Airplay no longer plays video (only audio)

All was well for the last few months between airplay and my Ipad 2 until this morning when all of a sudden I annot stream video from any app between my Ipad 2 and Apple TV. I have noted a few other users having the same problem in the last few hours. I have tried resetting the Apple TV and no luck.

As Airplay works with your local network and there haven't been any recent updates that could affect Airplay, reports of others having similar issues are likely coincidental. In addition to your Apple TV try restarting the iPad and your router.

Airplay no longer plays video just audio on most apps

Hello all,
I have a 3rd gen ipad and a 3rd gen aptv. I have had them both for about 2 months and have enjoyed streaming the nbc, abc, safari and netflix apps to the aptv from the ipad using airplay(not mirror mode). Yesterday i was gettingd ready to do the same and the video would not show up just the audio on the aptv. The video was playing fine on the ipad. I was able to get it to work in mirror mode but i hate using that mode as it worked full screen before and nothing has changed. No app updates, no ipad updates and not aptv updates. I have already contacted apple support and they had me do a bunch of troubleshooting steps and to no avail. I have checked my router and restarted it, restored both the aptv and the ipad and nothing is working. Anyone ever had this problem or do I have a defective product along the line? Any help would be great. Thanks

QuickTime stand alone not playing video, only audio

Am running QuickTime stand alone on my PC with Windows XP Home 2002. For some reason the .mov files that were created with my digital camera will not play video (only audio) on this computer. The files seem to play fine on other computers. Have also found out that I can play downloand or streamed videos (only audio).
Can't figure out why video won't play. Other video formats (.avi for example) play fine through Windows Player.
Any insight? . . . anyone?

Apple tv won't display video when I try to use airplay to display amazon videos, only audio.

It will display an icon showing now playing, but only as an audio. I can listen to The Magnificent Seven but not watch it. I have tried to use airplay on my iphone, ipad and fire tablet all with the same results. The only change in the system is a new router. It is a netgear router and the apple tv is plugged dirrectly into it. I think that is my problem but am unsure why I see an icon, hear audio, but get not video. I've checked the settings on the apple tv and it is updated. Is it the settings on my router that's causing the problem?

Hello! I don't have personal experience with Amazon videos, but I do know that a lot of content has DRM embedded in it that prevents streaming like this from working. Often you'll see checkerboard.

Adobe reader XI no longer plays video or audio embedded in PDF created with Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Help please!
Embedded video and audio content in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat X Pro does NOT play on some school computers after Acrobat Reader XI is installed. The media content played fine with Acrobat X. This is seen with both XP and Windows 7 machines.
Bizarrely, other machines with Windows 7 and XP play the video and audio content fine when Acrobat XI is installed.
Please help, as the PDFs are the delivery mechanism for a very effective literacy programme for children, and this bug has halted delivery for a considerable number of schools and thousands of children are in trouble!

Hi Raman,
I think we have found the source of the problem. It relates to how different browsers are detected by Adobe when updating Flash Player.
To make the videos play within PDFs either from DVD or on the hard drive, it is now essential that Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin (now version 11.5.502.113) is installed. (Adobe Reader 10 had its own internal flash player, so an external player was not needed)
We have discovered that, when Google Chrome is the browser, automatic updates of Flash do NOT download this programme. Flash 11 ActiveX is the only programme that is downloaded, and the videos do NOT play from DVD or harddrive.
Also, it is not possible to manually download Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin as this option is not presented to the user. Presumably Adobe have set it up this way, because the Adobe site recognises Chrome is being used, and assumes that the computer does not need the plugin flash player, as Chrome has its own internal flash player. However, other programmes may need it!
We went to FileHippo to download the non-IE version (even though we were using Chrome!) at
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
Then the videos played from DVD or harddrive.
I have not been able to test how this works with other browsers. I hope that Adobe can sort this problem out asap!

Buffy

Quicktime 10 will not play video, only audio

Hi -
I cannot get my .mov files (with codec that is DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Integer (Little Endian)) to play video in Quicktime 10... it will only play audio. That said, my .avi files from my digital camera play fine. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Since I am paying extra for HBO you would think that HBO wouldn't care if I watched HBO To Go on my TV using Apple TV. What is the difference to them if I am watching on my phone, iPad, computer, or my TV. If this app did start working on Apple TV, then HBO might get more people to shell out the $15 for HBO. Maybe we should figure out who we can talk to at Apple? If this app starts working on Apple TV you would think more people would throw down the $99 for Apple TV.
it has nothing to do with apple.
the developers of the app and owners of the rights of the content are the only ones who can make it happen.

Timeline won't play video, only audio

I just switched computers recently (windows 7 to Windows 7) and when I re-installed Premiere CS5.5 on my new computer the video in the timeline wouldn't play.
The timeline video box just shows a media offline graphic even after all the media was reconnected.
When I press play, the playhead moves, but it will only play the audio and only shows the media offline graphic for the video. I tested a few of the clips to see if they'd play in the source monitor, and all of them played fine. It's just the timeline video window that won't play.
It started working yesterday for some reason I don't know, but when I reopened the program it was back to the same problem.
I've looked at a ton of posts, but none of them seem to have this same problem.

There are 2 main types of video in the project I'm editing: h.264 (MOV) from a Canon T3i DSLR, and MPEG-2 from an HDV Camcorder. None of the videos will play video in the timeline monitor, but the playhead moves and the audio plays (the video just shows a media offline graphic, although all the media is connected). All videos will play in the source monitor regardless of codec. This leads me to believe that codec issues are not the problem.
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 620
Graphics Driver Version: 9.18.13.3788
I have updated to the latest nvidia driver in the past week. There was another thread similar to my problem (http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/205/874787) where the guy figured out it was because he had 2 graphics cards, and that his timeline monitor was running off the wrong one. However, his description of what he did to fix it was not very clear, or at least not for my amount of knowledge.
There was another thread where someone said to downgrade to an older driver, and that didn't work either. here's a
screenshot of what it looks like when I play a video in the timeline:

ITunes treats video's as audio files, won't play video only audio

Hi,
I have the latest iTunes version & the latest OS X lion updates. Late 2009 27" iMac, intel core duo 2, 3.06 ghz. Forgive me if this comes across as rude, I'm used to being able to find my own solution to problems, and this has been frustrating me on and off for years. For as long as iTunes has had music video's and air play available I have the problem of my music videos, movies or video files of any type (all purchased for iTunes store) will only play the audio, no video. The old work around was to disable 'look for remote speakers' and then the video's would play fine (i googled it again to make sure there wasn't a newer work around). However that is not an option now, as iTunes automatically looks for airtunes speakers. The only work around I have found is to disable my network connection in system preferences, then go to iTunes, tell it to try and connect to the remote speakers. Once it fails to find the speakers, all video files work perfectly. Once the network is re-enabled its a 50-50 shot that the fix will work for a while before the problem returns. I have had this problem in pretty much every version of iTunes sense they released music videos. It's not a constant problem either, sometimes videos play fine, most of the time they don't without the workaround. (the problem was present in Snow leopard, leopard and I want to say Tiger, but its hard to remember about Tiger.) I have submitted this problem in the 'submit feedback for iTunes' several times and nothing. I am hoping one of you smart people out there might have an idea for a permanent fix. I wanted to send an email to apple support, but they say I must purchase support because my hardware is 'out of warranty' even though its a software problem, so they are no help. Any help or suggestions you may have are extremely appreciated.
Thank you,

Anyone have any suggestions?

Atv2 wont play video only audio from my ipad2

my apple tv will only play audio from my i pad2, i have the icon and select apple tv, the sound transfers but the video remains on my i pad2.
it used to work,
hope someone can help cheers

Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please leave details in the comments at the bottom of the User Tip or email me if you don't have commenting privileges.

ITunes after 10.8.3 combo update doesn't play video, only audio with a black screen

My iTunes has been randomly playing really old QuickTime files as I've had iTunes start in 32 bit mode. That worked for a while, but like I said, it has stopped working and iTunes is back to not playing older QT movie files. Fine.
Now, however, iTunes didn't play a PROTECTED file that I purchased from the iTunes store. I made sure my computer was authorized to play the file, the store said my computer was already authorized. iTunes plays the AUDIO of the selected video, but only shows a black window where the video should be playing. It did this for several videos. I was confused.
I restarted my computer and now iTunes is playing the file as it should. It is not however playing my MPG QuickTime movie files that it has played for years.
What is going on with the software? I've followed the threads telling me to remove Perian, remove, Filp4Mac, restart, run in 32-bit mode, etc and nothing is now working when those solutions worked just last week.
Any input about what I should try next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Chad

Quicktime not play video only Audio with Lion

I am trying to watch avi file through Quicktime the I only get audio and no video after Lion installed.
I downloaded Perian again
Whats the problem?

There seems to be an issue with the version of Quicktime X (10.1) in Lion and Perian version 1.2.3.
The are several options in terms of other media players (VLC, MPlayerX, RealPlayer [ugh…], and others…) that will handle FLV files with ease. Alternatively, you could run your video files through an encoder (HandBrake, MPEG Streamclip, SmartConverter, etc.) converting the files into something QuickTime naturally understands like an MP4 or MOV.
But, you were probably happy when everything just worked with the QuickTime / Perian dynamic duo and just want it the way it was. It seems the best way to make this happen, is to go back to using Perian 1.2.2, for the moment anyway. Seems to do the trick for anyone with this problem, so…
1. Remove Perian 1.2.3 from the system.
Quit all your apps, expecially QuickTime. Open System Preferences and click on Perian. You're looking for the "Remove Perian" button; just click and if it asks, type your password. Next, back to the main System Preferences screen where you right-click(or control-click) on the Perian icon. A menu pops up with the choice to remove the Preference Pane. Click on it and Perian is officially uninstalled.
2. Restart the computer
Probably overkill, but better than having to repeat the process because you didn't.
3. Download and install Perian 1.2.2
Get it here: http://perian.cachefly.net/Perian_1.2.2.dmg , or here:http://www.videohelp.com/download/Perian_1.2.2.dmg
Once its downloaded mount the disk image, but proceed with care. Perian will likley try to upgrade itself right after you install it. Best thing to do: disconnect from the net for the install process. Then as usual double-click the "Perian.prefpane" file, choose who you'd like to install it for, and enter your password as needed. Finally, right before reconnecting your machine to the world, uncheck the "Automatically Update" box in the Perian preferences.
Try testing one of the FLVs in QuickTime or QuickLook and with a bit of luck, radio becomes TV.
Oh… and on the off chance it doesn't work and you want to watch some FLVs? Use VLC (http://www.videolan.org), or convert them with HandBrake (http://handbrake.fr).
Good luck!

I can no longer play videos on my Mac mini.

I got a new magic mouse for Christmas. I connected it to my Mac mini Lion. It works great but I can no
longer play videos like from YouTube. I just see a black screen. Even the start triangle does not show up.
This is date coincident with installing the new mouse.
Does anybody have a clue what is going on here?
Thanks in advance.

The Magic Mouse and YouTube videos don't have anything to do with each other. I switch between my Magic Mouse and my track pad all day, and it has no effect on YouTube.
YouTube playback is browser and Flash Player related.
Check your Safari Security preferences to be sure that Plugins are allowed.
Worst case, do a "clean Install" of Flash Player. Instructions (with illustrations) are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084
