[Solved] Flash Player doesn't work on wimp.com

Unread post by presterscott » 2014-08-10, 01:15

Windows 7, Pale Moon desktop x86 24.7.1
Flash info: ActiveX version 14.0.0.145, Plug-in version 14.0.0.145, Pepper version "Not"

Video will not play on wimp.com. Tried several pages and no luck. Acts like Flash is not installed, gives placeholder message "ATTENTION: This video will not play. You currently do not have Adobe Flash installed on this computer. Please click here to download it (it's free!)"

Restarted with all add-ons disabled, no change.

Video will play correctly in IE 11 (version 11.0.9600.17207)

May be similar to "Bug 825470 - Flash Player - Hang Report - http://www.wimp.com/marsearth/" https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825470

Thanks for any help!

Direct link to Wimp: http://www.wimp.com if this is the site you're referring to.

Anyhow, all the videos play on the Wimp site play for me without any problems in 64 bit linux Pale Moon 24.7.1 using Flash Player plugin (11.2.202.394) and I'm using linux Mint 17, 64 bit.

I'll have to switch over to my Windows 7 hard drive and see if the videos on Wimp play with no problems.

I just switched over to my 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 hard drive and I'm using 32 bit Pale Moon 24.7.1 with Flash Player plugin 14.0.0.145 and all the videos on the Wimp site play for me without any problems.

BTW, I liked the video with the soccer block kick which went in for a goal score going the opposite way. Caught the opposing goalie "flat footed" and he was out of position.

OS is more specifically 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.

I should add, I don't have trouble with YouTube or Vimeo, which is where most of the wimp.com videos are hosted.

Pale Moon x86 24.7.1 on Win 7 x64 SP1 Ultimate. No problem. Flash player loads and plays the video without any issue on wimp.com.
Note: Flash player version: 11.7

So.. yet another breakage by Adobe?

Followup: I had another Windows PC running same version of Pale Moon and was not having these problems. Did a full uninstall and reinstall of Flash on the machine where I was having the problem. Everything works now. Sorry for the false alarm!
