HT1491 bufferring is occuring when watching movies

please help me - just downloaded our first movie and it keeps stopping

Buffering while watching videos is usually caused by an internet connection that is too slow. Contact your internet service provider to learn if they have options for faster service.

  • My "Apple TV" is hooked up via HDMI to my Marantz receiver.  Everything works fine when watching movies.  When trying to watch a show or listen to music, there is no sound.  Has this happened to anyone else?

    Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
    It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.

  • Freezing video when watching movie on 2nd monitor.

    Freezing fregrently for a second video when watching movie with ful screen option.
    OSX 10.6.8 system.
    MacBook pro 3,1
    2.2 GHZ
    memory 4GB
    NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

    You won't be able to do it with the included QuickTime media player. But it can be done with other media players like MPlayer or VLC I am pretty sure. Haven't had this exact need myself but have seen other similar threads and recall the above being recommended. Good luck.

  • Air Screen Dims when watching movies

    Hi all! This is a stupid question. I've just purchased a new macbook air 11.6 in and when watching movies (not in ful screen) the screen dims, Im assuming because of inactivity with keyboard, etc. I dont like to watch all movies in full screen, so how do I change the settings to allow for longer 'inactive' times? Meaning, I don't want the screen to dim after only 5 minutes. Thanks!

    In System Preferences > Energy Saver > uncheck "Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep"
    Also adjust the sleep timer to suit.

  • When watching movie on ATP2 the display of computer never sleeps

    When watching movies on ATV2 the display of computer will not go to sleep. After fiddling with setting both on computer as well as ATV2 the problem still persists. This coincidentally happened after lastest upgrade never had the problem with last firmware. Is anybody having the same problems?.

    when the computer fall asleep it power down it's harddisk and it's netcard
    so you would likely be more bothered if it did fall asleep because then you're atv2 would
    lose the access to the media if you play media from your shared itune lib

  • How do I make my screen look better when watching movies?

    I notice when I watch movies on my Macbook that there are negative parts when I'm sitting on an angle. Is there any way to solve this through calibrating it or the right lighting. This doesn't happen on my sister's older Powerbook G4 that has a matte screen.

    Try not watching it on an angle and also try recalibrating it. Play around with the calibration until you find a setting that looks good for movies. Then save it. You can switch to it whenever you watch movies then.

  • Bad sound when watching movies etc..

    Hi,
    I bought an Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable @ ebay a while back, and recently Ive started using it with my macbook air (running OS X Mountain Lion)
    I have this hooked up to my receiver and the image quality is superb, but the sound is not that great..
    I often use to watch movies (.mkv files) and all movies have very poor sound quality. Even when its DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1..
    Have someone experienced something like this?

    Anyone ???? I doubt I am the only one who have had this problem..

  • When watching movies on my iPad with headphones (they're Bose so good quality) on an airplane I can barely hear the sound with everything turned up--any suggestions to increase sound level outside of normal volume adjustments?  thanks for the help

    When watching a movie on my iPad 2 with headphones (they're Bose so good quality) on a plane I can barely hear even with volume at highest level--any suggestions on how to increase sound level outside of normal settings-sound level even lower when using a splitter--thanks

    Same problem with all headphones and earbuds--just checked settings and Volume Limit was already off--starting to think it's a volume system flaw tied to videos and related sound.   No problem getting plenty of sound volume for music, only videos. 

  • [SOLVED] Older NVIDIAs - (quite poor) performance when watching movies

    I'd like to ask what packages and configuration you use to achieve the best performance for NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, mainly for watching movies. I've come to this observation:
    Global parameters
    NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 (AGP 4x, 128 MB)
    1680x1050, 60 Hz
    Pentium 4 2.4 GHz, 1 GB RAM
    SMPlayer 0.6.9 (SVN r3447)
    Used video: 1280 x 720, 23.976 FPS, fullscreen
    Windows XP (SP2):
    Driver: 16. 5. 2008 (version 6.14.11.7519)
    MPlayer SVN r30369
    Output method: directx(fast)
    Video: fluent
    Ubuntu 11.04:
    Driver: nvidia-173 (probably, Ubuntu is so confusing)
    MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.5.2
    Output method: xv
    Video: fluent but often with a diagonal break
    Arch Linux:
    Driver: nouveau
    MPlayer SVN r34426
    Output method: xv
    Video: goes to few FPS after a minute

    I'm not an A/v guy, but I think you can encode stuff in different ways and that might make a difference, so just because I haven't had any problems with 720p doesn't mean you're doing something wrong, maybe you're viewing higher-quality material.
    I don't get choppy video even when I'm maxing-out the cpu.
    mplayer --framedrop -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all
    is the magic incantation I use to view some 720p stuff on my other PC which has just and old, unsupported integrated Intel card. I get "almost-fluent but often with a diagonal break" video.
    Yes, this not 30fps 720p anymore, so I'm cheating ;P

    Not really.

  • IPad volume too low on Apple TV when watching movies

    Hi.
    I have the latest Apple TV, 3rd Gen iPad and Retina MacBook Pro.  If I play any movie through Apple TV using my iPad (using Video App) the volume is often far too low.  This means that I have to turn my Amp/Speakers up (to around +60; +40 is normal) often leading to the sound cutting out altogether and on one occassion blew my amp.
    However, I can put the identical film/file on my MacBook Pro - stream that into my Apple TV and the volume outputs at +40 as normal and everything is fine.
    Also - If I stream TV etc through the iPad and play it onto my Apple TV - again this can be heard no problems at +40.  The same can be said if I stream a youtube video using the iPad (+40 is fine)
    I can only conclude there is something amiss with my iPad or in partic the Video App/settings for films but have no idea how to remedy it.
    Pls can someone help me sort this as my Macbook pro is often left in the office and so I cant use it to watch movies at home all the time
    Thanks

    Have you tried checking or resetting your volume limiter under "music" from the Settings home page.  Scroll down to "Music" and tap "Volume Limit".  Once there you can either turn it off or raise the maximum volume.  If you go to the max it will just turn off the limiter.
    Here's a video from CNET that also explains this easy adjustment.

  • Does the Apple TV use data when watching movies or TV shows?

    Does Apple TV use data while watching movies and TV shows with iPad air or iPhone 5?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That largely depends on the Apple TV setting at settings > airplay. The Apple TV can download the content from the internet (if available) or from you iPads storage depending on whether you have it set to play from iTunes in the cloud or not.
    Of course if you don't have the content on the iPad, it will download it from the the internet and if you do and choose not to use the iTunes in the cloud feature it may use a small amount of data confirming your authorisation to play it.
