Vimeo? flash player?

Is there an app or a way of being able to view videos on sites such as vimeo etc?

You need to use automatic trnscoding services like vTap. It's working just great with the iPhone and is able to search and transcode videos for a great number of Flash-based video sites.
Just navigate to vtap.com from Safari, search for your videos, let vTap transcode them (it takes 1-2 minutes) and, then, play them back.
Note that the interface is entirely Web-based and, therefore, a bit more awkward than that of a native iPhone app. Nevertheless, it's perfectly usable.
Let me know if you have problems with using vtap.com.
(Disclaimer: I don't receive any compensation from vtap.com. I recommend them here as I consider them the best solution for the problem - as was also the case a year ago when I published my Youtube Playback bible.)

Audio out-of-sync in Vimeo Flash player in Firefox

I sometimes get reports that videos in Vimeo's Flash player play slightly out of sync in Firefox, but not in other browsers (even with the same version of Flash installed). I've contacted Adobe about this issue as well, but wanted to check if there were any known interactions between Firefox / Adobe Flash that could cause out-of-sync video?

You can advice them to check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

I can't see any video website like youtube, vimeo, even facebook. My flash player is installed and it's work because I still can see the video in IE, only on Firefox it only audio work, the video is all blank(black), anyone can help me?

I didn't update or download anything, then today I can't see any video website like youtube, vimeo, even facebook. My flash player is installed and it's work because I still can see the video in IE, only on Firefox it only audio work, the video is all blank(black),
when I restart my PC again the video can work just first video, then when I see another website video it all black...... (but sound still work)
anyone can help me?

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
See:

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Vimeo audio stutters in Safari 7 (Mavericks), Flash Player up to date, plug-ins are switched ON, extensions switched OFF.

Noticing this problem recently, guessing it has been occurring since the update to Mavericks.
Video from Vimeo is streaming fine but the audio stutters from the beginning and never improves.
As the title suggests, I have ensured that my Flash Player is up to date, I have switched off the new Safari feature which will turn off plug-ins to save power (so the plug-ins are allowed to run immediately on my system) and I have switched off all Safari extensions.
I have found a number of threads in the communities but no solutions so far.
No problems with YouTube audio.
And no problems with Firefox or Chrome - audio is flawless. It is a Safari-issue.
Anybody got any ideas?

1. System Preferences > Other/ Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts.
    Quit Safari.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.
    Press " Manage Website Settings" button for more options.

After installing Firefox 6 Vimeo does not seem to properly recognise the browser and the Adobe Flash Player.

I automatically upgraded to Firefox 6. Whenever I try to view a video on Vimeo I either am told that:
'The video cannot be played with my current setup' and to switch to a browser with native H.246 support or to install the Adobe Flash Player.
or
That no mobile version of the video exists.
I have the Flash player installed and have reinstalled it. I have also reinstalled Firefox 6.

From what I can tell, the problem is not Silverlight, it is the flash plugin (10.3). I uninstalled and went back to FLASH 10.1 and Netflix, flash videos, flash based applications, etc all worked again on my brand new computer. Very unfortunate and frustrating.

PC Freeze Using New Flash Player and Youtube/Vimeo

I just recently upgraded my flash player to the newest version. No problems with Youtube before, but now there is a major conflict. Whenever I try to load a youtube video, my computer freezes. I have about 10 seconds or so where I can move the mouse/cursor, but no input is available. And then my montior goes into sleep mode because it thinks my PC is in sleep mode. The PC fans are still running but no input is accepted. The only fix is to reboot, and then then next time it happens again.
The problem is not Youtube because I have the same problem on Vimeo. And it's not firefox, I have the same problem on IE. And Firefox is fully updated.
I've tried the usual uninstall and reinstall of flash and it didn't help.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the info, but now that you've reverted back to FP vs 9, there is no way to have you check files/settings etc.
I would only be guessing and that wouldn't be helpful.
Flash Player updated yesterday and you can see the versions at this site. Note that the version for Windows that use the IE browsers is different than Windows that uses the plugin browsers. Of course the Installer links will Install the appropriate version.

Programs like VIMEO say that adobe flash player isn't installed but it is isntalled

several videos try to play but say you have to install adobe flash player but I Have it installed in firefox. I look at the apps and its there and not disabled.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Flash Player and Youtube not Working but Vimeo does?

Hi guys,
We are currently deploying Windows 7 out to all Staff and Student PCs, we've had it on our IT Department's PCs for the past year and have had no issues with Flash Player and Youtube.
However, a Tutor reported that when they go to YouTube and select a video it buffers, plays a second or so and then goes to 'An Error Occurred, Please Try Again Later'.
If we disable Shockwave Flash Object it redirects to the HTML5 website and that works fine.
Software:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit
CPU: Various (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel i5, Intel Xeon E5
RAM: 2-4GB DDR2, 4GB DDR3,
Browser: IE10, Mozilla Firefox v19 and v24
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX: v11.8.800.175
Adobe Flash Player Plug-in: v11.8.800.168
Diagnostics:
Tried completely uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, restarting PC, installing Adobe Flash Player
Tried Adobe Flash Player Beta
Tried disabling Hardware Acceleration
Uninstalled IE10, Tried on IE8, Same Issue
Tried removing all Computer and User Policies
Checked if it was a VLAN issue but is happening on both 10.32.x.x (student) and 10.64.x.x (staff)
Tried on IE9 same issue
Scrolling along the seek bar at the bottom shows all of the stills fine.
Enable ActiveX Filtering resolves the issue but that's just because it goes to HTML5 too.
Any help is appreciated
Andy

I am also facing similar issue. I tried literally all solutions and then finally gave up and reinstalled windows 7 after clean format,
Immediately after fresh OS installation,Youtube just worked once with flash player for hardly 3 to 5 seconds and then crashed with error "an error occured please try again later- Learn More"
Tried reloading that same youtube video which initially worked for 5 seconds,but on second try it won't load at all.Tried all the other videos as well and same result,they won't play even for one second and same error "an error occured.."
Scrolling along the seek bar of stuck youtube video shows vid's still images just fine but video won't play at all.
Tried it with firefox,IE,Chrome and same result.
Youtube works fine with Html5 player.
Until 5 days back everything was working just fine, maybe either flashplayer got updated or Youtube changed anything which is causing this problem.
I even did a clean windows 8 install on another pc and that pc is also showing same symptoms.

Installed latest 11.2 Flash Player and drmtest says I need to update

I installed the latest version of Flash but I still cannot watch video on Amazon Instant. Contacted Amazon and uninstalled latest version and re-installed old version. Still didn't work. I updated Java. Still didn't work. I restarted the computer and it still doesn't work. I re-installed the latest version of Flash and it still doesn't work. I searched for "native cache" and finder doesnt' find any file by that name.   I went to the Adobe Flash Acess Sample Video Player and it says I need the latest version of Flash. But I HAVE the latest verson of Flash - so it's not Amazon or Mac its Adobe and this website is not very helpful so far.   Does anyone know why this product doesn't work? I've been troubleshooting and looking for help for 3 hours.
I am running on Mac OS X 10.6

Hello. I have almost the same problem it seems.
I have reinstalled Adobe Flash Player (latest), used the Uninstaller from the website. It installs correctly.
Even tho it doesnt seem right when i check my programs installed.
Because before i had 2 Adobe Flash Player (i use CCleaner for this), I got the Adobe Flash Player Plugin 64-bit
and another at name Adobe Flash Player 11 something. And before i did the same thing as i did now.
But it should probably be only the Plugin one.
Anyways. When i try to watch Youtube videos, it won't use Flash Player at all. And Firefox says
i have Flash Player, and its up to date and everything. But Youtube wont use it. Some do odd enough.
Vimeo use it tho.
And now i came across this thread, and i tried that Profile thing you told. And it does work with a new profile.
With the same Youtube video (copy link from old Profile). So i guess it's the profile that's broken.
Example of videos:
Doesnt work:       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3PMCD7aMRI&hd=1
Works just fine:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ46Ot4_lLo&feature=related&hd=1
But how could i fix this then? Cause i realy don't want to do a new profile and lose all the settings etc i have at the moment.
Would be realy awesome if you could provide a fix for me
I might have been unclear on some things, not that good at english at some points.
So just ask if you need more info and ill try to provide it for you.

Lion 10.7.4 Flash Player Crashes

I am using a late 2008 Mac pro, was running 10.6.8, and all good when visitng flash sites (youtube, vimeo, etc.) Well the other day I upgrade to 10.7.4 and Flash player crashes. In all broswers.
I have tried:
Uninstalling and re-installing the newest Flash player
Installing an older version
Downloading an Adobe debugger
Reisntalling Lion
Reinstalling Web Browsers
PRAM reset
and more.
Any help on fixing this?

Yes I am. I still keep getting the crash error. I have tried everything at this point. But it started when I upgraded to Lion

Flash player not working on embedded videos

Hi
This week my computer stopped playing embedded videos (from vimeo) on my website. The window appears with the normal titles but no video.http://www.vevideo.ie/wedding.htm, only a small box in the top left hand corner.
My computer will play videos on vimeo etc no problem. I also noticed the same problems with a friends blog site, some of the videos I couls see and play, others no http://erolmedia.blogspot.com/
I uninstalled my flash player and reinstalled 10.1 with no difficulty. The problem remains
I use 32bit windows vista business and Internet Explorer 8
Thanks
Paul

Make sure that "Allow 3rd-party Flash content..." is checked at

I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 why do my YouTube and other videos keep stopping

I use Adobe Flash player version 11.7.700.225 which is the latest version. can anybody tell me why my YouTube and videos stop and I cannot view them I have a macbook pro with retina display late 2012 and I am running OSX 10.8.4. Do I need some other flash to view or what thanks for your time.

noelenefromashford,
I'm in the same boat. Safari 6.0.5, stalls, and stops playing video (youtube, vimeo, etc). I tried the same videos with Firefox and they play fine!
Running 10.8.4 on Mac tower.
I just switched from an older Macbook Pro 15" with the same OS version and browsers , and never had that issue. What gives?

Flash Player linux, grey box issue (youtube vids and some applets do not display)

I posted this question on my distro-specific forum as well as linuxquestions.org, however it appears to be a unique problem, so here it is:
When viewing videos on youtube.com, most other websites, and when trying to run certain flash games, the flash applet will not display (though the audio will play). Instead of displaying the flash applet, there will be a grey box where the flash video or applet would normally be.
This problem occurs on Firefox and Chromium, but not on Opera.
My Specs are as follows:
Distro: PCLinuxOS 2010 (32-bit)
flash-player-plugin: 10.1-2pclos2010
firefox: 3.6.6-1pclos2010
swfdec has never been installed (to my knowledge)
I did a lot of investigating about the problem but have turned up no solutions thus far. Here are my results.
Flash videos and applets which allow access to the settings menu (like youtube played from their website) do not display, however flash videos and applets which do NOT allow access to the settings menu (including youtube videos embedded in other websites) WILL display.
Reinstalling flash-player-plugin and firefox through synaptic does not solve the problem (though note that PCLOS works with rpm files, not deb files. apt4rpm does not support the remove --purge operation, however reinstalls are said to overwrite custom configs with stock ones.)
Creating a new firefox profile and/or starting FFox in safe-mode does not solve the problem
Creating another user and running FFox from that user will properly display flash videos
Comparing default plugins between my main user and new user shows that there is no difference. So this likely rules out a defective extension or plugin binary.
Deleting ~/tmp/plugtmp* folders when FFox is closed does not solve the problem.
Removing the ~/.macromedia and ~/.adobe folders does not solve the problem. (have checked permissions between the new test user and main user, and they are equivalent)
Downloading libflashplayer.so from the Adobe website and copying it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins has no effect on the problem.
I'm thinking that there might be somewhere else that flash stores configurations for my user, and that maybe the settings there are corrupted and would need to be purged. However frantic googling has turned up nothing useful so far.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

The problem, at least in my case, was QtCurve's opacity. If I have opacity set to less than 100%, flash would not display for sites like Youtube and Vimeo, but worked elsewhere.
The solution for me was to go into qtcurve's settings, and put npviewer.bin in the application exceptions section for window and menu opacity. Doing that, I was able to keep my transparent menus, and also use flash everywhere.
You can find out what the application name is by launching your browser of choice in a terminal with qtcurve debug turned on, like so:
QTCURVE_DEBUG=1 firefox
If you watch through the lines that start with "QtCurve" you'll see "Application name". Look for the one that shows up when you try to load a video. In my case it was npviewer.bin. In yours, it might be nspluginviewer or something else. If you add an exception for that specific application, you'll fix your problem without having to compromise on your theme.

Windows 8 - No Flash Player Works

Windows 8 doesn't allow Adobe Flash PLayer to work at all. Whats the deal?

I had the same problem. Flash would work in Chrome but both the Metro and desktop versions of Internet Explorer would not play any flash content. I wasn't even able to see the flash movie on the official Adobe page...
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
So I knew it had nothing to do with "Compatibility Mode" or some rogue websites that just didn't update their pages (vimeo video's wouldn't work either). I keep hearing the latest Flash version is buggy and since it's not as simple as uninstalling and reinstalling, I had to find another solution
So after trying all the steps here...
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html
I was still lost. Of particular interest was step telling me to update to the latest version of flash. When I tried, I was told that the Windows Update was already installed.
MY SOLUTION (Sorry if the steps aren't exact, I'm at work and did this last night)...
1) Hit "Windows key + r" and type "appwiz.cpl" This will bring up the Add/Remove Program window.
2) Click on "View Installed Updates"
3) When you try to install the latest version of Flash via the link above, the error message indicates that update is already installed, when this happens, take note of the update number (something like "KB#######")
4) Find this number on the list of installed updates, right click and choose "uninstall"
5) You will probably have to restart after this.
6) After restarting, attempt to reinstall flash via the link above
7) Again, you will have to restart.
8) After restarting, you should be good.
Hope it helps!!!

Flash player version 11.700

Ever since I have installed Flash Player 11.700, I cant hear the voice from video's, except for the first 10 seconds. Pause the video and start, again the voice is heard for 10 seconds and lost. Please advise a solution.

Custom Client-Side Video Codec for Standard Linux Flash Player

I'm new to Flash development, so please excuse my naivete. I'd like to have the standard Linux Adobe Flash player use an experimental client-side H.264 codec I am working on when playing FLV media (even if embedded within an SWF file) instead of the standard one bundled with the player. Is there any way to accomplish that?
Thanks,
Brian McGann
