(Support Request) unable to view posted video's.

I too suspect a Flash conflict. In my case Java was not the issue.

I will do more eading on it, if I find anything conclusive, will pass it along to you guys.

Thank you (both) again.

 

So you guys know... it happened tonight while using Win7 IE9. I checked with XP IE8, was fine, XP FF was fine.

Returned to Win 7 machine maybe 10 imnutes later, and it was viewable again.


Apparently it causes dyslexia too! hahahaha

 

I am not one to go to fancy upgraded versions of other search engines. I don't use firefox, I have Windows XP and use google as my browser. I don't seem to have any problems with internet explorer and windows is set to update itself.

Sometimes people talk so technical here it's above my head...lol. My laptop runs fast enough for me, enough memory for someone who doesn't download much (except what's necessary). I use AVG as my virus program and I won't upgrade to Windows 7 or 8, I forget..lol.

Maybe that's why I usually don't have problems with most websites that I visit. I use a wifi from Verizon that is 4G and it seems to work well now.

I am the least tecky person I know.

 

Hi Jiyuu! *smile*

Unfortunately, support for XP will be gone in 2014. If I may make a suggestion to you, when the time comes to upgrade (for whatever the reason), purchase a Win7 machine, you will be pleased. It is a good system, with zero learning curve from XP.

Win8 seems to me, designed for tablets and phones, not computers. I don't care for it.

 

lolol

I agree. I believe it will prove to be the new vista for Microsoft!

 

Yep, my kids tell me W8 sucks. They are pros at this stuff.

I use firefox and window XP and have no problems uploading youtubes.

Using old version Firefox with windowsXP.

 

Thanks for your opinion and I will be sad when XP goes. As soon as this one goes I may go with the Win7. I had it on my desktop and it seemed okay to me.

I am getting hooked on my ipad. It's just a substitute to have some fun. I mostly buy some good reading!

 

You betcha boss....lol! If it works, why break it, right?

 

Update:

Although the incident mentioned on page 5/#44, happened only once, and for a brief time. Something I neglected to mention at the time, is, on occasion when viewing a music video, it would momentarily stall, then resume play.

I attempted to find information on the issue, which proved difficult. I did find numerous complaints, but no credible solution.

To the point.....

A week or so ago, I updated Flash to the latest available version (at the time, at least), and since doing so, there has been zero stalls playing/viewing music videos. Zero.

If anyone is still experiencing the issue, I recommend updating. Although still early, I can say, I have played hours of music/video without interruption of any kind.

Haha, ya well I just purchased "Fix cleaner" to speed up this laptop. By golly, it works and so does Avast for my anti virus.

I keep getting the message from Windows to upgrade to 8 and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of that menace.

 

Sometimes they are there sometimes just a black box. Windows 8 and Firefox. Just noticed as I was replying to a post with the black box that the clip DID appear to me in the text box to respond in. Went back and where there was a blackbox hit F5 to refresh the screen and there it was, the clip and viewable.

 

Hope this helps someone, I was unable to view this video when I first saw it. It was just a totally black screen. I went to firefox and I had version 11.05 flash player I went to adobe site installed the new version 11.06 came back into PF and I was able to play the same test video no problem at all.

 

Flash 11.6.602.168 here.

 

I use Firefox and never have any problems.

Just checked my settings and that box is already checked and I'm having problems loading some video links from youtube. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I've yet to find a pattern.

Frikkin i-frames.

Ok... so when following the OPs suggestion, upon save, the php converts from
video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-7U2vNvycY[/video
to
video=youtube;b-7U2vNvycY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-7U2vNvycY[/video

In fact if you reply with quote, you can see that both boxes above display the same, even though the second one I have saved several times now without the video identifier in there... yet it appears on save... some function of the php.

Both embed an iframe. iframes came from IE... and other browsers sometimes display iframes oddly... however, if what the OP says is correct, I am somewhat mystified by it, as it does not appear any different once submitted. I will look further.

 

Ok... it looks like the i-frame API has changed, and this is the source of the problem... I will work out a solution and submit it shortly.

Hopefully I will not have to do detection.
