ATV 2, bought in Germany(!), can't play PAL with 25 fps ?

I still can't believe it, but when i search the forums, it seems that the black ATV is not able to play my PAL recordings smoothly.
Actually my new little black box is switching my Samsung Plasma to 720p@60Hz.
But with this setting it's impossible to watch a 25fps movie!
I am not an engineer but i think those at Apple who are developing should know about the differences between PAL and NTSC.
I still have a little hope that this it's me who does not know how to read the manuals and setup his home cinema correctly. But the more i read about this issue the more i'm afraid that Apple failed!
What do you folks think, is there hope to get an update that will give switch the screen to ...@50hz when playing PAL content?

I haven't tried that but i will try (but i dont think the avr does affect resolutions or frequencies).
they can, and often do.
I hate to say it, but most people who buy Apple stuff are fanboys who simply don't notice such shortcomings just because it's Apple and they know Apple never fails.
are you including yourself in that insult?
But when you show them the differences to other media players (which can be set to correct 50hz!)....
i've had many media players.
I think i will call Apple and look what they can do in a future update of iOS.
good luck with that !
My simple suggestion: make an option were i can change from 60hz to 50hz for playing own media. I have heard that the old ATV actually had such preferences....
yes it did

    I get iphone 6 bought from Germany, can it be used in China?

    It should do, as long as you purchased it unlocked from Apple in Germany? 
    Just remember though, that you will probably not get 4G in China due to differences in frequency and you will definitely have no warranty cover for the phone in China - it will be an EU warranty as the phone came from Germany and iPhone warranty is not international.
    Other than this, the phone should work on 2g or 3g if it is unlocked.

  • Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

    Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

    Hi DJNIKKo,
    I have the Diablo III install DVD - it's both Mac & PC install.
    But warning - many players (on a PC board) dislike the game & stopped playing it already...
    I played thru all the chars on 'normal' and started playing the 2nd difficulty, but running away (=being chased) by enemies is NOT my style of playing a game...
    Check some youTube videos & see if that's what you want to do...
    The ratio of hit points (HP) for enemies is:
    1. normal - 20 HP
    2.nightmare - 6000 HP
    3.**** - 150 000 HP
    4.inferno - 1 000 000 HP
    This is for the same enemy...
    (I have the Diablo 3 walkthru guide).
    So this game is't for me...

  • Can't Play DVD (with VLC, Totem, Xine, MPlayer), But Works in Windows

    I have a DVD that I can't play for the life of me in Arch. I've tried VLC, Totem, Xine, and MPlayer. And I do have libdvdcss installed. Other DVDs work fine.
    With VLC the DVD menu comes up, but when I hit play I get choppy sound and no picture. And I get these errors:
    [0x7f91f4000c18] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called

    [0x15c0a08] libmpeg2 decoder error: invalid picture encountered
    With Totem I get the DVD menu and when I hit play it just freezes.
    With Gxine I just get a popup window that says "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" (but again I do have libdvdcss, libdvdread, and libdvdnav installed). In the terminal Gxine reports it's using libdvdcss to get the encryption keys and it appears to all go fine, but then I get the "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" popup window.
    Mplayer plays the the DVD but the image is scrambled and the sound is a little choppy.
    On the other hand, in Windows, on the same computer, the DVD plays fine with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d) and with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite Codec Pack.
    I'm especially baffled that VLC does it in Windows, but not in Arch (nor in Debian).
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    That's interesting. I didn't realize it was all css. But how does that explain in this case the DVD did work with free players in Windows. As I said, both with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite codec pack and with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d)? Thanks.
    That is very possible. All those players use (or can use) direct show. As soon as you have the needed filter installed by SOME software all those players will be able to make use of it. And i think Vista even had dvd filters pre-installed.
    Btw. One of the more common protections on dvds is called arcos and is developed by Sony. Google for it

  • How can I play along with a MIDI sequence in Mainstage?

    Hi folks,
    I have some live performances where I would like to play along with MIDI sequences.  I've been using Mainstage and software instruments, but can't for the life of me figure out how do play along with MIDI sequences.  There's a nice plugin (whose name escapes me at the moment) that lets you play along with looped audio tracks....but a MIDI file would be better for my purposes.  Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks in advance,
    -Mike Kaplan

    Hi
    Not directly within Mainstage.... there could be workarounds using 3rd party applications slaved to MS, but it would be a complete pita (compared to working with scripts to iTunes Playlists or just bouncing the MIDI files to audio).

  • Clementine can't play files with special characters

    I saw Clementine can't play some mp3 files - it would just say "error loading file".
    So I opened an mp3 from the terminal and found out that the problem was the characters in the file name.
    For example, it wouldn't play "Schiller - Tired (mit Jaël).mp3" but works fine with "Schiller - Tired (mit Jael)"
    Any ideas why?

  • Can not play podcast with voice control command

    Is there any way to play a podcast with voice commands? I've been trying everything, "Play podcast Science Friday", "Play NPR Science Friday", "Play This American Life". I'm pretty sure Apple left this feature out. I thought they would have fixed it by iOS4. It's nice they added, "What time is it?" but I think this would be more useful. While I'm driving, sometimes I like to listen to music, sometimes I like to listen to podcasts.
    I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this. Can we please elevate this to a bug/feature request?
    Thanks

    I've always had this problem, where "play" and "pause" does not work with podcasts through voice commands, which is rather dangerous when I'm driving and have to fumble with the touchscreen while using an A2DP headset. I don't usually have any music loaded, since I prefer listening to podcasts, Pandora or FM radio. Yesterday, I synced ONE song onto my iPhone, and suddenly it works with podcasts. I then removed it and it stopped working again. Apparently, if there is no music iPhone thinks that there is nothing to play, even if there are podcasts, which is a pretty stupid BUG. I still have not been able to play artists or titles, but now I can say "play playlist <list-name>" or "play" to resume a podcast that is paused.
    Of course, no matter what I say, half the time it dials a random number from my contacts!

  • Can't play m4a with moc anymore

    Hi
    since last upgrade I found out that I can't play m4a in my favourite player moc. It says that 'No audio stream in file'.
    Does anyone know what is the problem? I can't find any mention of this, so maybe just my set up
    I have faad2, and ffmpeg etc. installed.
    Thanks for help!

    I guess I am a pragmatist and yes, I did all sorts of things and my system is up to date. 
    Sometimes a person just has to do what works in the meantime. I agree with you and I admitted it is a "dirty" trick but without a fix by other means, it works for now.  I doubt if my particular hack is going to do any damage, since the symlinks refer to now deprecated file references.  Is it generally bad practice?  Yes, but so is putting pepper in a leaky radiator, but if you are stuck somewhere, it does plug a small hole for a bit and can get you to where you need to be.  Those links can later be removed.
    I did just file this however:
    http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14713
    I think some packages are still seeking the old linked files which are removed by the latest faad2.  Oddly, I have a new install on a system and it works fine so I am not sure what the issue is or why a full upgrade on an "older" install didn't fix it.

  • Can you play music with the laptop closed?

    Is there a way play music with the Laptop closed? I have a MacBook Pro w/Retina display.

    You'll either need to have a keyboard and monitor attached so you can wake the computer with the screen closed or use one of the third-party utilities that keeps the MBP from sleeping when you close the lid such as InsomniaX.

  • I bought music under a different apple id and can't play it with my new apple id. How can I reauthorize my computer for that music?

    I am trying to reauthorize my computer to play music I purchased from itunes under an old apple id. When I changed my ID I could no longer play anything I purchased previously but I can't find how to get apple (or my computer) to recognize that its my music. I get a message saying I must authorize this computer to play music bought by this (old Apple ID). Anyone know how to get around this problem?

    In iTunes pull down Store menu > Authorize and type the credentials.

  • Can't play it with nvidia

    Hi folks,
    I bought the game (cities:skylines) 3 days ago.Since then i'm looking for solutions,and did all the things that may be solution according to what i read from internet.
    My exact problem is,i can choose Nvidia as dedicated GPU from control panel (even though it shows Nvidia as dedicated,i receive a short -not responding- at the top when i'm switching.But after that Nvidia lasts there as dedicated) And i suppose game is running on Intel graphic card insistly.
    Then when everytime i open the game it lags and lags.And i think my system is good enough to play it fluently.
    laptop is: MSI ge60 294XTR
    my specs are : intel i7-4700MQ cpu , 8GB RAM , Nvidia gtx 765m graphic card.
    I reinstalled the game and both drivers,it's still same.
    Any help would be appreciated
    thanks in advance

    Nvidia sometimes sets games to use the intel chip by default.  You have to go into the Nvidia control panel.  Under manage 3d settings, choose program settings.  Find the game (you may have to add it), and then change the CUDA - GPUs setting to the Nvidia card.  That should fix it in most cases.
