Video's starting and stopping
i have ie7 and downloaded flash 9, using windows xp, i am
having trouble not just on the youtube.com website but other
websites also, when i try and select a video to play for example on
youtube.com, it starts to play but 2 or 3 seconds into playback it
stops for around 10-15 secs and plays again for around 5-10
seconds, is someone able to tell me what i can do to resolve that
please as pulling my hair out now, not sure if its anything to do
with settings or what?
Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if videos play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.
If you still get the stop/start problem, run a check on the speed of your internet connection using a site like the one on the link below, in case this is what's causing the problem.

Videos keep starting and stopping
I cannot play videos from websites or YouTube, The video will
play a few seconds, stop for a few seconds or minutes. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled Flash.
OS: Windows XP Professional
Browser: IE 7 or Firefox 2.0.0.16
Connection: High speed dial up
Video Player: Flash 9
Thank you.It is now working fine for me (knock on wood).
There are a couple of things I tried, so I am not sure if it
was a combination of these, or if something else changed. First, I
uninstalled and reinstalled the player a number of times. (After
doing this each time, however, it still kept starting and
stopping.) Second, I right-clicked on the player during playback to
pull up the settings, clicked the folder icon, and set the local
storage to maximum. (After doing this, however, it still kept
starting and stopping.) Third, I ran an updated version of
Ad-Aware, which caught and deleted more tracking cookies than my
virus checker was doing. The next day, everything on the Daily Show
site seemed to work fine (still haven't checked other sites).
So my suspicion is that some kind of tracking cookie
installed itself and was causing the problems. I hope it
helps. -
Can Video widgets start and stop when entering and exiting the browser viewport?
I like to use multiple autoplaying/looping video clips on a single page but I need to figure out how to make the videos start only when they enter the viewport on a browser and stop after they exit the viewport. Does anyone know a way to do this?
I do not know if this can have an affect on it but the videos are being downloaded through multiple computers to a private server and being accessed through the mac. Please let me know what you think.

When i am on youtube, the videos keep starting and stopping. Why?
some videos play alittle longer before it freezes and then begins again....and keep doing throughout the video... sometimes the video wont play at all...please help...thanks
Assuming your internet connection is not the problem, go to Youtube and start to view a video. Pause the video, and then right-click on the video. Flash will then pop up a context menu, click Settings. On the first tab of the settings menu there is an option to de-select "Use hardware acceleration." If the box is not checked, check it, and if it is already checked, un-check it. Then try to play the video again. You may need to re-load the page afterward.
You'll want to update your outdated plug-ins, like Java. See:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
Please return here to report your progress. -
The two websites where I have the most trouble are www.diamondalignment.com, and blogtalkradio when I go to my switchboard. Every time the site refreshes firefox starts all over again, circling backwards then forwards.
On every site I go to the circle icon goes backwards for some time then finally goes forward. This has really slowed down my computer. Appreciate your help.Hi again, LOL, sometimes it is just a small thing like clearing cookies/history that gets overlooked:-)
You know, can't see the Forrest for the Trees..
I'm glad it's working as it should for you!! We have enough to do, right? Like dealing with all of the Windows Patch Tuesday Updates, LOL
Thanks for marking your thread as answered too.

Flash media player starts and stops
I have Flash 9,0,115,0 and it works according to the test on
the adobe website. However, when I try to play google videos, they
start and stop and and freeze. What am I doing wrong?Is there a way to get a hold of this tool or any similar
"before" I install FMS 3.0. I'm glad I didn't install it last
weekend. I didn't know there were some risks of not playing my
current flv's. Now, I want to check all of my flv's before I make
the move...
Also, is there any chance at all, that the
start/stop/start/stop condition in all my videos (under FMS 2)
after 2 connections could be blamed on the player? I have a custom
made player. Can you point me to the right resources?
I'm fairly new to this technology and really appreciate your
time in answering my questions.
Thanks,

WHY DO THE VIDEOS I AM TRYING TO VIEW (YOU TUBE ETC) START AND STOP ALL THE TIME.. I HATE THAT!!!
Why do the videos that I am trying to view (you tube etc) always start and stop. it is very annoying and I can't seem to fix it.... thanks for your pointers... as you can see, I am not a techie. the fact that numbers, letters and picture appear on my computer screen is
Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
A suggestion:
Go to YouTube, open any video and press pause (don't do this while video is playing).
Click the ctrl key or “right click” the mouse in the middle of the video window. The settings for flash player will pop up.
Select the video settings then select "enable hardware acceleration."
Press close.
Now RESTART YOUR COMPUTER not just Safari if that is your browser of choice.

Inserting FLV videos that allow student to start and stop anywhere
Hello,
I am inserting flv videos that students need to be able to start and stop anywhere, and when the video reaches the end, the student clicks on the NEXT button to go to next slide.
As long as the student lets the video play without any interruptions, the NEXT button appears at the end.
THe problem I am having is that everything works except the NEXT button is not appearing at the end of the Video unless the NEXT button is visible for the whole time the video is on.
If the NEXT button is visible during the whole time the video is showing, the student is able to skip the video without watching it.
I need the students to view the whole video as part of the course.
Is this possible?Your original post didn't mention that the students should be able to repeat a portion of the video again if they choose to do so. This of course complicates matters further as you would then need to show either one of the standard Captivate playbars or use a Playbar widget as you are doing now. However, this also opens up for the user being able to skip the video once again, so it's not the best solution.
As I see it you have two options:
1) Present the video without the playbar as I described in my first post. Add the next button at the end of the video. This will make sure that the video has been watched to the end before the user can continue to the next slide. Perhaps you could add a "Replay" button so that the user would be able to watch the entire video again simply by replaying the slide.You can create Start and Stop(Pause) buttons by inserting Smart Shapes or Regular buttons and assign an Advanced Action to Pause or Continue the project.
2) Modify one of the Playbar widgets so that the scrubber and the next button isn't activated until a certain frame has been reached on that particular slide. Once this frame is reached the widget could activate Play and Scrubber allowing the users to navigate to the next slide or move around in the video. However, this requires extensive knowledge of Flash and Actionscript to achieve and it will also be a very troublesome approach as the frame numbers would change if you insert new slides (or extend / shorten existing slides) prior to the slide(s) containing the video.

Why do videos from the internet start and stop, Why do videos from the internet start and stop
When I try to watch even a short video from the internet, it starts and stops....its annying....any ideas?
Maybe the speed of your internet connection has some bearing on it?
But you could give this a try - reset Safari and see if that helps at all.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. -
Videos start and stop such as iCloud information video
When I try to use your video for information such as for iCloud the start and stop. Then I hit the arrow again start and stop. Is it my iPad or your video?
(we are just users, like you. It's not my video)
Are you watching a video that has been downloaded to the pad, or are you streaming from apple's or anybody's website? It sounds like a connection speed issue. If you are streaming, you need a fast connection, 3 g likely will not work well. Wifi usually works better, but again, is dependant on your speed. -

Any thoughts about my disconnecting the ethernet cable from the router and going directly to the IMAC from the modem to see if this makes any difference? My network services the IMAC, my wireless printer and occasionally my netbook, which I rarely use.
Yes! Good idea. In fact, this is the proper way to troubleshoot this issue - isolate the problem by first taking the wifi router out of the equation completely.
Your current speed is in the broadband spectrum, yet it's at the very bottom. I wouldn't be surprised if you experienced video problems at your current speed - even with your local network working properly.
What type of internet service do you have and who is your provider?

Why do online videos start and stop and what to do about it
why do online videos start and stop and what to do about it
It usually means a slow internet connection, or inadequate hardware or both.
It is not a 10.6 problem as such as 10.6 handles video streaming quite well.
In your post this tag seems incongruous in this 10.6 category. -
Starting and stopping video and MP3
I can't seem to get around my video and audio files starting when I arrive at the page. I'm even using some example code with start and stop buttons. This is in CS4 Flash. I expect it's because the ActionScript is in the wrong place because when I run the movie it flashes through all of the pages on the site without stopping at the home page. Is there some generic code that will allow me to simply swap out the name of the video or audio file I want to start. If there is, do I need to locate it on its own layer at the top of the timeline? Thanks to anyone who can help.
>>Why is it that the default setting for a video player placed on the stage
is to start playing when the page appears? I would think it would be
paused.<<
I don't know it doesn't seem any more logical to have it paused. I assume it
is just a preference on the part of the developers of Flash.
>>Is there some piece of script that can correct this situation<<
There are several ways to pause the video playback at teh beginning of the
Flash movie. It actually depends on how you have the movie inserted into the
time line. If you used an FLVPlayback component, then all you have to do is
click to select the component, open the component inspector
(window>component Inspector) and se the autoplay value for the component to
false. If you have the video inserted another way let me know.
>>Forgive my naivete but I am trying to learn the ways of Actionscript
wherever I can find it and builds something at the same time.<<
Thats always hard. What tecnology do you normally work with Ajax? C++
The comment about the behavior of video suggests you work with a technology
that has the opposite autoplay behavior.

Flash video is just awful - starts and stops
10.6.8 iMac 4Gb ram. Main browser Firefox.
Flash video has gotten progressively worse with Adobe updates over last 3 months. Used to run youtube smooth as glass.
Now yt video runs for a 30 sec then stops, restarts after 5seconds, runs for 15, stops for 5. If you rerun the same video (see wrchd.com for Argentine Rally preview video), it stops and starts at the same spots.
I have Little snitch running a you can see a nice buffer load of data come in to start the video, then there is a period when there's no activity until it stops. It sort of like Flash gets carried away watching its own display and forgets to get more info.
Same results watching dailyshow.
I've tried turning hardware acceleration in Flash off and on with no change in performance.
So why does Flash fail now?
Thanks for any advice.Is the video starting and stopping or just the audio? What OS, browser, and Flash Player Version are you using? Can you also provide us with a URL to try out?
Thanks,
Chris
