HT1338 question: videos stop and start playing, don't run continuous

What can I do to make downloaded videos work properly> Right now, they start and stop every few seconds.

Depending on the format of the video it may play better with VLC media player. VLC seems to play anything.
Of course if you're DLing while playing it is buffering.

  • Video stopping and starting on macbook pro

    All video stops and starts and takes forever to play. What can I do?

    You posted in the iMac forum. Even though the issue could be the same on either Mac, you might try the MBP forum for better help.

  • Videos stop and start

    I've got a fast computer w/plenty of ram. I can watch videos from all other sources perfectly smooth, including Quicktime HD movie trailers.
    When I try to watch a video in iTunes it slows my computer down so much that besides the videos stopping and starting, my mouse won't even move smoothly.
    It worked fine until a couple of weeks ago.

    Phyllis-
    One reason is that your internet connection is not fast enough to keep up with the video.  You may find that when it gets to the end of the video and has fully downloaded, it will replay without stopping.

  • Videos stopping and starting.

    YYou tube and sky go stopped working properly from one day to the next. The videos stop and start every two minutes. There is a spinning icon next to the wifi icon when this happens. Why?

    Well, ipad 1 has not got the best wifi. Your iPad may be lagging (because it's old) and can't cope with video playback. maybe it's time for a better ipad?

  • Buffered videos stop and start

    I am trying to watch online video and tv. The video streaming stops and starts. It can be youtube, vimeo, or a television show online -- same poor result. I have a very slow connection. Knowing this, I always wait for the video to buffer -- there is always a greyed buffered bar well ahead of where I am watching. The video still stops and starts. Is this a connection issue or something else? Thanks.

    T1 that is brutally slow, but I had hoped that despite how slow the connection is, the buffering would eventually get it downloaded. So even though its buffering, the slow T1 can still make the videos stop and start?

  • Podcasts and tv shows videos stop and start when playing.  The Audio flows fine, but video freezes for a moment and continues.  Do you know what I can do to fix?

    When watching a podcast or tv program on itunes the video freezes and starts.  The audio still flows just fine.  Do you know what the solution might be?

    The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
    No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
    I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

  • Video stops and starts

    Sometimes video streaming makes images stop and start every 2 minutes or so,  and although it doesn't always happen the problem it's getting worse. Is there any way of fixing it? Thanks

    Do a Speedtest, you need at least 4Mbps to stream nicely.

  • Stop and Start play from iPod - fine from HD library

    I use an iMac G5/2ghz/1.5G at my office. I installed upgrades this morning for both iTunes and Tiger, and now, when I connect my iPod to play through iTunes, I get the stop and start stutter play.
    I ripped files off the iPod and put them into the hard drive library, and those play fine, but anything that's playing through the iPod is stuttered.
    FYI - it's a third gen 20G iPod, connected via Firewire, with v2.3 software.
    This Mac is authorized to play everything on my iPod, and it was all working fine before the upgrade - so, any ideas?
    (Please help - I can't stand listening to local radio with commercials, and the bandwidth police will close in on my for listening to streaming...)
    Thanks.

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • Videos stopping and starting every three to five seconds

    I am having problems downloading videos from U Tube and msn. I can't even download videos from the Apple Site. The videos from U Tube stop and start every 3 to 5 seconds. They resume after 3 to 5 seconds. I have downloaded the latest version of QuickTime. I have gone into preferences-advanced and changed the transport setup to custom; set transport protocol to http and post to 80. I have also clicked on the streaming tab; set the speed to one lower than the ISP connection and move th enable instant on slider 2-3 bars from the left. What else can I try?

    There is currently no official version of MSN Messenger for Mac that supports video, unfortunately-- you might try aMSN instead, but I haven't used it myself so can't comment on the video support:

    However, the built-in camera works fine for me on Skype (and Yahoo last time I tried, which was a while ago), which suggests something else might be wrong somewhere...

  • Stop song before it officially stops and start playing next one

    Hey there, I've started using spotify premium some days ago and I love the Fade function.Unfortunetaly, I mostly hear quiet music which fades out around ten seconds before the other song starts. So the fade function just fades from silence to the next song and not from the previous song to the next song. Can I say that a song or songs in general stop (and fade together with the next one) around five seconds before they normally would? Thanks in advance!

    i ALSO am experiencing something similar to this on 2 separate MacBook Pro's.
    Playing itunes through airplay to applyTV and it will just.... i wanna say like looses connection?!?!?!

  • Simple question?  - stop and start code

I'm guessing that you're trying to do some CPU-intensive animation processing on the EDT (event dispatch thread). You probably need to do some of your labor-intensive processing in a background worker thread. A SwingWorker object might work well for you. If you look at the api for this and search the forum you'll get an idea on what it does and some sample code. If this doesn't help, then you may do well to post a compilable subsection of your code, or SSCCE. Read up on posting SSCCEs here:

  • Youtube loading bar is not responding and the videos stop and start re-loading again and it doesn't move again.

    When I start loading a video, it either load the entire bar and freezes or it freezes while in the middle. When it tries to load again it just won't start and I have to refresh but it still freezes up. Also when I try to pause the vide it doesn't respond as well.
