I cannot watch live stream from NBC live extra using Safari

Hi, I have a macbook pro with mountain lion, safari v6.0 and google chrome v21.0.1180.57.
I cannot watch live stream on nbc live extra in safari, it gave me a black screen, however, I copy the same link and paste in chrome I could watch the live stream with no problem. I checked several threads but still didn't work out.
Can some one tell me why and how to make it work?
Thanks,
Tianyi

I cannot watch tutorial videos on Apple's website using Safari.

Does anyone know what's going on with Safari? I've attached two screenshots: one with the video issue and the other one with my Safari version.
Ps:. Using Google Chrome or Firefox the video runs okay.

There are some Safari Extensions that prevent the Apple tutorials from streaming. And since you can view the video in Chrome and Firefox, that just might be it.
From your Safari menu bar at the top of your screen click Safari. From the drop down menu click Preferences.
Select the Extensions tab.
If you have any installed, turn that OFF.
Quit then relaunch Safari.
Try one of the Apple vidoes.

E Mac too old to watch Video streaming from web?

Hi good folks of Apple world. I am having an 'issue' with my eMac 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 with 1 GB DDR SRAM. Mac OS X Version 10.4.11.
Apart from a problem with the logic board (fixed under extended warranty) this has been an amazingly reliable machine. My problem now is video related, I cannot watch video streaming on the web, The feed is jerky and broken. In the UK my family watch the BBC i Player a lot. Something happened a few months ago after a security update, because before that I could watch the i Player, now we cannot. The same thing happens when trying to watch music video etc. I use Safari and Firefox, for a while we could almost watch video using Firefox, but now it's as bad as Safari.
Is it just that my Mac is too old? I heard that the BBC were not 'supporting' Apple product?
When watching video feed from the web at work, on a PC everything works fine?
Love to hear any informed comment?
Regards, Alister

There's a variety of reasons for this problem...
Flash - Flash is bad. One possible solution is to downgrade to v9 of Flash, as it seems to run better on these machines.
Speed - yeah, the CPU isn't real current, so it's probably a bit of a factor - but in reality - I can watch any AVI/MOV etc, without a problem. Its only when I try to watch HD content that my eMac struggles. So, I really don't think the CPU/computer as such is to blame.
Websites - YouTube for example, is rotten for making their site full of crap that your eMac is having to deal with as well as play the video you are trying to watch. Stuff like telling you how to buy the song that's playing in the video... or other advertising crap etc. That all doesn't help.
BBC - I'm not familiar with the BBC's iView software/website, but for one thing, I'd be writing back and formally lodging a complaint that they don't support Apple Mac. That's poor.
One option, painful though, is to use Safari to load the video page, then look in the Activity Log to find the video file, double click it, and download it direct to your computer. Then watch it that way using something like "VLC".

Cannot watch any videos from Youtube

I bought a EA3500 router and the setup went fine. I have two computers on the network and both have acces to the Internet. But on one of them which runs Windows 7 and MCAfee Antivirus I cannot watch any videos from Youtube. On the other one which runs Windows XP all videos are running great. I've check the firmware version and it is the last one. I've try to disable the firewall in McAfee and it still does not work. Can someone help me. Thank you Artofmontreal

Are you still on the classic firmware or are you using cisco connect cloud? It might have something to do with the media prioritization. As long as you did not prioritize a certain device or computer over another, the router should allow all devices to stream.

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

Cannot watch live streaming video

I am trying to use Quick Time to watch live streaming video. However, when I click on the link, I get the following sequence:
"Negotiating"
"Waiting for media"...with a countdown
"Switching transports"...this goes on for a long time
"Disconnected"
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quick Time and the problem persists. Any suggestions for this techno-laggard? Thanks!

Here is the link: http://dev.centralsynagogue.org/index.php/worship/multimedia/streaming/
However, the streaming only happens at 6 p.m. on Friday evenings and 10:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings.
Some additional information:
Although I initially get a "Connecting" message (at the appointed hour), it then changes to "Switching Transport" and then to "Disconnected." Alternately, if I try to copy the URL from the website into the Quick Time "Open URL" option on the File menu, I get an error message that says, Error 47, Invalid URL.
Very frustrating...any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

HDCP error - cannot watch any HD from Mac Mini

Since the recent iTunes update I cannot seem to watch any HD videos on my Mac Mini.
I have a VGA monitor connected via the minidisplayport with an adapter
Also have a TV also connected by home theater amp (NAD) connected via HDMI
I *used to* be able to watch these videos on either monitor or Tv but this stopped working with the most recent iTunes,
I have already tried deauthorizing and deauthorizing my iTunes.
Any other ideas? (I do not have nor do I want an Apple TV)

I am having the exact same issue. I have Windows 7, the HDCP components are installed, never had an issue like it in the past, but suddenly I cannot watch any HD content.

WD TV stream from My Cloud without use of computer

I have a WD MY Cloud. I also have an older WD TV Live (maybe 5 years old). Is there any firmware update that will allow me to stream images, music & videos directly from the My Cloud to the WD TV Live without the use of a computer? If that's not possible, will the newer model WD TV do it? On one of WD's hype pages they state that it will, but I want to make sure before I shell out more money.

This seems to have changed lately. I just had 2.4GB free on my phone and noticed something strange. When I turned on "show all videos" and then "streamed" one of my films, I got a notice pop up telling me I was out of storage! I went into settings and looked in general > about and low and behold my 2.4 had gone down to 0. I then unchecked "show all videos" in video settings and bingo my storage popped back up to 2.4GB. I tried this on my iPad too with exactly the same results. It seems it doesn't truly stream the content, it background downloads a file that is hidden behind the GUI and plays from this file. We're tricked into thinking it's streaming because it starts playing right away but this is just because it's a file type that supports QuickStart, so the device doesn't have to wait for the file to complete before it can play.
This to me is a real shame as the big benefit for many would have been to play content over wifi that they have purchased but don't have on the device at the time due to space issues. Whether it's always been like this and nobody else has noticed, or if it's changed in the way it works lately I don't know.
True streaming from iTunes to iOS would be an awesome feature. Maybe apple don't want to give up the bandwidth on it's servers with a world of people streaming.
Discuss!

Netflix netflix streaming from iPad to hgtv using VGA cord not working on TV. It's fine on the iPad but an error message says to turn off mirroring in airplay. Don't know what to do.

Netflix streaming from iPad to hgtv via VGA cable not working. Message says to turn off mirroring in airplay, but I don't know what that is or how to turn it off. Any help?

Try resetting the iPad (hold the home and power buttons down until the Apple logo appears).

Ever since updating to Mountain Lion, I cannot watch live streams.

Hey, since updating to ML, something seems to be interrupting how Flash is working.
I am unable to see live video streams in the browser.
When I try to use VOKLE, for example, it seems to load fine and then I get an error from Vokle telling me to make sure I have an internet connection and allow RTMP traffic. Same story with Stickam, it connects but then shows me a blank screen.
I've tried:
Reinstalling Flash and messing with the settings (allow storage of data etc.).
Chrome and Safari
Disabling OS X Firewall & Sophos
Nothing seems to work, I haven't had this problem with Lion and I am pulling my hair out!
MSN messenger refuses to sign in also, this seems related to me maybe, it just tries for a long time then fails.
It seems like there is something blocking incoming connections BUT WHAT?
Thanks.

Same problem with Windows 7 using boot camp! O:

ATV2 resets while watching movies streaming from itunes

I have movies that are located on my Mac Mini and I am streaming them via itunes to my ATV2. While watching them on the ATV2 about 30-40 minutes in the movie, the movie will stop and the ATV2 will reset. I will initially act as if in cannot connect to the network or the mac mini. Then it will find them and connect. At which point you can navigate back to the movie and watch it, until it happens again in 20-30 minutes.

I found exactly the same problem and discovered the issued disappeared when I "quit" all "downloading" programs whilst watching TV via ATV2. The issue was particularly frequent when i was watching while downloading using my torrent client (utorrent). Quitting this resulted in a immediate an permanent improvement provided the torrent client remained closed. Interestingly it did not seem to affect, to the same degree listening to music through iTunes while downloading!
After experimenting I also noted that the problem existed, albeit less frequently, when i was downloading movies from the iTunes store. I experimented with a variety of Apple and non-Apple routers and ethernet cables. As long as i was downloading there was an issue using the ATV. For what its worth I also noted that when the ATV2 went awry it also occasionally coincided with a temporary outage on my ADSL connection. After all the experimenting i have concluded its the ATV2 that is the route cause and not the router/network arrangement etc.
Anyone want to try fixing the problem this way? i cant believe that its a coincidence.
