Viewing Flash Videos in IE8 with limitations

Hi All,
My OS is XP 32-bit SP 3.
Flash player 10.1
Default Browser IE 8.0.6001.18702
Problem:
Watching Fox News videos are impossible when only the black video window comes up , while Fox business videos are OK.
IE8 loads the News videos with error when try to watch it:
Message: 'videoPlayerFlashVars' is undefined
Line: 110
Char: 7
Code: 0
URI: http://video.foxnews.com/
All other type of videos are OK with IE8.
Watching the same videos with FF browser error free and flawless.
I need help to solve this.

Hi eidnolb,
Remember when you said Flash videos don't work with IE on Fox videos
that FF worked for me on their website videos (both news & business) and that was my partial (only partial because works with Fox business videos for me) solution for IE:

=> Troubleshoot Pop-up Blockers Movies do not appear after installing Flash Player (tn_19091), then Solution 2.

Is there a way to view Flash videos on my iMac without downloading Adobe Flash Player? I'm concerned about performance and security with Flash Player.

If the video is only available in a format that requires Flash player : then no.
However, a great many can also be viewed in an HTML5 version, in which case http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/ or similar can be set up so that Flash never runs unless you specifically choose it to.

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video.

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video. I attached a image below.

ATR, just to make sure you understand me, all my video clips in my folders appear as the first frame of the video clip when I view my folders as (small, medium, large)icons instead of lists, when saved as .avi files but when saved as .mp4 files, those icons display as a graphic icon of filmstrip with a musical note on it. I do have various other methods to open with (quick time, windows media, winamp or real player) but prefer real player because I like it's quick and easy trimmer that comes along with it, since so many of my videos are just pet antics where you need to clip off the boring beginning and ends of the video.
I did go on a few of the icons and right clicked, Open With, and tried quick time and also Windows Media and it did nothing as far as how the file was saved for display, and they opened the same no matter which player I used...the actual video opens and plays right at it's first frame... but it's the way it is visually displayed in STORAGE that bugs me because it isn't immediately apparent to me what it is a video of (weddings, outside the house, pet antics)... it makes me have to actually title things and read titles where before I let it just be dates because I had the visual of that first frame as a reference. Obviously, this is a problem for unedited videos only, as anything I actually work with, I do give a title along with the date of the video.
I also just realized this seems to be the way ALL videos that are wrapped in .mp4 are displayed, as my bloggie camera's videos appear the same way. Now I know why! My other videos display as .avi's so I see the frame. Puzzle solved. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, as it seems to be how things display with the various formats.
Now I need to watch some tutorials to learn how this Premiere program works! It's all new to me, since this is the first time I've been able load any of my videos onto it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to trim on it yet!

I am unable to view flash videos from all websites except youtube after updating to Firefox 4. All help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

You can also try Puffin or iSwifter. One of those might work for you, depending on the site(s) you need to view. All get mixed reviews, though.

Mouse wheel scroll fails after viewing flash video

It appears that viewing flash videos on hulu or youtube "breaks" the mouse scroll wheel function. The rest of the mouse buttons remain unaffected - the forward/back buttons work fine, as does the mouse-wheel-click scroll and the mousewheel-left/right scroll.
The scroll function remains completely unaffected in other applications.
Closing the window or tab that had the "offending" site in it sometimes seems to return things to normal, but not always.
I use flashblock and noscript, but disabling either or both of these vital plugins seems to have no effect.
Just disabled both plugins again to test once more, loaded a vid on hulu, and stopped it; all seemed fine, but after hitting "back" to go back to my queue list there, the scroll stopped working.

focus owner was null
requestFocusInWindow();
after the move did the trick

How can you view flash video on ipad

Is there an app that you can get that will let you watch flash video on your iPad? Since adobe flash is not supported on iPad

You can try one of the app/service combinations for playing Flash such as Skyfire , Puffin, or iSwifter. One of those might work for you, though they all have limitations and do not work with all Flash-based sites and services

Fan speed and CPU temp viewing Flash video in Firefox vs. Safari ?

My MacBook (two months old) running the latest Safari version (3.1) seems to be working unbelievably hard when viewing a flash video. The temps seem to cycle between the high 60s and mid 70s, and the fan blows at max speed constantly. On the other hand, when viewing the same flash videos using Firefox (2.0.0.12), there is only a slight boost in temp (high 50s to low 60s) and the fan speed hardly increases at all.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Why would the flash player on one browser be so much more efficient than another (Safari seems to labor, while Firebox breezes along)?

Thanks!
Well I guess the code in the Safari browser just wasn't well written. This is true even of the later version of Safari. It does work much better in FireFox, with no crazy heat-up or fan action.
I've pretty much given up on Safari now on everything by my iPhone and iPt, and only because I have no other choice.

Problem viewing flash videos full screen

When I go into full screen mode, the video freezes but the audio continues. The only way to fix this is to view it in "normal" mode and to refresh the page. When I right click on the video to access the settings in order to disable the acceleration, "settings" is not clickable. Help??
Win7 64 bit
FF 3.6.15
Adobe Flash 10.2.152.32

You can try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

Flash Video Encoder conflict with Safari for Windows

I installed Safari for Windows (AMD/Windows XP) without the
options (no Bonjour) and found that it disabled Adobe Flash Video
Encoder (tries to reinstall, can't find msi, can't reinstall from
disk, 1 keeps asking for disk 1). Uninstalled Quicktime, didn't
help. Uninstalled Safari, rebooted, still can't get Flash Encoder
working.

timtro;
Many (myself included)won't be installing safari/win until
the final
release, and I suspect Adobe won't test much until then
either, so it's
probably best to report this to apple as a possible bug with
their
beta. -Tom Unger

Thank you Jamesabth and GenaroRG for your responses. Someone

looks like
exactly what I've been looking for. I'll give it a try first.
Thanks,

Choppy flash video on hulu with a twist

OK so get this: If my mouse is stationary the video on hulu is choppy and really annoying to watch. If my mouse is moving (at all) the video plays perfectly. I have eliminated processor/bandwidth issues as possibilities and I have tried no mouse/generic mouse driver/updated mouse driver with no success. This has to be an issue with flash but I can't seem to resolve it.
Windows XP 32 bit, IE7 Athlon 4400 Dual Core, 2GB dual channel RAM, evga 7600GS 256MB video/500gb hdd with tons of free space.
Please help!

I feel your pain. I have the exact same problem. I don't have an answer to your question but wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in having this issue. Hopefully, we will see a solution soon, because it is highly annoying to have to move your mouse around to be able to watch a video.
Ironically enough, this is similar to an issue I have with Adobe Premier with having to move the mouse so that video playback while I'm editing doesn't lock up on me. Wierd...

Youtube/Flash videos play but with no sound

I have gone through other posts both here and elsewhere trying to fix this issue.
It happened, so far as I can tell, after the most recent set of updates that I installed (less than a week ago; my computer is set to update every month). Youtube and any other Flash videos online will play the video, but the sound option has a red x on it and does not allow me to have any sound with the videos. This occurs both in Safari and Firefox.
Videos played through Quicktime (even .flv files downloaded from Youtube) play just fine, without any problems at all.
I have changed the Audio Midi settings, uninstalled/reinstalled Flash player (and repaired disk permissions), reset PRAM, opened up Garageband/Quicktime/All other audio programs, and to no avail.
I am running 10.6.6 on an iMac G5. My other iMac G5, which had the same set of updates installed, does not have this issue, which makes it even more baffling.
I am almost to the point of backing up the computer's contents and doing a clean install of the system, but that seems like an overkill solution.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Flash video image problem with newest nVidia driver

I've got a very weird display error since the last update. Basically, whenever I play flash video and afterwards close the browser (chromium), any purely black surfaces will display the full flash player image. The effect is only visible in the "first" window of a xmonad tab, that means if I cycle the window positions it will be in a different window. The others are not affected. When I restart X, I can see the flash video image flashing up shortly on the black screen. Restarting X fixes the issue. I cannot take any screenshot of the problem because the error is NOT visible on the screenshot. Therefore I suspect that some frame buffer used for the flash player is not getting cleared properly after exiting the browser, but it's really little more than a wild guess.
As there are multiple components involved, I'm at a loss of where this might be coming from. I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this situation. Please post here if you have the same problem or have any idea why this happens!
My setup:
-nvidia 260.19.36-2
-flashplugin 10.2.152.27-1
-chromium 9.0.597.94-1
-xmonad 0.9.2-1
-xmonad-contrib 0.9.2-1

if you asking about a bug reported on arch linux bugtracker, then you are doing it the wrong way.
flash and nvidia are closed source, we can't do anything. A better place is to submit bugs to nvidia and adobe.
Now i see that nvidia 270.26 was released. Maybe you want to check that out:

View flash video

i am trying to play a flash video in dreamweaver, on my
website, and it is not working at all. it seems like some of the
text glitches once in a while. it works fine though in the editor
when i run it. i have also tried to play another video on my
website (.swf format), and that worked. why is this one not
working?

I tried Firefox but I still can't play embedded videos there either. I didn't have any issues at all until those darn Windows updates installed
As far as the security settings and trusted sites.....that's not my issue here. But thanks for trying.
Any other help would be greatly appreciated.
