Website won't play SoundCloud widgets on Safari.
My website at www.nishmusic.com contains SoundCloud widgets to play the music that I write. (Example: http://www.nishmusic.com/published-works/the-magic-flute-in-5-minute-2.html) For some reason, I can play but not hear the widgets. I've reset Safari (ver. 6.1.4) but that hasn't worked. Other people can hear them, and I can hear them if I use Firefox.
HI,
Uninstall and reinstall the Flash Player plugin and see if that helps.
Go here to uninstall Flash.

When you are finished uninstalling the old Flash plugin, go here and install a fresh copy
of Flash Player plugin.

As with any software installations, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

QT video on our website won't play (two issues, clearly described)
Sorry for the long post... lots to cover and I want to be clear.
ISSUE 1:
I'm building a website for a client which will eventually include dozens of short instructional videos dealing with music theory. I built a temporary QuickTime test file in order to begin testing the site. The test video features a short musical chord in the audio track and a simple logomark which appears and then fades out. The finished QT files will feature videos of musicians performing, plus related instructional content. The QuickTime test file was built in iMovie; the finished QuickTime files will be built in Final Cut.
The test video specs are: 240 x 180 pixels, H.264, 128 KBPS (let me know if you need more specs). I did not choose the "hinted" (prepare for Internet streaming) option when I exported the test video from iMovie.
When I test the temporary QT file using Firefox, it works as expected. Same with Explorer. A new window opens and the QT file plays normally. In Safari on my PowerBook, it's fine, too. In Safari on my old G4 tower, however, a new window opens and only the audio portion of the QT file plays: The video portion does not. The QT 'playback bar' jumps up the page (where the video portion should be) and plays the audio only.
Here's a link to a test page. When you get there, click the "WATCH A TEST VIDEO" link.
http://www.muzoracle.com/muzweb/watchittemp/videoconstruction.html
Both test Macs are running QT 7.2 and Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). I can't imagine why results are different in Apple's official browser on two different Macs... and why everything works fine in Firefox and Explorer. I've reset Safari on the buggy one. I've ditched QT prefs and even downloaded a fresh copy of QT 7.2. I've tried everything I can think up. No luck. I have no idea what Windows PC users might expect.
I'd appreciate reading the results others on this forum observe. The last thing we want is for visitors to have a frustrating experience when the site goes public. We want it to be seamless and we want it to "just work" (as Apple's Mac ads are fond of saying). Since we've settled on using QuickTime exclusively on our site, we already anticipate that some PC users will need to go download the free QT player (and we've provided links to do so)... that's about as far as we're willing to push people who simply wish to view our video content.
ISSUE 2:
Our ISP offers streaming content as part of its web hosting package. They have Darwin and Helix DNA set up to play various formats, including QuickTime (.mov) files. Although their upper-level techs assure me that it's all working on their end, none of the content we've created streams from their server to our Macs. They're all on Windows PCs. I spoke with a general-level tech support representative on the phone for about an hour the other day. She's on a Windows PC and could not get it to work. She was great... she knew her stuff and tried everything in her arsenal... working with permissions, moving things around in various directories, we tried both "hinted" and "non-hinted" versions of the file... nothing worked on any browser we tested.
On the test page URL listed above, you'll see a link that says "WATCH A STREAMING VIDEO TEST." Please click it and tell me what happens. On all machines we've tried - Macs and PCs - in Firefox, Safari, and Explorer - we get the same results: A QT window opens and displays a message saying "Switching transports." This message is displayed for about a minute and is eventually replaced by various messages, including "Not Found," "404" (which I assume means the file cannot be found), a QT logo with a question mark in it, "-3258: Disconnected," and "415: Unspecified Media Type," among others.
Grr. I've lost about 22 hours trying to troubleshoot this issue during the last five days... hours of my life, gone forever, which I cannot in good faith bill to my client. I'm losing sleep and money.
Thanks again for any tips and advice.

Windows media player embedded(?) in website won't play
Hello! For some reason, the audio files on some forums won't play. For example, the audio file in first post here shows the controls for windows media player, but nothing works except for the volume slider:
http://masterrussian.net/mforum/viewtopic.php?t=8393
I looked over the list of installed plugins and everything seems to be in order. Can you help?Works just fine for me and I don't even have Windows Media Player for Mac on my computer or Flip4Mac WMV Player - but if you don't have that you might want to try it out. Flip4Mac WMV Player - with just playback functionality is completely free and is now being distributed by Microsoft to Mac users since it pulled the plug on future development of Windows Media Player.
You might want to make sure you have proper codecs installed.
Try AC3 Codec for Mac OS X (can Google it) for sound
for video you can use Divx 6 for Mac OS X - make sure you have QuickTime properly installed.
make sure before and after you make a major installation that you run Disk Utility to ensure your hard drive continues to work okay.
Flip4Mac WMV Player lets you playback Windows Media files using Apple's QuickTime plugin.
What browser are you using? and what version? Is it Safari? Firefox? Internet Explorer?, Opera etc?
Also make sure iTunes is running correctly on your Mac - by default it is used most often to handle mp3 files. Hope this helps! -

My macbook won't play internet videos in Safari or any browser. What am I doing wrong?
I've been trying for the last half day to get my macbook pro to play ANY online videos in Safari, Chrome, and FireFox. The videos tell me to download Adobe Flash Player...did it. Cleaned out my caches, restarted my browser(s), and even restarted my computer at one point. I turned off my extensions, made sure that my JavaScript was on, etc. Nothing has worked.
At first I thought it was because of the browsers, so I made sure that all of them are updated. YouTube works fine. And sometimes other sites work. It's a hit or miss--very inconsistent and frustrating. What can I do to fix this inconsistency? Is it really necessary to download and keep Adobe Flash Player?can you give example of website that you had trouble watching videos?
chrome has built in flash so it should play atleast youtube.com videos.
how many computers do you have in your network, are you the only on having issues? -

Hi,
I'm having problems with video boxes not loading on websites.
the websites i use a lot are ESPN.com and soccernet.com
The last 2-3 days the video playback box that they have are just not loading. it seems like my clicks are not being responded.
anyone having the same problem?
I had a problem on facebook.com and when I emptied my cache it solved the non-responsive inputs, but didn't seem to do the trick for other websites' problems.That was a quick jump from "some" to "most".
Because they use Flash, and Flash is not supported on iPads or any other "i" device. Never has been. Type "Flash" in the search box at the top of this screen for a few tens of thousands of discussions re Flash. -
My ipod 4th generation won't play any videos on any browser and YouTube

Why is the new Safari (7) not letting sound be heard from Soundcloud widgets (players) on my website when the earlier Safari worked fine, and other browsers also work fine?
Might be an incompatible extension or plugin ...
Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here. -

Safari won't play embedded slide show in my website, when it has previously
Safari won't play an embedded slideshow in my website.
It has been working for several months. It still works with firefox, but as i am a preferred mac and safari user, it bothers me for other safari users who may visit my site.
website is www.paulwarrendesign.net
click on BIO
Click on the Prey link on the lefthand side. It opens, and when you use the play slide manually, you can see that the pics are there. For some reason the slideshow will not play.
Any ideas?Hi Paul
as you may know - your website simply links to this page at theage.com.au
that page doesn't do much except load a Flash-based slideshow here
the slideshow is created by some software called "Soundslides" and there is a known bug ( now fixed it seems, but would require theage.com.au to put new versions of soundslider.swf on their system....or make some other changes to the way their servers deal with audio.
I guess you could innocently tell theage.com.au that their page fails on Safari ( also Opera and Realplayer for me ) & hope they fix it.... maybe even point 'em to the fix? .
ahem, err failing that, your only option 'd be to get your web guy to make the slideshow on your own website's server; although copyright over the images/sound might be an issue?. If you go that route, the basic soundslider software is pretty cheap ( US $40 ) from http://soundslides.com/ and instructions here
I should add that once you've got images/sound that you are entitled to use.... there are any number of free methods to make a similar slideshow. -
Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?
Hi,
I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
Many thanks,
Ian PickeringThis sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7. -
Brand new MB Air: Apple website videos won't play
Just brought home a brand new 13" MacBook Air. Went to the Apple website and couldn't play any videos. Nothing happens. YouTube videos play fine, and the Apple Trailers website plays fine. It's just apple.com that won't play videos.
There are no extensions in Safari (so DivX isn't the problem). QuickTime 10 is installed. It's fresh out of the box. Haven't changed a thing. Anyone have any idea what we need to do to get videos playing from the Apple website?
Thnks in advance ...UPDATE - we went to the nearest Apple Store today, and played with 6 different MacBook Airs, and found this problem on FOUR of them. They couldn't play the videos on the Apple website. This stumped the sales staff until one of them went into Safari's File menu, selected "Reset Safari", then re-booted ... and it worked!
Came home, did the same thing ... it worked.
So now my question is: why does "Reset Safari" clear this up?
