why won't flash video's work on my iBook anymore?

hey ronda,

thank you for the input. i'm already maxed out on RAM thanks. and its nothing to do with speed of the internet. its better if i explain it as; the flash players don't even respond to play button. i might just about get a flicker of graphics response but as for the chaching that just doesn't happen because it doesn't get that far.

so really i'm looking foe something else which is rendering the majority of flash players i try to watch non-funnctional.

e.g.

these work;

http://www.kumby.com/steinsgate-episode-13/

they consist of the JWPlayer, iFrame(maybe, i'm not entirely sure on this particular player) and MegaVideo player. of which most people try to avoid. the condition of extensions didn't make any difference really. i tested with extn. on/off same players worked.

this didn't work:

now strangely enough both AC and Kumby both use under most circumstances the same flash links. as there are actually only so many. everyone host the same ones, with a few variables. but inn this case they do not work.

now this might site specific. i would usually just go from one to the other to find out which is actually working. but as doing so, i have found that sometime neither site is working. might seem a little odd but its generally all i use a flash play back for.

hey Ronda,

very interesting i may try get back in touch with the guy's on th esite and see if they know whats going on. would be nice to watch without hassle.

cheers for checking everything out.

my apologies for my poor typing.

i'll see if anything pop's up and hopefully either they'll have some answers or somebody may have come across the problem themselves.

hey,

the flash things are really getting to me now. i was the animecrazy.com site and decide while a video cache'd to find another place to watch anime. and foudn this place;

http://www.animefuel.com/one-piece-episode-506/

problem is that its all blank there also. so what exactly is going on? has there been a massive change in the internet or something that is effecting my computer's ability to read flash? are other computer also effected?

again if anyone has any answers i would really really like to know them.

cheers

hello ronda,

there are certain FP's that are and aren't reliable. i think for me the confusion is that there's use to be lots more that i could rely on and that is'nt the case. so i suspect something somewhere has changed. as i'm non intel my flash play is limited to 10.1.102.64. i'm gonna set up a list with links to those that do, have never and did but longer do.

have never;

Watch with English Subs (Speedy Joe) Parts: 1

Watch with English Subs (youku) Parts: 1

Player 4

(i can't really tell which player this is cause it don't even load to intro)

Player 5

(agin can't tell which player this is, it also the second as the first one is megavideo)

did but no longer do;

http://www.animecrazy.net/naruto-shippuuden-episode-219/#Watch with English Subs (JWPlayer) Parts: 1

Watch with English Subs (Rutube)

Watch with English Subs (Flv)

do;

Watch with English Subs (MegaVideo)

Player 2

(JWPlayer, different site)

Player 3

ok the thing is that the links that are used aren't consistant on the one i would prefer to use. so one week you may find all the thing i want to watch have watchable links via non MV. other weeks you may find one. and again, i might find none at all. mainly it come usually comes down to MV with the occasional possibility of some other player.

i find it interesting that you can refresh to make the links work. i think i used to able to that on some of them but that no longer works. there very likely more link i may scout of them so i have a comprehensive list to reflect on. but i think its pretty much reflects the majority currently.

hey ronda,

it would seem that yours has a link directly to the kumby site. where as mine isn't. i'm having a really hard time figuring out what exactly is the problem.

across the board the FP that dont' work for me either, look like there they are loading or look like they are playable until i try to press play and then have no reaction (barring the roll over from pointer to hand) or in the most case they have no change. there just blank.

the only tangent i can think of is that there maybe something embedded in the site code or FP's thats maybe something to do with ad's and such. then i can't really think of why it effect peole differently.

i may have to check the code inthe site against there players and see if there's any distinct different. as the link are external i can't really think why suggest would have any truth to in the code to the PS's. more brains maybe needed.

hey klaus,

i have already taken these things into consideration. as mentioned above. i'm already on the last update as you should be also.

i do take into consideration that the latency could be the cause of all my trouble.

but if your gonna be helpful you're gonna have to lend more of a hand. i ronda having more than one machine could probably do a test on each to find out if the machines operate the same and although your machine is a more powerful model your rely on simullar application for operation. so you colds probably deliver some info that could garantee what the answer to this issue is.

rinda: i'm sure you have already tested on each machine to find out the difference in performance for each. if not, would you mind doing so? i would be greatly appreciate the effort.

klaus: if you cold do the same that would be awesome also. then i have a very comprehensive approach and he results should clear up what ever's is happening. as you can see there's links above that you can use in order to find out which will and won't work for what reason's. just make sure you come back here and let me know the results.

gez, i remember a world when error messages used to tell you or at least hint at what was going on. so then you could fix it or not. given you had a basis to work with.

cheers for all the help

tss

klaus,

your not being very helpful i'm afraid. i know were all just user's. if you can't bring anything to the plate then don't bother it wold only prove to irritate you. i don't think that's the reason i came here. as i explained last rely. thank you for you input until now. it has been considered.
