scott_donald Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Installed a fresh copy of Flash player - latest onto a brand new install of El Capitan 10.11.1 Installed Flash and it worked for an hour next day turned on the computer and youtube, instagram and BBC videos no longer worked... nothing else was installed. video seems to load but i get the first frame in the screen and nothing moves. Installed Chrome, Safari and Firefox no difference Adobe flash help page says it is installed and the animated graphic works Uninstalled flash used the uninstaller numerous times reinstalled with no change installed the latest java runtime and no change... in the settings area for flash it says i have both versions installed etc and up to date no firewall so confused as to why it is not working... i have another mac pro that it is working fine... i don't want to reformat again and find the same problem... any ideas??? installed on a gigabyte z77 3dh with a gtx 620 graphics and clover boot loader.... seems with or without flash... no online video works...

vusun123 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think Safari blocked Flash Player, the same goes with Chrome and Firefox Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/309091-flash-player-not-working-on-el-capitan/#findComment-2183249 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give us an example of a video (let's say YouTube) and a browser (so that we don't install all of them, if the problem occurs with all of them) that doesn't work for you? So we can work on a concrete case? I've had some issues with Opera before. Because newer versions look for hardware decoding. And I don't think my card supports that. So I switched to Safari and, with no Flash Player installed, I've got no problems so far. Still, one of those browsers should have worked. So let's see. Maybe this is a different issue. Also, see what does this page tell you: https://www.youtube.com/html5 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/309091-flash-player-not-working-on-el-capitan/#findComment-2184487 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrk73 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Chrome has disable flash by default, You have to manual enable it. Also check your System setting to see if Flash icon appear there Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/309091-flash-player-not-working-on-el-capitan/#findComment-2184616 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you upload your configs from both hacks, for comparison? After cleaning the smbios part away.Also, are you running both with or without Nvidia drivers?

Also, are you running both with or without Nvidia drivers? well spent my lunch hour and then a while before dinner tonight... seems its USB problem... 4 rows of USB in the back - 2x2 USB 2.0 and 2x2 USB 3.0... when i have sound USB card with any other USB in a single row then there is no video on any of the browsers... when i have one in each then its working... the Stupid USB problem for EL Capitan is hitting that computer hard!!! similar in my own Z87 build where i only have half of them working but i am waiting for a more concrete simpler fix....

I guess this is something specific to these two motherboards. I've got no such issues with my Gigabyte. All USBs are working fine. And YouTube videos are also loading fine. Pretty random cause, if you ask me. I mean, you wouldn't expect USBs to be related to any video glitches.
