Issues with video playback, messed up shuffle mode with playlist sharing

I have a Mac (10.4.7) and a PC (XP SP2)... both are running iTunes 7 downloaded on September 12. All of my media is on my PC, and I do playlist sharing with my PowerBook across mu home network. A few issues with iTunes 7 that didn't exist for me in iTunes 6.0.5:
- Video playback is like multicolored TV snow. This happens on my PC as well as when the video is shared to my Mac.
- When sharing the music to my Mac, and I'm listening in shuffle mode, many times the same song will play twice in a row.
- I've only had this happen once so far (in the last 24 hours), but again I was listening to music shared to my Mac. One song played, then started to play again for the second time in a row. The song played for about 15 seconds, then jumped into another song. After that song was over, it jumped back and played the last 15 seconds of the previous song, all while having a completely different song highlighted in iTunes with the track position set to 0:00. It was very, very odd.

Any other ideas?

Issues with video playback

Seem to be having quite a few difficulties with video playback in apps, it seems often once a video has played once it doesn't want to play again.
Can anybody explain why this is happening please?

I am having the same problem. I load a video on to my IPad. If I watch part of the video and then stop, it will not loud the video portion again. When I launch it, I hear the audio, but no picture. Just black screen. If I then unload the video file, reload it...it will work, but again only the first time. Just started happening. Not an issue with encoding as for the first 3 months I never had a single problem with any of these. Also, happens whether I load the video on my IPad or watch it streaming with AirVideo.
Any answers?

Issue with video playback

I'm having an issue where video playback drops to 1 frame per second or less. The problem occurs when I have the mouse on the same screen as the video (dual screen setup) or on the second screen.
As you can see in my information, I'm running an IBM Thinkpad T43 with a Viewsonic q20wb monitor.
Thanks for the help!

Yes, I have just used the normal Video-object together with the normal trick to load Flash Video files with it. Nothing special only with a full URL for the play()-method. I have attached the source code for your convenience. The original files are edited in Premiere Pro CS4 and are based on one original ripped DVD vob file and a newly created Quicktime-based slideshow animation which has then be edited into one using Premiere.
After that I have selected the sequence of the Premiere project which I have exported using File > Export which is using Adobe Media Encoder. For the encoding I haved used the Export Settings: "Format FLV | F4V", Codec On2 VP6 and then altered the video size and bitrate so that the file size gets smaller this is for the Alzheimer08.f4v file. The other file used the H.265 Web Medium profile with also the video size and bitrate modified after it got encoded and uploaded to my webserver.
The original files used by the Premiere Pro project are:
VTS_01_1.dv
Type: DV Stream
File Size: 2.6 GB
Image Size: 720x576
Average Data Rate: 3.4 MB/Second

Above information is obtained in Premiere Pro by selected Properties-option of the submenu when selecting the file.
Hopefully you can use this information but I could upload the original Premiere Pro project over the next few days. If you would be interested in it.

Hi, I had recently purchased ipad3 and but obviously have been having issues with heating up and some minor issues with video playback etc. Apple has agreed to replace my device. I need help in deciding whether i should get a new ipad3 or opt for ipad2. Seller is willing to replace it with ipad2 as well..
Have also heard that the ipad3 revamped version is around along with the mini pad rumor..too much information - lot's of confusion pls help

Lindsay,
Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

Problem with video playback with iTunes

Several problems :

What was the fix for this? Everything has sucked for my itunes video playback since the last major revision release.

I am having problems with video playback from the Internet such as you tube on my iPad. What's up?

I am having trouble with video playback from the Internet such as you tube. What's up?

Your video playback will also depend on your net speed. If you have slow internet, you will stream video slow. If your video stops and starts, you can try pausing it for a minute or so and then try to watch. Let more of it buffer before you try to watch.
Sometimes your connection is so slow you literally play faster than it buffers, which means it stops and stutters continually

Portege R700 - Issues with video playback with resolution over 360p

I've got this video playback issue from day one. While for instance on YouTube, videos with resolution above 360p freeze up while the sound is ok.
I've contacted Toshiba through which I got a linke to the latest bios and drivers. After the upgrade issue persists. I sometimes get a green screen while watching flash video as well. I'm guessing this is a graphic card hardware issue. Any ideas? Thanks! (Portege R700 19L, win7 pro 64)

Hello
Have you tried watching videos in high performance mode and tested different Internet browsers?

Issues with video playback on iPad 2

I have an iPad 2 (I had this issue with the iPad 1st gen. as well), and I'm having some playback issues on movies and TV shows purchased through iTunes. I've removed the movies/shows and re-synced, I'm using the cable that came with my iPad.
     The issue is that when I'm watching a movie/show, the video will freeze, get very pixelated, and then pick back up anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 minutes later in the video. I had this issue with 2 of the first gen iPads (as stated above) and took those back to the store, however my iPad 2 was a prize from a contest and cannot be returned.
     I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, but if anyone has any tips or answers about this that could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.
     Thank you.

Ok, I created this sample file by tearing some code out of a larger project. Its a little light on comments and the code could be cleaned up a lot but it works fairly well. This example uses stageVideo with a fallback to a regular netstream video object. It is based loosely on several sample stageVideo source that I found online.
When you tap on the play button in the example it first loads in a custom player container, then it converts the entire stage to a bitmap and masks this bitmap using a mask bitmap that is created from the library. This mask creates a hole through the bitmap version of the stage contents so that the stageVideo is visible. (Because stageVideo is always drawn under everything in the displaylist.)
This example also has an iOS styled player UI that I created so that it would look similar to the native video player. It has play, pause, a video scrubber and full screen mode. There is a small sample h.264 video included in the example so you can test it out and see it work. On the iPad make sure that your videos are in a folder or in the root and that the folder or files are added to the included file list for your app. Also make sure that the render mode in your app.xml file is either GPU or Direct. Beyond that if you have problems or questions let me know.

Issue with video playback in Flash Player

I am currently doing some voluntary work for my mom for the local branch of the Alzheimer Foundation. Now I have encoded a video to mpeg4/h.264 and F4V using the Adobe Media Encoder only I am having not much luck to get it successfully played. Now is my question what could I be doing wrong? I already tried to use ActionScript 2 and 3 and disabled GZIP compression on the server and even tried different files like H.264 and F4V.
The strange thing is that the video always work just fine when being tested in Flash CS4 10.2 but when I tried it in the browser it fails. The Test Movie feature of Flash is using the following player version MAC 10,0,12,36. I am using 10,0,32,14 MAC in my Safari browser and their the movie plays fine once the file is fully downloaded (how can I change this?) only when let friends try it out which have version 10,0,32,18 or the same version it doesn't work for them. Also when I am using an older version doesn't seem to work. I thought that H.264 support was added in some version of Flash Player 9. One of the issues which I was getting that the video playback worked lovely in Test Movie with the below listed alzheimer.mp4 url but when testing after the SWF and HTML were uploaded to the webserver it failed to work and I was receiving a FileStructureInvalid error. Now I would expect that the video file would fail in Test Movie too when the video file structure is invalid.
I have tried the following video files both encoded with Adobe Media Encoder:
http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer.mp4
http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer08.f4v
The current player can be found at:
http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer.html
I have attached my As3 version of the Flash file which is normal easy video stuff.
Anyone happen to know what could be the issue here? I am getting desperate!

Magic mouse messing with video playback

Hi,
I have a really REALLY annoying problem which i can't remember ever happening until a few days ago.
If i'm watching any sort of video on youtube for example, as soon as i use the magic mouse 1 finger up/down swipe gesture to scroll the page up or down it starts interfering with the video playback, as if its trying to scroll the video. the video trys to scroll forwards/back then just stops/crashes.
Any ideas as this didn't happen before.
Thanks

no definitely not pressing any other buttons, but soon as i swipe down/up on mouse it starts messing up the video

Am I the only person who has problem with video playback ?

I'm having problems with the latest nvidia driver and it seems that nobody wrote about it on the forums.. After installing the latest nvidia driver (169.07-1), the video playback with xv selected will be played in purple and blue colours.. Generally red will not be shown.. So human faces are colored with a combination of purple and blue.. Everything is normal on the other hand.. Sound works perfectly, the movie can be watched smoothly even on fullscreen.. With x11, all players can show the colors but...
1) The movie quality in Totem is very bad then...like the image is gathered together by 3x3 pixels..
2) mplayer shows everything fine but it can't get fullscreen..
I created a nautilus script for a workaround that let's me watch the movies with fullscreen using the -fs -zoom options..
But this problem is really annoying..

1.0rc2, with some things disabled that are enabled in the Arch package (lirc, samba, and that live-media thing).
$ pacman -Qs mplayer

I should probably also mention that I'm rolling my own kernel, and as such I'm not using the package from testing. Building it manually with the PKGBUILD from ABS though so it shouldn't be any difference though.

Wierd problem with video playback getting corrupted

I have a "week 38" iPod Touch 16 that didn't exhibit any negative black issues or other problems.
But ever since I did the 1.1.1 update I sometimes get weird psychedelic colors in the dark areas of the video playback (iTunes purchases or YouTube). A reset (holding both buttons for 10 seconds) solves the problem, but it will sometimes come back a few days later.
Anyone else seeing this?

Same thing has happened on my 38 wk model, once.
It happened first on You Tube, so I thought it was a problem with that but, when I checked some videos they were also, 'psychedelic'. Those I knew WERE fine as I had loaded them only that morning and they were beautifully crisp and clear.
I was actually, showing it to a bunch of people at the time and that was a real let down after their initial 'WOW' reactions at the device.
Fortunately, I shut down. And when I restarted, all was back to normal.
Hope it doesn't do it again!!!

Why is an Audible book playing in Shuffle mode with music?

I bought an audio book on CD. I imported it to iTunes with the expectation that it would be in an audio book folder. It's not, all the segments are in my library and when I listen to my iPod in Shuffle mode it plays sections of the book with the music. How do I get these sections not to be part of the shuffle?

"Genre" means nothing, really. It's just user settable data.
iTunes considers any files with the extension of M4B or AA to be "Audiobooks" and acts accordingly.
If you bought a book on CD, then you have a few options to make it work the way you're expecting.
1. Import the CD as per normal, and make sure you import it into the AAC format. You can do this by selecting AAC in the Importing preferences. Once you've done that, rename all the resulting M4A files it creates to M4B files, and then remove and readd the files to the iTunes Library. When it sees the M4B extension, it will treat it as an audiobook.
2. What you probably really want to do is to probably combine all those CD's into one big audiobook file. This is the way downloadable audiobooks work, and you get several advantages. One big file, smaller filesize, it remembers your place in the book, etc. How you do this varies, but here's how I do it:
- First, I rip all the CD's as one big WAV file each. I do this with a program called ExactAudioCopy, or EAC. Naturally, this takes tons of disc space (estimate 800 meg per disc).
- Second, I combine all those WAV files into one huge WAV file. This takes lots of space as well, and must also be done on an NTFS formatted hard drive. I use a progam called "WAVCat" to do this, but there's lots of programs that can do it.
- Third, I set iTunes Importing options to encode into AAC at a low bitrate, like 48 or 64kbps. Then I put the huge WAV file in iTunes and use the Convert to AAC option. This process takes many, many hours to finish.
- Finally, I rename the resulting file to have an M4B extension and add it to iTunes. I also delete all the temporary WAV files I created, getting all my hard drive space back.
Bit of an involved process, but the results are worth it, IMO. One audiobook file, at a low bitrate, and both iTunes and the iPod remember my playback location in it. Also it gets treated as a proper audiobook, showing up as an audiobook on the iPod and everything else.

Problems with video playback

Hi all.
My system is: P4 2.6 ghz, ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 DDR3 AGP, 1024 mb DDR RAM.
I installed arch.
Also I installed alsa, codecs, gstreamer codecs, vlc, mplayer, totem, gnome, catalyst dirver, etc. All from repos. Default kernel.
During video playback picture freeze in few seconds each 10-15 minutes, but sounds continue playback. In this freezing time, my CPU raise to 100% utilization according gnome cpu monitor. After few seconds of freezing system comes back. It happens each 10-15 minutes. Compiz is off.
I tried to run video using console, I run mplayer, vlc and totem in console, choose video file and playback. Only vlc shows error message from av codec and "(maybe computer too slow?)" message. Other players show nothing about freezing.
Video file - simple video, not HDTV.
A have ubuntu on another HDD, in ubuntu video playback is ok.

I made update.
Now I have catalyst 8.11. I`m testing video playback with different players, it take some time. I`ll write about results.
By the way, today I found another strange bug with fglxr. While I resizing x-chat window, X locked and all key combinations not working. Only hard reset can reboot computer. After that, in /var/log/messages.log I found these lines:

Error with video playback

Hi,
I have a problem with the video playback on the ATV. In every movie I played on the ATV there is one or two errors during the playback. It looks not like a missing frame, its difficult to say, for a second, the picture on my TV is flickering. When i rewind the movie and play the szene agein, where the flickering was, its gone. So it looks like it is random, comes from the ATV and not from the movie material. Anyone see somthing like that?

I have this problem as well when playing downloaded video, I think it has only started since the last update (2.4??) screen flickers, loss of audio for maybe 1-2 seconds, sometimes screen goes black, then all is ok for some time then it will do it again. I also rewound to the problem spot, then played again and it's not there in the same position.
Any clues anyone.
