Anyone else unable to launch ABC-TV's player?

<p>I would sure like to catch up on some missed episodes but just can’t get them to load. I disabled the Adblock Plus on Mozilla; I even tried to use (gasp) Internet Explorer, a no no in this house. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Do you have a firewall? For some reason I cannot watch videos on CNN unless I disable my firewall, and I have to leave the CNN site and switch off the firewall then return to CNN. Doesn’t work if I disable it while I am at the site. I can watch other videos on other sites so don’t know why I have this problem with CNN. </p>

<p>Other than that I have no idea.</p>

<p>I can use it and I have the Mozilla browser. So I’m guessing it’s not Mozilla. Bummer–no Dancing With The Stars replays…</p>

<p>Have you tried it with Firefox? I’m doing fine with the evil Internet Explorer, so I think it’s something in your setup, not the browser.</p>

<p>Mozilla = Firefox</p>

<p>Have you found any solution worrywart?</p>

<p>Is javascript enabled? To check go to tools (on firefox), options, content and make sure javascript is checked.</p>

<p>make sure you are not blocking scripts with an add-in</p>

<p>I appreciate all these suggestions. I have checked out each of the things you’ve mentioned, downloaded the newest version of Java and the newest Adobe Flash Player, and still nothing. So I did a search and found out that I am far from alone in having this problem and yet no one seems to have found a solution. Very very disappointing as I don’t have a TIVO or DVR.</p>

<p>My daughter has this very problem. She has tried uninstalling and reinstalling the MoveNetworks plugin and that has not helped. Any solutions would be appreciated!</p>

<p>I have the same problem on a laptop. The desktop does it fine, the laptop will run everything except ABC. I don’t get it either.</p>

<p>I came across this where people talked about the same issue and someone solved it by making some changes to the settings in the adobe flash player (if that is what you have)</p>

<p>I have no idea of the authenticity of this as I don’t have the problem, but thought I would post it to see.</p>

<p>I would guess it would have to be some sort of setting on your computers/ zoeydog - maybe you can sit down with the laptop and the desktop and compare the settings in the players to see if/how they differ?</p>

<p>Thanks for caring enough to do some research, scm. Unfortunately, it didn’t do the trick for me, even when I use Internet Explorer so it’s back to the drawing board.</p>

<p>Good thing we were able to save all those weeks of Lost on our DVR, our daughter had a lot of catching up to do on spring break!</p>

<p>You can get almost all the shows on TV Shack, Megavideo, Hulu, Sidereel, Tudou and many others. And without commercials!</p>

<p>I’ve been having the same problem with abc.com as well. I thought it was just my ancient computer, although it functions fine for pretty much everything else. Thank goodness we have a DVR now. I’d rather watch shows vegged out on the bed than in front of the computer anyway.</p>

<p>Thanks for those websites, hmom5. I’ve only heard of Hulu (which sent me directly back to the ABC player!) but I will check out the others when I get a moment.</p>
