No live view in Chrome

Cortopassi — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 21:20:29 GMT

(To preface this, Firefox live view works)

Chrome updated to Version 60.0.3112.78 (Official Build) (64-bit), verified content settings to allow flash and specifically allowed arlo site. Update flash (if that is even necesary since seems integrated in Chrome)

No matter what I do I get Chrome telling me the plugin was blocked:

Even if I click on Run All... The flash player remains blocked.

The lock icon setting show that flash is allowed:

Any ideas? Thanks.

I too suddenly had this problem in Chrome. If you look at the top where you enter the URL then across to the right is there a symbol indicating that certain plugins are blocked?

See this article http://www.online-tech-tips.com/google-softwaretips/enable-flash-chrome-specific-websites/

chrome:plugins no longer works in the latest releases but I changed setting in Chrome:flags and got things working again.

Yes! The chrome:flags on this one:

Changing to enabled vs. default fixed it!

Also having this issue.

I allowed it in my setting and made sure I was running the latest version.

Thanks in advance!

Turns out I wasn't running the latest Chrome. Updated and ran into this immediately. Thanks!

Also experienced this sudden issue starting early this morning (7.28.2017). My chrome already had all the properties correctly set as detailed in the online-tech-tips link. However, 'was able to get each Live feed working (only one at a time) by first refreshing the Live feed page...clicking one of the "Live" buttons...waiting about 2 to 3 seconds then clicking the plugin-blocked icon in the upper right corner and clicking "Run all plugins". This only works one time per refresh. Also...if you click the "Run all plugins" too soon after clicking the "Live" button, it fails...and if you wait too long it fails as well. I suspect the amount of delay depends on machine speed...my laptop is pushing 6 years. 'Submitted a support request this morning...but only hearing crickets.

I have been having this exact issue the past 2 weeks!

Do:

chrome://flags/#run-all-flash-in-allow-mode

That solved it for me.

I still have a problem and don't get any 'Live' Videos. I have tried all of the posted tips and steps, but can't get any of them to fix them 'problem'

I have to go back to Yorkshire in 34 hours and will not be able to physically access the Cameras from there...

I can get the videos on 'history' OK, but NOT on 'Live'.

I can also get 'live' Videos on my iphone, but NOT 'Online'.

Take a look at the first post here.

Do you get a similar error message about flash plugins being blocked?

No, I got a banner at the top of my Computer saying that a newer version of Flash was available, so I downloaded and installed it, ( making sure to untick the 'extras' first.)

I can access Videos and play them for 'History', but NOT in 'Live', so I cannot 'Stream' Live Video.

Please help if you can, I have to drive to Yorkshire tomorrow...

Go to the 3 vertical dots, click help - about to make sure you are on the latest version of Chrome.

Then go to crome:flags and enable both flash options.

If none of that works then just use different browser for now.

Using a difeerent Browser is the only thing that works, thanks. I did try this before I updated and rebooted everything, so didn't think it worked, but just treid again and yes it works with Firefox.

This is the one that did it for me too! ....thank you very much for figuring it out, I thought I was going to have to use Microsoft Edge to use security cameras that use flash for viewing, wow!

Cheers!
