Red5 demo simpleBroadcast cannot work: Adobe Flash Player does not go through "allow"


I am testing Red5 demo simpleBroadcast

Click "Connect" Button, pops up a window:

Adobe Flash Player Settings Camera and Microphone Access localhost is requesting access to your camera and microphone. If you click Allow, you may be recorded.

two buttons: Allow, Deny.

But if I click Allow button, nothing happened. Actually it seems this small popped winodw does not work.

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 Adobe flash player: package: flashplugin-installer, 11.2.202.394ubuntu0.12.04.1


Solution

  • It is a bug present in Flash Player and not fixed by Adobe since years.

    As a workaround you could instruct the users of your site to visit the Website Privacy Settings panel and Always allow your site:

    Then the problematic window won't pop up anymore.
