I don't have any problems.
haven't had any probs so far , ( knock on wood )
what browser and type of connection have you ?
The video viewers cause my Firefox browser to go into fits of whatever. I tend to jump as fast as I can over the videos, in order not to lock up my browser.
Me too, on three different PCs. There is an option is FF that leats you deal with different media in different ways (except the useful one of not letting them open at all).Originally Posted by watterinja
There's a media manager plugin for FF that kinda works.
Set your browser not to open media files automatically.
^ Ok, let me try that.
I find all of DDs posts after 1 am cause my browser to act as if it is pissed.
Green if I could!Originally Posted by slimboyfat
I tried DD's so-called fix - tried to block all pics from TeakDoor - site looked awful.
DD you would be wonderfully kind if you could disable automatic playing from YOUR end. In that way the 'rest of us' would be a little bit happier. Perhaps you could try an alternative way of launching the videos?
I use an extension called Mediawrap for Firefox and I don't have any problems.
^ What's it designed to do?
^let's you play active-x thingies with the correct firefox plugins and also lets you turn autoplay on/off etc...
^^^^You need to stop your browser opening multimedia files automatically, nothing to do with jpg's
I shall give it a go.Originally Posted by NickA
I think it may not be the browser options but windows media player options, I just been looking at ff and ie.
I've had the same problems, every time I open one of his threads with an embedded video it crashes my firefox. I've reinstalled and tried the things DD said as he told me in a PM. I'll keep experimenting.
Don't install or use Windows Media Player, replace it with Winamp and VLC.
Fixed.
I tried that. VLC just started playing everything at full width, but about 500 pixels high. Very strange it was.Originally Posted by Frankenstein
I'm not going to un-install WMP as it's excellent with regard to its library setup.
Just opened another of DD's embedded video threads and my firefox completely crashed. Luckily, firefox gives you the restore all tabs function because I have a number of windows open always, with emails, etc..
Not sure what the cause is but it's still there. Never have any crash on any other site whatsoever.
Problem originates from the source
DD should youtube his clips and then post the links in the message bodies.
And what happens next time youtube is banned in Thailand again?
The problem originates from browser settings, I check with firefox, ie and opera, none crash, the couple of times they have crashed I have redone the thread as it has been too media heavy.
