[SOLVED] Can't watch videos on Myspace and Ning only

Ribica · 05-23-2009, 04:51 PM

Everything was working great until a few days ago, when I noticed that I'm not able to watch videos on Myspace and Ning anymore (and I could always watch them before). Instead of a video, I only get a big blank square that has a tiny little square in the upper left corner.
But videos on Facebook and Youtube still work perfectly! How could that be?!

I have Adobe Shockwave player11 and Flash player10 installed. I don't understand what is wrong...

Help!

Hi -

Could I get a screen grab of when you try and play a Myspace video, please?

Ribica · 05-24-2009, 03:56 PM

I hope you can figure it out...

I need a screen grab - HOW DO I TAKE A SCREEN GRAB?

Ribica · 05-25-2009, 12:49 PM

Well, isn't that what I did? It's just that I pasted it on a Word Document instead on Paint, becuase for a strange reason, I couldn't upload the .bmp image (it kept saying there was an error while uploading).
You are confusing me though, because when you open the .doc file I posted, you can see my screen grab pretty well...
I can try uploading it on Photobucket and then post the link...

Hi -

What exactly happens when you click on the "video" ?

Do you have the latest Java & Flash, installed?

Even I am facing the same problem. It occurs for me in ORKUT videos section. I have the Flash player Version 10 installed. It was working fine a month back.

Kindly let me know what the Issue could be?

When I click on the "video" nothing happens at all, it's just blank, like there's nothing there.
I have Flash Player 10 installed and Java(TM)6 update13.
And as I said, I can watch videos on other pages just fine, including Youtube and Facebook, so I should be able to watch them anywhere...

Yeah, well, I'm bummed. It was working fine until a week ago, I'm getting irritated. I asked some coleagues who take care of our computers at work, and everyone is telling me 'It should work'.

Keep checking it here, see what happens

Hi -

Are you banned, or being ignored the person who's video your trying to view? Re-install both Java and Adobe. Use the following to uninstall each with :

Java: http://www.revouninstaller.com/
Flash: http://www.revouninstaller.com/

Revo Uninstaller is your friend :)

I am not banned nor I'm being ignored. I can watch NO videos at all, nobody's videos, on any profile page on Myspace nor on Myspace Videos page. The same goes for Ning.

But - I will try to do what you advised, try to be friends with Mr. Revo Uninstaller

See what happens... I'll let you now.

Hi -

Fine, let me know how it goes.

Ok. I uninstalled Java and reinstalled it again. But I don't see Flash player on my computer, I don't know where it's installed, can't find it. So how do I uninstall Flash? I see only Adobe Air, is that it?

P.S. Io comprendo 'saluti' :) I live close to the italian border, so italian language is not unfamiliar to me :)

TJ Belfiore · 06-01-2009, 03:22 PM

So, you went here and downloaded and install the appropriate them?

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Ribica · 06-01-2009, 05:11 PM

Yes, and it says it's 'succesfully installed' but I can't find it on my computer so I can uninstall it. My friend Revo Uninstaller can't find it either :))

You know what else I noticed? The picture slide on Ning doesn't work, but on Myspace it does. And accidentally I found one video on Myspace that actually works. This is so weird...

Could it be that there's a virus that's giving me those little problems?

TJ Belfiore · 06-01-2009, 05:34 PM

Ah, that is weird. What WAS the only working video/.

Ribica · 06-01-2009, 06:13 PM

It's just a regular music video that is posted on the profile page of the singer I like, it's his music video. The video is embedded from Myspace Videos, the place where I cannot see any videos :)) Do you think it makes a difference if it's music video or a home made video?

And you didn't tell me how to uninstall Flash...

TJ Belfiore · 06-01-2009, 06:26 PM

I'm still thinking, if it doesn't get noticed by Revo or your Windows uninstaller, I don't think it's installed.

Are you installing the right Flash Player? On the site they give two; 1) Internet Explorer 2) Safari, Firefox, Opera.

Did you get the right one, this is VERY important.

Ribica · 06-02-2009, 05:55 PM

Yes, I am installing the right one (IE). And it says: 'Version 10,0,22,87 installed successfully'.
But it still doesn't appear on Revo nor Add/Remove Programs.

And I think that it is installed somehow and somewhere, because I see everything else on the internet that requires Flash.

A friend of mine keeps telling me it smells like a virus...
