White/Black Screen Problems With Flash Player

I have had a problem with flash player since updating it in November. Certain websites such as YouTube and Worldstarhiphop work perfectly while other websites such as Facebook produce black or white screens when trying to play videos. If you attempt to play a video on a website in which you get the black or white screen, you can still hear the audio. While that is annoying it is only a minor inconvenience, the biggest problem is with other websites that require flash. I currently want to run an internet speed test on my computer but I can not find a website that my flash player will work with. The weird thing is that the animation at (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html) plays correctly.
To fix the problem, I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall flash player. I have also tried changing the settings, enabling/disabling hardware acceleration. I feel like I've tried just about everything and I'm running out of ideas. I currently am using flash version 12.0.0.44 through Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.16518. My computer is running on Windows 7. Does anyone have any idea's on how to fix this problem?

I am having the same problems and have tried all the posted solutions with no positive result, so far.
Similar to above… on all of the web pages on which I am unable to see the flash videos, if I click in the flash window to start the video, all I get is audio playback with a black or white screen.
However… If I move the mouse around inside the flash window, I can see that the mouse pointer still reacts wherever the video control buttons are located at the bottom (although I can’t see the buttons, themselves). And if I click the “full screen” button …. usually in the lower right… my view goes to full screen and the video appears!
I don’t know about everyone else, but my problem appears to be limited to:
Specific websites (facebook, most news websites)… I have no problem with Youtube or the Adobe Test Page.
Viewing video in the embedded flash window on the web page... Opening the video to full screen allows me to see it.
I’ve tried this on several of my problem websites with consistent “success” at viewing videos. It's an annoying solution, but at least I can see the videos.

I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.
I have this problem with Flash Player 10. No 9 works good, but some websites wants no. 10

Generaly FP works, but problem is that i must press few times full screen button. Now i have turn off hardware accelleration, but movies are quite bad.
I have already installed newest graphic drivers but it didn't help.
Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<

Problems with flash Player

So I'm having a problem with flash player, and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing, or might be able to help.
- Upgraded 2 computers to snow leopard, macbook pro laptop, and mac Pro tower (intel proc).
- Laptop has no problems, everything renders fine, and without any difficulty.
- Mac Pro doesn't display any dynamic data, text fields show up blank, some flash player controls don't work, brightcove player won't load completely... things are just not working right.
- Main browser is Safari, but same problem exists in Camino, Firefox, etc...
- I've had Safari Stand installed, but have since removed it.
- I've removed GROWL notifications completely
- I've got debug and developer menus turned on (but have that with the laptop also.)
Please see the screenshot attached. This graph should have text data on it showing the x/y axis, the key, as well as data when you mouse over each block, but doesn't show anything.
The second screen shot shows a brightcove player from our website... There should have full controls at the bottom, and nothing shows up. If I right-click, and go to 'view full screen', I can't then get out of full screen by clicking escape key on the keyboard, I have to use any player controls, or right-click again, and hit 'exit full screen'.
Anyone have any suggestions? It's something to do with my computer, rather than snow leopard, because flash works fine on my laptop, but not on the desktop. Any help is really appreciated !

Hi!
I reached your post because I was having the exact same issues as you and I found a fix that worked for me! The problem is a font issue: I logged in with the guest account that had no users font installed and flash was working fine, so I logged back into my account and moved all the fonts in my 'User>Library>Fonts' folder in a folder in the desktop. Then I closed and reopened Safari and Flash was working!
In the end the problem was with a version of Arial that I had in my users' font folder: I deleted just that, put my users' font back in the folder and the problem disappeared.
I hope it hepls!
best

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Big problem with Flash Player - please read.

So i just got a new computer, and everything's fine. I get Avast, Spyware Terminator, and start going back to my usual.
I then go play a game, and it says I need a plugin, of course, Flash Player.
I click the button and go to install it: In the end, Spyware terminator blocks the downloading process with a warning message: A trojan was discovered in the download process. So everyone, if you have any problems with flash player, lowering your defenses and so on has a high chance of increasing the problem. Avoid downloading it (for now) and try to find an earlier version.
Thank you for reading this,

Only download installers from the original developers website, in this case adobe.com or macromedia.com

Running into Problems with Flash Player with some sites and not others

Hi All,
I've run into problems with Flash Player 10,0,45,2. In IE 8, FF 3.6.3 and Google Chrome (which I downloaded as a last ditch measure), some websites (such as youtube) work fine. Other sites such as wimp.com I get an empty box. I've reinstalled flash, but haven't seen much else in these forums to try to figure out what the problem is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bump.

Hello,
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Webcast problems with Flash Player 11.7.700.169 and IE9

I recently started to have problems viewing slides during webcasts from TalkPoint/Lightwave. I have Windows 7 64-bit and IE9 (both 32-bit and 64-bit). When the webcas starts, the audio is fine, but the slides are not shown. If I remove Flash Player, I can see the slides. With Flash Player installed, I can view the webcast fine in Chrome and Firefox, but not IE9. Looks like another incompatiblity between Flash Player and IE9. Does anyone have a solution/workaround or should I try to download an earlier version of Flash Player. Perhpas IE10 is a fix.

I'm having the same issue; non-HTML5 videos won't play. Specifically they start for a couple seconds and then freeze. I'm running Windows XP and Firefox.. I tried de-selecting hardware acceleration, increased the local storage, and I don't know what else to do. XP, Firefox, and Flash are all the latest versions.
This has only been for the last 2-3 weeks, and the only things that have changed are updated Flash, updated Firefox, and supervisor installed Norton while I was on vacation.
Please, any suggestions?
ETA: And just like that, it's working! I think that I probably should have restarted the computer after changing my settings yesterday. Or not; still confused but relieved.

Massive problems with Flash player

I think it started about last week, after an update: every time I watch a video (whether it be on YouTube or elsewhere) that is longer than 5 minutes (and often shorter), the video starts stuttering after a few minutes. First the framerate slows down to about 1 frame every 3-4 seconds before grinding to a complete halt, almost freezing all of my computer in the process until I close the tab, although sometimes a full reboot is needed. The audio largely remains unaffected.
When I upgraded the Flash player, the problems persisted. Turning off hardware acceleration seems to have helped but I am not sure--I have had some audio problems since disabling this. It's odd and really very frustrating as I have a very decent video card. What is going on here? How can this be fixed? What do I miss out on by disabling hardware acceleration?
I am currently using Firefox 5 with Flash player 10,3,181,34 on Windows Vista 32bit.

Hi, if you have Flash Player installed correctly and it's working but having issues with video playback, take a look at what some of the reasons can be.

Did you have video problems with Flash Player 10.2?

Hello Flash Player community,
We're getting ready to release Flash Player 10.3 and we'd like to ask for your help and input. If you encountered video related problems with the current version of Flash Player on sites like YouTube, we're especially interested to learn if the change's we've made to 10.3 help you. We've tested this internally, and while we've seen a definite improvement, we really want to expand the scope of hardware and have those previously impacted try again.
Here's all you need to do:
1. Install the latest video drivers for your system (see step 3 on this page for video driver links and instructions.) This is important, as older drivers contain limitations and bugs that can impact hardware acceleration in Flash Player. Flash Player works with all video cards, but it's possible hardware acceleration might not be fully supported on older hardware.
2. Download and install the browser appropriate Flash Player 10.3 from labs.adobe.com. If you encounter problems installing, please let us know. When upgrade issues occur, it's recommended you run the Flash Player uninstaller (Win, Mac), then try installing again.
3. Verify that the Flash setting "Enable hardware acceleration" is checked.
For instructions on finding this setting, please see step 1 of our Troubleshoot video playback issues article. Ignore the instructions to uncheck this setting, we want hardware acceleration to be enabled (make sure “Enable hardware acceleration” is selected/checked.”) If video still fails, please disable hardware acceleration and try again.
4. Navigate to the following two video samples and verify that both video and audio play correctly:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/tgbNymZ7vqY?wmode=direct
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/live-player/
Note: The second link is a large 1080p HD video, so don't worry about any buffering/bandwidth issues with this video: what we're looking for here are display issues (black screen, corrupted video, etc.)
That's it! We'd love to hear your success stories, especially if you were one of the ones that ran into problems when 10.2 was initially released! However, we're equally interested in hearing if things don't work correctly. Please let us know on this thread or send email to [email protected]. Please include a brief description of the problem and your hardware diagnostic file.
Thanks,
Chris

Black screen after using flash player 3 or 4 times

Hi!
I've had this problem for a long time: After having played three or four videos using flash player for example, my screen turns completely black and I have to force a shut down of my PC. With how much flash is still used in browsers, this is extremely annoying and a waste of my time.
If anyone could help me, I'd be glad!
Flash Player version: WIN 15,0,0,239
Debug Player: No
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Browser Version: 5.0 (Windows)
Browser Name: Netscape
I updated my flash player and my graphic driver and the problem still occurs. I also turned of the hardware acceleration as stated in the following article: Video playback issues but it remains the same.
I registered this as a bug: Bug#3863932 - Video playback issues but I am uncertain whether this will actually be solved sooner there or here on the forums... So I've decided to try both.
Please help!
EDIT: I also have a dxdiag-file avaible, but I am unsure how to share it. You can access it through my bug report that I have linked to earlier.

Yeah, that was always the problem: Hardly anyone CAN reproduce it. I've checked my hardware and drivers though and I've re-installed windows completely just because of this bug, thinking it might be some virus or sth, but nothing like that helped.
And so far, I couldn't find any steps to reproduce, or anyone who also has this problem.
I had my brother, who has a masters degree in computer sciences, try it out and he didn't know any solution or any reason either. :I You can just tell me if this is hopeless, I won't be mad, but really, a video would just show you exactly what I told you.
There's nothing else to it. No mysterious thing I'm doing wrong. I wish it was something like that, honest
Also, it doesn't happen with specific youtube videos. I tried mixing up the order of the videos and it happened again, after starting the 3rd or 4th video (also happens when facebook had this automatically-starting-videos-thing, which was especially fun, as you can imagine, so it's not website-specific either, sadly)..
