EA6500 Bandwidth Crush When Streaming.

Been noticing this lately, thought a few times it was just random internet drops outs, but completely crushing bandwidth when streaming is normal for this router.
WHATS THE PROBLEM?
Its completely obvious when playing a game on xbox live or playing wow or diablo 3 on the pc, when streaming from youtube in 720p or higher the bandwidth is completely crushed. I downloaded a game yesterday also through games for windows marketplace on the pc yesterday and my brother couldn't play diablo 3 while I was downloading. I tried media prioritization and that doesn't fix the problem.
Interestingly enough I still own an E4200 so I hooked that router back up just to see how that handled things. I set my extension on chrome to always play youtube videos at 1080p if availible, and there was no lag or bandwidth crush. I logged onto xbox live while my brother was playing diablo 3 and downloaded a video trailer of a game and no bandwidth crush. Hmm I thought.... So I tried the EA6500 again and the bandwidth crush comes back and my brother can no longer play online games while Im streaming.
At this point Im just gonna suck it up and start using the E4200 again until EA6500 gets a good software update and can perform standard tasks. I have a 20mb download and a 2mb upload should this be happening with a router this expensive?

I am sorry my mistake. This AC router only has Smart Wifi firmware, no Classic. You can try setting the MTU size to 1365 if you have Cable or 1472 if you have DSL. You can also disable the Media Prioritization on the router.

Pixelation at bandwidth change while streaming VOD in HLS

Hi,
I have FMS 4.5 installed and I'm doing some tests streaming media via HLS with a STB.
This is my main playlist link: http://lab001.dyndns.org/m3u8/ca-8ms.m3u8
The problem is, when the bandwidth changes during streaming, there's a pixelation.
No matter what I configured in HLSMediaFileDuration (in httpd.conf), and no matter which value I set for KeyFrame Iterval, I always got pixelation at bandwidth change while streaming.
In this article, it is said: "The duration of TS files, in milliseconds. Use a value that is a multiple of the keyframe intervals for the media.". I did try that, but no luck.
For example, when I set HLSMediaFileDuration to 8000 (default), I encodec my media with KeyFrame interval = 4. I also tried different combination but it didn't solve the problem.
I'm using:
Server: FMS 4.5.
Media Encoder: Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Pro (multiple bit-rates with the same KeyFrame Interval).
Client: AirTies STB and iPad 2.
What am I doing wrong or missing?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Wiaam.

I am having this EXACT issue - only I am using an iPhone 6 Plus 64gb. I live in the Chicago metro area, and when I stream using Spotify, iTunes Radio or Pandora, I am having the exact same issue. I can watch the phone go from LTE to 3G to 1x, then to get it back to LTE, I need to put it into Airplane mode and take it out of Airplane mode.

How to make FMS drop messages when streaming live RTMP?

Hi,
Our application requires 0 latency live video, or more precisely an interactive video, very much like a video conference applicaiton.
We currently publish an RTMP stream, carrying a VP6 encoded video to Red5 (and we are evaluating FMS and Wowza as alternatives). Our client is, of course, flash based, and contains a player that shows the video.
My question in general is how I can get the smallest possible latency when using RTMP in FMS, even when the user's network connection does not allow him/her to get the full stream (for instance, when I publish 100kbps stream and the user is limited to 80). Basically, what I would like to see in those cases is FMS drop the frames that are not the latest ones. I tried to configure FMS using this guide, but I am not sure if any of the parameters I changes shoudl do the trick. At any case, I don't get the 0 latency I am looking for.
I also noticed a columnin the clients view of the admin console named "Drops", but the tooltip says "Messages dropped by the client". I think I am looking for messages dropped by the server.
So, does FMS drop messages/frames by default when streaming RTMP and the bandwidth to client is not enough, or should I configure it to do so? How?
I am aware of the fact there are better technologies to do what I am trying to do, with adaptive/dynamic streaming. I am also trying to understand whether I have to move to such technologies or I can stick with RTMP.
Thanks.

live_recorded is only to serve your recorded files, there is no way you can record as "live" be default disables recording.

Excessive bandwidth error when trying to video chat with buddy

I have been unable to video chat with people on my buddylist...when I ask them to join or they ask me to join...my image comes up but soon returns an error box stating "unable to connect due to excessive bandwidth."
When I use menu item "Connection Doctor" it returns ERROR -22
Any ideas ?
Does this have anything to do with OSX10.4.10 upgrade or Safari beta 3.0.2 (522.12) update?

Hi
have you set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps(dont use automatic)
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.
Restart iChat.
Tell us your down and upload speeds http://www.speedtest.net/

When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

How to eliminate subtitles when streaming Netflix through Apple TV?

When streaming movies from Netflix through Apple TV, sub-titles appeared and we canot find a menu or symbol to click to eliminate the sub titles. They carry over to our next item. How can I eliminate the sub titles. (This is only a problem with Apple TV. Able to eliminate them on computer or I Pad.

Push and hold the menu button while the content is playing. It will bring up a menu for captioning if the content has an option to chang it.

When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

No problem.
This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

Itunes freezes when streaming music to airport express and to loewe air speaker at the same time?

Hi,
(first post )
I was recently offered a Loewe Airspeaker. I already had an Airport Express connected to a hi-fi system.
The Airport Express + hi-fi is in the living-room and the Loewe Airspeaker is in our bedroom.
Both are connected to my network via wifi.
I was trying to stream music from my iMac to both the Airport Express and the Loewe Airspeaker.
When doing this, I am able to get the same tune on both devices, but iTunes systematically freezes
=>music continues to be streamed but interface on the iMac gets the endless multicolor wheel !
Has anyone seen anything similar before, for ex. is there a similar issue when streaming music to 2 different Airport Express?
Any idea on where this is coming from?
Any idea on how to prevent this?
Thx in advance
Rodolphe
A few precisions on the configuration:
the iTunes library and corresponding music are located on a Mac Mini configured as a media server.
The iMac connects to the mac mini via wifi (shared folder). Home network is organized via an Airport Extreme.
Both computers run Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion and are up to date.

Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
One explanation I see:
my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
Anyone's got anything to add?

Bit of a strange one.... HD Movies "Judder" when streaming to ATV2

Bit of a strange one.... all my HD Movies since the latest ATV2 update "Judder" when streaming.
It's very hard to describe but whenever there is a fast Zoom or Pan shot the image flickers for around half a second. It seems to happen every 20 seconds or so, this has only been the case since the latest update of ATV2.
I purchased Tron Legacy (HD) from the iTunes store and it occurs when playing that movie. It also happens on all my self generated HD contect.
Strangely it does not occur when streaming to my 1st Gen Apple TV, which makes me think it has nothing to do with my Home Network setup, as they are both connected via Ethernet cables.
There is only a problem with HD Streaming and ATV2.
Any assistance would be appriciated
Hans

The last update seems to have introduced a feature which lets the Apple TV detect the native frequency of your TV, in the UK this is probably but not always 50 Hz, this is beneficial for Home video and broadcast content in these locations where the frame rate is 25 fps. It isn't ideal for 30 fps or 24 fps content though which most of the iTMS movies and TV shows are.
Also of relevance is that some TV's make a better job of telecine/detelecine than others due to the quality of their components.
Although I don't necessarily think that Apple are responsible for the ability of 3rd party TV's, the problem could be easily overcome by allowing the user to manually select the Apple TV output as was the case with the Apple TV 1. This would allow the user to switch to 60 Hz for 30/24 fps content and 50 Hz for 25 fps content.
Some TV's have motion settings which worsen/improve the situation depending on their settings.

IPad 3 very hot w battery drain when streaming AirPlay!

Why does my iPad 3 get very hot and battery drains very quickly only when streaming with AirPlay?

Just in case anyone else is experiencing the same or similar scenario that I was (see first post), turns out that the Apple Care Geniuses determined that the PMU (Power Management Unit - I think the "U" is for "unit" anyway), was corrupted or not working properly, so too much power was being used for tasks that shouldn't have used up so much power.
They replaced my unit, it may or or may not be a refurbished unit, although it looks new and was manufactured on a later date than the one I brought in.
The Geniuses were very helpful and didn't just turn me away saying to "turn down the brightness or turn off WiFi when not in use" which I do anyway.

Lose full screen when streaming movies

Lately when streaming netflix my screen minimizes on it's own.If I click on full screen it comes right back.The intervals are random.It just started doing this and I don't think I added anything to my computer that caused this.

Please start your own topic, instead of resurrecting a 3 year old topic...
State your operating system & version (32-bit or 64-bit), web browser & version (32-bit or 64-bit), as well as the exact symptoms you experience ("cant" tells nothing to me).

My internet speed keeps to be occupied when streaming video and closing the broswer!!

My internet speed is fully occupied when streaming a video and going to different points in it (walking through it) then close the tab the speed still occupied even if I close the broswer !!!! (also tried on firefox and chrome), Iam running fresh installation of windows 8.1 enterprise (updated) and my browser versions "firefox 29, chrome 34.0.1847.131m" and flash player 13,0,0,206 and only way till now to stop this is to disable and then re-enable connection from network and sharing center in windows . what's wrong! what should I do?

What you NEED to understand is that Flash Player is ONLY a plug-in for your browser.
It ONLY functions when there is Flash content in a page and ONLY when that content is called into play by a user action (you clicked Play or visited a page where the content was set to "auto play").
If your system is downloading data AFTER you've closed the browser (and subsequently terminated the plug-in), whatever is causing that download is OUTSIDE of your browser and OUTSIDE of Flash Player.
Think of it this way. You have a Blu-Ray movie playing and suddenly... there's a loud screeching sound coming from your stereo. So you stop the movie - the sound continues. You eject the BR disc - the sound continues. You disconnect the BR player - the sound continues. You turn the TV off - the sound continues. You disconnect the TV from the stereo - the sound continues. The sound CANNOT be coming from a source that is completely disabled. Flash player is like the BR Player, your browser like the TV. The data download is like the annoying sound. Something in your OS... be it a setting or even malware... is causing the download of data because a terminated browser and a terminated plug-in cannot cause it.

Video pauses when streaming from ix2-dl from windows or WD Live TV

When streaming music videos or any video from my Lenovo ix2-DL to my WD Live TV or PC the videos play but then pause then will pick up a bit further down. In Windows if I refresh my Explorer window it acts like the share isn't there then it reconnects and the video will continue to play. Reboot of computer doesn't fix this. And since this also happens when streaming to my WD Live TV it's not related to windows.
Firmware Version:4.0.8.23976
Status is fine. No errors.
Media Sharing is enabled on all shared folders.
Media Server is enabled.
Media aggregation is disabled because I don't want it to scan my other computers for content etc.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nevermind. I believe it has to do with the .flv extension on videos I stream. I didn't notice it before because I would just stream them to my computer. If I stream mp4 they work fine, but the flv extension doesn't work. Those videos will pause every so often while streaming to my wd live tv.
Time to convert a bunch of movies.
Thanks and you can close this out.

How do I get the menu to go away when streaming to full screen view it's driving me crazy and it didn't used to happen

This never happened when streaming from netflix but now I am streaming from HBO Go, and it also happens on democracy now! news and other shows. Did I hit the wrong key somewhere it seems like a minor complaint but it just drives me crazy. As a side note when I recently watched the steve jobs memorial it streamed perfectly in full screen. Any suggestions. I have a macbook with OS 10.6.7 THANKS:)

Try a reset:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
If successful, go to Settings>General>Usage...start deleting.

Reproducable Kernel Panic when streaming via Mplayer X or VLC (27" iMac, ATI5750)

Since Lion (and yes, I did install 10.7.1) I have an odd behavior:
When streaming von my Dreambox to VLC or Mplayer X I get a Kernel Panic after 5-15 Minutes. Everytime. Always.
I have a iMac 27" 2.8 i5, 8GB Memory, and an ATI 5750 (1024MB). And right now - I hate my Mac. I whish I NEVER updated to that bugged beta software you call OS X Lion. Don't get me wrong - I use macs since the G3 processor and loved the machines .. until Lion.

Updating this to know that I have determined that the kernel panic is being caused by a Kernel extension. I found it in System/Library/Extensions/. I deleted the Instant On entry and everything is all file. I hope this helps someone else out with a kernel extension kernel panic issue for their mac!
