Why does my flash player exit fullscreen mode on its own about 2-3 minutes after I enter fullscreen mode on every site?

Title says it all. It happens on every site that uses flash, whether its a video hosting site like youtube or a livestreaming site like twitch, my video will always exit fullscreen on its own after a few minutes of it being in fullscreen mode. If chrome ask to allow fullscreen mode, which it does for certain sites, I always allow. It just started happening the other for no reason what so ever. I think there was an update for flash player that was installed before the problem began to occur, but since then I have re-installed the update again just to be safe. I am on chrome and my flash version is 13.0.0.206. Someone please help this is soooo annoying.

I Have this problem too in IE11 on Windows 8.1. It's really annoying. It's a problem that can only be seen when you're watching full length stuff, like TV shows.

Could be page coding to blame but there must be a lot of people making the same mistakes. I think Flash ahiuld been coded to handle/prevent this for the future of IPTV. At the moment it's a reason for me to recommend against using Flash for streaming video delivery.

Exiting FULL screen is triggered by one of three things.

1. Pressing "ESC" on the keyboard - a "user input".

2. Clicking the "toggle" on the player interface, which placed the video into FULL screen - again, a "user input".

3. The page refreshing or new content loading in the page - can be "user input", or something like a javascript or ad in the page.

Since Chrome uses its own "proprietary" plug-in, which functions independently of the ActiveX (IE) and Standard Plug-in (Firefox), you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and it'll have no effect on Chrome. You can't download or update "PepperFlash" from here.

If you go to the Chrome Settings:

Click "Show advanced settings..."

and click "Reset browser settings"

Thanks for the quick reply but it didnt work. It still just automatically exits out of fullscreen on its own doing a few minutes after I enter fullscreen. I should add i have no add ons to chrome that would affect this, because after i reset browser setting i tested it with all extensions disabled and i still had the same problem. any other suggestions???

Do you see this same thing in other browsers?
