I cant stream video's or watch bbc iplayer etc, just keepts buffering, any ideas

i cant watch iplayer etc as it keeps buffering. any ideas how to speed up as it wasn't like this when i bought it

Several thoughts (WAGs, actually).
I wonder if that's a characteristic of iPlayer (I don't use it) in that it won't play until the entire video downloads. Does this happen with other apps?
This may be the Reset that you've already done but I want to be certain. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Streaming video issues i.e BBC iplayer and Youtube with Firmware 3.1.2

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me with a particular problem.I bitterly regret installing 3 as all it has done is added some shake and shuffle nonsense that I never use, and a voice memo thing that I never use. It has also slowed the boot up of the device and also where video streams from the above for example used to play without interruption, now i constantly have the device pause and have the play touch control come up, i press play and it will continue for a few seconds and then freeze again. It has got to the stage where using BBC iplayer and youtube has become frustrating and impossible and it only has started after version 3 firmware was installed. It is an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen bought in Jan this year. With version two the videos played consistently and smoothly. Why do I now have this problem and why do apple encouraged the use of update software that retards the performance of the device. What benefits does it have? Should I continue updating this device or can I ask apple to restore version 2 to the device which ran much better!

It's not the 3.x software per se, it's how it is interacting with your wireless network. If you haven't done so, download and install the latest firmware for your router and make sure your network is providing the speed and stability you need. Solve that and your YouTube problems will be less.

How do I watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with flash player 10.1

I was able to watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with Firefox. I can now only watch full screen with IE.
Why can I not watch iPlayer in full screen with Firefox anymore?
== After Flashplayer 10.1 installed

I have tried in safe mode and as expected it makes no difference. I am still not able to view in full screen like IE it just shows a blank white screen. I was able to view full screen with the same extensions before so removing them has not made any difference.
Thank you for your reply anyway.

Can I watch bbc iplayer from my iPad to my tv?

Can I watch bbc iplayer from my iPad to my tv?

Hi Try Mirror on iPad and Apple tv but you may only get small picture on tv. Cheers Brian

I was watching bbc iplayer and my ipod touch crashed. it has a white blank screen so I tried to link it up to Itues but even Itunes doesn't recognise my Ipod. Help!!!!!!

I was watching BBC Iplayer and my ipod crashed. I now have a white screen and it won't even sync to Itunes. I have tried to reset it by pressing the home button for 10 seconds and it is still the same.

Try the white-screen topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Next try letting the battery fully drain and then charge for an hour and try again. Frequently a white screen is due to a hardware problem

Yoga 3 pro cant stream video on external display or laptop

Saw a previous post on this, didnt seem like it was fixed. Having real issues with hooking up to an external display, when the web browser (chrome) is extended to the external display, my internet lags hard...i cant even stream a vid on youtube.
I've disabled realtek (fixed cracking speakers) tried a completely new cord set up from micro hdmi to dvi...nothing works. When i drag the browser window back to the laptop screen, it works fine.
Ok, 5 min follow up: it seems im now having the similar issue with streaming video on my laptop screen....sound streams fine, the video seems to shake back and forth very quickly, runs, then shakes again...seems to only happen intermittenltly on the laptop...but display shows real lag and shake.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you tried changing the screen resolution on the Yoga to something lower than what it is set on? A 1080i screen has a resolution of 1,920 × 1,080, my Yoga 3 Pro has a default resolution of 3200 x 1800. I have not tried connecting my Y3P to the TV yet, but the conversion could be causing an issue.

Cant Stream video from NBC, ABC, etc

I have not been able to stream video from sites that stream via quicktime like NBC, ABC, etc. All other fellow iphine users at work can access them but not me. we have the same sw version, but I have the edge network, not 3G. I have also not been able to view quicktime streams on my local wifi. what gives?

Have you tried:
1. Reset (hold the sleep/wake & home button until the Apple logo appears)
2. Emptying the cache/cookies in Safari Settings
3. Restore in iTunes
4. making an appointment at the Genius Bar for help

Cant stream video sound from ITunes to stereo via Airport Express

I'm using a PC with wireless (Centrino 802.11g) with Itunes (Latest release 7.0.0.70) and for some reason the sound from Itunes video will not stream wirelessly to my stereo connected to my AirPort Express.
When the video is embedded in an Itunes playlist of MP3s, the sound will work fine through the AirPort Express with the MP3 tracks, but will toggle over to the PC speakers for the video.
Any ideas gratefully received?

Airtunes actually only support MP3/AAC audio streaming from iTunes. That's too bad for video.
The things is, even with other Airtunes streaming software, the streaming delay is such that the song will be off by a few second from the video. I guess Apple have choose to do not stream video sound until this may be resolve.
Therefore, I'm not aware of any solution to this issue.

PS3mediaServer on Arch - Cant stream video!

I have PMS folder is in /opt/PMS
When I start the program by being in the directory /opt/PMS and write sh PMS.sh or ./PMS.sh everything works perfectly and I can stream video to my ps3.
But if I start the program by being in /home and type sh /opt/PMS/PMS.sh the program also start fine, but I get errors when I stream video. My tsMuxer is set to execute..
And get the same error in the automatic start of sessions...
What I want is that the program starts automatically and I can stream movies from all folders. All my movies are in 4 different NTFS disks.
Hope there is someone who can help

Is this on Linux? Any reason why you want the streaming to be done on Linux? I don't know how much of a hit NTFS reading takes on Linux, but keep in mind it still is run through fuse - so it's not like you're gonna get the performance of a native Linux FS. I know it does not matter much as long as it's XviD/DivX, but with stuff like x264 (which can be contained in MP4, and which the PS3 can understand)...
It would be handy if you could post some of the errors you get. Just describing them makes them pretty hard to solve - and to google .
As for launching it: check some of the files in /etc/rc.d/, you can get an idea how it works and use one of those to base your own service script on, that you can add to the DAEMONS array if it works (try and test it first).
As for a media server, I use mediatomb myself to stream to my PS3. Never had a single problem with it. It has a PKGBUILD in AUR afaik, and it runs clean - even better: it has a service .

Green Screen on all online video's including dwnloading BBC Iplayer videos

I have a HP 15-g094sa Notebook PC with an AMD Radeon(TM) R5 Graphics card. I am finding i cant wach any videos online or watch downloads from BBC Iplayer. I have clicked on the settings, advanced and accelaerated graphics and it makes no difference what so ever. If i had known i'd have this problem i would never have bought a HP laptop.
Im also finding that when i type the laptop is unable to keep up with what i type and missing letters or symbols regularly this is also very annoying especially as someone who can type at a reasonable speed. I shouldnt have to stop to read it just to make sure the letters are al typing.
I would like solutions to both these problems please.

Can't watch BBC iPlayer on my iPhone

iPhone 3g, firmware 2.2: when I tap on the play video button on BBC iplayer, media player is seemed to load but everytime the same error message comes out "this video could not be played"! Do I need to download any software to get iplayer work on my phone? I got my phone from Hong Kong and i'm using Virgin SIM, I wonder does it have anything to do with the SIM...please help!

No, you don't need extra software to view the BBC iPlayer on your iPhone and even if you did you wouldn't be able to download and install it because the iPhone doesn't work like that.
I suspect your problem lies with the fact you're using a jailbroken iPhone.
You pay your money, you take your chances.

Upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7.4 and cannot watch bbc iplayer, upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7.4 and cannot watch bbc iplayer

Unable toplay itv or bbc iplayer since my upgrade to this OS X 10.7.4
Please healp!
It works well on my ipad....

For pdzach:
Buy a suitably-sized external HD (allow for future increase of your internal data), preferably firewire but a USB drive will work. (Although it used to be that some USBs won't boot a Mac, but my 5-year-old SATA ex-internal in a USB case works OK, as do LaCie drives).
Download Carbon Copy Cloner (search for it). Its free (donations invited). I have used it for years, 100% reliable, and SuperDuper is also said to be good.
CCC is very easy to use. It asks you for the source disc (your Internal system HD) and the target disc (your new external). Press a button and it takes about an hour the first time, less later. Meanwhile, you can continue to use the computer.
The result is a bootable copy of everything (and that means every single thing) of your internal HD. For example, you can specify that copy as the start-up disk, or more commonly, hold the option key down when restarting the computer and when asked, choose the copy. Restarting on the clone can take me back to exactly where I was at 7 am that day. A huge life-saver. The loss of an internal HD without a backup (and it happened twice to me but I had a clone) would cause huge disruption.
I have CCC set to make a bootable copy at 7 am every day. If my HD failed in some way, I could get bace to exactly where I was at 7 am that morning.
I also have Time Machine set up, but it has failed three times and I would only use it to recover a recent file or two.
Another thought: When upgrading the computer's OS, I make another clone of the old system, just in case the new OS installation fails (or better, I install the new OS when booted on a very recent clone, so I can ditch the clone if the installation fails and return to the old OS on the internal). Also, I have a bootable copy of Snow Leopard for the remaining old software that will not run on Lion.

Whenever I try to stream radio (pls or m3u) a program in MS Office opens instead of streaming. I've tried reinstalling both Office and iTunes. Any ideas?

Whenever I try to stream radio (pls or m3u), instead of streaming the computer opens a program in MS Office. I've tried re-installing both Office and iTunes, but that did not fix the problem. Any ideas about a solution?

You need to right (or Control) click on your playlist file and select "Get Info."
Then in the Get Info Dialog go to the Open with section and select the app
(like VLC or iTunes) that you want to open when you double click on the
playlist. You can click on the Change All button if you want all files of the
same type to launch with the same app.
