Hi all,

I was used to watch megavideo on firefox without any problem.
But now when I tried to watch megavideo it says ..installl adobe latest flash player.
the problem is as below.
1)First I have installed new flash player
2)after installation, adobe confirmation window opens,
if I changed address i can watch megavideo.
3)once i closed the window, and open new window, again they asked to install new flash player
4) if restart also, same message display for megavideo.
5) i have installed around 20 times flash player and restarted my laptop, but no use.
6) i have also upgraded my firefox from 3.6 to 9.0.1, but no use.

I am using window vista for my sony vaio laptop (2gb).

pl. suggest.

thanks

Visit the link above and Mozilla (Firefox) will verify that you are currently running the latest version for all of your plugins. Make sure everything is up to date and post back.

If the problem persists you need to uninstall flash and then reinstall it.

Visit:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
For complete instructions to uninstall.

Ensure that you restart your system and then visit:

http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/

Which is adobe's test site where you will be prompted to install the latest version of flash. After the install, the test page should load displayed the revolving flash icon. Restart your machine and load Firefox again to see if it works.

Good luck, I will continue to monitor this thread.

thanks oogles36 for the reply...
i have checked the link but surprised to see that adobe flash player 11 is not available in the list....while it is available in control panel...add/remove section.....

Of course if the uninstall / reinstall doesn't work for you I have a few more tricks and you may have to manually delete older versions of flash as well as stop Firefox from trying to load them. I will advise on how to do so if the need arises.

i have tryied to uninstalled and reinstalled...but problem not solved

what about other movie websites? what video players do you have install? see if you have a firefox plugin for the specific player you use installed.

 

[oogles36]

Sorry about the delay I'm at work now. I can walk you through uninstalling all previous versions of flash as well as other plugins that conflict with flash. Could you send me a link with the video you are trying to watch. I will send instructions shortly.

1)youtube is working...
2)daily motion, metacafe player not visible at all.......
3)megavideo asked to install new flash player....

 

[oogles36]

To ensure that I know the problem,

You updated Firefox to the most up to date version.

You uninstalled flash and reinstalled it as I specified.

When you go to Mega video to watch a video, the video does not load and you are prompted to reinstall adobe flash. On the browser where the video should be, does it say missing plugin or does a new window pop up.

Are you able to watch the video in internet explorer? You may have to activate the activex. A bar on the top of the browser should indicate if this is required or not.

i have done as per your suggestion.
firefox i have latest one...
already uninstalled and installed flash player latest one, but no use
IE and chrome having similar problem

for example,..if i am trying to open
1) MEGAVIDEO - I'm watching it
2) Psycho Santa (2003) video - Watch Videos Online Free

megavideo opens... but in the player video not load and message displays as " you need a newer flash player version to use this player.............."

one thing i like to mention.... when i tried to open daily motion and metacafe ...the player not load and no message displays
Youtube is working fine

try installing vlc player. I think it is more of a player issue than flash. vlc has all the codecs already installed.

VideoLAN - VLC: Official site - Free multimedia solutions for all OS!

 

[oogles36]

Any luck with vlc?

 

[rocky_no1]

I have already VLC player installed may be older one............
How to watch megavideo and other (daily motion etc) in vlc..via web browser????????????

you dont have to do a thing if it both vlc and the plugin is installed. That is why in my first post in this thread I specifically asked you what media player you had installed and if you had the media players plugin installed. check your firefox plugins and see what is installed. you should have a flash, vlc, quicktime and others installed (depending whats actually installed on your computer)

 

[rocky_no1]

i have following FF plugin:--
1) vlc multimedia plugin
2)shockwave for director
3)shockwave flash
4)real player version plugin
5)quicktime plugin
6)divx web player

now how to watch.... what is the procedure???????

the problem is not what I thought it was. you seemed to have the proper plugins and as I said before, you would not have to do anything if it was working properly.

try disabling your security software and see if one of them is blocking your access. also is your java up to date? if not, update it.
