IPad Xfinity App Continuously Pauses When Streaming Videos

Just as the topic title states. It continuously freezes even though I have full reception bars, and my speed test hits 24.5mbps download and 4.25mbps upload.
Does anyone else have this problem? And does anyone know of any way to handle this problem?
Btw, I'm really close to the router as well.

I have the same problem while streaming live tv. Even when close to the Xfinity router with all wifi bars showing. It continuously pauses either video and audio or sometimes just audio. Often the audio is out of sync with the video. Try deleting the app, then reinstalling it from app store. Good luck!

Apple TV disconnects when streaming video from iMac.

I am using my Apple TV to stream video from my iMac to my TV using AirPlay display. Every 5 minutes or so, it disconnects. The video freezes on the TV but will continue playing on the iMac. Then after a few seconds it disconnects completely and the apple TV will return to the menu screen and I then have to reconnect. I also have noticed that it only disconnects when streaming video. I'm able to use the Airplay to display what's on my computer screen and it works fine without disconnecting. I have no issues with the connectivity of my internet, there is always a full signal. I've been searching for answers on this and have found similar issues have happened to other users but none of the suggestions have worked so far.
Very frustrated... please help!

What is described above is a network issue. Troubleshoot the network.

Intermittant audio static/distortion when streaming video

New member seeking solution to an annoying problem. When
streaming video sites such as Youtube, MSN videos, and other video
sites, the audio has intermittent static, much like a radio station
that isn't fully tuned in. I have a laptop with an external sound
card, and it does it through it hooked to a small stereo system, as
well as the laptop's built-in soundcard and speakers. I have
updated the Flash player, and tried completely uninstalling and
reinstalling the sound drivers. Next thing, I am going to totally
uninstall Adobe Flash and try reinstalling it to see if it takes
care of the problem. By the way, it does it with both Internet
Exploder and Firefox. Any suggestions are welcome.
Sincerely,
John

The same thinks happens to me,
Thank you.

Why does mirroring with airplay always stop when streaming videos?

When streaming video on my iPhone 4s with OS 7.1

When streaming video on my iPhone 4s with OS 7.1 the sound is fine but the video is like watching a slide show. What's causing this?

Thank you but I got that figured out. The issues is in that the text from incoming Emails are so small it is difficult to read. If you increase the font size using what you suggested, incoming is easier to read but when you compose a new email it is like getting far fewer words on the screen because the text is so large.
Something changed in the new version of the operating system!

My Macbook turns off randomly after being on for a while and usually occurs when streaming video on netflix or something. I think it is overheating. Any thoughts?

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.

Video Playback Pauses when streaming from iTunes to itunes

Hi,
I have a 2011 iMac running OS X Mavericks Server and I use this as my main iTunes library computer. I also have a 2013 (latest model) MacBook Air running Mavericks. My WiFi network comprises of 2x Airport Express's, both the latest models and configured for both 2.4ghz & 5ghz frequencies.
Using Home Sharing, I like to stream video from my iMac's iTunes library to my MacBook Air. The problem is that playback pauses every few minutes. The only way to resume playback is to close the video window and open the video again. This problem occurs regardless of video quality (SD, 720 or 1080) and on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi settings... On the odd occasion this problem doesn't happen at all.
I experienced this problem before upgrading to mavericks so I don't think its mavericks related. And I don't experience this playback issue when streaming to ipad mini, iphone, or apple tv... It only happens when streaming from imac to macbook air...
Please help if you have a solution.

Try:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://localhost:8554/test.sdp -acodec copy -vcodec copy -re -f flv "rtmp://168.187.121.71/livepkgr/mystream&adbe-live-event=liveevent"
I don't strream ffpmeg from my source, but I stream h264 from my source, and this works when transcoding.
Hope this helps!

Ipad Air drops wifi when streaming videos, browsing. iPhone 4S fine

I recently bought an ipad air.
I have been experiencing numerous problems regarding the wifi connection and I have contacted apple support twice about it but I thought I'd ask here before returning my device for a refund.
Basically, ipad air is behaving inferior to all my other apple devices.
Problems:
Wifi drops randomly and sometimes it comes back by relaunching the application (e.g. Safari) or sometimes I have to turn of wifi off and on again to restore connection. This especially happens when I watch streaming videos either on YouTube app or safari.
At the same time when I perform speedtests ipad air gives always mixed results most of the time being slower than my other devices (iPhone 4S , iPhone 3GS, MacBook Pro 2011).
What I have tried Already:
Resetting the network settings
Restarting the ipad and the router (bt hub5)
Switching between 2.4 and 5 ghz networks
The most important thing is that all my other devices , my iPhone 4S , my iPhone 3GS and my MacBook Pro work great in every network where the ipad air seems to either give poor performance or drop the connection randomly.
I would be happy to know if there is an issue with ipad airs that is going to be resolved with an upcoming OS update, I am patient. It would save me the hassle of returning the ipad for a refund.
Thank you so much in advance for any help.

Hi Finalizer,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have not yet done so, I recommend backing up your iPad Air and restoring the device as new:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
After the device is restored and updated to the latest version of iOS 7, test the Wi-Fi connection with Safari or another app before restoring a backup of your data.
All the best,
Jeremy

Safari slows down/freezes completely when streaming video

I do not usually have this problem, and it is not with every site. Certain sites with embedded video content (YouTube, Google Video, etc.) do not have this problem. This problem only occurs when I attempt to stream from a video link.
This is how the scenario goes almost every time:
I click the link, Safari goes to a blank page with the QuickTime symbol in the middle. Soon after (5-15 seconds), the mouse beachball occurs and Safari basically freezes. If it does not freeze, it will lock up for about 10 minutes, the fans in my Mac Mini will go wild (spinning abnormally fast as if attempting to process a very, very large app or task. It is also quite loud for any type of computer or process. This problem also occurs when Safari freezes completely) and will eventually cause my computer to lock up entirely. I have had this problem for about 5 months now, and have looked at the forums to try and solve this problem numerous times (there is no Rosetta check box on my version of Safari btw, so I could not attempt that fix; I deleted my QT plugin and restarted Safari; I attempted the various fixes with QT in System Pref and MIME pref). I would appreciate if none of those answers would be listed.
Please, if anyone has any clue how this problem works and how to fix it, let me know. This has been plaguing my computer for far too long.

I did not make myself clear enough: the link does not open a new page, but rather in the same page as the original site. In other words, the video opens and plays in Safari in the same page. I do have a program, Flip4Mac, that deals with video, but I do not believe it affects QT movies because it apparently only deals with .wmv files and not .mpeg or .mpg files. My QT is also Pro, by the way.
When I stream the movies (if this is considered streaming), I let them download fully in Safari before playing them. I know when the video is beginning to load because a preview (screenshot, per say) of the beginning of the video appears and the QT menu (status bar, play/pause buttons, etc.) appears around the video. Unfortunately, Safari usually never gets to that point and locks up before the video even begins to load.
Also, when I adjusted the MIME settings, I messed around with the video, miscellaneous, and streaming tabs. I attempted to try each change with a restarted Safari with no luck. Are there any other MIME settings I should be looking at? If not, how else could I attempt to fix this problem? I have tried downloading the video, and it works from there, but it takes about 10 min. to download when it takes only about 30 seconds to stream/download in Safari. Thus, I would prefer it working in Safari, not only for convenience, but because I don't like problems going unsolved on my computer. Thanks to all so far for giving advice, at least.

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.

Playbook shuts down after a few mintutes when streaming Video.. how can I fix this?

Hi There, new to this forum as I just purchased the Playbook 32GB. I really like this tablet and bought the micro HDMI cable so I could hook it up to my 1080p TV. Anyway, we're streaming video on the browser and after a few mintutes the Playbook screen starts to flicker and then turns black and disconnects from my wi-fi connection.
This is quite frustrating as we like the idea of streaming movies and dramas off the tablet to our TV and being able to enjoy it witout the tablet shutting down. I understand the shut down mode is to conserve the battery's power, but this even happens when the unit is plugged in. I understand this also happens when you download things for more than 5 mintutes as well as listen to music for longer then 5 mintutes the Playbook auto shutdowns.
Can this be resolved with an ap or software upgrade provided by BlackBerry? Any suggestions on how to fix this is much appreciated!
Thanks!!!

i have not tried to stream nor do i have an account to try. my vids on playbook do play for hours though.
