.asx stream problem w/ WM Player & Flip4Mac

I apologize if this is not the correct place to post such a question, but I didn't know of a better place and I'm desperate here!
I have Windows Media Player v.9 for Mac OSX, and the Flip4Mac plugin for Quicktime, and neither of them play the .asx stream from my favorite radio station!! In Windows Media Player I get a "stream type not recognized" message, and in Flip4Mac I get an eternally spinning arrow and an "unknown error" message!
Please HELP if you can! I moved to the other side of the country from my favorite radio station and now I can't listen to it! Aagh!

Windows Media Player for Mac (version 9 which is only version for OS X before MS discontinued Media Player for Mac) never did support all file formats (file types available in Media Player on Windows. Flip4Mac WMV Player also lacks some features - does not bring WMV3 (Windows Media Video 3 codec included in Media Player 10 for Windows XP) support/compatibility to QuickTime nor can you use Flip4Mac WMV Player unfortunately at this time to play protected wmv content.
Dunno if there is any fix for this -- think its just not compatible with Macintosh. Certain file types like avi, .asx etc won't work with Media Player for Mac (nor will they work with Flip4Mac WMV Playback Component).
For Internet radio suggest you try using iTunes radio features. But am at a loss to help you regain access your favorite radio station.
Sorry, and hope you have a solution to your problem soon.

  • File type/quicktime/streaming problem

    I use a stock trading app (thinkorswim) that links to a CNBC streaming video. Before I upgraded to Snow Leopard, when I'd click the link, VLC (a third party video app) would open and start streaming the video. Now when I click it, I get an error message saying "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application."
    I think this is a file type issue. If the video was a static file, I'd do a Get Info on it and tell it to open in VLC. But it's a streaming video triggered from another app, so I don't know how to make it work.
    Any suggestions?

    I have the same problem. Was using Flip4MAC and have also tried Flip4MAC Beta which is supposed to work on Snow Leopard.... No Soap. If you have any responses from other places, I'd like to know.

  • Live encoding of .asx stream

    Hello,
    I have a live .asx stream which I need to encode into m4v or mp4 inorder to be able to broadcast such that users can view it on the iphone. The .asx stream is being viewed in QuickTime player in Mac using Flip4Mac. When I am using Quicktime broadcaster for live encoding its giving error. Can anyone suggest solution?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply!
    The reason, I want to convert the encoding of a Stream is: Our application supports UTF-8 very well. So, incoming data in non-UTF-8 encoding may most probably fail. There are characters like �, TM, copyright, etc which are supported by UTF and also ISO-8859-1. So, if I change the incoming ISO-8859-1 Stream into UTF-8, then the application will like resultant UTF-8 data.
    I tried what u suuggested, but stil can't get it work. Following is what i did:
    reader = new InputStreamReader(inStream, "ISO-8859-1");
    writer = new OutputStreamWriter(outStream, "UTF-8");
    int n;               
    while ((n = reader.read(c)) > 0) {
    writer.write(c, 0, n);
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • New Radio Station & Streaming Problems

    I have added my favorite Public Radio station to my iTunes library, but I can not get it to connect. It shows up in the library as a radio station, but nothing happens when I click on the play button.
    In addition, I'm having trouble with all the radio stations I've tried that were already in the iTunes folder. I've tried changing the streaming buffer size in preferences, but the network keeps stalling and needing rebuffering, regardless of the streaming buffer size I choose.
    PowerBook PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   Other computer is iMac, OS X v.10.3.9

    I single file in a playlist repeats constantly for me (just tried it - don't usually have playlists for single items), but I have never tried using repeat on an audio stream. I expect the repeat doesn't work with streams because iTunes never gets an end-of-file notification which would then tell iTunes to start again at the beginning - but that is just a guess.
    What happens if you open the stream in Quicktime? If the stream is in iTunes library, you can open it's Get Info box, click on Edit URL on the summary tab, and you can then copy the address to paste into Quicktime's Open URL. If the stream is one on the default iTunes Radio list, drag it into your Library and you can then click on the Edit URL button to copy the address. iTunes an Quicktime are not exactly the same, so you may get different results. You could also try VLC Player". Testing streams in another player may help you identify if it is really iTunes at fault.
    I usually don't have streaming problems, although I rarely have a stream on longer than 2 or 3 hours at a time and I think about 5 hours is the longest I've had a stream running.

  • Streaming problem: 10060

    Hello,
    I have a darwin streaming server that works great on the internal network at my job, but won't work from an external computer (obviously I change the ip from local to external and do the port forwarding etc.)
    I'm connecting on port 554 for the streaming server, and my quicktime is set to stream from 554 UDP. However, it fails to connect, and gives me a 10060 error. I have opened port 554 on the firewall, and am forwarding ports 554 and 6970-6999 to the streaming server. Not sure what else could be hanging it up, but interestingly, doing rtsp://my.ip:554/file.mp4 WORKS on VLC, but not quicktime.
    Any thoughts?

    Were you able to find out why VLC was working but Quicktime was not? I have a similar problem where Quicktime Player will not play the stream from out QTSS but VLC plays them just fine.
    Thanks,
    David

  • Problem loading flash player...

    I am running windows xp sp3 ....... I down loaded the flash player 10. 102. 64 . everything went as planned ...the only place I could find evidence that the player downloaded was by going in to the control panel and add or remove software feature. It showed that it loaded it...but showed no memory occupation. While in Control panel, I highlighted the new flash player entry. and it simply showed a link to adobe support. So, I am here trying to help solve by providing my input.
    I logged on as System admin, killed the virus software processes, and downloaded it all again after having removed the previous version. Same Results
    I have taken several approaches with no success...each time going into the control panel and noting the entry of the flash player 10 with no mem. size being their.  I then uninstalled the thing using adobes DLM...it does say that it is installed and done...also it does remove the entry when uninstalling.
    I updated my java script .....once again the same results....right now ...my computer says that the flash player is loaded no memeory occupied (via control panel) but the only thing is a link to adobe....so, has any body had this experience.

    Thanks, I will revist the forum and look up the threads, I need all the help I can get, You have a great Christmas.
    I too will do without streaming videos , until after the Lords bithday has been celebrated.

    Subject: problem loading flash player...
    Hi, The Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a standalone player. There will be no size or any info in Control Panel/Add/Remove/Programs & Features.
    Check a couple of recent threads or click on my name to several threads I have posted on helping users with the same issue.
    Company coming in for the Christmas weekend and my time right now is limited.
    On those threads you'll see the info you need.
    Hope that helps,

  • G723_RTP decoding from rtp stream problem

    HI,
    I've managed to establish rtp connection and send the audio stream in G732 format. The stream is ok, but I can't decode the response from the asterisk server. I use the same way to set the audio format for both sending and receiving:
    TrackControl[] tcs = processor.getTrackControls();
    if(tcs.length == 0) {
         return; //should not enter this case
    TrackControl tc = tcs[0];//we expect one channel only
    String codecType = SoftPhoneSettings.audio_codec;
    tc.setFormat(new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.G723_RTP, 8000.0, 16, 1, -1, -1, 192, -1.0, null));
    tc.setEnabled(true);If I use the gsm_rtp or ulaw_rtp codec it works just fine on both sides (also decoded right by me), but with G723_RTP I here no voice. And also I got EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION on processor.close();, which is also only if using this codec.
    The asterisk server is working fine, but I can't figure out what exactly is the problem here, and why I send it correctly but I can't decode the response. I've also tried with setCodecChain, but the situation is the same. Can anybody help me with this, because I can't find the source of the problem and more important I still can't solve it. 10x in advance.

    Is there any standard way for retrieving the G723_RTP stream, like using a player or?

  • Problems with DVD Player 3.0.1 in G4/466

    Problems with DVD Player in G4/466
    Yes, I've a g4/466 with two disks. In the first there's system 9.2.2 and the DVD player goes perfect. In the second I've system 10.2 and the 9.2, and the DVD Player (3.0.1) on the system 10 begins to jump in the dock, but stop and nothing happens, I can't open it...
    There's any way to reinstal it form system disks???
    Or any download to check the error?
    Thanks

    1. Try using Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.2 installation disks, and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X and any applicable DVD Player updates.
    2. Open the Console application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and look for lines relating to the DVD Player.

  • I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

    Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
    If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.
    I have this problem with Flash Player 10. No 9 works good, but some websites wants no. 10

    Generaly FP works, but problem is that i must press few times full screen button. Now i have turn off hardware accelleration, but movies are quite bad.
    I have already installed newest graphic drivers but it didn't help.
    Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<

  • ICloud photo stream problem

    Hi all - I really need your help. 
    My iPhoto '11 was working just fine until I upgraded it to 9.4.3.  I also just installed the recent system upgrade.  Now I am having multiple problems. It seems to stem from Photo Stream.  Activity Monitor shows that Photo Stream is using up gobs of CPU which is strange since it is supposed to not be working...
    In iPhoto, under the preferences, it shows that Photo Stream is not enabled.  If I check the box to turn it on, it just unchecks itself just as quickly.  But in the system preferences, it shows that Photo Stream is set up just fine.  Photo Stream is certainly not working.  And it seem to be totally screwing up iPhoto.  I have tried multiple iPhoto fix options (option alt fixes, restoring a backup library, uninstalling then reinstalling iPhoto) with no improvement.
    I'm not sure if the problem is coming from iPhoto or iCloud Photo Stream problems.  I am running OSX 10.8.4 on a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
    Can anyone tell me what to do?  Thank you so much!

    Well Old Toad, I am stumped.
    I double checked and logged out of iCloud in both user accounts and made sure that PS was not enabled on either library.  Then I restarted the computer.  I went back to my main user account (second account set up = non administrator account) and to my main iPhoto library, logged into iCloud, tried turing on PS = did not work.
    If I do the exact same thing as above for a restore of a backup of my library = does not work.
    If I do the exact same thing above but log in with my first account (not my main one but it is the admin account on the computer) and access the test library I created = PS works just fine with no problem.
    It seems the problem with PS is limited to my primanry account (non-admin).  Do you think the admin privaledges difference between the two accounts could be the problem...?
    As always, I am thankful for your time and advice.

  • Problems with flash Player

    So I'm having a problem with flash player, and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing, or might be able to help.
    - Upgraded 2 computers to snow leopard, macbook pro laptop, and mac Pro tower (intel proc).
    - Laptop has no problems, everything renders fine, and without any difficulty.
    - Mac Pro doesn't display any dynamic data, text fields show up blank, some flash player controls don't work, brightcove player won't load completely... things are just not working right.
    - Main browser is Safari, but same problem exists in Camino, Firefox, etc...
    - I've had Safari Stand installed, but have since removed it.
    - I've removed GROWL notifications completely
    - I've got debug and developer menus turned on (but have that with the laptop also.)
    Please see the screenshot attached. This graph should have text data on it showing the x/y axis, the key, as well as data when you mouse over each block, but doesn't show anything.
    The second screen shot shows a brightcove player from our website... There should have full controls at the bottom, and nothing shows up. If I right-click, and go to 'view full screen', I can't then get out of full screen by clicking escape key on the keyboard, I have to use any player controls, or right-click again, and hit 'exit full screen'.
    Anyone have any suggestions? It's something to do with my computer, rather than snow leopard, because flash works fine on my laptop, but not on the desktop. Any help is really appreciated !

    Hi!
    I reached your post because I was having the exact same issues as you and I found a fix that worked for me! The problem is a font issue: I logged in with the guest account that had no users font installed and flash was working fine, so I logged back into my account and moved all the fonts in my 'User>Library>Fonts' folder in a folder in the desktop. Then I closed and reopened Safari and Flash was working!
    In the end the problem was with a version of Arial that I had in my users' font folder: I deleted just that, put my users' font back in the folder and the problem disappeared.
    I hope it hepls!

    I Am Sorry. In fact had the DST setting to + 1:0 and I changed to 12:0 am; As the clock time was delayed, because in Portugal we are indeed in summer time!, I changed the time directly. Unfortunately the reminders remain with an hour of advance. The alarm clock that is set crescento for 7:15 minutes as the set initially and never changed. The first reminder has been set for the 7:15 but is now changed to 6:15 due to this error. Does anyone have any suggestions other than modify all reminders. I would add that the Firmware of the Nokia C2 03 est actualized to a V7.48.

    Lamento. De facto tinha a definição de hora de verão para +1hora e alterei para 0horas;
    Como a hora do relógio ficou atrasada, pois em Portugal estamos de facto na hora de verão!, alterei directamente a hora.
    Lamentavelmente os lembretes continuam com uma hora de avanço.
    A crescento que o despertador está definido para as 7:15 minutos como o defini inicialmente e nunca sofreu alterações. O primeiro lembrete foi definido para as 7:15 mas está alterado para as 6:15 devido a este erro.
    Será que alguém tem alguma sugestão que não seja modificar todos os lembretes.
    Acrescento que o Firmware do Nokia C2 03 está actualizado para a V7.48.

  • Problem installing Flash Player ActiveX

    hi,
    i try to install the IE version of the Flash Player, but it says me, that I'm trying to install an older version and I should go download the new setup file but that I just downloaded from here. The problem is, Flash Player is not even installed and ever Flash website tells me to install the flash player.
    Is there a way to force the setup to ignore this warning?

    Hi w, well that does happen when trying to install an older version. Glad you found the solution.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Problems  installing flash player. Learner

    I am experienceing problems installing flash player. I go to the adobe website and install the program and I am told it has been successfully  installed. No flash player  icon apppears on my desktop. When I press the windows start icon and click on "all programs" there is no evidence of the flash player. However when I click on" my computer" icon and go into uninstall/change the flash player program is there.I have spent quite some time installing, uninstalling and installing again without success
    I am using windows Vista. I am also using Kaspsersky Internet security. It is a private computetr so I do not think  I need administrators permission.  I have tried installing flash player using both interner explorer and Mozilla firefox.Please can anyone help. Many thanks.

    Shane, since you must be having problems getting a thread started, I'll just go ahead and try to help you here.
    Use IE and go to Help and click on About Internet Explorer. It should tell you sp1 or sp2.
    Also using IE, go to Tools, click on Manage add ons and look in all add ons for Shockwave Flash Object. Let me know if it is Enabled and if it is version 10.0.45.2 or says Flash10e.ocx.
    Then switch over to FF (Firefox) and find the plug-in SWF version 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is listed and Enabled.
    Post this info back to me.
