Lose connection watching streaming video

I bought a WRT54G v7.2 router some time ago, it works perfect but i had one little problem which plenty of people have reading this forum.
I'll put this new message here because people have thesame problem using different routers.
My router kept disconnecting streaming video on the web, it caused a hell of a headache because i tried everything suggested on the forum.
But i can tell you it's not a router problem according to me, i tried watching streams with VLC media player which i downloaded for free on the web and now i can watch streams without losing my connection.
VLC streams UDP, RTP, HTTP, HTTPS, MMS and RTSP.
I don't have a sollution for streaming with Realplayer or other programs but for a lot of streams VLC works, i hope this will solve some people's problems.
You can download VLC for free here http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.6h/win32/vlc-0.8.6h-win32.exe

Watching streaming videos on TV through iPad mini

My parents have an iPad mini. I got them a subscription to netflix and would like to buy a cable to connect iPad mini to their tv so they can watch streaming videos on there. A rep from Apple told me that there is no such cable and I must buy Apple TV. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for any help or adivce.

only apps which were made to support av out will display on the tv
test with the build in apple video app
if it does work and whatever other app don't the fault is with the other app not with the ipad and or cable

We are getting ready to purchase the new iMac 27" and would like to know which is best for watching streaming video, the fusion drive or the more expensive flash drive only

We are getting ready to purchase the new imac 27" and would like to know which is the best configuration for watching streaming video, the fusion drive or the more expensive flash drive. We will have a fast fiberoptic internet connection.

the harddisk speed mean nothing when it comes to streaming video from the internet
even the fastests internet using fiberoptics is still much slower then the slowests harddisk you can buy

Can't watch streaming videos anymore.

I am using Apple OS 10.4.11 (Tiger) with Flash Player 10.1 on a Desktop Emac and on a Laptop MacBook. Both computers are similar, if not identical in setup and software employed. Yesterday I could view streaming videos on both computers. Today I suddenly cannot view streaming videos on the Desktop, but I can on the Laptop. How is that possible? Webcams attempt to load on the Desktop, saying "Loading interface", but where the Laptop goes on to say "Initializing", the Desktop now says "Loading Error 102, please try again", but re-trying does not help. It is as though i have shut something off that was on before. I have tried downloading Java and Java Script, Flashplayer 10.102.64, checking to make sure no Firewall is up, Java is enabled, and everything else I have found online to try to remedy the situation, to no avail.
Occasionally, I accidentally trip an F key and have to work through it. Could I have tripped something that now won't let me watch streaming videos on my Desktop? Is that possible? I just can't find any answers. Any new suggestions?

Open System Preferences/QuickTime
Click the 'Streaming' tab
Set the speed to one slower than your network connection
Check 'Enable Instant on'
Drag the slider 2-3 notches from the left
Click the 'Browser' tab
Check 'Play movies automatically'
Check 'Save movies in disc cache'
Slide the size selector all the way to the right
Click 'Empty Download cache'
Close the panel and try viewing another video

IOS 8.0.2 Cannot watch/stream videos (YouTube)

I've tried it on various wifi's and even turned off my wifi using my data-streaming and still get spinning circle of death!!! Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions or advice anyone may have is much appreciated!

How can I hook up my Sony surround sound to Apple TV to watch streaming videos?

How can I hook up Apple TV to my Sony surround sound to watch streaming video from Netflix?

Which Apple TV is it?
There should be outputs you can use for video/audio. The latest Apple TV has HDMI out. Find the correct cable that matches your TV and follow Sony's user manual to hook everything up correctly.

Firefox Problems Watching Streaming Video (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)

I have Netflix, hulu, VH1, etc. accounts that I use currently to watch movies, t.v. shows, videos, etc. online (desktop) as my only means to any entertainment. I continually have problems with unexpected pauses, starts/stops, "getting stuck" & having to reboot.
I use the free version of Advanced Care Systems to "maintain" my computer. In the last month, I must used the ACS several times a day in order to watch streaming video. Something is obviously wrong. The last time I tried Google Chrome to watch, I did not have the same issues as often.
I love Firefox so I'd like to know what I can do to "fix" this problem.

"ImacG5 (3.0)"
I don't see that model listed.

Quicktime crashes while watching streaming video

Hi,
Who can help me?
Quicktime 7.2 often unexpectedly quits while I watch streaming video.
I tried - installing quicktime again, - using cable for internet instead of wireless, made a new account on my mac - got rid of the qt preferences -.. nothing works, it still quits while I watch online video.
who has the solution?

i am having the same problem, except when i try to open it using itunes it also closes down and gives me that error message. I also tried opening the files with nero and the problem occurs there also. i wish there was a fix for this because quicktime 6 worked great.

Problem watching streaming video

Hi
I have problem watching streaming video. I was trying to watch an Apple Special Event called "It's Showtime" and I always get QuickTime window with white square, QuickTime icon in the meddle and moving progressing bar, no video or audio. I tried to change the QuickTime preferences using the following support link:
http://seminars.apple.com/seminarsonline/wctest/apple/level2/wctest.html
but I'm getting the same results.
I tried the following: QuickTime Preferences / Advanced /Transport Setup: Custom/Transport Protocol :HTTP and Port ID: 80
I'm using QuickTime 7.1.5
Any help will be highly appreciated.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1.8 GHz, 2 GB

Repair permissions from your Tiger DVD. See if this helps. If not, try the following:
To fix a QT related problem w/Safari, quit Safari & look in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder (this is the Library folder at the root level of your HD, not the one inside your Users/user name folder).
Try removing the VLC Plugin.plugin (if you have it) & QT Plugin.plugin files from this folder, & then relaunch Safari. If the problem isn’t fixed, a different plug-in may be to blame. Keep removing files from this folder (start with any third-party plug-ins that are present) until the problem disappears.
Replace the plug-ins that don’t cause any problems.

If none of the above works and/or no one else suggestions works out, suggest you try to view the video from another browser. Safari isn't the only browser in town.
Please post back with your results.
Good luck!

Problems trying to watch streamed video

Browsers: Internet Explorer 11 and Foxfire
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional x 64 bit
Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX
Adobe Flash Player 15 Plugin
Adobe Flash Shockwave Player 12.1
When I attempt to watch streamed video < cbc website: http://www.cbc.ca/murdochmysteries/episodes/season-7/midnight-train-to-kingston > for example.
A drop-down shows up in the middle of the screen and I cannot get rid of it.
Adobe Flash Player Settings
Local Settings - request to store up to 10 KB
If I right clock, a second box appears for Local Settings. This box I am familiar with... the problem is that I cannot effect any adjustments.
This is a new development and very annoying. It only happens in the two User Accounts, but not in the Administrator Account.

The easiest way to deal with this is to avoid having the dialog pop-up.
Go to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage > Allow sites to save information on this computer.

Watching streaming video on an 867mhz TiBook?

I'm struggling to watch streamed video content on my 867mhz TiBook and wondered whether there was anything I could do to make content run properly? It's running 10.4.11 with 1GB RAM, using Safari. I'm trying to watch BBC i-Player content.
Thanks

1. Don't have any other applications or operations running at the same time.
2. If you can download the video first and then watch it from your hard drive instead of streaming it in real time, do so.
3. Check with your ISP to see whether they offer an option providing greater bandwidth and faster download speeds.
4. If you use cable internet, watch streaming video during off-peak hours when there's less competition for the available bandwidth.
5. Expect the steadily growing demands of multimedia-laden websites to make your Powerbook completely obsolete for such uses before long. Some would tell you it already is obsolete, and they aren't far wrong.

Sound interruption when watching streaming video

I have an Apple TV and use it to watch Netflix and Youtube. After upgrading to ios 8, I experienced frequent sound interruptions when watching streaming video
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have a third generation Apple TV.

I was able to fix the sound issue by changing the resolution to "720P -HD" instead of "Auto". Not ideal but it works.

Watch streaming video in konqueror

Is it possible to play streaming video (for example the trailers from apple.com) within konqueror? I tried installing mplayer-plugin and kaffeine, but neither of them were able to do the trick? Has anyone been able to get this working? Thanks in advance

http://www.apple.com/trailers
I didn't try real, because I never watch them anyway, but they do work. Quicktime and wmv stll don't. When I try to watch a wmv I get an embedded kmplayer windows, but the status bar says 'stopped playing' and I can't convince it to say sth else.
Basically same story with quicktime movies
i tried this trailers and they work (thanx, now my computer is a movie station ... it is laggy because of my bad connection, but very cool)
make sure, you are using the mplayer-part of the kmplayer ... the thing is: per default, it tries to play movies with xine-engine and fails!!! you need to switch this in the settings of kmplayer to use default mplayer as engine, then it works fine
by the way: are there some whole movies on the internet? (of course open like free like gratis and non-paying nothing ;-) ... i had a look at creative commons, but there are only some short or/and old american movies there ... mostly propaganda and politics stuff ... i'm searching for something like shoutcast for video (shoutcast is for radio stations from the internet))

PPPoE Connection Drops streaming video on my Linksys WRK54G

So I just set up my Linksys WRK54G Version 1.1 to handle my PPPoE connection, meaning I entered the username and password assigned to me via my ISP. It works for a bit and then seems drop the connection all together. When this occurs, I cannot even ping the router (192.168.1.1). I have to unplug the AC Adaptor and then plug it in, inorder for the connection to pick up again. It seems when I try to access streaming video from a certain site (http://www.mtv2.com/#videoPremiere/1552982) and I have PPPoE setup via my router, the connection drops. If I change the setting to "Obtain an IP Automatically" and send my PPPoE credentials through my Windows XP client all is well. No issues what so ever.
I called Linksys and they had me try setting my MTU to 1400 but that did nothing. I have the most recent firmware as well. He then said that I will need to call my ISP and increase the bandwidth on my modem to get it to work (connect directly to my modem).
I have since reset the router, downloaded the newest episode of "Heroes" and fired up You Tube and watched a few streaming videos while grabbing the torrent. Everything looked ok.
I then went back to the MTV2 link I posted above (http://www.mtv2.com/#videoPremiere/1552982) and clicked play. At the same time I set up a continuous ping to the router. Sure enough, the connection dropped completely. Unplug the AC Adaptor to the router for 1 second, plug it back in and all is well. I am truly stumped here.
Is the issue perhaps a port issue with the video I am trying to stream from MTV2? It seems regular stress tests work ok.
PS - It seems someone else was having a similar problem here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rema...?hilite=wrk54g
UPDATE: I went to bed and woke up and my connection has dropped completely, and I was not even downloading anything?! Can someone please help me with this issue?

well...i guess u have tried almost everything possible on the router...try TCP optimiser .. this should adjust the MTU settings of the NIC card on the computer....
if u are having issues on the wireless computer, change channel - 1 or 11 , change beacon interval - 50 , RTS and fragmentation threshold - 2304 ...
