    All videos run sandboxed automatically when they run out of a Forced folder. They run using its default player. So, if you have selected a default player for the different types of videos and they run fine out of the sandbox, they ll run the same way in the sandbox.

    And there's also no difference whether the player is portable or not. Forcing programs and Forced folders works the same whether you are using the regular version or the portable.

    I am glad, guest. Remember, Sandboxie is really simple, but you can make things complicated.:)

    What I have done for playing media, is simply leave the media where ever. Then I run the media player as a forced program into my default box. No internet access. That way all I have to do is double click the the media whereever and it plays sandboxed. Simple

    Pretty much the same I do although I use a couple of media players to play different video/audio formats. But all players (foobar and mpc-hc) are forced to run sandboxed.

    Thats the perfect way for handling WMP.

    @guest, be aware, videos for which Windows media player is the default player, will not run sandboxed out of a forced folder. Thats because WMP is pretty much part of Windows. The way to handle WMP is making it a forced program. All other players should run fine out of a forced folder.:)

    Thanks for the advice, i don't use WMP anyway, mostly SmPlayer & VLC.

    I checked out Origin, and it also seems to work OK. I downloaded the FIFA 16 demo, it installed correctly, but it tells me to install new Nvidia drivers, so haven't been able to play. But I think I will use Steam and Origin only for demo's, because overall I don't like the whole concept, I think it's better to buy DVD ROM's.
     
  12. Good practice for Windows OS needing WMP. On Windows 8 and 10 you can use the default apps and disable WMP (Windows apps run in AppContainer Sandbox).

    BTW, this is another excellent example of how SBIE can help to fix problems: I use several sandboxes to sandbox Firefox, and in one of them my favorites got corrupted, and FF couldn't fix it with the back up. No problem, I copied the extensions and bookmark back up folder, removed the whole profile in the affected sandbox, copied the folders back, and I was up and running again. :D

    Flash Player question with FF42x64 + v5.07.1
    something changed with FF42x64....?
    I need plugin-container.exe in Start/Run and Internet Access to play Flash content.
    Firefox x32, SBIE had plugin-container and e.g., FlashPlayerPlugin_19_0_0_245.exe in Start/Run.
    And nada in Internet Access.
    Firefox x64. SBIE just has plugin-container in Internet Access and Start/Run.
    No reference to Flash Player..?
    Is Flash 32bit on FF 64bit akin to WoW.

    No luck with Flash Player or no luck with FF42x64 in general.

    Sticking with FFx32 as well. Matter of fact I had Palemoon 64bit for awhile and reverted it back to 32bit as well.

    bjm, my computers are 32 bits so I cant test the new Firefox 64 bits version but even in 32 bits computers, some websites require the plugin to have access to the internet, otherwise contents wont stream. For example, sites that stream live sport games are like that. But in sites like YouTube, the plugin is not required to have internet access to watch videos. If you have to allow the plugin to have internet access in YouTube, then things related to Flash work a little different with the 64 bits version of the browser. Note: The first time you visit YouTube in a fresh browsing session using an Internet access restricted sandbox, you might get a SBIE message about the plugin requesting internet access but that doesn't mean is required or needed for watching videos.

    BTW, I almost know for sure that there's something wrong with SBIE v5, I'm now running v4, and the Firefox crashing problem, when running in the same sandbox as Opera 12, has disappeared. I will soon report this, but it just shows how new versions can introduce unexpected problems.

    Well, happened a few times since FFx64 as I mostly view short embedded news clips. They run with native viewer. And no live stream.
    After a few times of trying to bypass Internet Access message for Flash content. I gave in and added plugin-container to Internet Access.
    Something appears different as I wrote. There's no reference to FlashPlayer. Just plugin-container.
    I did create new Firefox sandbox upon FFx64 install. I was able to remove several Start/Run that I had added (over time) with FFx32. Internet Access and Start/Run with FFx64 were simply firefox.exe until I recently gave in and added plugin-container.
    FFx64 has re-incarnated occasional Not Responding with downloads.
    Seems, I have to step through download slowly. Too quick and Not Responding.
    Bizarre, after I Terminate. Download is always intact waiting for recovery.
    Probably a Norton issue that has cropped up since FFx64 for me.
    Maybe I need to add back one of those Start/Run's.
    maybe FFx64 user will chime in
    Thanks.....

    Those processes are related to Flash Protected mode.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html

    You need to allow them to run but they dont require internet access, anywhere.

    In some news sites, like cbs.sports, I found them having videos that don't require internet for the plugin and other content that does require it.

    Hmm, so maybe un-tic Protected Mode for some will allow Flash content sans plugin Internet Access.
    Or, just say okay to plugin Internet Access.
    As I recall FFx32. I was okay with FlashPlayer and plugin with Start/Run and never had to allow Internet Access.
    My viewing choices haven't changed. So, my astute deductive reasoning suggests FFx64 causal. Or, FlashPlayer19 :confused: :argh:

    Bjm, make it simple, If you have to allow internet for plugin container to watch videos in YouTube, then things work different with the 64 bits Firefox than they do with the 32 bits version.

    I know when I will be required to allow internet access to plugin container, so I have two Firefox sandboxes. In my everyday one, I don't allow it. In the one I use for streaming sports or cbs sports, I do. Either way I feel secure.
