ACNS 5.5 / Troubleshooting bad quality VIDEO (MMS-over-http)

Hello community,
For an unexplanable reason I have to deal with an ACNS problem which is not my domain at all ! ACNS 5.5.15 is on a WAE-512-K9 working with CDM.
Please can someone advice me on how to start the basic troubleshooting steps on the following issue :
============================
- Users in Sydney are complaining of bad quality when they watch a video from an Intranet server in Frankfurt.
Video flow has bad quality (buffering ..) and/or stops before the end of the video.
- Users browsers are configured to use the WAE as local proxy on ports 3129 (.pac file). Requested Video on the intranet is in the Windows Media format and flows are MMS-over-http.
- No multicast distribution is used, neither content pre-positioning.
============================
We did a wireshark trace on the user PC watching a video which ends up unexpectidely with error code 500 => We follow the TCP stream, Time/Sequence graph is linear until ACNS sent [PSH,ACK] tcp flags to the user PC. Then PC answers with [FIN, ACK] etc...and the stream ends.
I have checked the show-tech (i have attached some commands from the sh tech)  especially TCP statistics but I do not if the values are normal or not.
I am thinkink to open a TAC case but before contacting Cisco I prefer to try some basic tests if they can help.
Any recommendation on how to start a troubleshoot or any advice would be gretly appreciated.
Thanks.
Karim

Hi Defcom,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried changing and resetting the bandwidth limits at both ends last week at both ends but no joy!
I am going to try the solution on the Gerry's link above later but have to wait for my brother to be free as he has an airport as well(had a baby yesterday (hence why we are setting this up)).

  • Will ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G?

    Will there be improved video quality on youtube and other video streaming on 4G compared to existing 3G connctions?  The ipad appears to dumb down video streaming in 3G compared to streaming the same thing on wifi.  It is often highly pixelated and blocky,   Will the new ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G, i.e. the same quality as wi-fi?

    The YouTube app is made by Google. Any suggestions you have about that app should be directed to them.

  • Video import from AE to PP blurry and bad quality video.

    Hi all, Im having a weird problem with AE cs6 and Premiere pro cs6. Whenever i import an AE to Premiere Pro, the quality becomes bad and blurry. When the project is rendered from AE to a video project (like QT) the quality is great. The videos I am working with are all HD and all my projects are using the size 720x480, so its not an issue of making the video bigger than what it is and thats the reason why it looks so bad. when i start a new project, i just click ok and go with the standard project settings. All videos that i just directly add into Premiere Pro look fine, only import AE projects look bad. Whats weird is when i double click an AE project i mported to premiere thats in the "project" tab, it opens in the "source" tab which allows you to trim, etc the video before adding it to your project and thats normal, anyways when it is in the "source" tab it is in its normal good quality but when i drag it to the sequence timeline in my project, thats when the quality goes down. So, what am i missing here? why would it be ok in the "source" tab but once added to the sequence it goes bad?

    If this were my project I would create a different comp for each name by simply duplicating the comps in the Project Panel then changing the name. I would remove the background video, duplicate the comps, change the names,  then render each title using the Render Cue or AME using the Lossless With Alpha preset. The rendered titles would be brought into PPro and added above appropriate shot in the sequence.
    If you have CC 2014 I would work differently. I would create a Text Template in AE for Premiere Pro. This is a much more efficient workflow. Here's how: How to create text templates in After Effects for Premiere Pro | Adobe After Effects CC tutorials

  • Bad Quality Video

    Hi, I frequently video chat with two users at the same time. I am in the US, another in Mexico and another in France. They both have macbooks with intel. I have a G4 with OS 10 and iChat 3. I recently changed ISP from Comcast to Bellsouth (Att DSL) and since I have noticed the lower video quality. Is the ISP change the reason, or can we make adjustments on our ends to get better quality? They both have cable providers. Thanks.

    Hi,
    All parties should go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab and set the speed to 1.5Mbps and restart ichat to see the new speed.
    This is particularly important in IChat 3/Tiger where the Automatic setting is read as a 0 (zero)

  • Troubleshooting for RPC over https (Outlook Anywhere) connection issue

    RPC over https (ROH), well known as Outlook Anywhere, is more frequently used. Even in Exchange 2013, Outlook no longer connects CAS server via MAPI.
    In this thread, we will discuss about the troubleshoot checklist about the RPC over https (Outlook Anywhere) connection issue. In order to make it more logical, I’d like to divide the whole troubleshooting to the following processes:
    1. Client side to CAS side
    2. CAS side to MBX side
    [Issues between Client side to CAS side]
    In Exchange 2013, Outlook Anywhere is enabled by default. Different from this, Outlook Anywhere in Exchange 2007 and 2010 need to be manually enabled. Thus, please firstly check if the RPC over HTTP component has been installed:
    Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    Double-click Programs and Features.
    In the left pane of Server Manager, click Features.
    In the right pane, click Add Features.
    Check if the RPC over HTTP component has been selected.
    If the ROH connectivity issue only happens on certain users, the property MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHTTP can be checked: 
    Get-CASMailbox  name | fl MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHttp
    2. Confirm if Exchange server is blocked. Ping the Exchange server FQDN on client machine and confirm if it can return the proper IP address.
    3. Check if the RPC Proxy server is responding correctly:
     rpcping -t ncacn_http -s ExchServer -o RpcProxy=RPCProxyServer -P "user,domain,*" -I "user,domain,*" -H 2 -u 10 -a connect -F 3 -v 3 -E -R none
    If 200 code returns, the test is successful.
    4. Check if Outlook Anywhere host names are added in the certificate:
    To get host names, the following command can be used: get-outlookanywhere |fl *hostname
    5. To use the Shell to test Outlook Anywhere connectivity, use the
    Test-OutlookConnectivity cmdlet.
    [Issues between CAS side to Mailbox side][RZ1] 
    A. Check if it can connect to store’s port:
    RpcPing –t ncacn_http –s ExchangeMBXServer -o RpcProxy=RpcProxyServer -P "user,domain,password" -I "user,domain,password" -H 1 –F 3 –a connect –u 10 –v 3 –e 6001
    If it returns as following: Completed 1 calls in 60 ms  16 T/S or 60.000 ms/T, it means the RPC Ping Utility test succeeds.
    B. Check if it can Connect to DsProxy Service:
    RpcPing –t ncacn_http –s ExchangeMBXServer -o RpcProxy=RpcProxyServer -P "user,domain,password" -I "user,domain,password" -H 2 –F 2 –a connect –u 10 –v 3 –e 6004
    If it returns as following: Completed 1 calls in 60 ms  16 T/S or 60.000 ms/T, it means the RPC Ping Utility test succeeds.
    C. Check the following registries:
    [Disable the auto update]
    1).Open Regedit and navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeServiceHost\RpcHttpConfigurator\RpcHttpConfigurator
    2).Set the PeriodicPollingMinutes value to 0.
    [Check the RpcProxy ValidPorts]
    1).On the RPC proxy server, start Registry Editor (Regedit).
    2). In the console tree, locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy
    3). In the details pane, right-click the ValidPorts subkey, and then click Modify.
    4). In Edit String, in the Value data box, type the following information:
    ExchangeServer :6001-6002; ExchangeServerFQDN :6001-6002; ExchangeServer :6004; ExchangeServerFQDN :6004
    Note:
    ExchangeServer is the NetBIOS name of your Exchange server. ExchangeServerFQDN is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your Exchange server. If the FQDN that is used to access the server from the Internet differs from the internal FQDN, you must use
    the internal FQDN.
    [Check the 6004 port settings in registry]
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeSA\Parameters
    Value name: HTTP Port
    Value type: REG_DWORD
    Value data: 0x1772 (Decimal 6002)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeSA\Parameters
    Value name: Rpc/HTTP NSPI Port
    Value type: REG_DWORD   
    Value data: 0x1774 (Decimal 6004)
    D. Check if the RPC ports are used by other applications instead of Exchange by using : netstat –o
     Then it will return all active TCP connections and the process ID (PID) for each connection.
     After that, please check the application based on the PID on the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager and confirm if it’s Exchange server.
    Additionally, ExRCA is a perfect tool to test the whole connection between client side and Mailbox side:
    https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/
    1. On the ExRCA website, under Microsoft Office Outlook Connectivity Tests, select Outlook connectivity, and then select Next at the bottom of the page.
    2. Enter the required information on the next screen, including email address, domain and user name, and password.
    3. Choose whether to use Autodiscover to detect server settings or to manually specify server settings.
    4. Accept the disclaimer, enter the verification code, and then select Verify.
    5. Select Perform Test.

    I've just restored the M11 to Windows XP with the disks provided and Outlook Anywhere connected without issue. As strange as it sounds, this looks to be isolated to this particular model of laptop and Windows 7.
    I've used the same Enterprise copy of Windows 7 and Office on a variety of laptops and pc's and none have come across this problem. The only commonality I can see is the hardware and OS.
    Aftery trying to troubleshoot this unsuccessfully with Microsoft tech support for a few hours, they eluded to the fact that this +could+ be a hardware related problem. (driver, adapter properties, etc)

  • Anybody transmit video over HTTP?

    use JMF to transmit video stream over HTTP but not RTP

    I'm trying to do just this at the moment, to try to implement a low bitrate videoconferencing application. It is possible. The people behind Microsoft Portrait did it successfully. Check out their white paper at http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigmm/MM2001/ep/li-demo/.
    But I don't have any idea how to do it. I'm not too good at networking stuff. Any help I can get?

  • IMessage: Video Message BAD Quality?

    Hey guys, I just updated my iPhone 4 with iOS 5. I've been looking forward to use iMessage because video message is my primary way of communicating with my girlfriend (no FaceTime over 3G). In iOS 4, I used a 3rd party App called Kakaotalk but it can only send 10 seconds of video message.
    So I tried sending a video message through iMessage and I can send it longer than 10 seconds, which is great, but the receiver gets a bad quality of the video. If you are the sender and you play the video on iMessage, the quality is the same as the Camera app though.
    Anybody have the same problem? If so, will Apple fix this?

    I had the same problem on my iPad v2 IOS 7. But it sorted itself after a hard reset (power and home button) followed by a soft rest ( just  power) . I lost all sound at this point. Then restarted again with a hard reset.
    Hope that fixes your iPad v2

  • Bad video quality on Atom over Internet, but not o...

    I have an Asus netbook with a 1.66GHz Atom, 1GB DDR3, and XP.  The video quality when in a call over the Internet is almost always bad, and Skype complains the computer is "slow".  There is no virus scanner or any other garbage running that sucks up resources.  I keep it lean.
    So I tried using a different computer to make the call; an 8 year old Sempron laptop, also with XP and 2.2GHz or close to that.  Video quality is great.  So it's obviously a computer performance issue, right? 
    It gets stranger.  I set up a video call between these two computers over my LAN (i.e. within the same house).  Video quality is great on both. 
    The results have been similar over a span of a year or more, calling people in different parts of the country, and even dropping Wifi and using a cable.  
    So what causes Skype to think the computer is slow when video calling over the Internet, but not when calling another computer on the same LAN?  I have a theory, but I'll hold that thought for right now.

    I have been using iChat exclusively over WiFi (Airport Extreme) from my iMac, and via Ethernet and WiFi from my Powerbook. I have not had any quality issues when connecting in this manner. Connections within my local network from WiFi to WiFi, as well as to outside connections over Broadband have all been of very good quality. Now if I can just get it all working again following the upgrade to Leopard 10.5.1.
    FYI: I have even used iChat AV on Tiger using DUN on my Treo650 (Sprint), which worked fine as well.

  • Video project saved to MPEG 4 has very bad quality

    I need instruction for saving in MPEG 4 because when I saved the project in MPEG 4 the quality is terrible what am i doing wrong? - I saved the same project in QuickTime and quality looked very good.

    I was just able to produce a good quality video, but when I made a small change and used the same settings, it turned out very bad. I have been messing with the settings but I cannot re-produce the same quality video I just created.
    The settings I did were H.264 MOV:
    Frame Rate - Current fps
    Key Frames - Every 24 with Frame Reordering checked
    Compressor - Quality at Best with Encoding as Best (Multi-pass)
    Data Rate - Automatic.
    I do not have a preview anymore. I did when it produced the good quality version, but now I do not get a preview. I used these EXACT settings and it produced great quality, but I simply cut out the last 1 second of the video and it produces crappy quality again. I even restarted FCE, used the same source (the MOV), made NO changes, and used these settings again but the quality is worse now.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 - Video Output (GPU) bad quality...

    Hi,
    I have a question about Adobe Premiere Pro CS6...
    I have installed the Trial-Version and use a BM Intensity Pro to output Full-HD 1080i (50, Interlace) trough HDMI Video-Output...
    The Video-Output works correctly, but if I enable the "GPU"-Acceleration (CUDA), and scale or transform a Video (for example a 3D-Transformation) the Quality of the transforming is very bad! (jerky, not "smooth", Interlace-Lines etc...)
    If I deactivate the GPU-Acceleration (Software only Mode), everything is smooth and looks good!
    Also if I render the Timeline, all tranformations are also smooth, only the Realtime GPU Rendering looks very bad....
    What can I do?

    Hi :-)
    I have tested it now with another Grafikcard!
    And it is exactly the same problem
    I have found out, that the GPU makes a delay, after a few seconds the Transformation looks smooth/bicubic!
    But on relatime-Playback its bad...
    My English isnt very good, so I have some problems to describe what I mean...
    If you stop the playback, it takes 2 Sekonds and then the image looks good!
    But dureing the playback its very bad quality, false Interlace-Lines etc...
    here are two screenshots:

    Am I the only one getting bad quality youtube videos when running on LTE? When I'm on wifi they seem fine but I switch to lte it looks bad on the youtube app and on safari.

    I've never had any problems with mine ever. The only freeze I've had was from a file I recorded on tivo, cut commericals out in movie maker and then re-encoded to the lowest possible bit rate that that zens nati've resolution supports. Try turning your sensitivity in the touch pad down. Sometimes if you have it up to high you may have a chance of doing that (although I have only had slow response, instead of a freeze by doing that).
    You also have to compare to all of the other products out there: Ipod and Zune are a lot worse with pathetic little problems (annoyances). I didn't pay for tech support?

  • Bad quality preview via HDMI

    Hello together!
    After searching for days in the www and on this board I hope somebody here knows a solution for this problem:
    Im looking for a quality solution to preview the program monitor as a full screen picture on my Panasonic HD-Ready TV. I got it running, but there is a really strange quality problem:
    When I just use the TV as a second Windows display and I move the program monitor onto it (no full screen but at 100% display level) the preview looks nice but I can not see the complete picture, because 1280x720 plus the program monitor itself is too big for my screen When I change the display size of the program monitor to something lower than 100% the scaling looks very bad higher than 100% no problem with scaling.
    So this is my problem:
    When I switch it in the playback settings to playback on extern monitor to view it full screen there is a problem. Diagonal lines get a bad looking aliasing. My idea was that CS3 is scaling something (and this does the program not as good as I tried the preview with trailversions of Edius5 or Vegas8c). Just at 100% CS3 preview looks nice (the same when I just watch the program monitor on the Notebook display).
    My Nvidia Card is set to HDMI 720p output. The TV says it is a 720p signal what is coming form my HDMI cable, and last but not least my footage is also filmed in 720p60 (Sony Ex1) and I used the 720p60 EX1 setting in CS3.
    So again, when I just watch these clips for example with the Sony clip browser on my TV (also form this Notebook via the same HDMI output) the diagonal lines start not to flicker and are displayed very sharp. So it cant be the graphic card, the TV or the footage at my knowledge.
    So why does CS3 scale there something in the full screen preview although from input to output everything is in 720p? Furthermore why is the scale in such a bad quality (Edius does this perfect so maybe I have just a wrong setting somewhere in my CS3 settings). Is CS3 not using the graphic card for scaling?
    My system:
    Asus V1S Notebook
    NVidia GeForce 8600M GT 512MB
    Duo T7500
    2GB Ram
    Windows Vista
    Hope somebody here is able to find a solution for this problem, because I dont want to buy an extra video board (like Axio) for it.
    Best wishes,
    Swen

    But often with these cards, you can not work in the CS3 normal nativ settings for Ex1 footage.
    At my knowldge when I would like to open a project which with a Blackmagic Card for example and I like to finish the editing on an other computer without that card you'll have a problem (because BM or other cards allway use their own presett window-right?). So you lose a lot of flexibilty by using a card or a third party codec like this. So it's not so future proof as just to work with the NLE Software itself.
    I see this now with my old Premiere 6.5 Projects. I used a Canopus Raptor RT2 for this with the Canopus codec. That worked very very well, but now I can't use this project anylonger on a new editing CS3 station, because it doens't support these Canopus transitions and codecs. Also the only Windows Notebook based output solution is the MotuV4 box... not a very cost effectiv solution for a preview.
    So again. There must be a sloution to get the problem with the diagonal lines fixed. Why does CS3 scale the preview when 720p footage should be displayed over a 720p output onto a 720p Monitor? No need for scaling? Or am I wrong with this?

  • Screen is slightly blurry / has bad quality

    I bought new Samsung 24" LCD monitor S24C300 and new video card Nvidia GT 630. Monitor is connected with DVI cable.
    Problem is that when I'm using native resolution 1920 x 1080, the screen is really small and I have to use the DPI setting thing to make screen bigger, but, when I apply the DPI settings, some programs come annoying blurry.
    At the resolution 1280 x 720 the screen is good size, but the text has slightly bad quality and is little blurry, so what to do?
    I have adjusted the monitors sharpness settings and I also have ClearType on, but that doesn't help.
    Could somebody help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!

    Please first install the latest drivers for video and moniotr.
    Some times a blurry screen can be caused by a poor cable, check with anothe if possible.
    You can also try other port to test this issue, like HDMI.
