H.264 TS playback fail in Quicktime

Recently Hong Kong started the digital TV broadcasting. Which using H.264 Transport Stream as standard, however, when I use the set top box to record the program. It cannot be play back in Quicktime. As I know Quicktime support H.264, is there any reason why it cannot playback H.264 TS file?
I am using Quicktime Pro 7.5

There are variations of H.264 (HD video is H.264) and I never heard of QT playing transport streams. Try MPEG Streamclip , it's free. See if that works.

"playback failed" error when streaming

Hello all, I converted a .mpg file to .3gp file and upload that file on a Darwin Streaming Server. I can connect to the .3gp file using QuickTime, but when I try to view the file by a Sony Ericsson s710 phone I have this error: "playback failed". Can any one help me with this issue? Thank you so much!

BUG: Playback Fails When Loading A Random Video - Firmware 1.2

I've been looking all over on where to post a bug, and for a fix for this bug I found. Not many seem to be having this problem (I assume not many are trying to randomly play a video from a video playlist)
BUG: Playback Fails When Loading A Random Video
iPod FIRMWARE: 1.2
PROBLEM (1): When pressing "Play" on a video playlist or on 'Music Videos' while the iPod is set to Random->Song, the iPod displays a white playback screen, displays song 0 of 0, empty duration bar and a duration time of 0:00/-0:00.
PROBLEM (2): After successful playing a seleted video within a video playlist or music video list, the iPod attempts to play a randomly choosen video (HDD clicks abnormally) but times-out and returns the user to the Playlist selection screen.
iPod MODEL: 60GB Video - Black [Bought in NOV 05]
If anyone knows how to report a bug, or anyone else having this problem (Try it on you iPod, post your results!) let me know!

I've been looking all over on where to post a bug...If anyone knows how to report a bug let me know!

DynamicStreamingResource and Error: Playback failed with certain media

I'm running into an issue with a DynamicStreamingResource wherein, with certain media, I receive a Playback failed error after about 20 seconds of playback. The error does not appear with these assets, which play back perfectly:
_dynamicStreamingResource = new DynamicStreamingResource("rtmp://cp67126.edgefcs.net/ondemand");
_dynamicStreamingResource.streamItems = Vector.<DynamicStreamingItem>(
[ new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 768x428_24.0fps_408kbps.mp4", 408, 768, 428)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 768x428_24.0fps_608kbps.mp4", 608, 768, 428)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 1024x522_24.0fps_908kbps.mp4", 908, 1024, 522)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 1024x522_24.0fps_1308kbps.mp4", 1308, 1024, 522)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 1280x720_24.0fps_1708kbps.mp4", 1708, 1280, 720)
However this set of assets do not work:
_dynamicStreamingResource = new DynamicStreamingResource("rtmp://flashstream.adobe.com/ondemand");
_dynamicStreamingResource.streamItems = Vector.<DynamicStreamingItem>(
[ new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:flash/m/mv1/acom/connectnow/flvs/acom014_854x480.flv", 408, 854, 480)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:flash/m/mv2/acom/connectnow/flvs/acom014_854x480.flv", 608, 854, 480)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:flash/m/mv3/acom/connectnow/flvs/acom014_854x480.flv", 908, 854, 480)
I've confirmed that each asset individually plays as desired, which they do.
Additionally, I have noticed that the buffer grows at an awkward rate - it jumps to about 10 seconds, stutters back and forth between 15 and 20, then stalls, and eventually jumps to 40 seconds, at which point the playhead, around 20 seconds, stalls and I receive the Playback failed error. This happens 100% of the time.
Any thoughts as to why the second set is problematic?
Thanks!

I'm getting "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" when I try to play your first stream so I'm not able to investigate this. Here are some things to look at:
The bitrate you give to DynamicStreamingItem is very important. It must be accurate with regard to the encode. The switching rules use this value to throttle the connection between client and server to keep the buffer from growing too large. Make sure your encodes are CBR and not VBR (variable bitrate). Make sure all encodes have the same keyframe interval. Make sure you set your buffer to 8 seconds initially to get this working. You can adjust if you wish.
Also, turn logging on and start digging through the logs. Determine which stream playback is failing on. The next thing I would try is put the bitrate in the stream name and put them in the same location on the server rather than different paths for each bitrate.
Thanks,

"playback failed" for all podcasts using ios7

I just updated to IOS 7 and when I try to play a podcast that I am subscribed to, I get "playback failed" for all podcasts. The odd thing is that if I am connected via wifi, it seems to work fine. If wifi is not there, I get that error.
I cannot seem to find a setting anywhere that gets around this.
Help!

The photoshop library operation failed because quicktime is not installed on this computer

I'm getting this when importing a Photoshop Timeline Animation into After Effects.
"The photoshop library operation failed because quicktime is not installed on this computer"
I have all updates to date.
Any clues?

After Effects CC (12.x) does not import animation/video layers in PSD files. You should render and export your animation from Photoshop as a movie file and import that into After Effects.

Playback failed error itunes u

"Error - Playback failed". I get this error on my iPhone 4s in iTunes u. The phone software is up to date and I have deleted and reinstalled the iTunes app. The courses are listed on my phone, but they will not playback. I have connectivity to the Internet and can reach the Apple Store. These same courses will play back on my old iPod.
I have read the discussions, but there seems to be no answer.

Adobe encoder adobe player "Playback Failed..."

hi,
downloaded AFMLE a week or so ago.
i have a logitech web-cam that i use for skype, etc.
thought I'd give it a try.
recorded some audio & video thru the web-cam
AFMLE create an FLV file; tried to open it in Adobe Media Player (1.6)
and I get the error: "Playback Failed... there was an error... some errors
can be fixed by clicking the back button, blah, blah, blah..."
the file format is "f4v" ... I can't open it with Adobe Flash CS3.
if anyone has a clue what's up, please drop me a line!

Before playing F4v files created by FMLE in adobe media player or CS3, you need to process them using F4v post processor tool - https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fms35
Whereas, Flv files should play directly without any processing.

Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8% before this happens any idea how to fix I have a movie deadline to meet!

Hi all,
Finished editing a short movie.
Then went to share on vimeo but got this message - see also screenshot when I tried to export to desktop.
Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8%.
Have tried deleting my render files for the project and also another fix mentioned of deleting any black space files on the edit itself but neither work?
Just upgraded to OS Mavericks could this be causing it? If so how to downgrade?
thanks
Louis B

Thanks for your help both, I called Apple tech support and spoke to a really helpful chap called Andrea who helped me out. Now got my Master file sorted and am trying Vimeo upload again.
Just to clarify points for people out there with the same issue:
First steps
- Ensure background rendering is turned off in preferences
- Delete project and events render files
- If upgraded to Mavericks then go to FCPX in finder under applications hit buttons 'CMD' and 'I' together and tick the 'prevent App Nap' box.
Next Steps
I had already done all of this when Apple Tech spoke to me so we discussed the message 'Quicktime -50' and what it meant. It wasnt a purely generic error message but was not detailed enough to point to one specific issue. This problem had occurred in previous years (so Mavericks not wholly to blame) and patches were issued over the years by Apple to help resolve some of the problems.
The message essentially is indicating that there is a problem somewhere with the media in some way shape or form.
My export went to 8% then failed. Apple's answer was that the project settings were corrupted in some way.
So what they suggested (so simple I could kick myself) was to select all the media files by 'CMD + A' then copy them 'CMD + C' then create and open a new project timeline, and then paste in 'CMD + V'.
Then we tried export again this time to a master file with some settings detailed by Apple.
The difference now was it got to 40% then failed but due to a different reason 'error -1 frame 10124 error'
At last we get past the project issues and into the event media issues, it seems that when I loaded the compact flash last night, the iMac kept ejecting the reader so had to copy files over quickly and seems that some of the file clip I used although showed on the viewer, didn't seem to have loaded all the correct media, so selecting this clip frame 10124 on the viewer I found that it showed as red on the frame row which implied an issue. So I simply bladed it off and deleted it.
Then I reran the export to Master file and it worked, though jumping from 40% to 100% complete was a shock to me!
Now am trying the export to Vimeo - hope this helps some of you out there. Worst case pick up the phone to Apple and speak to the Final Cut Pro guys they can help.
best wishes,
Louis B

I went to IO 7 and Getting Error "Playback Failed" on every podcast

I was able to listen to podcast when I first updated. It now fails with Error "Playback Failed" on every podcast. I also see that the facebook app is never updating. I powered off the Iphone 4 and powered on. I did the same on my IMAC and try resyncing. I still get the same error.

The problem is in the Yahoo mail server farm. Their mail servers are terrible. Give it time. It will eventually straighten itself out. In the mean time, create an account a gmail account, outlook.com account, etc. and consider switching.
