Windows Forum / Windows XP / Video / December 2007Online Videos and audio files suddenly stop playning
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just downloaded Adobe's new flash player because I couldn't watch videos and audio files on the web. Now while watching videos or audio files on the web they run perfectly for 3 min. or so and then suddenly stop with no error messages. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Computer Specifications [edit] HP pavillion OS:windows xp service pack 2 model #a640n -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Computer Specifications [edit] > HP pavillion OS:windows xp service pack 2 model #a640n You don't supply an example, but a good guess is it buffering, This is when the clip is loading to your PC's temp folder, Allow it to stutter through to completion and then replay the clip and it will playback fine the second time. There are many contibutory factors, - time of day, is it a clip that is popular and you are viewing when everyone else is - home from school/work etc I dont think the problem is buffering because the video plays the same length of time and always gets to a certain place. Then it stops for good and gives me the play icon and when I click on that the video starts over- this happens with any video or audio file I try to play. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > >I dont think the problem is buffering because the video plays the same >length [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > happens > with any video or audio file I try to play. Post a link to an example Heres a link to an example: http://www.gardengatenotes.com/2007/12/04/ I might say that while watching a video on a microsoft site about access 2007(http://office.microsoft.com/training/Training.aspx?AssetID=RP101933421033&CTT=6& Origin=RC101933201033) the same thing happens. > >I dont think the problem is buffering because the video plays the same > >length [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Post a link to an example > Heres a link to an example: http://www.gardengatenotes.com/2007/12/04/ > I might say that while watching a video on a microsoft site about > access > 2007(http://office.microsoft.com/training/Training.aspx?AssetID=RP101933421033&CTT=6& Origin=RC101933201033) > the same thing happens. ======================================= Runs fine for me on Comcast Cable. Just wondering...do you have Cable, DSL, Dial-up? On the MS site...you have to click Next to access the next screen.

I clicked on the above link to that nice site, Playback commenced and proceeded as expected, the buffer progress bar indicated in percentage as it loaded and the clip played just fine and it ran for 1min 56 seconds. That is the maximum length of the clip. In your original post you mention a clip running for 3 minutes and then stopping. Are you sure that what you perceive as the clip(s) not playing through is actually the end of the clip? > I might say that while watching a video on a microsoft site about access > 2007(http://office.microsoft.com/training/Training.aspx?AssetID=RP101933421033&CTT=6& Origin=RC101933201033) > the same thing happens. On this second link you provided, it is not Adobe Flash it is a slide show, admittedly it has a confusing toolbar inasmuch as it indicates a pause button and if you click on it, then changes to a Play indicator, but they are non- functional, you use the "Next" button to progress thru the tutorial. This is normal and nothing is wrong. >> Heres a link to an example: http://www.gardengatenotes.com/2007/12/04/ > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > the tutorial. > This is normal and nothing is wrong. But, just in case you have a corrupt Adobe flash player installed: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19166&sliceId=2 This link is to Adobe's troubleshooter. You maybe best at following the guide to fully uninstall Adobe flash player and then reinstall the latest version direct from Adobe's download link. I finally was able to play the video on the microsoft site but am still have trouble with every other video or audio I try to play. I'll try the troubleshooting steps from Sister Mary. Im going to be away from my computer for the weekend though so i wont be able to do it on the weekend. Have a wonderful Holiday!!! > >> Heres a link to an example: http://www.gardengatenotes.com/2007/12/04/ > > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > Adobe flash player and then reinstall the latest version > direct from Adobe's download link. >I finally was able to play the video on the microsoft site but am still >have [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > for the weekend though so i wont be able to do it on the weekend. Have a > wonderful Holiday!!! You started another thread in which you revealed you are on dial-up, that may well explain the problems. Streaming video via a dial-up connection is unlilkly to succeed, you are probably getting time-outs. |
