Videos stopped playing on facebook [Merged]

Hi I have noticed that the videos have stopped playing on facebook, If I click on a link it says Video Unavailable we are having trouble playing this video.
I have checked my chromeplugins and I only have one Adobe Flash Player - Version: 18.0.0.194 and I using the latest Chromodo on windows 8.1 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Nick
p.s. the videos work fine using I.E. so it seems to be a Chrome issue
Mod edit: Added merged to the topic title, Captainsticks.

Update…I actually have the latest chrome browser on my computer 43.0.2357.130 m (64-bit) and any video’s on facebook autoplay as I scroll down the fb page…where as when i use Chromium or dragon the videos dont autoplay …they have a play button on them and as my previous post when i click the play button I get the Video Unavailable message. Is there anything obvious I am missing??
Thanks
Nick

I’m not sure, but I think it happened to me too. What I did was disable the NPAPI flag which I previously enabled.

So in case you didn’t do that or don’t remember doing it…

  1. Go to chrome://flags
  2. search for Enable NPAPI Mac, Windows
  3. Click disable.

Then restart Chromodo/Dragon completely and try again.

Hi nettek,
thanks for the info, I located the flag and it was already disabled, I enabled it and then disabled it again just to try it but it’s still the same. This is really frustrating. Is there a way of pointing the chromium flash player to the Chrome player to enable it to work??? anyone??
Thanks
Nick

Hi nalacknick,
Sorry I can’t test this further as I do not have a Facebook account.


If anyone else out there is using Chromodo and also has a Facebook account are you experiencing similar issues with videos?

Thanks.

Hi captainsticks…many thanks for trying to assist me…I have some good news :slight_smile: …It has started working today…I did do a fresh install of Chromodo yesterday although it didn’t work at the time …but maybe the shutdown and reboot today has done the trick. Anyway issue solved :slight_smile:
Thanks
Nick

Forget last comment, It’s stopped playing them again today :frowning: Anybody else have any ideas on this?
Thx

Thank you for the feedback. We will investigate the issue immediately.

Hi,

I’ve just tried this link in my Chromodo which is version 43.3.3.176.

Can you supply some extra data to help us solve this issue?

Could you show us your chrome://plugins/ screen, click on details in the top right corner.

This will help us work out what’s wrong with your version.

Thanks,
Shane.

Hi,
I’ve used Comodo Dragon for 3 years and it was always perfect for me, but since your last update I’m experiencing problems. I can’t play videos on Facebook anymore. I tried my best, I updated Adobe Flash but nothing changed. Other video sites work, though! And I tried with other browsers and they work too! So I guess it’s a Comodo Dragon problem. Can you please help me fix this? 'cause I really like using Comodo Dragon and I don’t want to change it with another browser.
When I try to play the video, it appears: “Video Unavailable. We are having trouble playing this video. Learn More”; it’s the exactly same problem exposed in the Adobe Flash forum on this link (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1887020) but even they say that it’s not a problem with Adobe. I’m attaching a screen. Please help me.
