Won't load streaming videos.

Ok.. Youtube works, but other websites that stream videos on websites like Viddler and the like WILL NOT load at all. I just get the gear loading symbol and nothing happens. Sometimes if I leave the page the video will show right before I leave.
I've done things said in these 2 threads I found so far.

I saw that I had the 10.5.8 Version of Mac OS X so I'm updating to v. 10.6.4 as we speak.
But i've been trying everything the last 2 hours and nothing has worked at all.
Any suggestions?

HI,
Might be a good idea at this point to boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility especially since two browsers are involved and you've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 15% free space.*

Firefox continues to load streaming videos even after the tab is closed

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, and I've noticed that whenever I go to load a video (from Youtube, for example), and close the tab before the video finishes loading, Firefox would still be downloading that video.
I can tell because my normal ping to a local server is about 50-60ms. Then when I begin loading the video, it'll jump up to about 800+ms. I close the tab, but the ping continues at this rate. If I go to another video, begin loading that, and close it before it finishes in the same fashion, it will stack, and Firefox will be loading two videos at once (my ping will spike to 1600ms).
This is an extremely annoying issue since my internet connection is on the slow side.

SOLVED!
The hidden download was caused by a Firefox extension named GrabPro, included in "Orbit Downloader" boundle.
GrabPro caches all streamed media, providing a way for save it quickly.
You can disable this feature unchecking the "Enable Recorder" option in its configuration dialog.
This sofware was present on all my tested systems.
That was the cause of my confusion.

Load streaming video at specific cuepoint - AS 3.0

Hello I have a video with 6 embedded cuepoints
(Chapter1-Chapter6)
All I want to do is load the video at a specific, in this
chase the one named "Chapter4" cuepoint.
Here is the actionscript 3.0 code I have so far (where
"player" is the name of the flvplayback component), which obviously
isn't working...
player.source = "rtmp://www.whatever.com/Youth.flv";
player.seekToNavCuePoint("Chapter4");
I am getting this error... VideoError: 1003: Invalid seek
Any advice on how to do this would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance,
Lee

I had the same problem. Dan Carr was kind enough to send a
reply. Here it is:
quote:
Getting stuck on the loading screen is a symptom that may
happen for a number of reasons.
The loading screen sits above the gallery and obscures the
screen while the thumbnails and screen assets are loading. The
loading screen stays in place until all the video thumbnails have
loaded - so what you're seeing is an issue where 1 or more of your
videos isn't loading.
Most commonly this is because the server isn't recognizing
the FLV mime type or one or more videos didn't get uploaded to the
path listed in the XMLfile. (Actually, the first time I saw
something like this it was because there were spaces in the video
file names - local playback worked as expected, but my server was
URL-encoding the file names which replaced the spaces with
different characters and broke the expected paths...)
I'd recommend that you do the following... In the FLA file,
select the white rectangle graphic on the "Preloading" layer and
make it invisible by turning its alpha to 0. This will allow you to
see which videos are not loading on the server. If none of the
videos load, this would hint that either the server isn't seeing
the FLV mime type, the XML file isn't loading, or there is a global
problem with file naming. (If you see all the labels on the
filters, you know the XML file loaded.) If most of the videos are
loading, look for the specific problem videos and check to see that
the naming is correct and that the files were uploaded to the
correct location.
My own issue, as Dan suggested, was that FLV wasn't
registered on the server.
Hope this helps others.

Quicktime won't load certian videos

I have noticed that sometimes quicktime will not load videos from certian links. Mostly these are the exclusive movie clips or trailers on web sites like the new Harry Potter HD trailer on Yahoo Movies. The video box will come up on my computer but there will never be any movie or dialogue load. Has anyone else had this problem.

Update on previous post:
SOLUTION was a reinstall of both IE7 and QT 7.1.6, which cured problem.
HOWEVER I noticed the other day that the problem was back and the qtlHD[1].qtl box reappeared each time I clicked in Yahoo movies (seemed OK on QT site for some reason tho). Only thing I had done was to update DivX codec to 6.6.1. Thinking this was causing the problem, as soon as I unticked "Support decoding of Generic MPEG-4 video" box on Decoder tab of Configuration Utility (for DivX) then QT worked like a dream.
Hope this helps others.

HTML5 video player won't load YouTube videos (and probably nothing else either)

When I request that YouTube use the HTML5 video player for videos, no videos will load - I have to switch to Adobe Flash for anything to play. The page for a video will finish loading and I'll just sit there watching the loading spiral of death ceaselessly. I've tried a number of suggestions from other threads with similar issues and nothing's helped.
- Safe Mode does NOT fix the problem (so it's not an add-on or script issue)
- Clearing cookies/cache does not work
- Toggling the media.windows-media-foundation.enabled setting does nothing
- Disabling hardware acceleration also does nothing
I'm at my wit's end. Flash will hang and crash REALLY often so I don't want to use it, but it's the only thing that works for YouTube. Please help.

You have to download and install Adobe Flash. Flash is not pre-installed.

Flash player won't load all videos

Hi there.
Flash players load youtube and facebook videos fine but on pages like live leak or Vimeo it doesn't work.
It states that there's an error or the videos is unavailable.
I've uninstalled it and when I go to the Adobe flash site it says that Google Chrome has a built in flash player :/
I'm using Windows 7 with the newest updates and Google chrome 21.0.1180.79
What can I do?

Google Chrome has in-built Flash Player. You don't need to install it separately.
Do you have issues with Internet Explorer too?
Could you please try the solution provided in the following page? http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enable-system-flash-player-google-chrome.html
Thanks,

Firefox won't load & play videos, IE will, any sugestions as what the issue might be?

when I try to view a video the pc acts like it never connects to where ever the video is stored.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates 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

Pages won't load and videos won't play unless I jiggle the mouse, Why and how do I fix it?

I update to the latest version of firefox and now I am having this problem. It was ok before.

Youtube won't load any videos? everything else loads but the video is a blacks screen :(

I have a new macbook pro, i haven't had it for very long but just earlier this week it started messing up, not sure if it's my wifi (bigpond) but I really want it to work is anyone else having this problem?

Hi ..
Most YouTube content requires Flash ... and doubt it's a Wi-Fi issue.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Using Safari to view YouTube? With Safari open, press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, you may have the YouTube HTML5 beta enabled.
Opt out here > YouTube

HT1595 My AppleTV will not load and hold streaming video

My Apple TV will not load streaming video such as Netflix etc. All appears to be going well until we get to the 'PLAY' button. When 'PLAY' is hit it looks as if it is going to load the content. However, as soon as the content starts to play the msg: "An error has occurred loading this content - try again later" appears. No matter how many times you try to repeat - you may get 5 sec, 5 minutes but it will then come up with the error msg and force you to recycle to resume where the content crapped out. WHAT IS HAPPENING? Is it some setting? Is it download speed (we have 10mbps on the computer which is on the same wireless network as the Apple TV)?
Appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks
Rich

In streaming content you must go to Source in the ATV menu and choose the library you want to stream from. Are you doing this? You will not see the ATV on your computer, only vice versa (IOW, with iTunes open on that computer you should not see the ATV as a device -- if you do, disable "Look for Apple TV" in the menu as that may be preventing you from streaming from it).
If you choose the source as your other computer's library and after entering code cannot stream then see this:

Viedo won't load on Channel 9 Jump In site or Nine MSN

I'm having issues with this site and would appreciate any technical assistance that would allow me to watch video on this site.
Listed below are the relevant details.
The video won't load.
Video screen is grey.
Running Windows 7 with Norton Internet Security.
Have adjusted Firefox security settings and NIS settings as far as my knowledge extends, which is reasonable but not extensive.
Have added Jump In as a "trusted site"
I can watch normal web video and catch up video on all other TV channels & You Tube, just not Nine MSN including Jump In TV catch up.
Do not have Ad Block installed.
Running up to date Flash.

This site? http://www.jump-in.com.au/
You didn't mention the following things, which are what I would suggest next:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
