Apple TV 3 video streaming stops --ALOT

Hi,
I have two apple TV 3s in two different locations. They worked fine up until about 3 weeks ago. Both or using ethernet connections, and both are on internet plans of 10mps + download and on unlimited plans.
Any video I stream from the US itunes store continually pauses. I never had a problem before This is also happening at my father-in-laws house and he using a different service provider for internet. I have tested internet speeds at all locations.
Can someone tell me what the **** is going on? Why all of the sudden three different apple tvs are not working the way they used to.
Thanks
daniel

This is a known issue I'm afraid. See the following thread for more info:-

On my ipad video streaming stops after a few seconds only sound is playing .what could be the reason.

on my ipad 2 video streaming stops after a few seconds, only sound is playing .what could be the reason and how to solve this problem.
I have a feeling that it may have started after upgrading to ios6.

Hi,
Is this failing with Error 20 ?
Sometimes in a the router or modem if you use Port Forwarding then you are your Buddy may be missing the Screen Sharing Port.
The Screen Sharing part uses a different port to the Audio port.
As the port for Audio (And therefore Video) are known and can be port Forwarded it is the random Screen Sharing port that can be the problem.
iChat 3 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507 that includes Bonjour and Jabber info
iChat 4 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2282
If you are not using (or your Buddy) UPnP then I would change the method of opening the port to that.

Apple TV freezes videos stream as soon as it goes fullscreen on youtube...

Hi,
My Apple TV used to work fine until yesterday, it suddenly started to freeze the video stream on airplay mirroring using youtube and other streaming sites (both on tv and on my devices, I've used 2 different Iphones and an Ipad and it's all the same).
None of the rebooting, resetting, Airplay on/off solution has worked. Also tried restarting all my devices, my router etc...
It's connected to the internet via an ethernet cable so no wifi issues either.
It airplays the device screens ok and I can see my own photos or videos just fine but when I go to youtube or other video streaming sites (which is pretty much the only reason I USE it !) I can browse and choose my videos but as soon as I play them it goes on fullscreen mode and starts to buffer endlessly. Then the message "cannot play content, try again later" pops up and quickly disappears.
As soon as I stop Airplay though, the video resumes on my devices...
I think this happened after the last update...not sure though
Any ideas?

So there could indeed be wifi issues then.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Recommended Wi-Fi settings
Sources of Interference
Wifi Diagnostic Software (for Mac users)
You may also find some help on this page, where I’ve collected some of the more unusual solutions to network issues.

All video streaming stops

All video streams (NBC, ABC, Netflix) stop playing and require a system reset to begin playing again. When one service's video stops, all stop until the reset. Everything else still works. This began about a week ago on our iPad 1. Ideas?

I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

Video streaming stops after partial download on apple tv

Hi. I've got wild blue internet, an HP Pavilion running iTunes in Windows XP, an airport extreme base station, apple tv, and a macbook. I've had the apple tv for about 7 months, connected over wireless. I've never been able to watch youtube videos. They partially load and start playing, but only go about half way and stop. They almost never fully load. I can watch the same video on the macbook over wireless, and it works just fine. I had assumed it was an apple tv problem, and hoped the new software update would fix it. It hasn't. Same situation, except now it's worse because I'd actually like to watch trailers and rent movies, but they still only partially load.
Content on the HP computer syncs properly with ATV. I can watch the movies and listen to the music just fine. It's only content that streams from the internet that messes up, and only with apple tv. I also wondered if the satellite internet was a problem, but if it is, it's only with apple tv. Youtube and movie trailers work fine on the macbook over wireless.
Any ideas?

Hello Winston,
I was initially just trying to watch ANY trailers. Virtually everything on ATV stalled after a minute or so. Switching to exclusively wireless n transmission from the AEBS seems to have fixed everything. We haven't tried to download movies, but probably won't since we're on satellite internet and have a fair access policy that limits our downloads to 17 gig a month. That's plenty for youtube and other normal usage, but I'm afraid too many movies would mess things up.
Wildblue has a configuration utility that we can set up on the computers, but nothing like that for ATV. I had thought that might be the problem originally, so I used a macbook (2.0 CD) that hadn't run the configuration setup, and it still worked fine for youtube stuff.
I didn't know things were streaming from different sources, when I was trying to watch the same video. Makes sense though. Thanks for the reply.

IPad video streaming stops half way on long videos

We have 2 iPads in this house and both choke on streaming long videos. I have a very fast internet connection with an Apple Airport Extreme and an Express bridged in, which gives me full bars everywhere in the house. I have no problem streaming video on any other device in the house. The problem with the iPad streaming is worse using the YouTube app built in. Here's an example of a long video that plays about half way and then you can see that the buffer stops building up and slowly the video that's been buffered is played and the device stops playing. It's as though there's a limit to the cache file on the iPad and beyond a certain size it stops taking on more. Please try playing this file all the way through and let me know if you can http://www.democracynow.org/ .

LOL — play that show all through its 59 minute length? Oh, I think not ...
The claimed speediness of the network isn't that significant. More useful would be to look and see what speeds you're actually getting, using any of the speed test apps.
Streaming performance on the iPad is also at least partially app-dependent. We routinely stream full-length movies over Netflix with few to zero problems. Next in order would be ABC leading Hulu+ by a neck, then YouTube a distant 4th.

Laggy Apple TV HD video streaming

Hi,
I'm having trouble streaming Super HD on Netflix via Apple TV (3rd generation). The problem also occurs watching HD video on youtube. There are moments when video is very laggy (especially in darker scenes and scenes with lots of green). Streaming via WiFi (5 bars strength) or Ethernet doesn't make a difference. I get over 15 Mbps with speedtests, the Timecapsule is very close to the ATV and SNR is 30+dB.
Setup;
Philips 46PFL8008
Apple TV (3rd generation)
Timecapsule 2TB
UTP 5e/brand new high end hdmi cable
Please help..

I received my Philips 55PFL8008 today, and seem to be experiencing some of the same issues. Haven´t tried streaming Netflix, but am experiencing minor lag every 5-10 seconds when streaming regular HD movies or series from Apple TV.
Key facts:
1. No issues with previous TV
2. No lag when watching regular HD TV through PVR receiver
3. Lag disappears when turning off all picture adjustments (but this is obviously not the quality I want)
4. Apple TV is connected directly to Airport Express
5. 16 MB when testing the upload speed on WiFi
I was thinking that the TV might be the issue (ref no 3 above), but no one seems to have had the same issue and why would it work flawlessly when watching regular HD TV if that is the case?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this issue.

ATV and Air Video Streaming stopped working

I have been using AIR VIDEO (Standard and HD Version) for months now flawlessly, no issues at all, until the other day any of my devices (iPhones and iPads) will only stream to my ATV's for a few seconds then they cut off and jump back to home screen and the contact starts playing on the device again.
All my devices can see the ATV's no problems there
I am using Air Video Server on a Mavericks iMac and i have iP5, and iP1 (Original), iPad Mini, and also iPad Air - all same problem occurring.
I use the Air Video APP On any of those devices and the same problem occurs.
I've tried so far:
Uninstall AV Server and the APPS on the Devices
Reset and Restart the ATV's (i have ATV2 and ATV3 by the way)
Anyone having the same issues?
Could this be Firmware on the ATVs have updated and not allowing this now?
Can i restore the ATV' back to an older Firmware?
They both currently say they are up to date and running the latest software,
Any help much appreciated....
James

could also be network problems
I would try connecting a mac and the appletv by enthernet cable to the router and if it dont have any problems then I would know it was the wifi which was getting interference from another wifi network or other things which operate on the same frequencies (2.4Ghz which is used for wifi apart from 5Ghz is a very very very busy frequency)

Video streaming stopped working v37.0.1 with OpenH264 Video Codec v1.3

Help. I think the video was working until the last FireFox update sometime last week. Updated the codec plugin and refreshed Firefox, no help. Also tried the recommended settings from the FAQs. Thanks in advance.

Does Firefox display a plugin notification icon in the address bar? It would be to the left of the site address and looks a bit like a small Lego block. If you see such an icon, could you click it and see whether it indicates any plugin issues?
During your last upgrade, do you recall possibly using the Refresh feature? This could come up as a message that Firefox is running slowly and restoring original settings could speed it up. An Old Firefox Data folder would appear on your desktop, with a semi-randomly-named folder inside with a recent modification date. See anything like that?

Video Streaming problem in ios 8.2

I have recently updated my ipad air to ios 8.2 and from then on the video streaming on any of the applications installed is not working at all. Whether its the app or video streaming on safari nothing is working. I've checked youtube applications and browser version and all other video streaming sites like vimeo etc, none of them are working. I've also checked apple TV, the video streaming on that is also not working. But streaming on my desktop PC is working just fine.
I've reset configurations, I've reinstalled everything, even then its not working at all. Anybody has any solutions.
Thanks,
Puneet

‘FREAK’ flaw undermines security for Apple and Google users, researchers discover - The Washington P…

Stops and starts in video streaming from iphone to tv using apple tv and airplay.Both devices have latest software and are capable.

When try to stream content (specifically, videos from Acorn.com) to my TV through my apple TV from my iphone 5,The video freezes, stops and starts continually, even though it is playing smoothly on the screen of my iphone. both iphone, Apple TV are capable models and have latest software updates.
What's wrong here?

Not necessarily, but right now you don't have a stable network and there are a lot of factors that can compromise that. I didn't say ethernet was the only option, again you can get a report of your network to see the status. Would have to change things in order to strengthen the wifi signal (i.e. router location, channel,placement of ATV etc). I am running on wireless without issue, same as most users, and if you took it to a controlled environment (like Apple) you would see similar results.

Apple TV video streaming issue with EA4500

I am facing issues with my router EA4500 and my apple TV. When I am watching a video from my itunes library at my PC, sometimes stop palying waiting to receive data. Is that a way to conect my apple tv to my router to prioritize this video streaming from my PC to apple TV? Can someone help me? Do you have the port list for Apple TV?

I'm sorry if I confused you! Regarding the firmware version you currently have (2.0.37.131047) it shows that you are using the Classic firmware in which we would suggest that you upgrade it using the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Firmware. This Linksys Smart Wifi uses the latest firmware for your router that might help you fixed your problem. Click this link below where you can download the new firmware for yor
router. http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/EA4500----Can you tell me what version of apple tv you have? If your Apple Tv happens to be dual band then I would suggest that you connect to the 5ghz network because it can give you better video streaming capability. Yes you can choose which device you want to connect to the 2.4 or 5 ghz as long that device/s is dual band.
