Flash players/streaming not working

Hey Guys,


After a recent update, many video players have not been working. This goes for live streaming flash players and others such as on nba.tv.

Some other video players give me error code VE_FMS_CONNECT_FAILED...


Any ideas? I've updated all adobe flash players, and mac software...


Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

You can check for Internet Plugins which may be competing for video control and causing an error. The common locations would be ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins and /Library/Internet Plug-ins.


You can access those locations by being in Finder and selecting Go > Connect to Folder, and typing in the above folder file paths.


Try removing these one at a time, restart and test if issue is resolved.
