catfisher Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I went to watch an episode of ABC's 20/20 and got an error stating that my browser does not support HLS streaming. Is this correct? I hate having to go to other browsers to watch different video types. I also had to switch browsers because Amazon Prime Videos in my free trial could not be played through Maxthon. My version is 5.2.3.4000 and the updater says it is current. Is this browser not using current video standards? Thanks for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catfisher Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I usually never install Beta versions; but for this issue I decided to try it. The ABC 20/20 video is still not playing. I can't try Amazon because the free trial expired.

catfisher Posted August 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 As I said in my reply, I hate Beta versions. At my favorite adult streaming site I now get this error: This Flash Player is not compatible. Weirdly, the video stream actually plays for about 5 seconds before it fails. I reinstalled Adobe Flash two times. The first time from the top of the page where Maxthon prompted me to install the extension; after which I still got the error. Then I tried going directly to the Adobe website to install; after which I get 5 seconds of video, then the error. For now I am going to uninstall Maxthon and revert to a stable version.

catfisher Posted August 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thanks, I appreciate knowing that. I reverted to v5.2.7.5000 and all is working fine, other than the original HLS issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugSir006 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hi there, the ABC video issue has been fixed, you can use 5.2.7.5000 to watch it now. It's really hard for me to reproduce the flash issue. It will be appreciated if anyone can provide a complete video about the flash issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
