4.3 Scrubbing bug - movie stays in pause

I posted another post but titled it wrong so I wanted to re-post with the right title.
Upgraded to 4.3 and most (not all) of my movies stay in pause after scrubbing. They seem to play properly from the beginning but as soon as any scrubbing is done they pause and pressing play causes them to immediately pause again.
Details:
Device: iPhone 4
iOS: 4.3
Media: Movies - full length feature film
Source: Non iTunes download (ripped from original DVD)

Did some more work on this and it seems to be related to the resolution of the m4v file. If you rip the movie at the suggested resolution: 720x404 then this bug is evident. If you rip at a lower resolution: e.g. 480x320 then all is well.

  • Scrubbing bug?

    There's some kind of scrubbing bug in the iPod app on my iPhone 3G running iOS 4 that I've been noticing for the last couple of weeks (a co-worker just showed me what's probably the same bug on his iPhone 3GS also running iOS 4).
    When you scrub to some point in the running time of a song and then go next or previous to another song (or scrub all the way to the end of a song, causing the next song to start), it sometimes is incorrectly starting the song it plays next at the position the last song ended.
    For instance, assume the play order is Song A (3:40s), Song B (5:10s), Song C (1:20), and Song D (4:25). If I scrub Song A all the way to the end, sometimes Song B starts playing at 3:40 (i.e. 1:30 left). Conversely, if I scrub Song B all the way to its end, it sometimes briefly shows Song C, but because 5:10 is longer than 1:20, it immediately jumps next to Song D at 0:00, essentially skipping Song C altogether.
    As I said, this only happens sometimes, and only when I introduce scrubbing. If I just let the songs play naturally and uninterrupted, everything's fine.
    And it doesn't have to be from one song to the next like that either. I had a single podcast I was listening to, but didn't want to listen to anymore. In those cases, I generally scrub to the end of the podcast so it's fully marked as having played (helps with how I have my playlists and auto-syncing set up in iTunes). Let's say a day goes by and I've synced another new podcast to my iPhone. Sometimes when I start that new podcast for the first time, the playback position, all on its own, immediately jumps to the end of the podcast, marking it as played, and kicks me back to the podcast listing.
    Anyone else seeing this on their iPhones?

    I am seeing this too.
    I have this problem on my iPhone 3GS. It appeared to start when I upgraded to 4.2.1. I have noticed it most when listening to podcasts. If I am in the middle of a podcast, and scrub to the end. When the next track in my playlist starts, it will start in the middle of the next podcast. If I scrub when near the end of the podcast, the next podcast may skip entirely (it will momentarily appear, before moving onto the next track).
    Something seems to have gone wrong in the jump to 4.2.1.
    My podcasts are in a smart play list, and still includes the workaround to deal with a playlist bug in 3.x where the smart playlist was chronologically ordered on my mac, but would appear in a random order on my iphone. The work around was to include "is not music" as one of the conditions in the smart playlist.

  • IPod stays on Pause ... Lower Battery Life?

    Hey, We have an iPhone 3G and were wondering about the iPod part.
    When we stop the music from playing we pause the song and navigate to the homepage. I notice though, whenever I pull out / put in my headphones the iPod feature opens and plays my last song. Or whenever we click iPod it plays my last song. Is the song thats staying on pause lowering my battery life? Or no?

    Bump!
    has anyone had this prob? Please help me. Or where can I call or send it to and have it fixed.

  • 4/30/2011.  Can you please help me.  I have an iBook G4 with Leopard OS 10.5. Yet how do I correct Website movies going flow-pause-flow-pause-flow etc?  Chuck Y Chicago

    4/30/2011.  Can you please help me.  I have an iBook G4 with Leopard OS 10.5 and latest Safari updates and maximum Ram (512 or 640 kb).  Yet how do I correct Website movies going flow-pause-flow-pause-flow etc?  The problem is with the iBook, not the website and movies.  Thank you.  Chuck Y Chicago

    5/2/2011.  Thank you all for your replies.  My iBook is in the third group of the website you referred me to.  I bought it July 5, 2004 at CDW near here.  It had OS 10.3.6.  1GB (GHz.  Power PC G4.), opaque white case. Its screen is 14.1 inches.  Soon after I bought it I had its 128 RAM raised to 640 RAM, to work with maximum capability for converting VCR recorded videos/movie into digital files and burning these onto DVDs.  Later I had an Airport card installed.  As time passed I opened the apple icon (upper left hand corner of the screen), and Softwate Update, and eventually had this install OS 10.5.8.  At first It could only be updated to OS 10.4.  But then after several years I bought Leopard OS 10.5.8 from the Apple store near here.  By then Leopard had been adapted to work on iBook G4.  Its specifications are described with the same Apple icon and About this Mac. 
    It will play You Tube and similar websites OK.  But videos/movies from websites such as hulu.com, ABC, CBS and so on, it displays a pattern of flow-pause-flow-pause-flow-pause-flow and so on.
    I thought first to see if this forum would have any suggestions.
    I think probably that its CPU has reached its limit; later Mac laptops have greater CPUs.
    Many thanks to you all.   C Yopst   Chicago

    Hi Peggs,
    Try this:
    Open your iBooks app on your iPad
    Select the Store Button at the top
    Select Purchased at the bottom
    You will see your AppleID on the right at the bottom, then Redeem, then Support
    Click on your Apple ID, and when the AppleID window comes up with the options, Sign Out
    Then Sign In again and try redownloading your book
    Hope this helps!

  • My movie keeps on pausing every 30 seconds

    My movie keeps on pausing every 30 seconds on my 32GB iPod Touch even though i am not doing anything. the movie is Harry Potter 7 Part 2

    Try reseting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Does it play OK in iTunes on the computer?

  • Apple tv movie rental keeps pausing as if buffering every few seconds, started over and now says to lower the video res, what is up

    apple tv movie rental keeps pausing as if buffering every few seconds, started over and now says to lower the video res, what is up

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

  • HD Movie Rentals keep pausing

    Hello All,
    I just got Apple TV and decided to rent a movie for my kids.  The movie appeared to download very rapidly.  We got a message that said it would be available in 50 minutes but then it showed we could start playing it about a minute after we got that initial message.  When we started playing the movie, it kept pausing every couple of minutes.  It made it unwatchable.  Has anyone experienced this problem before?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Nik H

    The Apple TV calculates when the movie can start and guarantee uninterrupted playback, this of course depends on a fairly consistent Internet speed. If your Internet speed fluctuates you may see the behaviour you have noticed and you may wish to wait a while before actually starting the movie.

  • I rented a movie from the iTunes app....how long will this movie stay on my iPad?

    I have had my iPad for a couple of years but just now rented a movie for a flight I will be on....how long will the movie stay on my iPad....can you watch it more than once?  Also any awesome games out there to download that will not take wifi or data to play them?   Thanks!

    The unwatched rental will stay on the device for 30 days. If you are in the U.S. once you start watching the movie you have 24 hours to watch it as many times as you like, and you have 48 hours in other countries. Bear in mind that if you even start the movies for just two or three seconds and stop it, that starts the timer for the 24 hour or 48 hour time period, so don't start that timers until you are ready to watch the movie.
    I'm not a real big gamer anymore , so I can't help you there.

  • Movie rental keeps pausing

    Movie (rental) keeps pausing very frustrating...viewed one last week it was fine.

    Hey rossfromwarren,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you were experiencing an issue with an iTunes Movie Rental. Due to the time limits associated with rentals, you may wish to report a problem with your purchase if the issue was not resolved before expiration:
    Report an problem with an item you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store - Apple Support

  • Dropped in photos to move/stay with the text?

    Hello all,
    I'm writing up a long document detailing certain events, and I'm placing photos from my iPhoto library in it as I go. However, I'm also going back to the beginning and adding things on there. Whenever I do that, my photos stay but the text moves further and further on, thus my photos get "delinked" per-se. Is there a way I can gang the photos to the text? Maybe making the text an object? I'm a Final Cut guy, so I'm hoping that some of you are Pages people.
    Thank you,
    -Brian

    Brian,
    With the Wrap Inspector open, select one of your photos. Is it Inline or Floating? To lock your photos to the text so that the photos stay with the text as you add text above, you want your photo objects to be set to Inline. Inline objects have limited position options, whereas Floating objects can be set virtually anywhere you like but they aren't locked to the text.

  • Bug: "Move to" in email application doesn't work if activated before message fully loads

    I've hit this many times when going through email. If you click on a message in the email application, then go to "Move to folder" in the top-left menu before the message finishes loading, the list of folders in the move dialog will be completely blank. The only way to get it to work is to wait until after the message loads or to navigate back and then do it again after letting the message load.
    I hit this a lot for my Gmail account as I use this feature a lot to archive and categorize mails that I don't need to read the contents of to Gmail labels.
    Known bug? Going to be fixed?
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    The reason why it does this is that the email is apart of the application. This is why you cannot move the email till it loads. If you feel this needs to be improved I would suggest that you leave us feedback at www.palm.com/feedback 

  • Can't Scrub QT Movies in Cover Flow/Preview?

    Anyone know how to scrub a QT movie in Cover Flow and the preview in Column View? I see a play button that turns into a stop button. Is this 1980?
    BTW, I don't have a clue why Apple doesn't put the QT controls under each QT movie in Icon View. This would be very useful.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Spacesuiter! Although I did not post this question, you have solved another problem that has been vexing my web site. My embedded movies would sometimes (tho not consistently) display only the playbar (no video) centered in the embed area like this. I just dumped the plugin you mentioned and it has solved the problem! Too bad Apple has not addressed this.

  • In QuickTime 10 is there a way to hide the movie controls when paused?

    Is there anyway to hide the movie controls in quicktime when pausing movies? It's quite irritating when trying to analyse video, especially when resolution is low, and can't move the controls out of the video window to see whole picture. There should be a way to move them outside the movie window?

    Click the mouse while it is over the player window. The onscreen controls and title bar will disappear.

  • Scrubbing FLV Movies - Performance?

    Hi there Folks,
    I am currently using the FLVPlayback, seekBar component to
    scrub external FLV files. However I am finding the performance when
    dragging the seekHandle is poor. i.e. If I drag the seekHandle at a
    resonable speed, the movie seems to take a second or half second to
    update on screen. This gives a very disjointed feedback/user
    interaction which does not feel smooth when using.
    My FLV files are fairly small, average a few meg, ranging
    from 50 frames to 200, or 5 to 20 seconds.
    Is this a keyframe issue with my FLV's? If so what is the
    best settings when exporting FLV's of this size for use when
    scrubbing?
    All help is always greatly appreciated, Cheers Folks.

    I'll normally put a keyframe every 15 frames to get decent
    scrub
    performance...less is better, but then filesize goes up. 15
    works pretty
    good, IMO.
