Enabling Media Streaming in Google Chrome

Summary of the Problem

Media no longer plays back in the Google Chrome Browser, while the player loads it shows only zeroes for the duration.

First noticed on 23 May 2017 with Google Chrome 58.0.3029.110, although this may apply to previous versions of Google Chrome.

Note that while the video post loads, the duration in the scrubber bar shows a length of 00:00.

Resolution

1. Open Google Chrome and enter chrome://settings/content into the address bar.
2. Scroll to the Flash section of the window that appears.
3. Ensure that the radio button for Block sites from running Flash is not selected. By default the recommended Ask first... radio button should be selected.
4. Click on the manage Manage Exceptions button
5. Enter the media.northwestern.edu into the text box.
6. Click on the Done button
7. Reload the Chrome tab containing the Avalon media object you wish to stream, it should now play.
