Flash Video Problems

[Trekker4747]

On many sites on line I have trouble playing videos, seems to depend on where it's at YouTube and Blip sourced videos are okay, but some aren't.

The video plays fine but the audio sounds very choppy and stutters, any ideas on what this could be all? Browser and Flash Player settings are up to date.

It could be an overflow. I'm not near a PC (using tablet), so I can't follow my own steps for accuracy, but open the task manager (right clicking taskbar or ctrl/alt/delete'ing (assuming you're using Windows)) and if the flash player is hogging memory, simply close it and refresh the page.

I think the latest version of Flash is bugged as hell. I had no problems either until Flash was updated a few weeks ago, and suddenly I get "Not Responding" messages from Firefox anytime I access anything with flash on the page.

I ran into a "You need flash to play this video" error somewhat lately. Which is strange, since I already have it.

That might be malware disguised as a genuine flash message. Sometimes it's hard to tell. The best way to check is to go here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

If your software is out of date, it will let you know.
