Starting today, users of Firefox can also enjoy Netflix on Linux. And though we do not officially support Linux, Chrome playback has worked on that platform since late 2014. Given that the major browsers are deprecating Flash Player, and it's already really difficult to use it in Safari, you might be better off just figuring out how to deliver HTML5 video to Safari by default. Since then, we have launched HTML5 video on Chrome OS, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, Firefox, and Edge on all supported operating systems. We can hide the controls by not adding the controls attribute to the video element. Things like VLC media player, FFMpeg, or Mediainfo can tell you which codec was used to make a video file. This is because the player thinks the plugin is installed and available and it thinks the plugin is running the content. Cursory searching reveals that Safari needs you to use (an implementation of) the H264 codec (Safari 3.2+) or H265 codec (Safari 11+). If the user has Flash installed but doesn't give permission to load it on the site, infinite spinning can occur. HTML5 Video Support by Codec For a more detailed writeup of the various codecs and their browser support, we highly suggest Mozilla's excellent documentation. This implies that there's JavaScript on the page that's making decisions about which browser gets a particular video format. Click on video area with flashSS tech won't play/pause the player. Where the video is working, it's not actually streaming Flash video.We don't provide good logging or error messaging, because these aren't conditions that should normally be encountered, and we're no longer in a place in our execution where we have the error messaging and debugging facilities. We'll show Movie Not Loaded when the browser doesn't send us the movie (depending on the browser, it generally invokes Flash Player and then streams the movie over), or if we encounter a situation that we think might be malicious, in which case we might just halt before loading the content, which has the same effect in our UI. It's probably a malformed asset like a graphic in their video player UI. Something about the video player itself is triggering a low-level security check in Flash Player.
