Ok, I'm working on making a webpage that is accessed through localhost on Ubuntu Firefox. I have one page (lps.html) that uses:
<embed width:"420" height="345"
src="http//www.youtube.com/watch?v-vbf1-euocAo">
</embed>
The problem is that when I load the page in Firefox as: localhost/lps.html the video player comes up saying:
"A plugin is needed to display this content"
I check Youtube itself and I can watch videos no problem, just not on my page.
I've been working at this problem for 6 hours and have become frustrated and decided to just ask the people here. Can someone please help me? I'm a beginner in Ubuntu and figure it's something stupid like assigning a directory for the page or adding something to localhost. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Are you sure you have Flash. Youtube can display videos in HTML5 format. Type about:plugins in your address bar and see if Shockwave Flash is listed.

So basically I recently made a video for a assignment and I copied the embedded code from You tube and pasted it in Brackets.io and after I clicked save and then pressed live preview it didn't work and when I went to the website that shows you the many reasons why live preview won't work one of those reasons was
"Bug #7935: Live CSS does not update if page contains an iframe (including injected iframes such as ads or social media buttons)."
So how do I fix this?
If Anyone knows please reply back to me!
I suppose you use for embedding a video a kind of code like this:
<iframe width="420" height="315"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tgbNymZ7vqY">
</iframe>
I usually use this for holding videos in my webs, so if this still gives you problems, you should use another editor, maybe Visual Studio Code and install an extension call Live Server by Ritwick Dey, which does the same as Bracket's Live Preview.
I am on a site that I need the video file. Problem is, it is powered by flash.

The many ways to do this will not work because of this. The player is one file, and it uses something else to do this I believe. Please tell me how to get the video.
And I would love to know why this was disliked for NO apparent reason. Didn't even leave a comment.
After much research, I found a solution.
There is a chrome extension called Flash Video Downloader, which will download already viewed media or download media that is being watched.
This will work on many sites. I tested this on HBO if you are wondering.
When something is shared from youtube to facebook, facebook is now showing the youtube html5 player.
If you look up one of their urls (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuS5ZyQhvsk) in the open graph debugger you can see that they are now providing open graph meta data for their html player as well as the flash one.
I also have a player that sits in an iframe, and am now including the same tags that youtube is, minus the flash ones as we don't have a flash player, but it isn't working and facebook is giving me this error which doesn't make sense:
Share has playable media but will not play inline because it would cause a mixed content warning if embedded. Add a secure_src or make the video src secure to fix this.
This is the information facebook is reading:
This is the url as an example that is generating that error: https://www.la1tv.co.uk/player/124/260
All I can think is that Facebook has made some kind of deal with youtube and this isn't available for everyone yet, but that isn't clear from that error.
All of the content on our site is served over https.
Anyone know what's going on or got this working?
I can't find any documentation anywhere on facebook how to do this.
I posted a similar question a while back when I was trying to get this working but at this time youtube was still only providing the flash player to facebook.
It looks like someone else was having a similar issue here.
According to WizKid this is currently in a trial period for YouTube and hopefully will be rolled out to everyone at a future date.
I have a problem in loading a webpage that has a html5 video element in it that runs into a weird problem in chrome. I say it is weird because the behavior is inconsistent.
here is a screenshot to explain my problem...
this is the side by side comparison of the same page when opened in firefox and chrome. The firefox loads the page as it should but chrome does not load the video when play is clicked. Even IE 11 had no issues in loading the video.
Now let me specify the environment where the problem occurs as well. The whole application is hosted on IHS/ Websphere (test environment-although WAS does all the job- not under my control). The link is,
http://wwwtest.courts.mo.gov/civiceducation/pages/const_proj_home.html
I do have another environment where the site is hosted by tomcat where there is no problem at all no matter what browser is used. The link to that page (the exact page under review) is,
http://www.courts.mo.gov/civiceducation/pages/const_proj_home.html
I would appreciate if someone would help me in understanding what is causing this issue or why. Thanks in advance
UPDATE:::
durin my research i found this SO post What does status=canceled for a resource mean in Chrome Developer Tools? and found this link which says that it is a chrome bug issue dated april 2013 http://wwwtest.courts.mo.gov/civiceducation/pages/const_proj_home.html but then why does chrome load the videos when a different webserver(tomcat) is used?
UPDATE #2 ::::
i was able to isolate the problem just to mp4 files.In my section of code that handled the video, I flipped the source tags that pointed to mp4 and webm such that the webm is now listed first...
<video id="video1" width="850" height="530" poster="../snapshot/constitution_project_home_video_fullsize.png" controls="controls" preload="none" style="display:none;">
<source src="../Media/video/webm/const_proj_welcomevideo.webm" type="video/webm" />
<source type="video/mp4" src="../Media/video/mp4/const_proj_welcomevideo.mp4" />
If you are seeing this, then your browser does not support the video element. You are using an <strong>outdated</strong> browser. Please upgrade your browser to improve your experience.
</video>
Now the page load works just fine.
Even though this solved my original problem, I would still like to know what is causing this issue.
UPDATE #3::: Disregard update#2
I thought that the problem was solved but over the weekend I did not test it and now even webm files are not working. Its cancelling the request again. Only when I have websphere as my app server. Hence in am adding the tag "Websphere" back into the mix. Here is a screenshot now...
And here is the comparison screenshot between tomcat server and WAS 8.5 side by side on chrome
I am running out of ideas as my requirement going forward is that the content is going to be hosted on the Websphere server. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
After researching through a lot of materials thats is available online , the bug report from google for chromium etc, I still was not able to understand what was causing the myriad of inconsistent behavior( some videos worked sometimes- Cached maybe?). But I also found out that the version of chrome that I was using were 32 and 34 respectively on 2 test machines. My workplace network policy also prohibited chrome from updating itself automatically.
Hence I performed a manual update on one of my systems ?(v32 to v38) and after that update things started working the way it was supposed to. I updated my other system as well after that and it worked again.
So I dont know if I can post this as an answer here but to me it is now confirmed that it was a chrome bug that was causing the inconsistent behavior. And simply updating the browser (uninstall/re-install) worked as a solution.
I apologize to those who came here looking for a full fledged solution to this problem only to come here and find out that they have to just update the browser.
And last but not the least-- A BIG THANKS to all to who took time to even read and respond to my issue.
I have a html page with video tag,it work fine in every browser when use http,but if the website switch to https,the video can't play in iPhone safari browser, anyone ever seen this and know if there are ways around it? Thanks!
Check this link for the same question or this apple forum link if you have devkit.
You must have a valid Intermediate Certificate installed on the server. It is not enough to have only the server certificate installed.
The problem doesn't lie with the video, protocol, or the player. It has something to do with the SSL certificate. Have a look here - it describes a similar problem you're experiencing, but on the iPad.
