Latest flash player update 11.2.202.229 causing player for forcefully buffer full video content.

Apr 10, 2012 3:28 PM

Hi,

Been using the flash player for years on various websites, and over the past few days hundreds of videos have stopped working - seemingly related to computers / browsers with the latest flash player update.

 

Video just won't play at all - instead of playing, it starts to buffer the whole video file, but mostly never manages to complete and play.

 

Am I alone here - or is this a wider issue?

 

Here is just one example video that will not play with the latest version - http://www.vintra.co.uk/Client-Script-Libraries/Thurleigh_Investment_M anagement_Q1_Preview_1.htm

 

 

Regards

Stewart

    Hi Stewart,

    I'm seeing the same issue with this video, though I haven't seen this occur before on other sites.  Updating to Flash Player 11.3 beta 1 fixes this problem.  Could you give this a try and let me know how it goes?

     

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks very much for the fast response. I have tried installing the 11.3 beta update onto a local PC, and this does seem to resolve the issue.

     

    And now the inevitable question...

    When is 11.3 likely to get rolled out?

     

    No doubt this is a tricky question for you to answer - but roughly, is this days/weeks/months away. I just could do with a vague idea, as we can cope with it for a day or two, but otherwise I'm going to need to come up with an alternative. My whole business is based around online video in one form or another - and everyone with the latest update can no longer use it - hence big problem for us.

     

    Many Thanks

    Stewart

    Hi Stewart,

    I definitely won't be days.  My guess is more like months.  Since this is critical for you, would you mind opening a new bug report on this issue at bugbase.adobe.com?

     

    Thanks,

    Chris
