Can't watch South Park with newer Flash Players?!

Hi!

I have a problem that has been troubling me for some time. I am not able to watch episodes of the cartoon South Park on its website www.southparkstudios.com with Flash Players versions 11 and above. I had to reinstall version 10 which works fine. Otherwise I only get a black screen instantly. I am running Windows 8 x64 with Firefox 26. Can anybody tell me what the reason for this is, and if I can fix it somehow? I have already switched from WIndows 7 to 8, the problem remained. I also uninstalled the Flash Player according to Adobe's guide and reinstalled it, nothing helped. I can not disable hardware acceleration, it just stays activated. The problem does not occur with Internet Explorer 11, but I prefer Firefox... Also, other websites I frequent like Youtube are not affected, as far as I can tell.

I would really appreciate any help in this matter!

Best wishes

This discussion is 7 years old and no longer relevant. Flash Player is dead. Almost nobody uses Flash videos anymore. It's all HTML5 and streaming now.

I know this question is really old but Firefox might have the Tracking Protection thing activated which blocked some things on the site. When i deactivated it (on the i next to the URL) it worked fine.

Hey, i had the same problem, while trying to watch the videos on mozila firefox. I just opened Microsoft edge and videos worked there perfectly! You could also try internet explorer maybe.

Southpark studios has a new "beta player" and it doesn't work with any browser I tested. The Classic Player still works as it always has.

If you click the top left

You can choose the player version.

I'd stay away from the Beta.

Hello Mike,

Thank you very much for your advice! Unfortunately, your solution did not help me as the problem occurs with both the "beta player" and the "classic" one. Exactly the same thing happens: instant black screen, no "loading circle" or any other display...

Kind regards
