Apple TV frequently stops playing Internet radio

GGet an Error message. I read that iTunes doesn't buffer. I can play Internet radio all day without interruption from tunein radio or another radio app on my ipad and AirPlay it through Apple tv. Sorry that the Apple TV is kind of "junkie" in that it doesn't buffer. Surprised that a free app is better thought out than something I paid about $100.

A lot of people have reported this with the latest software, you may need to wait for a fix.

Why is iTunes freezing (dreaded beach ball!) whenever I've played internet radio for a while, say 20mins or longer?

So, after a period of playing internet radio (various stations), the station stops and I find then that iTunes has frozen with the beach ball spinning.
I'm hoping that someone in the community can provide some advice.
Here's the start of the latest force quit report I've sent to apple:

Hard to say. It sounds like things are pretty scrambled. What happens is the free space that is left is fragmented into thousands of different places on the drive. So any disc writing activity takes super long and locks things up.
I would recommend posting on the MBP thread http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1149&start=0 This is more of a system rescue problem than an itunes issue.
Good luck, Matt.

Apple TV2 periodically stops playing audio

Hi
I have had an annoying problem with my Apple TV2 after upgrading to the latest firmware (6.0). When streaming video content from my MacMini Server (via ethernet) the Apple TV periodically stops playing the audio while the movie keeps playing without audio. I can solve the problem by pausing and then continuing the movie, which will bring back the audio.
I have tried to restore and reinstall the firmware (6.0) via the Apple TV because I also had problems with the Apple TV stuttering when streaming content from my MacMini, but the reinstallation of firmware did not solved the issue.
I don't know if this is somehow related to the issue, but after having updated to firmware 6.0 Netflix often ask me for my login credetials on the Apple TV. This is an issue that I also never experienced before upgrading the firmware.
What to do now?
Thanks...

So it's been a few months since I saw this thread started, and I am still having the same issues as above with my Apple TV 3. I can go a day or two and at some point, all connections just seem to error out. HBO go, Netflix, me streaming from my ipad, etc. thought they would have been addressed by now.
I have to hard reboot (power plug only) in order for it to go back to normal.
I know it's a hardware issue as I have an Apple TV 2 setup in another room and it never gives me an issue,
The weird thing is, I have the exact same setup at my office as well. An Apple TV 3 in the main conf. Area and an Apple TV 2 in our break area. Same issue - Apple TV 3 needs hard (pore Plug) reset every few days and the Apple TV 2 in the break room is rock solid for months.
Both Apple TV 3 units are at most recent 6.1 software release.
Anyone have any ideas? Think I a just going to put my Apple TV 3's aside for a while and use the 2's until it gets worked out.

My Apple iPod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset, but works on docking station. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

My apple ipod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and you cannot see any silver from the plug still showing.

My apple tv intermittently stops playing music while playing Songza. network connection is strong. i have upgraded to the latest appletv s/w
what can i do to fix this?

Strangely enough, I exchanged the ATV2 and ATV3 and now both work fine. I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that (previously) the ATV3 (1080p) was behind an ethernet hub. Somehow the ATV2 (720p) does not mind being behind the hub. Either that or iTunes suddenly became smarter since the exchange . Anyway, it works now so I'm not touching it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Can i play internet radio through my airport to my stereo?

Can i play internet radio through my airport to my stereo? ps I am not very technical so easy answers would be appreciated.
Thanks

For the block party we just had I was doing just that. I already had a wireless network in my house so what I did was connected an Airport Express to my wireless network in my garage. The Airport Express has an audio jack on it. To this jack, I connected my amp and speakers down in the garage. I was then able to connect iTunes to the speakers over the wireless network.
One additional benefit was that using the Remote app on my iPhone I was able to control my iTunes remotely from the garage to change music from downstairs.
It all worked like a charm.

Apple TV suddenly stopped playing any video

Yesterady my apple tv stopped playing any type of video. This includes movies I've purchased on iTunes, previews on iTunes, Hulu, Netflix. I click play on the video the spinner pops up and the video *almost* starts and then just cancels itself going back to the previous screen. I've tried:
1. Restarting ATV
2. Resetting ATV
3. Testing network connection on ATV -> all is ok
4. Restarting my router & ATV
I'm able to go on the internet with other devices so I know I have internet connection. I'm also able to sign into the Apple Network with my ATV so I believe it has internet connection as well.

So we have this ATT provider in common.
Based upon this other discussion -- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5565870?start=0&tstart=0 -- I ran the Netflix video called 'Example Short 23.976' -- though I had to wait about 15 minutes for it to start playing, it eventually did. I have the U-Verse service of 12 MBPS, and speedtest.net confirms that is what I am indeed getting. But the results showing in Example Short 23.976 should be (and used to be) 5800 kbps; tonight it is 230 kbps, then 500, then 1000, then 2000, then freeze, buffer for a minute, then back down to 230 kbps.
I suggest you run the Netflix video called 'Example Short 23.976' both during prime time hours and at other times during the day, and report back to us with your results. I have a suspicion this is an ATT problem.

Playing internet radio app on 4S over MB audio system

I have an iPhone 4S and ran an internet radio app on it. Then I connected the phone with the ausio system of my 2011 MB E550. For about 2 seconds I could hear the radio station over the car speakers but then the phone switched to the ipod app. I could not switch back to the radio app neither was I able to stop the playing song on the phone since the desplay would not allow me to actually go into the ipod app while connected to the car audio system.
Why is this and is there a way to make the phone play the internet radio station?
The fact that I heard the radio station for about 2 seconds tells me that it generally is possible but then there must be something in the iphone software which makes it flip to the ipod. Can this be bridged without sacrificing the phone's warranty?

I'm not saying that this is your problem but it could potentially be and needs to be corrected. After making the corrections as stated below test and let us know if things improve.
If your DHCP range is 2 to 254 that means the whole range of addresses can be assigned to dynamically. This can cause problems because you haven't left any addresses available to be assigned statically. You will notice that addresses 90 and 100 are within that range.
Set the DHCP range to 250 to 254. That reserves an range of 50 addresses for use by the DHCP. You don't need to make any changes to the IP addresses of the PC or Express as their addresses will now fall outside the range reserved for DHCP.

ITunes not recognise iPod if playing Internet Radio

Anyone had this since iTunes 6.0.5 update and also the iPod update last week. If have Internet radio playing in iTunes and you connect your iPod the Mac recognises it, however iTunes doesn't see it. I know this used to work as I pretty much always have a net radio station of some sort playing when on my Mac.
I would submit it as a Bug but no idea if you can.

Appears to be fixed in recent versions

Playing internet radio through airport to my stereo?

I play itunes through airport to my stereo. Can I play my internet radio station through airport?
Thanks,
Ernie

I'm curious about this as I am sure I was able to play a radio station streaming through iTunes to my AX the other day. I tried this evening and it didn't work. I was able to play a song ripped by iTunes, and switched back to the streaming radio which did play through my computer speakers, but not to the AX.
I know AX won't play video clips (sound) from iTunes....
So, I think I figured it out- AirTunes will play MPEG based streaming audio through the AX, but will not play streams with "Kind" being QuickTime. Unfortunate that my two favorite stations are both QT streamed audio, and these were the two I kept trying to get to work when I thought the problem was the AX or the stereo it was plugged into.
This also explains why I was getting audio through my computer even when it was not selected in iTunes, it only happens when the QT audio can't play through the AirTunes.
Any further thoughts or work arounds for this?
Funny, I found nothing about this in my searches regarding this problem (other than video clip's audio won't play and require Airfoil).

Apple TV 2.0.2 - Internet radio keep being removed from the playlist

Here is my problem,
I add an internet radio to my itunes, sync my AppleTV 2.0.2 , shutoff the computer.
I go to my AppleTV, start listening to my radios, up to now everything is fine.
but after a few days, the internet radio playlist disappear from the ATV.
I tried manytime to resync, works for a few days, then the playlist disapear again.
Anyone having this issues ?

Everyone. Do a search on "radio" and you'll find plenty of threads on this topic. We all hope Apple will fix this in an update .... it would be nice to have radio playlist that works and doesn't disappear!

Apple TV 1 stops playing music, returns to a menu screen. Usually occurs after several hours. Reselecting music playlist and pushing start will get it playing again. I have not seen anything like this in the forum.

Apple TV 1 is used exclusively for music playback. The device is often in use 4 to 8 hours daily. I have had no problems with it in over two years of use. In the last few weeks it has started a new behaviour.
At random times but not always, it will simply stop playing the playlist and return to a menu screen. Playing music again requires selecting a playlist and pressing play. The device continues working and does not require restarting or resetting.
I have browsed the topics for Apple TV 1 and have not found anything similar to this problem.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.

Can't play Internet Radio

Hi,
Previously, when I wanted to stream a radio station over the Internet, I just clicked on the link and a new tab opened with a "Play" button on the bottom of the page. I could then play the broadcast with no problem.
Now, for whatever reason, when I click the link to stream radio my iMac downloads some file with the extension ".asx.asf" and nothing happens. I've tried opening this downloaded file, but my iMac asks me to choose an application with which to open it. iTunes is apparently the default app, but I've been wrestling with iTunes trying to get it to play the file, but no luck.
As I said, everything used to work fine, but now this problem arose. Any help is appreciated. This happens with whatever radio station I try to stream, not one particular station.
Thanks,
Mark.

I have the same problem as huyt78. Incredibly annoying as I live abroad and signed up for my home Football club's radio broadcasts only to find a few weeks later it doesn't work any more! Flip4Mac doesn't work for me either. How do I listen to Internet Radio? Someone please help.
Thanks,
G
