You can try Adobe-Flash Player. It works well on my PC

Your system may not support the player you currently have -try an earlier Adobe-FP.

It works for me. (Mac OS X 10.5.8, Safari 5.0.6, Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.10)

If Flash is working for you on other web sites, then the proxy may very well be the problem. The page source is not directly linking to the media server, but rather (apparently) through a PHP request. Validation of the request could be hampered by the intervening proxy, which in turn would cause the Flash widgets to be non-functional.

You can also try a different browser; sometimes the different ways that browsers package http streams can cause different results on the server side.

Unless you were logged in as a sudoer on that server, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't.

ETA

For you as a client, the proxy server would probably raise a 404 or some such if it failed to make a connection to the named resource, which in this case I am assuming is a PHP script. The error I refer to is occurring at the script server as a validation failure, and neither your browser nor your proxy are aware that it has occurred unless the script server sends a notice to the web server to include an error message in the http stream.

It is possible that your local Flash Player process raises an error if there is no reply to the event triggered by the widget, in which case there might be an error log someplace to verify this.

Sorry about any confusion that caused. "ETA" is an acronym for "edited to add." It is used frequently on web forums to indicate that the post has been edited since the original time in order to add something later. As a courtesy, it is considered proper "netiquette" to let others know when one changes a message after it has been posted in case someone responds to the earlier version, which might cause confusion. "ETAA" means "edited to add again"; a second after thought was added. (This is modeled on the letter-writing convention of "p.s." and "p.p.s.")



Good work! If it is indeed your firewall, then a solution is at hand. If not, the other most likely place this is occurring is at the proxy server, in which case you could file a request for them to open the appropriate port. A third and optimal solution would be to request that the site itself upgrade to the RTMPT protocol at the origin, but that is also the option most remote to your control.

In networking terms, a protocol is a standard for transferring information between machines. On the internet, two of the most common protocols are "HTTP" and "HTTPS"; other common ones you might see are "FTP" and "SFTP". If you look at your web browser's location bar, it is the part before the "://" in the URI (also called URL).

RTMP was originally developed by Macromedia (the developers of Shockwave and Flash) which has since been acquired and is currently maintained by Adobe. RTMPE adds encryption, which was supposed to make it more secure, but it has long been superseded by RTMPT. This adds "tunneling", a way of embedding an encrypted stream within the HTTP stream, thus providing excellent security and performance without the need to open an additional port in the firewall.

Please check the documentation that comes with NIS to determine whether it is active as a firewall and how to open a specific port. It is also possible that the firewall included with Windows 7 is active as well, so follow the help system provided with Windows to check for this. They both maintain activity logs, so use the documentation to find them. If you see evidence of blocked requests on port 1935, you know that the media stream has gotten this far and opening the port will fix the problem. If not, then the port needs to be opened at the proxy server as well.

You only need one firewall or the other. If it were my machine, I would remove Norton entirely, but it's not my machine, so I shall explain why and leave the choice to you.

With the release of Windows 7, Microsoft includes arguably the best malware (the more inclusive name for viruses, trojans, worms, and spyware) protection available for Windows and surely the quickest response to security flaws detected in its software. IE 9 and most of the other major web browsers now include functions that check for suspicious links and potentially dangerous file types.

Unless you are running a server farm, there is really no need for any additional protection as there once was with XP or Vista, especially if you keep up to date with the recommended patches and updates. Better yet, if you run with the default settings, you are more likely than not to already have the best balance between effective protection and excellent performance.

Since no matter how smart we think we are, someone can find a way to trick us, the only other thing you might want to do is occasionally scan for spyware that might have been unintentionally installed with a toolbar or a media file from a malicious link. This last one can be particularly difficult to defend against in an email message unless one is very alert to the tricks. Not even Norton can save one from a cleverly faked email message.

On the other hand, if you are happy with the way things are running now, you might as well not try to fix something that isn't broken, but rather wait until it is time to renew the license before you consider removing it.

Did you get port 1935 open through all firewalls between you and the web site?

There could be one running on your computer, one running on your network connection, and third at the proxy server.

"Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits." - Satchel Paige

What I mean is that there could be more than one firewall between you and the web site.

The first firewall is Norton Internet Security (NIS). This is the one that is running on your computer.

The box that connects your computer to the internet may also have a firewall running on it. If you are connecting wirelessly or sharing the connection with other computers in your house, then this is very likely.

There is also the proxy server which very likely is running behind a firewall as well.

If any one of these does not allow traffic on port 1935, the media player on that web site will not work for you.

The simplest solution would be if you could convince the web site to upgrade their media server to RTMPT which works through port 80 like standard HTTP traffic.

Language learning is like falling in love*English learning should be both fun and successful!

What I pointed to in the first picture which is available at the last post is "advance settings" of windows's firwall. But as I said the rest of options aren't activity. I think because the NIS controls on all of them. Can I do any thing during the advance settings of Windows's firewall as it is being pointing in that picture.

Please take the time to check the Microsoft support site for instructions on how to adjust the built-in firewall software and how to keep the Microsoft malware protection up-to-date, then get rid of NIS. Symantec claims that you can do this from the Windows Control Panel. Past experience leads me to be skeptical. You may need to do some more research to get it completely removed from your computer.


leon is right. I had a computer and wished to change from Norton to another companies product. I un-installed their product from the control panel, but, that corrupted my PC in a way that I could not load the new product. I sent and received several emails from Norton, but, none of what they told me worked. I ended up consulting with Microsoft, and for AU$85, a very pleasant lady phoned from Malaysia and spent over 2 hours trying to fix the problem.She actually took control of my computer so she could see exactly what was there. Her knowledge was faultless but in the end she got me to install [Via our other PC] a 'Norton removal tool' in a thumb drive, which I then used to 'clean' Norton completely out of my PC.
I also bought my wife a laptop which had a trial period of Norton with it. I did not activate this 'trial product' and tried to install the product we use. Impossible. I took the laptop back to the computer store and it took them several attempts to get rid of Norton. To them, this is a common problem. It is almost a virus in itself so I steer well clear of Norton products.

RULES ARE FOR THE OBEYENCE OF FOOLS AND FOR THE GUIDENCE OF WISE MEN

If I have tried chating a representative on the web-site of NIS. Would it be all right? But I don't exactly know what the port needs to be open, so I will tell them to connect to my computer during the remote connection.

Thank you so much indeed, however, you didn't tell me what I can exactly tell the representive. I mean what needs to configure in the firewall exactly.

---

Language learning is like falling in love*English learning should be both fun and successful!

First: I have chated a representative at Norton and he helped me to configure "the Smart Firewall" in the NIS as follows:
first, I open the "smart firewall" option in the NIS. Then: I choose the "configure" option that is beside advance settings . After that, I have choose"configure" option which is beside the General Rules. Next, inside the window of general rules I choosed "add"button. Finally: I have added the URL at which the sounds files didn't play well with me. But that did make no diffrence.
Second:I have uninstalled the Norton Internet Security( incidentally from the Contrlo panel) when I suspected that it might be causing the problem. However, I didn't see any difference when I open the sounds files again

Third: I have been told that in order to be able to stream Flash content with RTMP protocol, the following port should not be blocked by your firewall:TCP 1935 - rtmp (Real Time Messaging Protocol). However, I dinn't see the TCP 1935 to make it is not blocked, have a look at these pictures







When the representative of Norton he helped me to removed the NIS and the firewall of Windows has become controling on its won.I asked him to configure the firewall he told me that is he is not trained with this and in addition,
1-The error might be due to the browser compatibility with the website.
2-The error would be with the player or the file association of the audio files in the website.

As a result, Please tell me how can I configure the firewall?

Finally: How can I enable the Javascript? Is it in the Browser's settings?

I have reinstall when I have found out that the probem wasn't realted with NIS.

As I when I contacted the Support service of the website told me that there isn't Relationship for NIS with the problem at all. However, I insisted to uninstall it to be quite sure and then I reinstall it.
If I can make any configuration inside the Smart firewall inside NIS.

NB: Did have a look at my PM?

Language learning is like falling in love*English learning should be both fun and successful!

That is the question. It is apparently a question not even the technical representative from Symantec is prepared to answer.

Some firewall software makes exceptions on an application basis rather than by port. Please search the help function of NIS for how to formulate a general rule for the Flash application and TCP. Even though the request goes out through port 80 (the standard for HTTP), that might be what NIS needs to know in order to permit incoming traffic on 1935 (RTMP/E).

You haven't been clear about this, but you might also check to see if the administrator has allowed such traffic on the LAN.

I will note that under no circumstances should you allow unsolicited UDP traffic on a LAN that is not under your direct control. I see that this is correctly blocked in the General Rules.
