player version MAC 10,0,12,36. I am using 10,0,32,14 MAC in my Safari browser and their the movie plays fine once the file is fully downloaded (how can I change this?) only when let friends try it out which have version 10,0,32,18 or the same version it doesn't work for them. Also when I am using an older version doesn't seem to work. I thought that H.264 support was added in some version of Flash Player 9. One of the issues which I was getting that the video playback worked lovely in Test Movie with the below listed alzheimer.mp4 url but when testing after the SWF and HTML were uploaded to the webserver it failed to work and I was receiving a FileStructureInvalid error. Now I would expect that the video file would fail in Test Movie too when the video file structure is invalid.
I have tried the following video files both encoded with Adobe Media Encoder:
http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer.mp4
http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer08.f4v
The current player can be found at:
http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer.html
I have attached my As3 version of the Flash file which is normal easy video stuff.
Anyone happen to know what could be the issue here? I am getting desperate!

Yes, I have just used the normal Video-object together with the normal trick to load Flash Video files with it. Nothing special only with a full URL for the play()-method. I have attached the source code for your convenience. The original files are edited in Premiere Pro CS4 and are based on one original ripped DVD vob file and a newly created Quicktime-based slideshow animation which has then be edited into one using Premiere.
After that I have selected the sequence of the Premiere project which I have exported using File > Export which is using Adobe Media Encoder. For the encoding I haved used the Export Settings: "Format FLV | F4V", Codec On2 VP6 and then altered the video size and bitrate so that the file size gets smaller this is for the Alzheimer08.f4v file. The other file used the H.265 Web Medium profile with also the video size and bitrate modified after it got encoded and uploaded to my webserver.
The original files used by the Premiere Pro project are:
VTS_01_1.dv
Type: DV Stream
File Size: 2.6 GB
Image Size: 720x576
Average Data Rate: 3.4 MB/Second
Compressor: DV - PAL
Quality: Normal (3.00)
SLIDESHOW 2.mov
Type: QuickTime Movie
File Size: 3.2 GB
Image Size: 720 x 576
Average Data Rate: 3.4 MB/Second
Compressor: DV - PAL
Quality: Most (5.000)
Above information is obtained in Premiere Pro by selected Properties-option of the submenu when selecting the file.
Hopefully you can use this information but I could upload the original Premiere Pro project over the next few days. If you would be interested in it.

Possible video card failure?

Screenshot:
http://users.vianet.ca/dtrudel/example1.jpg
I've started having problems with playing 3D video games, like the system totally freezing up and I'd have to reboot, or I'd get weird graphic things happening like in the picture above. At first, this just happened when playing games, but now it just happened when I was using safari. The pixels and weird lines don't go away until I reboot. Also, my system has completely locked up on me a few times over the last couple of days...when I wasn't playing any games...I was just checking my mail, or accessing a drop-down menu from the menu bar. When it freezes, I can't force quit...the system is totally unresponsive and I have to use the power button.
I've gone through most of the standard troubleshooting steps:
Verified and Repaired Permissions
Ran TechTool Deluxe
Ran the Apple Hardware Test
Ran OnyX
Deleted Preferences
I also created a new user for testing as advised by an Apple Care Rep and did a Clean Install of OS X
The tests (TechTool Deluxe and Apple Hardware Test) indicate that everything is supposedly fine.
When my system crashes, I often see this line (or something similar) in the logs:
Nov 24 20:57:59 localhost kernel: ATIRadeon::submit_buffer: Overflowed block waiting for FIFO space. Have 5, need 6. RBBM_STATUS 0x8009c111. VAPCNTLSTATUS 0x00000002
Has anyone had this experience, and can anyone confirm if this is indicative of a video card failure? My understanding is that the video card on the eMac is part of the logic board. The Apple Rep said the last thing I can try before taking it to a service center would be to erase everything and reformat. I really don't want to do that unless there is really some reason to believe that it might actually solve the problem. I mean, I'd have to spend several hours reinstalling everything, etc.
emac Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.25 GHZ, 512 RAM, ATI Radeon 9200

the video card was bad, needed to have the logic board replaced

Jittery video playback

I'm not sure where to post this, but I'll try here. Hope someone can help.
Lately I've been having issues with stuttering, jittery playback of video materials whether it's on Vimeo, Youtube, full episodes of television shows, HD videos, whatever. None are playing well. I called Verizon and they say my internet connection hasn't changed on their end in the last few months.
Is this a Safari issue? Has anyone else experienced the same problems?
Or do you think this is a video card issue? I have two 32MB cards - ATI VGA and NVIDIA GeForce1 MX. I recently bought a new monitor that's is 1680x1050 resolution. 64 MBs should be fine, right?
Mac OSX 10.4.11, Safari 3.0.4, Quicktime 7.6, Flashplayer 10

Hi,
There have been some posts that claim that repairing permissions can sometimes help with slow/jittery Flash video playback.
Run Disk Utility and repair permissions on your boot disk to see if that makes any difference.

Youtube video playback freeze

Hi,
I've been experiencing a lot video playback freezing, I've noticed it happens on youtube. It is not my internet connection, the video freeze even it's already been downloaded. It happens with all video resolution from 360P to Full HD, I've tried all majors Internet browser: Firefox, Safari, Chrome.
I have Leopard, a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM.
A 250GB HD with (at least) 10GB of free space.
It shouldn't freeze for so low quality videos.
Any help?
Cheers,
-- rafael

Do you have powered speakers or headphones plugged in?
If so, try unplugging them and seeing if it will play the video.
I started having this problem right in the middle of watching a video and it would freeze playback every time I plugged in my speakers. Internet searching yielded no results, but an OS software update from 10.6.2 to 10.6.4 fixed my problem. You say you have Leopard, so I am not sure if a software update is available for you, but check under the apple menu > Software Update. If there is an update related to the operating system, install that. It worked for me!

Video playback on macbook pro

how are macbook users getting the internet video playback to work?
I copied files from the airbook library that were designated for flash and quickbook player. No luck. I am very disappointed. What I am reading is a blockage of Apple programming to the Adobe programming. Really?
Please provide the work around. This is extremely important to me to see videos playback in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I am a web developer and this amazes me when a large investment has been made by Apple's client.
