Why does video stop playing when open new tab in Safari?

HI,

From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache. Relaunch Safari and try again.

Also, make sure you don't have too many tabs open at one time.

syte runs ok

huh?

Did you mean system?

It's not system caches I'm referring to. Just your Safari cache. And if it's full, that could be why you can't stream video in another tab.

If the site requires the Flash Player plugin, try uninstalling the current copy, then reinstall new then repair permissions.

Uninstall Flash

Install the most recent version of Flash here.

Now repair permissions.



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.

Whatever codec that is, it is not a Flash File, more likely Windows media as it plays in Quicktime for me, but very 'stuttery'.

The audio part is certainly Windows Media, but Quicktime's movie inspector cannot identify the video codec.

I have both Perian and Flip4Mac installed. If they can't play it, nothing can.

Seems to be Windowski only!
