Video's don't play in browser

When I try to play certain types of videos, I get a picture of the QuickTime logo with an arrow under it and a message that says, "An error occurred inside a plugin contained on this page." Then, when I press OK, it says, "The plugin did not initialize properly." Then if I click that logo, it says, "The plugin was found, but an error in the plugin has occurred."
Edit: Okay, now these videos don't have the plugin messages, but they just show up with the Quicktime logo with a question mark (?) above it.
Also, videos on YouTube.com play fine, but videos embedded into another site just show up as what looks like a text box (like the one I'm typing into write this question), but don't scroll or anything... Is this related?
It also might be helpful that the "Flash media" box is NOT checked in the Control Panel, and I've tried unchecking the "Play videos automatically."

  • Itune video downloads don't play on the new ipod

    I am able to purchase video content from the itunes site and play it on my laptop, but downloads to my ipod have audio only even though the video format is supposed to be supported. ( this is true for both TV programs and music videos ) Apple's Ipod helpdesk is well....helpless. The tech I spoke to says its ITune's issue not Ipod's, claiming the file format should be supported but may not be and there is no apparent way to know. ( the tech couldn't tell either from the file information from Itunes )
    Is video content purchased on ITunes playable on Ipods? If not, why is that not apparent before you purchase something.
    Last comment, customer service from ITunes is very poor.

    Hi DebiKen, welcome to discussions. We are other users, not Apple support...in case you thought we were.
    If you have a video iPod, you may have better luck over on the 5th gen iPod boards. Not all of us are lucky enough to have a video iPod....

  • IPad video downloads don't play all of the video from iTunes

    This is the second time this has happend to me with video downloads. I recently rented a movie on itunes (on my ipad) set to download over night and the next day while watching it with my wife about half way through the movie it stop playing.
    I reset the ipad and nothing happends - still the same problem. Now again it is happening with a tv episode I downloaded. Plays about 1/3 of the show then stops playing. It seems as though the entire episode didnt download but itunes says it does because it no longer shows as downloading. Is there any way to redownload the video without having to pay for it again? I've looked online for answers to this question for a good few hours and have uncovered nothing! Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Could it be that the rental expired?
    What videos were they and were they SD or HD?
    You can try testing on another Wi-Fi network, to rule out connection issues.
    You may have to email the iTunes Store.

  • 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?

  • Ipod u2 5.5 Don't play videos.

    Mi ipod don't play videos. I can hear the sound but the video don't see. but when i connect the ipod to the computer, i can see the video in itunes without problems.
    Looks like the ipod recognized the video like a song. i see the alblum artwork and the info of the song, and also i hear the audio, but don't reproduce the video.
    The video was downloaded in iTunes!

    ARe you going to Videos -> Movies/Music Videos/Whatever to play it, or are you browsing under Music -> Artists/Albums/Etc? If you are browsing under Videos, check to make sure that TV Out is off by going to Videos -> Video Settings. If it is on, turn it off.

  • Videos don't play after web gl is disabled

    '''''Summing up the text below:'''''
    Videos and and flash applications don't work anymore after setting "webgl.force-enabled" to true (in the Firefox configurations). Setting it to false again doesn't solve the problem.
    Hello.
    Yesterday I tried to open a website called zygotebody, which makes it possible to look at a 3d-model of the human body.
    However, the website told me the following:
    “This product uses WebGL, which your browser does not appear to support.”
    So I searched the internet and found '''this article''':
    https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/720087
    I followed all the steps of the provided solution and entered "about:config" in the URL bar, and set "webgl.force-enabled" to true.
    After restarting Firefox, the website was displayed without any difficulties.
    But when I wanted to watch a video on YouTube today, the message "An error occurred. Please try again later" popped up instead of the actual video. I have the same problem with any other site showing videos such as vimeo or clipfish. '''Videos just don’t show up''' there.
    There has been '''no software update''' neither of flash nor firefox nor windows in the meantime that could have caused the problems.
    So it is obvious that this must have something to do with me stupidly playing around with Firefox settings...and the only thing I did is setting "webgl.force-enabled" to true.
    Even '''setting it to false again couldn't solve the problem'''.
    Somehow reinstalling Firefox doesn't work, as the downloaded .exe just stops working after extracting.
    I '''couldn't find any fitting help''' in the forum or the FAQ, either.
    So I'd be glad if someone could help me here!
    Thanx in advance!

    Reinstalling Firefox should be possible, however a simple re-install is unlikely to solve anything of this nature if Firefox is still running. So I will ignore that for now.
    [/questions/720087] mentions several prefs not just ''webgl.force-enabled'' If that is all you changed then resetting it should have solved the problem. It may well be worth resetting all the prefs, but first of all lets explore another possibility.
    I note from the system info aside that you have FlashPlayer 11.3 and RealPlayer software installed. You may in fact be getting a problem because of Flash 11.3 issues
    * see [[flash 11.3 crashes]] (ignore the fact the title mentions crashes) <br/>Follow the instructions in that article and downgrade to the secure Flash 10.3 (or the less secure 11.2)
    ** Does that allow video to work again ?
    Please post back with how you get on, and state whether or not you downgraded FlashPlayer and if so the exact version you now use.
    NOTE
    * this is a temporary workaround, it reduces security marginally as you loose the new ''protected mode'' feature of Flash use on Windows
    * if you followed the instructions in the linked article and used Adobe uninstaller that may have unintended consequences. For instance you may need to reinstall Flash in IE .
    * If the fix works, do not follow suggestions to upgrade Flash, from Adobe or Firefox's Plugincheck until this issue is resolved.
    * Developers from Flash, Firefox & RealPlayer have been working on this for a few weeks. There have been, and will be other releases of software, since this issue was first noticed but AFAIK there is no imminent solution on the horizon that is likely to satisfy all users.
    * presumably it is only Flash & RealPlayer videos that are problematic

  • HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

    I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

    tl:dr?
    Really?
    There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
    Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
    I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

  • Is there any reason photos in an album page display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

    Is there any reason photos in an album page created in iweb display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

    there are three displays in photos page:
    1) thumbnails grid - smallest
    2) deatial view and detail view slideshow - large
    3a) pop-up slideshow - vary - this is slideshow.html
    3b) or iphone/ipad slideshow phoneshow.html - iphone/ipad can't do pop-up
    it's difficult to know which you refer to.
    if you refer to pop-up slideshow then you should not look into iwebmediagrid.js as wyodor suggested.
    instead look in phoneshow.html and change width and heigth of element id slideshow:
    #slideshow {
    position: relative;
    width: 320px; /* this is default width */
    height: 360px; /* this is default height */
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;

  • Play again button after video is done playing

    Hi,
    I need help with some flash video stuff please... I am importing video into flash via FLVPlayback Component..
    What I would like to do is have a button after the video is done playing that offers to re-play the video and may be another button with some other action.. I"m sure it's some kind of "if" statement... (to see when the video is done playing) but I'm very new to AS - I would really appreciate any help. Thanks ahead of time!!

    What I"m trying to do is have a movie play (with auto hide controls), and once it's done playing, I wanted to have an option to
    either play it again or do something else, like to to all movies etc. Now my code doesn't give me any errors but it still doesn't doesn't do what I want it to do. Now it plays the movie and afterward the button appears.. but it doesn't restart the movie..
    import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
    import fl.video.VideoEvent;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    bttn.visible = false;
    player.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, addPlayAgain, false, 0, true);
    function addPlayAgain(e:VideoEvent) {
        bttn.visible = true;

  • I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems.  As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play.  I don't think I have done anything differently.  Does anyone know how to fix this.  I have tried unplugging it

    Hi, I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems for over a year.  As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play.  I don't think I have done anything differently.  Does anyone know how to fix this.  I have tried unplugging it waiting 30secs and then plugging it back in.  I have tried restarting, updating and reseting but nothing is working.  It's quite frustrating!!!! Any suggestions????

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Videos don't play inside blogs?

    How come my videos don't play. I thought you could just drag and drop a video inside a blog and it would turn it into a podcast or at least could be watchable. It just goes to a no page apple thing.
    As you can see, I am just figuring it out..
    http://web.mac.com/latelyoften/iWeb/ech/life%20rush/life%20rush.html
    thanks for the help

    ellie?
    To start with you should only have to specify your short iWeb URL in order to reach your pages. The problem with using the longer page URLs is that you are likely to change these (and with them, the URL), whereas the short iWeb URL will always lead to your default start page.
    http://web.mac.com/latelyoften
    Try that. Goes to your pages just fine.
    As far as your video goes, there are some pages in your blog that aren't even there anymore for whatever reason. It also seems that on some pages, your movie files are no longer present. Have you been picking through the sitefolder possibly?
    For starters, I would strive to keep a single format for your movies. You want them to be able to be played while they are downloading, so I recommend enabling what is called "fast start" in your movies. Don't know what this is? No problem. I'm about to give you a one click kind of fix for your video files.
    Try downloading this program called iSquint. You can get it at http://www.isquint.org . It's a free program, so there's no reason not to give it a shot. Basically, all you have to do is to open this program, then drop all of your movie files into the list window, then select a quality setting using the slider, and hit go. Your movies will then be automagically converted to a very uniform .mp4 format complete with fast-start enabled. All that's left to do is to drag your newly formatted movies into iWeb and put them on your podcast pages.
    After you are done placing your movies where you want them, I would highly recommend doing a "Publish ALL to .Mac" command under the File menu. There are currently a lot of strange things going on with your site with missing pages and what not. This "Publish All to .Mac" command will clean everything out and lay everything back down file by file...and with your new movie files. I think you will find a real improvement!
    Let me know!
