Here's a typical example:
http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/video/megyn-kelly-part-2/n44076
Click on the URL, screen comes up and displays a "Start Flash Player"
message. Click on same, and after a brief pause the commercial plays.
After that, the "Play" symbol appears on screen, and, when clicked,
resolves to the endlessly spinning circle and the message "Buffering".
Yes, endless. No matter how long I wait that's all the further it goes.
Am I missing a plug-in or extension? Preference?
Advice greatly appreciated.
W7, SM 2.22.1
I have the same OS and SM version, with AdBlock Plus.
I don't have SM set to "Always ask" for Flash videos, so they normally
just play without a prompt.
In this case, I get a blank video pane, then an "apology" that they
can't load a message from their sponsors (wanh...). In the upper right
corner of the video pane, a clock counts down by seconds: 20, 19, 18...
When it gets to zero, the video plays normally. I don't have to click
"Play - -
I have a similar experience at hulu.com; however, some ads do slip
through and have to be muted.
Thank you for your reply. You seem to be describing the normal operation
of AdBlock Plus. However, your videos then play normally. I've set Flash
to "Always Activate" and videos still don't play (the result is as I
originally described, i.e. ad o.k. but video no).
But it's not jut videos--I get a similar result from certain text-only
Web pages. Example:
http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303560204579248714085721176
(and other WSJ pages).
Still must be missing a plug-in or extension or Preference setting?
