Youtube video's have to fully load before it starts to play

When I go to YouTube, "any" video I click, the Video must fully load before it will start to play.
This also happens on other site, I am not able to view live streams at all (Or at least I havn't wait long enough)
I have uninstalled (Full) and Re-Install Firefox 8, I have removed Flash, and Re-Installed.
I tested it before any Extentions were installed.
Is there any settings on my PC that is doing this, I don't know what to do.

Hi,
In the OS Control Panel > '''Flash Player''' > '''Storage''', the ideal setting would be '''Allow sites to save information on this computer'''. If it is already that, then you may also want to check in '''Local Storage Settings by Site...''' and see if any of the problematic sites have the '''Block''' permission below.

Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
Some vitals:
- I'm using Flash Pro CS5
- To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
- Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.

Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait. Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file.
When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.
http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server.
It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved... browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.

Youtube videos taking long time to load.

For the last month or so any Youtube video I watch takes around a minute before it starts playing. I have cleared my cache and cookies numerous times. I actually formatted my computer and upgraded to windows 8.1 today and this problem still persists. I had adblock enabled but I tried to disable that and the problem remained. I have also tried both HTML5 and the Flash versions of Youtube and nothing worked.
Using any other browsers, Youtube videos being to play instantly.

Very Slow Video that Does Not Fully Load on Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have a macbook pro from 2007 (Mac OS X 10.4.11) and I have never had any issues with streaming video until yesterday. I have fast internet, and I can browse quickly, but my video is recently being very slow and won't fully load. It always says 14 out of 16 things loaded or some other number when I try to play a video. I have tried resetting Safari and emptying my cache to speed it up several times with no luck. I have Safari 4.1.2. I am wondering what I need to do to get this fixed as soon as possible because there are some important videos I need to watch for classes.
Thanks so much for your help!

"I have tried resetting Safari and emptying my cache to speed it up several times with no luck. I have Safari 4.1.2."
Do you have the same problem w/streaming videos using other browsers? Suggest that you re-post over in the Safari for Mac forums as your problem is not MBP related but rather software.

Videos need to be completly loaded before streaming

Alright, i got this problem since a few days. Doesnt matter where i want a video to be played, it needs a pretty long time to first load the complete video before actually playing it.
I already tried to uninstall the flash player and reinstall it, but that didnt work.
Some infos:
Using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8. I just installed java on my computer a bit ago before this problem started.
I hope you guys can help me out, i already searched the web but didnt find the slightest hint.

Alright first off i got flash player installed (tried that link) and it the newest version (10,0,42,34).
The add ons actually show the Shockwave Flash Object, though it doesnt list anything thats called ActiveX Control or Flash10d.ocx.
Shockwave Flash Object is enabled.
And no i dont use any other browsers right now.

HT1329 The computer which had my library on it was stolen, but I still have my fully loaded Ipod. Is there any way to download the library from my ipod? It contains much music which was loaded from cds as well as directly from itunes.

Any input on how to move a library from your ipod classic when the original computer was stolen? Especially when there is large quantities of music that is not downloaded, but uploaded from cd.

Youtube videos freeze after a certain point and can't be played

Every time I get on Youtube I can watch up to like 30 seconds of a video and then it freezes and I can't play. I've cleared my cache, I've checked for updates, I've restarted the computer etc. Its not my computer I know because when I use Chrome the videos work.

My browser takes minutes to open then when the tab is fully loaded it will start saying "Connecting" and slow down or freeze.

When I open my browser, it takes 3-5 minutes to fully open. When I get to a website, randomly the tab will say 'Connecting' and slow down and take 10-15 minutes to function or freeze completely. This almost always happens on sites that require Flash Player use. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Flash several times. I've added memory, as someone suggested it was a memory issue. It's so frustrating, please help!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Will not launch first time - almost always have to re-load to get started - why

Hello widescreen forever,
It sounds like you would like your iPhone to remember your saved usernames and passwords. You might be interested in enabling the iCloud Keychain, an iCloud feature that will allow you to save your usernames and passwords on your iPhone as well as share them between your devices that have it enabled:
What is iCloud Keychain?
iCloud Keychain keeps your Safari website usernames and passwords, credit card information, and Wi-Fi network information up to date across all of your approved devices that are using iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
iCloud Keychain can also keep the accounts you use in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Messages up to date across all of your Macs. If you're signed in to Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, or any other accounts in Internet Accounts on OS X Mavericks, iCloud can push those accounts to your Macs as well.
If you are using iCloud on your iPhone, use these steps to enable iCloud Keychain:
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later:
Go to Settings > iCloud and turn Keychain on.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup.
You can find these steps and more information about iCloud Keychain at the following link:

Leopard (10.5.x) not fully loading on initial start up

Since the release of Snow Leopard my copy of Leopard [not Snow Leopard] has been starting erratically. It will provide the upper menu bar and dock but both are blank/empty as well as the start up screen being its prescribed color for the start. Even after letting it sit it does nothing.
Does any one know anything about this?
I am not ready to move up to Snow Leopard due to the fact that certain software have to be upgraded.

So ... your suggesting that Apple is perfect ... (weird analogy)
My parents were apple growers (actual trees) for many years I know how delicate they can be even when they are taken off the tree. There is actually picking 'procedure" to insure less bruising. Apples do bruise sometimes.
As far as I can tell Apple is still superior to some other things I can think of.
I had thought about rebuilding the OS System, but wanted to make sure this was not anomalous to anything else that I was unaware of.
Hoping to pick the the new apple (Snow Leopard) off the tree by the end of the year as a Christmas present to myself.
Thanks for the guidance. Will work on this; this weekend.

After setting up and apple id, is there anything else I have to set up before getting started?

I am new to this iphone world lol

No. If you don't remember the passcode it must be restored as a new iPad, resulting in its complete erasure. There is no way to circumvent a forgotten passcode - that is its reason for existence.
Consider yourself fortunate that you have not invested a great deal of time configuring it.
Once you restore it, back it up using iTunes.

What do I do if Firefox crashes a few secs after trying to load any animated material, be it ads at the side of Cheezburger websites, YouTube videos, or Hulu?

I just bought a new HP Pavilion 23 inch All-In-One desktop, the one without a modem on the side because everything stands straight up. I'm usually technically literate and can figure most things out easily. This, however, dumbfounds me because I have to think and know exactly how something does what, and I cannot come up with an answer at all. Anyway I downloaded Flash a couple more times to try to fix this problem, but it hasn't gone away. What it does, is, whenever I want to watch [or don't want to watch, in some side-of-website-video-ads] the Firefox tab with the animation will be very sensitive, and the slightest click to any website, such as the next Cheezburger Website page, or just the fact that a video is loading on YouTube or on Hulu will cause Adobe Flash Player to crash within a few milliseconds. It does let you hear the first 5 seconds or so of the video before it stops [a few seconds after Adobe's unresponsiveness, I might add] due to Adobe not responding and therefore crashing. In most cases where the video does make it crash, the majority of the time either the video's picture won't load before it crashes, or, even if a picture does attempt to load, it's just a dark forest green color instead of the video's picture on YouTube. If I'm just looking at non-moving pictures and small GIFs, such as the funnies at Cheezburger websites or the funnies at Explosm.net, it doesn't crash on me. The majority of the videos I watch are Anime related. I don't want to have to use Google Chrome, since I trust Firefox to catch ads from popping up, which is very nice, but I might have to if this is not resolved.

Is anyone here to help?

Safari Cannot Load Complete YouTube Videos

Hello everyone,
A couple days back, I've been facing the problem with playing back any YouTube videos properly in Safari. All the videos just stop loading a few seconds before the end, and their playback is therefore interrupted prematurely. Now I'd like to note that I already tried to fix the issue using various methods:
uninstalling the current version of Flash player and installing the latest version provided by Adobe
clearing Safari's cache
disabling hardware acceleration in Flash
disabling HTML5 mode in YouTube
None of these actions had any effect; the problem persists relentlessly.
It's quite frustrating: I'm quite new to OS X, as I bought my iMac only a month ago. Through the whole time, however; I really can't say I would ever notice Safari getting YouTube right. The problems with YouTube video playback have been there all the time; the one described above is the only existing one currently, the others having disappeared with the previous version of YouTube's website.
Any help to be wholeheartedly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Quit Safari ...
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Relaunch Safari. Try YouTube.

Getting a movie to be playable before it fully loads

I'm building a site with quicktime movies. How can I get the movie to be playable while it's still loading? Right now you have to wait for the movie to fully load before you even see the controls.
thanks.
David

The "fast start" (progressive download) feature is both a property of the file and a special (autoplay="true") html tag of the Web page. It is an option found at export that many users overlook. It is also "turned off" by most of the default iMovie exports.
Using .Mac servers the Homepage feature defaults to autoplay="true" while iWeb software uses "false".
You would need to edit the html page code (after the file is published) when using iWeb to alter the tag code. New to iWeb 1.1 (and 1.1.1) is that they place the .mov file into a .js (javascript) file. It's hard to find for many users.
Maybe, if you explained where your page code is hosted, we could examine it and make some better explanations.

YouTube videos load so slow compared to other browsers

YouTube videos are completely downloading in memory from the start, slowing down the PC a great deal.
So if I try to watch a 20-min 1080p video, I have to wait ~20-30 secs to load completely in the memory. Only after that can I watch it without the PC freezing completely.
How can I get back to the original functionality, where the videos were downloaded incrementally as you watched them?
My setup is: Intel Core2Duo 2.2, 3.2 GB RAM 800MHz, ATI Radeon HD 5670 w/1GB memory, 100Mbit broadband (~8-10 MB/s with youtube servers)
However, Chrome for example loads flawlessly with almost no lag. But I love Firefox and don't want to switch to anything else...
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Nicolae

Hello,
Thanks jscher2000 and cor-el for the support.
I disabled all the plugins beside Shockwave Flash, still the YouTube videos freeze the PC until completely loaded, eating 100% of my CPU.
My only Add-ons now (when I re-enabled them) are:
* Shockwave Flash
* Adobe PDF
* Google Update
* JRE 7u7
* App Button Color
* Firebug
* Live HTTP Headers
However, I noticed a few more things:
* The Firefox PC-freezing occurs mostly on high-resolution videos (1080p)
* Chrome puts his video download/processing thread on a lower priority somehow, so the CPU is at 100% too, but the other programs (including the video stream itself) are not affected
* Putting Firefox and Chrome side-by-side with the same video stream, 1 real-life minute will allow Firefox to play ~1:02 min of YouTube video, while Chrome remains at ~0:58.
I also attached a screenshot of my PC streaming on both browsers, maybe that will help anyone.
Thanks again for all your support,
Nicolae
