Fixing Flash Video Not Playing Properly or Freezing After Few Seconds In Various Web-browsers

Submitted by Deepesh Agarwal on Wed, 09/24/2008 - 11:31

Today something weired happened and flash video streaming websites like YouTube, DailyMotion, Yahoo Videos, Vimeo etc. stopped working on my computer, I tried Firefox, Opera and Google Chorme but none worked freezing the video playback after 2 or 3 seconds, surprisingly Internet Explorer worked fine.

Flash Video Playback Freezing

I tried upgrading Flash player to the latest version but the problem persisted, I managed to fix the problem using the method described as follows:

Fixing the Video And Sound Playback Issue With Flash

  • Download Adobe Flash Player 10 Beta.
  • Close all browser's.
  • Launch Flash 10 installer and complete the installation.
  • Re-start browser.

This should fix the Flash video and sound streaming problems.

The video freezing problem is quite common and it seems to be some bug in Flash Player latest version itself, Upgrading to Flash Player 10 Beta not only worked for me but for above commentators also.

I have Flash Player 10 (doesnt say Beta) and I am having terrible problems watching videos on tv.adobe.com. Anyone else having this problem. It keeps stopping and starting and video out of synch with sound. Most annoying as there are great Adobe tutorials on this site but I just cannot watch them without having to abandon them after only a few mins. I have 2 PCs in my house, on one it actually crashes my router. How weird.

This post was made 5 years ago in 2008, the current version with numerous other bug-fixes is 11.6 so the page gets you there.
