2 Hour Limit When Streaming

3 months ago, I posted about fact that new MBA was giving me about 2 hours of battery power when streaming, such as watching NetFlix. 88King suggested adding Flash 10.2 beta, and did so. He also pointed out that streaming with MS Silverlight was a power-hog. I now watch with Activity Monitor on, and working on wifi online capacity is excellent.
But basic problem persist when streaming. Tried to watch a 2nd film other night, but at about 2 hours, battery drained.
Is this just to limit when streaming?

You might consider trying to plug it in as much as possible when streaming. There are also external battery packs if stuck without an outlet. The air adapter works pretty well though for long flights.
I'm totally with you and your feelings on this

  • Event library 1 hour limit on video when imported videos are longer

    In my event library, none of my events are more than 1 hour in length, and the video after the 1 hour mark is unavailable. When I import the event it says "87 minutes imported" or however long the clip is, yet only the first hour can be viewed, added to project etc. They are not all exactly 1 hour, some are 58 or 59 minutes, and the longest is 1:00:54 long. It is frustrating because I'm trying to import football games to make highlights, so I'm missing a lot of matches. Why is this happening/how can I access the footage in each event after the 1 hour mark? Please help me!

    Rodrigo,
    We seem to be able to "stream" (progressively download) videos over 35 minutes on PCs, but not on Macs. Without more input from Apple, we don't really have any clue as to what is responsible for this problem. We had considered breaking the files into several parts to take advantage of the streaming capability, but we have decided to just have our students download the entire files if need be, since the only users affected are Mac users.
    I'm just now testing to see if there is a duration limit on streaming files over the PC. After a little playing around, I think there might be a limit to the PC's streaming capabilities as well. I'll update this thread with any discoveries.
    But from what I can see, you should be able to stream files over the PC. How much bandwidth does your school have?

  • Podcast when streamed on iTunes stops short of end by 1 minute

    First podcast.  Submitted and approved in less than 24 hours - yea!  Downloads great - no issues.  But when streamed on iTunes, it stops just short of the end.
    Also, duration of the podcast is about 55 minutes.  It's listed on iTunes as 1 minute, 44 seconds.
    I've looked through support and don't see an avenue to ask for this type of help.

    I've found the error and changed it on the RSS feed file.  Should I resubmit the RSS feed to iTunes with the changes?  I found something on iTunes support that appears to say to do this.  Says if I screwed it up and submitted an incorrect feed, iTunes will ignore the bad file and continue to show the old feed.

  • Protect / limit the stream to display on my own site only?

    Hi :-)
    Is there any way I can protect the displaying of the stream from being used (displayed) on a foreign homepage?
    I would be great if I could limit the stream only to be shown on my on server / domain / IP address.
    Perhaps there is some kind of logic in the streaming server where a IP address (or domain) can be defined that is allowed to show the stream?
    Can this be done so no one can "steal" my stream and display it on their own site?

    Hi Nitin Goel
    Thank you very much. I tried it and was denied access from other domains than what I defined in the allow tag. So it worked on the domain level...
    BUT ... I could still see the stream when saving the html file (from a allowed domain) on my desktop and displaying it there.
    I need to deny the displaying from desktops too. How to do this?
    I will look into the access / auth plugin option. Do you have a good PHP example?

  • HT1657 How long does the rented movie have to play before the 24 hour limit starts?

    I hit play on my rental before I was ready to watch. How far into the movie before the 24 hour limit starts?

    As far as I know the clock starts immediately you start playing it. You should be able to see how long you have left - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    On your device, the time remaining for you to finish watching the movie appears near the movie title.
    I assume that you are in the US ? In other countries you have 48 hours from when you start watching it, not 24

  • When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

  • How to eliminate subtitles when streaming Netflix through Apple TV?

    When streaming movies from Netflix through Apple TV, sub-titles appeared and we canot find a menu or symbol to click to eliminate the sub titles.  They carry over to our next item.  How can I eliminate the sub titles. (This is only a problem with Apple TV.  Able to eliminate them on computer or I Pad.

    Push and hold the menu button while the content is playing.  It will bring up a menu for captioning if the content has an option to chang it.

  • When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

    When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

    No problem.
    This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
    You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

  • Itunes freezes when streaming music to airport express and to loewe air speaker at the same time?

    Hi,
    (first post )
    I was recently offered a Loewe Airspeaker. I already had an Airport Express connected to a hi-fi system.
    The Airport Express + hi-fi is in the living-room and the Loewe Airspeaker is in our bedroom.
    Both are connected to my network via wifi.
    I was trying to stream music from my iMac to both the Airport Express and the Loewe Airspeaker.
    When doing this, I am able to get the same tune on both devices, but iTunes systematically freezes
    =>music continues to be streamed but interface on the iMac gets the endless multicolor wheel !
    Has anyone seen anything similar before, for ex. is there a similar issue when streaming music to 2 different Airport Express?
    Any idea on where this is coming from?
    Any idea on how to prevent this?
    Thx in advance
    Rodolphe
    A few precisions on the configuration:
    the iTunes library and corresponding music are located on a Mac Mini configured as a media server.
    The iMac connects to the mac mini via wifi (shared folder). Home network is organized via an Airport Extreme.
    Both computers run Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion and are up to date.

    Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
    One explanation I see:
    my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
    So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
    Anyone's got anything to add?

  • Bit of a strange one.... HD Movies "Judder" when streaming to ATV2

    Bit of a strange one.... all my HD Movies since the latest ATV2 update "Judder" when streaming.
    It's very hard to describe but whenever there is a fast Zoom or Pan shot the image flickers for around half a second. It seems to happen every 20 seconds or so, this has only been the case since the latest update of ATV2.
    I purchased Tron Legacy (HD) from the iTunes store and it occurs when playing that movie. It also happens on all my self generated HD contect.
    Strangely it does not occur when streaming to my 1st Gen Apple TV, which makes me think it has nothing to do with my Home Network setup, as they are both connected via Ethernet cables.
    There is only a problem with HD Streaming and ATV2.
    Any assistance would be appriciated
    Hans

    The last update seems to have introduced a feature which lets the Apple TV detect the native frequency of your TV, in the UK this is probably but not always 50 Hz, this is beneficial for Home video and broadcast content in these locations where the frame rate is 25 fps. It isn't ideal for 30 fps or 24 fps content though which most of the iTMS movies and TV shows are.
    Also of relevance is that some TV's make a better job of telecine/detelecine than others due to the quality of their components.
    Although I don't necessarily think that Apple are responsible for the ability of 3rd party TV's, the problem could be easily overcome by allowing the user to manually select the Apple TV output as was the case with the Apple TV 1. This would allow the user to switch to 60 Hz for 30/24 fps content and 50 Hz for 25 fps content.
    Some TV's have motion settings which worsen/improve the situation depending on their settings.

  • Is there a Maximum file size limit when combining pdf files

    I am trying to combine files 8 PDF files created with i Explore using Acrobat XI Standard, the process is completed but when opening the file not all 8 individual files have been combined only the first two have been combined, the process shows all eight being read and combined.
    I can open and view each of the original 8 individual files and read the content without any issue, the largest of the eight files is 15,559kb and the smallest is 9,435kb
    if anyone can assist that would be most appreciated

    Hi Tayls450,
    This should not have happened as there is no maximum file size limit when combining PDFs.
    Please let me know if there are some password protected PDFs also?
    Also, I would suggest you to choose 'Repair Acrobat Installation' option from the Help menu.
