Audio stream (LCCS) persisted after browser closed

In our app, audio and video streams are published into a room while the users are chatting.
We were told that it is not necessary to explicitly stop publication; logging out of the room is sufficient.
Tonight I just had an experience where my chat partner tried to leave the room, experienced a bug, and then closed his browser (Chrome).  He used a tool to kill the process (Chrome) but the audio stream was still being published and audio was going both ways.  He could still hear me, and I him, even though his browser was no longer open.

I might have to switch to the dreaded Internet Explorer over this. Chrome has no way to change the menu bars around.... which is too Microsoft-like for me. I don't even know if IE lets you modify menu sizes/positions. I left IE because a past version wouldn't let you mess with the menus.
I found to stop an audio stream from playing after you close a browser window killing the Firefox process works. But I don't know if that is because it is a Firefox issue, or killing Firefox also kills any Flash add-ons.
Grrrrrrrrr.

  • Is Mobile Safari's in-app multitasking (audio stream in one tab, browsing in another) gone for good?

    I cannot remember the last iOS version this feature actually worked, but in the past, I used to be able to open a tab in Mobile Safari, begin streaming audio from a website, pinch in to bring up standard UI again, and then open up another tab within Safari itself and continue to browse the web. All the while the streaming audio is still playing in the background.
    Now (and actually for the last few iOS versions, it's been a while), you cannot browse Safari while listening to a Safari audio stream at the same time. To me this makes no sense at all, because it's just a simple backgrounding concept. I can go off and use any other app on my phone, but not Safari itself.
    There ARE a few ways to kind of trick Safari into allowing you to browse and listen, but it's a poor workaround. You can go to the website, tap-and-hold on the stream URL, then select Open in Background. Doing so will begin the stream and keep you in the current webpage and then allow you to open more tabs.
    HOWEVER, if you ever select that audio stream tab, you can't control it consistently, and most of the time you'll get stuck in that tab and your solution is broken.
    For YEARS I've been waiting for Apple to fix this silly limitation with each new iOS release, but every time I find that it's never fixed. I'm just surprised that I don't hear more people complaining about it, because it's been a huge source of frustration for me for so long.
    Does anyone else experience this frustration or know if this is intentional (which would be enormously depressing if Apple purposely designed these functions) or if there are any better solutions to it than what I've come up with?

    Thanks for the heads up.
    Odd that I can't just email their support department.
    I'll post back with my results.

  • Live Internet audio stream not functioning after iTunes 10.5.3 update

    Today my iTunes listed Internet audio stream for a local radio station will not play. i did perform the iTunes update for 10.5.3 3 days ago and the stream funcitoned then, but not today. Ugh. Any hints? Thanx everso!

    Try downloading the package for new installs. the update package failed, but the new install package worked for me without any trouble.
    History:
    I began this trouble shooting exercise by selecting Download Only through the Apple Update applet. Running the msi manually did not resolve the problem. In fact, it was more frustrating because the download package would disappear after running even though it failed, and I had to download it again. "Cleanup" I suppose. <frown>
    I followed advice to remove the Apple Software Update program, reboot and re-run the msi. That did not resolve the failure.
    I then followed advice to set permissions for Administrators on registry key HKLM\Software\Micorosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Com ponents
    then reboot and run the update msi again. This also did not resolve the failure.
    I downloaded the installer from the Apple download site as though it were a fresh install, and - voila! - it installed correctly and all content and settings were preserved. Hopefully that is all that is needed, not the steps above. Let me know! http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

    I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.  I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream).  When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD.  All device are on current releases of software.  I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV.  How do I correct this?

    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.

    See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Audio streaming stops after about 13 minutes.

    Audio streaming over the Internet just stops after about 13 minutes and has to be restarted. I need a solution

    Thanks for your help! You helped solve the issue, albeit indirectly...
    At this point, I want to share my experience, in the hope that it might be helpful to others:
    After finding that chapter markers had nothing to do with the problem, I found that indeed my camcorder was set to the dreaded 12 bit. Oh dear! The original DV tape is long gone. (At first I did not expect this to be a problem, since I had made several DVDs successfully with the existing settings, but then there are all these horror stories in discussions about what 12 bit can do to you.)
    So to rescue my movie, I found advice to "share" my iMovie back to a fresh DV tape, and then re-import it with the 16 bit setting.
    This lead to the next issue: After a number of minutes of re-exporting to DV tape, the video received by the camcorder would freeze, while the audio continued. This happened at several different points in several differerent attempts.
    So next I visited iMovie discussions, where I found advice to clean up my Mac. I used Mac Sweeper, and now indeed my Mac runs faster and smoother for many apps. I also downgraded my QuickTime version. But another attempt of exporting from iMovie to DV tape also failed, but now it failed at exactly the same point where the audio stopped in my DVD!!! (Even though on the export-to-DV-tape it was not the audio but the video that froze.)
    Next I found that when playing that problematic scene in iMovie, the iMovie program would also freeze at that very point, making it necessary to "force quit" out.
    In the end the solution was to chop out the problematic bit in that scene. Now everything works fine, including the iDVD step.

  • AirPlay stop audio streaming closing iPad control app

    Just bought AirPort Express.
    Wifi connected to my NAS, used to stream music to my old stereo that is in another room using analogic audio out.
    Opening iPad control app I can select and play music, but when I close the app (not leaving in background, closing down or shutting down iPad) the audio stream stop.
    In the control app (DS Audio from Synology) I also can't select AirPort Express as player in settings, only iPad is listed. I can correctly select AirPort for AirPlay.
    NAS firewall is configured to allow AirPlay, AirPort firmware is latest release, I use iPad 2 with iOS 6.01.
    Any suggestion?

    also i want to specify something............if am using loopback address,the sender and receiver(in this typical code,capture and receive files) ought to have diff. ports( i suppose as their ips are already same)
    or am i wrong???
    i have given same ports.......i had tried once with diff. ports........miraculously perhaps it worked (the sound was echoed through my headphone),....but next time when i tried i failed......and still failing........any suggestions please waiting eagerly

  • Flash player 11.3.31.230 on google chrome: audio stream issues

    Hi,
    Just to let you know that i get an audio stream bug on google chrome with the latests 11.3.31.230 realease.
    the received streamed audio in visio chat (i use Adobe LCCS to stream and receive it) is messy (echos etc).
    When i disable this latests release, it works fine again.
    with 11,3,300,271 realease
    Funny thing is that:
    if i receive the audio stream and get the bug on my website.
    and if at the same time i open a new tab with youtube
    the bug is fixed for my website, even if i close the youtube tab after that.
    but whenever i try to close and reopen the audio stream again, the bug comes back.
    I don't believe its a bug associated to my specific configuraiton, but its for every one.
    i get the bug on other computers too.
    Thanks
    Regards,

    I noticed the past two days that Solitaire Blitz game on Facebook and Jewel Quest game on Yahoo are flying now.  I installed 11.4 a few days ago and still have protected mode disabled, but I didn't notice this change until Tuesday evening.  The only thing different about my computer Tuesday is that I had disabled Java.  (I received an email tip from Kim Komando saying Java has security flaws and should be disabled until they can be patched.)  Could there be a conflict between Flash and Java, with Java causing Flash to be slightly slower?  This isn't a real "problem" for me, as I thought both games were working fine prior to disabling Java; but I did notice they were even faster the last couple of days.

  • Audio Streaming w/wireless router

    My iMac was originally set up in Phoenix on Cox w/ a cable modem. I could get an audio stream from where ever I wanted. I added Windows media and flip for Mac, so I could do some sites like the CBC from Canada. It is now set up in Wisconsin on Charter with a cable modem to my wife's Gateway and a Netgear wireless router. It was a lot of going round with Mac support and Charter, but the proper (?) setings were made. This is fast and I can get to all the websites I've tried.
    I can use the CBC and sites like Jib Jab with no problems. HOWEVER WHEN I try to get the audio from the BBC, I can get to their website but can't connect to their audio.... stranger still is the "Car Talk Guys". Here I can get to their webpage and start their show, but only get the Allstate Insurance advert for the first 10 seconds of the show.
    Are their any audio streamers out there who can help me with the proper Safari settings ??
    Thanx for the help in advance. JOHN

    Hi John, according to the BBC:
    "Some Mac OS X users have reported they are unable to hear anything even though the Radio Player appears to be initialising and streaming normally. If this occurs, you could try opening and closing Apple GarageBand, as some users have informed us this generally solves the problem. Please note, if you are using a Mac, you will not be able to skip forward 5 or 15 minutes due to technical restrictions outside our control. Users of Mac OS X may also need to run their browser in Classic mode."

    I'm assuming that you have RealPlayer installed.

  • Can I use the new Apple TV without a display for audio streaming only?

    Here's my situation...
    I have an Airport Express in my living room connected to my DSL modem to create a wifi network. I also have a current model MacBook Pro and would like to add an Apple TV to my bedroom system for music and Netflix audio streaming. I do not own a TV to do any setup.
    If I bought an ATV for my bedroom and connected the optical output to my DAC, would I be able to accomplish my goal or is there a setup procedure on the ATV which mandates a display?
    I realize I could just buy another Airport Express for easy audio streaming, but then I wouldn't have the Netflix audio capability which I would like since I watch movies on my MBP. I'm hoping like an Airport Express, the ATV would configure itself for audio streaming once connected to my wifi network.
    Thanks for any help or ideas.

    If you're planning to stream from iTunes to the AppleTV controlling the material via iTunes, I suspect it may just appear as an Airtunes speaker option for iTunes without any setup needed.
    No Netflix in UK so don't know much about it, but I suspect you'd need to control the AppleTV directly for this unless you were viewing on the MBP and used something like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil to transmit audio.
    If you have no desire for controlling AppleTV either on an TV or using Remote app for iPhone etc (and you'd need to set AppleTV up with a TV for Netflix or AppleTV controlled streaming anyway), you might want to consider using another Express upstairs and hook it's optical out to your DAC if you're just after stereo audio.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • Audio problems and more after updating to 10.4.3

    After taking an OS X update to 10.4.3 from 10.4.2, I've got static instead of audio. This happens no matter what program I'm using: Bias Peak 4.14, iTunes 6.0.1, Apple DVD Player 4.6, QuickTime 7.0.3. I'm even getting static on system sounds (empty trash, delete file, etc). If I open 'Sound' in System Prefs, I'm treated to continuous static...
    My sound card settings have not changed - it's an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 running driver version 2.0.4. I've tried contacting M-Audio tech support but they're closed on weekends.
    Everything was ok before I took the update. Now i've got the static and other weird problems as well:
    If I try to play a .vob file from a commercially pressed DVD using VLC Media Player, I get the following error message "read failed - permission denied". Anything from a recordable DVD is fine (except for the audio).
    If I try to backup any file from a commercially pressed DVD, the file doesn't copy and an error message appears: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items". I double-checked with a DVD that I had previously backed up successfully using the same method and now it doesn't work.
    Any thoughts or suggestions will be most welcome.

  • Audio Stream Recorder - Error: Audio device is already being used by another prog

    I realized that Audio Stream Recorder is does not "work" through server list feature. So I am simply trying to use the manual method of adding URL's to the interface. However regardless of the type of stream, shoutcast, windows media or real audio, I receive the error "audio device is already being used by another program". Does anyone know how to fix this? I have closed my audio application etc to no avail. <RANT WARNING> I was very excited about using this application when I read about it. However an application that provides none of the stated features is not an application, its false advertising, since it clearly states on the box, help files and website this products "features". Anyway, it'ss very disappointing. Also, does anyone know what the supported steaming formats are, the help file say the application requires RealONE and Windows Media Player but does not mention audio stream formats? Thanks you in advance for any help.

    I have the same issue. I updated to the latest software, to no avail. My first suspicion is that some Microsoft patch caused this, but I cannot verify this.
    Apparently no one at Creative is very interested in this issue.
