Despite the growing popularity of HTML5 and the ability to play video and audio, Flash Player is used on sites very often. Movie players, browser games and applications, broadcasting a webcam image through a browser - all this is done thanks to Adobe Flash. This article will discuss how to set up Flash Player for correct operation in Yandex browser.
Conventionally, the entire setup can be divided into 2 parts. The first part - global - guarantees the correct operation of the player in the browser. Usually, there is no need to do this - everything works so well. The second part is the fine tuning of Flash for a specific application. For example, adjust the sound, select a microphone and webcam, specify the amount of resources that the player can take.
The whole essence of the global setting is to eliminate conflicts between two versions of the Flash player. The fact is that in the operating room, many users have installed separate module flash. But the Yandex browser has its own built-in player with the same functionality.
By default, both versions work, which can lead to conflicts when playing movies or browser games. Often this problem occurs for those users who use the browser Mozilla Firefox. It does not have a "native" player, so it suggests installing a system module common to all programs.
Resolving conflicts between versions
In order to resolve the conflict, users need to open the advanced browser settings. For security reasons, this cannot be done through the control panel. You need to use a special command to address bar. Follow the instructions provided:
After that, restart your browser. Now you have only one version of Flash Player running, and no conflicts should arise.
Flash Player Settings Manager
The settings of the player itself can be changed both for one site and for all programs as a whole. General setup carried out through the Abode manager in the control panel:
- Launch the start menu. To do this, use the round button and the operating system logo or the Win key.
- Open the Control Panel.
- In the search bar (top right) write "Flash" and press Enter.
- Run the found utility.
General plugin configurations are located here. They are sorted into 4 tabs.
"Storage" - saving some data necessary for the operation of applications, on HDD your his personal computer. These can be settings such as video resolution or audio volume, or save various games. Here you can choose whether sites can save such data.
"Camera and microphone" - settings for your microphones and webcams. Here, users determine whether websites can use these devices, and assign default devices.
"Playback" - peer-to-peer network settings. Increased performance and image stability due to additional load on the Internet channel.
"Advanced" - delete all saved settings, as well as manage application updates.
Context menu
Users can also call up a small window with basic settings through the context menu in the Yandex browser. To do this, you need to right-click on the object that uses the Flash player. For example, a video player or a browser game.
dropdown context menu you need to select the item "Settings ...". In the window that opens, there are 5 tabs for managing the player.
The article is primarily designed for fans of browser-based online games, in which the requirements for computer resources and software are high. At the same time, the article can also be used by those who have “slow down” video in their browsers.
Many complain that the browser online game terribly slows down, while 3D games "fly". 3D games are low-level programs and often depend on the capabilities of video devices. Flash player spins in the address space of the browser, which itself consumes computer resources. In addition, the speed of the Internet connection and the workload of the game server play a role.
Flash player is a program with increased requirements for the processor, memory and video device. That's why correct setting systems, selecting the correct version of the flash player can provide a comfortable game (video viewing) on almost many computers, regardless of the performance of the latter.
Let's consider sequentially what is needed for this.
1. Compliance with the system requirements of the operating system to the capabilities of the computer. There can be no comfortable work on a computer if all its resources are spent on ensuring the operation of the system, not to mention other programs. If your computer is weak, then you need to think about updating the hardware or choose less resource-intensive operating systems. Computer and system settings can be viewed along the path Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Information.
For example, on weak computer you can install Windows XP, although it is no longer supported by Microsoft. Windows installation 8 or 10 does not mean the system will fly. It also makes no sense to install a 64-bit OS on a 32-bit machine.
After installing the system, you need to find and install native drivers for all devices. Pay special attention to the video card driver.
2. Internet browsers Explorer, Mozilla Firefox use the version of flash player installed on the system. Browsers Google Chrome, Yandex browser and derivatives of them use their own plugin corresponding to latest version flash. If browsers derived from Chrome “slow down” for you, then you can use Moziila Firefox. In this case, you need to choose the appropriate version of the flash player. System requirements current version can be viewed at http://www.adobe.com/ru/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html . If you do not know what version of flash player you have installed, you can find out on the website http://whatismyflash.ru. You must open this link with the browser you use or want to use. Currently (May 2016), Adobe supports versions 11.2, 18.0, and 21.0. You can install other versions, such as 14.0. The version archive is located at https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html . When you download the archive, there may be 2 executable programs, the first with ActiveX support and the second with NPAPI support. If you are using Internet Explorer, then you do not need NPAPI, otherwise you need it.
3. Some people think that it is not necessary to enable the cache in the flash settings. You can not turn it on, but then the speed of your Internet connection must be at least 100 Mbps. And not with the provider, but to the site with your game. Otherwise, I think the cache must be enabled and its size set without restrictions. Cache games require several hundred MB.
4. And the last thing in the framework of this article. If you feel sluggish in the game, then check the current taskbar. If many are running third party programs, they also require certain resources. You can turn them off during the game.
The moral of this article is as follows. All software must be within the capabilities of the computer stuffing. The latest versions of any programs require more and more resources. And remember, extreme does not mean best. Even the most powerful computer requires respect for its resources.
Why is the video not showing on the Internet?
Most often, the reason lies precisely in the absence on the computer installed flash player. In this case, you will see a message on the screen like this "To view, you need to update flash player. Install from the official Adobe website. You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. Click here to download the latest version from the Adobe website"
