[SOLVED] Flash movies will not play

[kiyyto]

Comedy Central will not play, youtube does not play either

The video loads and buffers fine, but it pauses after 3 seconds and will never play again no matter how many times I push the play/pause button. I can move the scrub bar forward and it will pick up the video fine, play for three seconds and then freeze again?

wtf?

- This is an audio issue. I use an external audio device and the standard Apple.HDA kext. If the audio device is not plugged in and turned on then no movies will play, must be some sort of Apple safeguard to alert you that your audio isn't working.

Turned the Saffire on and flash plays fine.

Wow, that was a trip.

I did try chrome, same issue.

Video loads and buffers but will not play more than 3 seconds, scrub forward and it plays another 3 seconds then pauses indefinitely.

Tried on a windows machine and all the websites work from my internet.


Very strange.

Bizarre. If chrome is misbehaving then that points to something else...

You got me, I've not seen anything like it.

I updated to 10.7.4, still persists.

Also, Youtube movies freeze too now.
After it stalls I cannot get the computer to recognize input of the mouse on the "play/pause" button of the embedded player.

Here is the link to this picture, the movie freezes at the exact same point every time.

The video on Sushi plays until the advertisement pops up, freezes at the same point every time!

This is really interesting, frustrating, but interesting.
The different videos are all freezing at different points, but individually they all freeze at the same point every time I reload the page.

Tested the first video (also about sushi) with both Safari and Chrome and it freezes at the exact same point in both browsers , 11sec.

WTF!!!!???
