Videos don't play until fully buffered?

Every video i try to play doesn't actually start till the video is fully buffered. It's not so bad if its a 2 min video but if im trying to watch a movie or a long youtube video i have to wait ages till it'll actually work.
any suggestions on how to fix this?

Flash video wont play until fully buffered

Some flash videos, like ones from blip.com wont play until fully buffered but Youtube and other flash based sites work just fine. The ads will play, but when they are done it will just be a buffering wheel until it is 100%, then it works like normal.I have tried; reinstalling flash, different browsers (chrome, Firefox, IE), reinstalling browsers, disabling all extensions/plugin, disabling anti virus, but nothing seems to work. When the same video is played in windows safe mode, they work just fine, so its something else running

Post a link to the page, please.

Youtube videos doesn't play until fully loaded

Youtube videos doesn't play until they are fully loaded. It doesn't work for ANY streamed video, not just Youtube. It happens on both Firefox and IE. I tried to uninstall Flash and re-install it, but it didn't help. The only thing that solves it is restarting the computer, but it just returns after some time.
How can I fix it?

Hi, This is the info on the hardware acceleration and system requirements. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
The video card affects playback:Although Flash Player can display high-quality video and images by itself, hardware-accelerated scaling uses the video or graphics card on your computer to display images and video more clearly and quickly than Flash Player can on its own.
Not everyone can use it and that's why turning it off helps. Since you have it turned off, then this no longer affects you.
They may be some add on in the browser that is causing this. Kaspersky had been using a URL Advisor that is an "extension"
but whether you have it I don't know. In IE, in the manage add ons, look for "Show"(very light text) and look in all 4 categories for it.
In FF, it may be in the extensions. I'd look in all, addons, plugins & extenstions.
If you find it, disable it. If you don't find it, then all I could suggest is to disable all IE add ons except Shockwave Flash Object and Java and see it there is an improvement. Then do the same with FF.
Hope you find out what is causing it.
Thanks,

Videos won't play until fully loaded when using Flash Player

Hello,
When I try to play videos using flash player, it usually takes a very long time for them to start playing, because they do not start until the entire video is loaded. However, disabling flash player and using something like Quicktime allows me to start watching a video once enough of it has buffered.
I'm currently using Windows 7 x64, and it happens across browses (Firefox, Chrome, IE). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the latest version of Flash player several times, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

How video is played is determined from the content/server, not flash player itself. Are you seeing this happen with YouTube?

The player don't play untill fully loaded that happend to me on all sites :( help pls

i don't know why happening i tried to find a solution but with no luck !
when i start a video it keep on buffering until it's fully loaded i can't play it before that ... >_<

Hi, I'm in strange territory concerning Mac, but using FF, go here and do whatever it tells you.

AS2 - FLVPlayback progressive download video doesn't play until fully downloaded, and sometimes it d

I'm loading video content paths from an external XML file into the FLVPlayback component. The issue I'm having is that the progressive download action is so inconsistent, sometimes it plays the video right away as the video is playing, and sometimes it does not play the video at all until the entire video is completely loaded. I would like to have the video play right away as the video is downloaded. I'm banging my head against the wall on this one. Any ideas?
/*--- autoplay is checked in the components inspector ---*/
playback1.contentPath = getNodeValue(findNode(videos, "one"));

Anyone?

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.

Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

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..

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!

Videos don't play or only play audio in pptx 2010 but they do play in ppts2013

We have a PowerPoint presentation created in 2013. It has a number of YouTube videos embedded in it. When we view the presentation in PowerPoint 2010, the videos don't play at all and there is just a black screen OR only the audio plays
with a black screen OR the video ends mid stream and the audio continues.
How can I get all of the videos to play properly?

How can I get all of the videos to play properly?
We need to detail the quesion as below:
For the local video, (wmv, avi, flv) which is saved in PPT/PPTX data file, we just make sure that the host machine installed the proper video codec package and the video in PPT would play well.
For the online video/streaming video, it doesn't only depend on the host machine, but also network environment or video source(in this case, we say the video in YouTube).
Hope these help.

Music videos don't play back to back

Is there any method to get my music videos to play continuously. Since upgrade to ios5, my iPad plays 1 video then stops. Another video has to be selected before it will play. I want it to play one after the other. It used to work before the upgrade.

In my case, MY MUSIC VIDEOS WON'T PLAY AT ALL! When i classify the video as movie it does play, but when i classify it as music video it doesn't play anymore. I am so ****** because I am more into music videos, I have almost 100+ music videos on my ipod 4th gen. I went to apple's service center to complain, but they only gave me silly solutions for this. Either I download all those videos again which is crazy, or I wait until apple release an update of ios 5. Grrrr!

Youtube videos don't play after upgrading from 3.x to 4.0.1.

Youtube videos no longer play after upgrading from Firefox 3.x to the new 4.0.1.
The youtube page loads completely but the video never starts.
Firefox displays the page like its done downloading the video, but no video.
It displays as "done" loading the page with no activity in the page tab or bottom bar... but the video screen is black. Everything but the video loads.

Hi There
I seem to have experienced the same problem, after applying the APEX 4.0.2 patch, my theme produced errors on the new type of date picker. I use the Bravo theme.
I am now trying to purchase the Delta theme, but unfortunately I see today on the Apex-Themes website that the themes are not available to purchase anymore.
Did you manage to resolve your issue? And do you maybe by any chance know where I can get hold of the Delta theme now?
Regards
Marissa

Online videos don't play smooth

Hi,
I pretty new to mac and now i have to following problem. I tried to search for an answer but with no result.
If i want to look on youtube or ebaumsworld all the vids don't play smooth at all. The sound is oke, but it's horrible to look at.
I tried mac updates but with no result.
Bith safari and firefox have this issue for me.
Hope anybody can help

What model G4 do you have & how much RAM? Any Mac with a processor speed below 1.25GHz will usually have sync problems between video & audio. A low amount of RAM can also cause the slowness. The stock video card is also a contributor.

Why don't videos don't play smoothly? They take forever to buffer

I'm running FireFox 11.o on Windows XP. I clean my history and cookies. I defrag. My add-ons and plug-ins are up to date. I've gone into about;config and played with the dom.ipc.plugins and changed them true/false each one. Why won't the videos I want to watch play smoothly? I use VLC media player and Windows media player and enabled and disabled each one to see if a video will play better on one or the other. No change on the players. Can you recommend anything else I can do to see why videos won't play smoothly?
Thanks in Advance.

try firefox in safe mode and see whether it is happening again

Videos don't play right

Firefox 36.0.4
Android 4.2.2
The vine or instagram videos don't work. I hear the audio though. Any ideea why?

Hi Vanistrator,
I do not know exactly, however I would be happy to help further investigate:
#Do you have javascript disabled?
#Does this happen when you have not add ons installed?
