Netflix streaming video freezes but audio is ok...

When I'm watching Netflix streaming videos, Firefox video freezes. Audio is fine and I can continue hearing the video. Firefox is the only browser that does this. IE9 and Google Chrome plays without the video freezing. I love Firefox and would like to continue using it. I get tired of having to change browsers just to be able to watch streaming video. Thanks!!!

  • FMLE streaming @ HD, video freezing but audio still works. ??

    Hi all,
    We are trying to some HD streaming using FMLE 3 and a Osprey 700HDe card.
    We can get the HD input in @ 720p no worries.
    Once the stream is pushed up to our CMD and embedded in the webisite we can view the video.
    Thats all ok.
    It plays fine for a while and then the video freezes but the audio continues to play. It clears up after a while but its a pretty constant problem every minute or so.
    We tried some suggested methods like turning of hardware acceleration in the flash player.
    And even pushed the buffer out to 1 minute.
    No luck.
    Its more noticeable at bitrates above 2000kbps.
    We would also like to push the res and bit rate higher to deal with full 1080p.
    But we would lik it to handle this lower quality first.
    The processor is not running under too much stress. Around 35% and our internet is more than sufficient. 60mps down 5mps up.
    Any ideas??

    I think problem is in your network conditions. Please check the RTMP buffer at FMLE. Is it increasing. You can check this from Statistics Panel at Publishing tab.
    This could be due to network latency at between your client and FMS side. Please check it using Ping command. If this latency is beyond certain level then also you can also see RTMP buffer increasing and Video stalling at subsciber side

  • Video Freezes but audio is fine

    When I video chat with someone using a PC, after a couple of minutes the video feed from their camera freezes but the audio is uncompromised. They are able to see and hear me fine. When I vchat with a fellow Apples I have no problems. I use iChat 3.1.1 and iSight. The PC user uses AIM with Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 webcam.
    I am buying a webcam for someone who has a PC to use for chatting only. Any suggestions of models?
    Thank you,

  • Video freezes but audio continues

    Help! I have been having this problem for a couple of weeks now. It seems to happen randomly. I will be watching a video on YouTube for example and then the video will freeze and the audio will continue. The only way out is to do a system reset. I have done a factory restore, but the problem continues. I have run diagnostics and the only thing it says is something about the network connection. However, the network works fine. I have had this happen to a TV show that I purchased also. I had to reboot the Apple TV several times just to get through the show. Very annoying. What could be causing my problem? And, it is no longer under warranty. Thanks for any assistance!
    Oh, I have updated the Apple TV to the latest 2.3.1 version. Could this be the problem? I don't remember this freezing problem before this update. Any way to go back to an earlier update?
    Thanks again.

    To be honest that's the first time I've ever heard anyone running Diagnostics and something being reported by it!
    You may think your network's fine but AppleTV clearly doesn't.
    What's the message?

    Could be software/hardware/network.....no easy answer here.

    No - you've already done a factory restore - even if that rolls you back a few versions, it'll soon nag you to update to 2.3.1 again. No selective software updates can be applied.

  • Youtube videos freeze but audio continues - 13" Macbook Pro Retina...

    This problem occurs in both Safari and Goodle Chrome. The video buffers about a fifth of the way and stops. When the video reaches that point it freezes on that frame but the sound continues as if nothing is wrong. The rest of the page is fully responsive. It's simply the video... Help please

    Flash Player installed? If so, update it.
    1.    Install Adobe Flash Player.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
       Download it first.
       The next step is important.
       Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
       If it doesn’t quit, Force Quit it.
       Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time. Wait.
       When Force Quit window appears, select the application if not already.
       Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window. Wait.
       Application will quit.
        Follow the prompts and install it.
        Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
    2.  Allow  Plug-ins
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow  plug-ins"
        Enable it.

  • Using time remapping w/AE CS4  to freeze time/video freezes but not audio

    Ok I do alot of editing of sports. One thing I like to do is freeze the moment when a special play is about to happen, highlight the player (via masking), then resume play. I had no problem with this in CS3. Now when I use the same workflow in CS4 the video freezes but the audio doesn't. So when I play it back I see the video freeze BUT the audio is still playing...hence now my audio is not synced up with the video. Didn't do this in CS3. My workflow: from PP -rightclick clip- replace w/ AE comp- AE loads my clip in a comp- I enable time remapping- extend the duration of the comp by 5 sec- find the point I want to freeze-set a key frame-copy key frame to origninal position- now I have a 2 second freeze between 2 keyframes. When I check the comp in PP the video freezes where I want it to but the audio keeps playing during the freeze....even after render. Thoughts?

    Hi,
    I'm also having the same problem with CS4 version.  I'm using Mpeg4 file shot on my canon 60d and it's freezing the video in places and continuing the sound.  The whole clip is just over 2 mins and I don't have any effects at all.
    Does anyone know how to solve this please???
    Cheers!

  • Premiere cc 14 video is freezing but audio plays?  Mac

    I am in OS 10.9.3  3.5ghz intel for i7 iMac  32 gb memory, and timeline playback works for a while and then freezes, but audio continues to play.  This is really slowing down the edit.  Help Please? !

    If Safari is the only browser you are having problems with dealing with QT see if the following is of any help:
    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.

  • Quicktime streaming video recently lost audio

    I have streaming video embedded & the audio just in the past week stopped working.
    On site the stream is also piped to a TV and audio is fine.

    Could you post a URL to the file or the Web page that holds it?

  • Audio problems watching netflix streaming videos

    The audio is terrible,  can hardly hear the actors.   If dvd played, the sound is good.   This happens every time a streaming video is played.    Will external speakers help, and if so,  what kind?
    Thanks.
    Imac;   10.6.8   2.66GH   4g memory is max.

    Not all apps are enabled for airplay, this is up to the developer to do.

  • Streaming video lags while Audio continues normally when switching tabs

    It only happens if I go from a streaming video tab to another tab or browser screen/software etc. anything that switches the main view of my screen from the video and back will cause this problem.
    it will play fine at first, but once I look at facebook or bring up itunes etc, and switch back (usually doesnt occur right away, but once the video is a minute or two in it will 100%) the video will start to lag horribly and will never get back on track. the play buttons on youtube/netflix even stay as pause buttons even though I can click play and pause back and forth functionally, and the audio will never skip a beat, but the video will stop dead, lag a few frames and stop dead again and will never correct unless I refresh the page. I can't recreate this in chrome, I've cleared my history and caches, upped the storage size on the main cache and tried updating various things like flash and firefox (19.0) but nothing is solving it!

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later (?)

  • Streaming videos freeze up although buffered.

    I have a Lenovo Y50-70 with the following specs:
    i7 4710 HQ CPU
    256 GB SSD
    GB RAM
    Intel HD Graphics 4600 and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M(4GB)
    I have Windows 8.1 (64Bit) installed
    I experience problems with streamed video content.
    Especially with flash videos streamed in HD. (It seems also with HTML5 content when falsh player is installed).
    The videos freeze up for a few seconds eventhough the video has already buffered.
    I figured that streamed via vfl player the videos run smoothly.
    I had this problem with 4! different Laptops now all with the same specs (same model)
    This occures in different networks not only my homenetwork.
    I updated all my drivers and tried Firefox IE aswell as Chrome.
    Every time the same result.
    Update: I bought a newer model now, the older one had only 8 GB Ram and a Geforce 860M (2GB)

    Hi,
    I just saw your post and changed my resolution to 1366 X 768, and it solved my problem replaying photo-audio slideshows. But now the bottom of the screen is cut off. I'd prefer 1366 x 768. Do you have any idea why the screen resolution makes a difference? I'm just trying to playback photo-audio slideshows. Seriously bumming me out that this is happening on my new MacAir 11".
    Thanks for any tips.

  • Video stalling but Audio OK

    I'm experiencing problems with the Video ramdomly "stalling" or just showing a single frame when playing back videos. The Audio keeps playing but the video "freeze" can happen for a few seconds. It normally just carries on after the glitch. This is happening on 90% of my content.
    Also, I do notice a bit of vibration occassionaly when the disk is accessed but this does not appear to be related to the video stalling.
    Any suggestions or observations?
    Thanks

    Are these movies you converted yourself? If so, were you possibly "pressing the envelop" when it comes data rates and/or settings which tend to "choke" the iPod during decoding/processing of data (e.g., increased pixel dimensions, audio sampling rate, etc.)?

  • Streaming videos freezing....

    Greetings all:
    I have all the up to date software, SL and ITUNES, and lately, all of my streaming videos to my wirelessly connected ATV have been freezing. I have looked on the site, and found istumbler to use as a tool; when I opened it to check the channels, I found all of my wireless devices to be under 'bonjour' (two expresses, printers and ATV as well as other computers.
    I guess that I still really don't understand what bonjour is. Can someone explain it to me and suggest how I might change my setup to allow uninterrupted streaming again? I have yet to restore factory settings on the ATV but plan on doing that soon...

    I have been having this problem as well in the last week or so. Any video content that is not locally stored and is getting streamed from my iMac is constantly freezing for couple of seconds and then picks up where it left off. This is really annoying and I have not changed anything. I also cannot fast forward without the streaming breaking and when this happens, it stops the forward and resumes play.
    What is going on Apple?
    there is no point posting the same thing in multiple threads as it's not easy to track your issue and suggested resolutions. i have responded the your post in the other thread, please use that one to respond.

  • Vidoes always freeze but audio continues on HP Pavilion desktop

    I use an HP Pavilion desktop using Windows 7. Whenever I watch any video, from You Tube or any other source, every few seconds the video will freeze but the audio continues. When I move my finger slightly on the mouse pad, the video resumes. What could be causing the delay and how can I resolve it?
