| Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | Xian | 2/23/11 7:53 AM | Well, the title says it all ;) The screen (videoframe) is simply black and there's no controls. Other flash-based sites (also video) work fine. |
| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | rewboss | 2/23/11 8:01 AM | Try disabling hardware accelleration. Right-click on the black space where the video should be, and you should see an option to disable hardware accelleration. |
| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | askechagias | 2/23/11 10:02 AM | Same problem here, started after I installed Win 7 SP1. YouTube videos play just fine if they are embedded on other sites (such as Facebook), but not on the YouTube pages. Disabling HW acceleration doesn't help, it doesn't seem able to load the movie |
| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | rewboss | 2/23/11 10:18 AM | What versions of Firefox and Flash are you using? |

| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | rewboss | 2/23/11 1:03 PM | Well, I did escalate this, but I haven't been told anyone was working on it and I wouldn't have expected it to be fixed that quickly. Can you think of anything you did that might have fixed it? Maybe you rebooted your computer or something? Xian, ho |

| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | Thebum07 | 2/23/11 1:57 PM | Same issue here, in firefox. I can watch videos embedded on other sites, and I can watch videos in IE. But I can't watch them in firefox on the main site. I also can't disable hardware acceleration as there is no option for that when I right click th |
| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | Xian | 2/23/11 4:04 PM | @rewboss et al. I got it to work! I'm running Chrome (11.0.672.2 dev) so there's no option to disable hardware acceleration from the context (right-click) menu but I did a "Clear browsing data..." and it started working again. I had already rebooted |
| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | rewboss | 2/23/11 11:42 PM | Xian: Thanks for the info. That's very helpful. Thebum07 and markslut: Are you also using Windows 7 with SP1? |

| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | Thebum07 | 2/24/11 2:05 AM | As far as I'm aware I haven't updated to SP1. But it works today for some reason, so not sure what went wrong yesterday. |
| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | DAVALRAV | 2/24/11 2:30 AM | I might have found the answer! I been having black box screen without video controls on UT since updating to AFP ver10.2 running on WIN EXP ver9 on WIN 7 ULT.

| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | rewboss | 2/24/11 2:51 AM | Ye gods, when this thread started it seemed like such a simple problem -- one operating system configuration, one browser, one Flash version. To recap then: - It seems to affect people using Flash 10.2. - Everyone with this problem is using Window |
| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | DAVALRAV | 2/24/11 3:05 AM | I think its a conflict of WIN 7, WIN EXP9 and AFP ver10.2 even if you do the is it a 32bit or 64bit system, or browser question and workarounds, as this didn't work for me! Like I said my old computer running XP3, WIN EXP8 with the new AFP ver10.2 wa |

| Re: Can't play videos anymore... suspect install of Windows 7 SP1 to be the problem! | Khang Huynh | 3/5/11 11:40 PM | I'm glad I'm not the only one too. Cookies and caches everything cleared up, 1st video after the delete of private data played fine but then things turned black again. Win 7 after SP1, Opera 11.01, latest flash player. |
