New to Quicktime-Please Help-Not Playing Streaming Video
_PLEASE HELP, I AM NEW TO THIS._ I can't see that Quicktime is playing streaming videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime including Perian and every other plug-in I can find. In System Preferences I have tried Automatic and Custom (Port 80) for the Transport Protocol. I have everything checked in the MIME settings. In Safari Preferences I have all the plug-ins enabled. The streaming videos play in Safari, but if I try to open ANY URL in Quicktime, it says URL INVALID. THANK YOU.
I dont believe you can put a youtube link in quicktime itself. An easy way to download them however is to add &fmt=18 for HQ videos or &fmt=22 for HD videos to the end of the youtube url ex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRSbC6HAgNE&fmt=18 Then load that page and then in safari click window then activity. Find the one with the largest size (should be the only one in MB) and double click on it. THen it will download to where you set safari to download your files.

Safari not playing streaming video
Hi,
For some reason safari 4.3 is not playing streaming video such as that shown on CNN. Also, my Macbook is not playing streaming audio. If any of you folks can help with an answer I'd appreciate the help. I am using 10.61 on both machines.
Thanks

Safari 5 not playing streaming video
I updated to Safari 5 a couple days after it was released. Just today, it has stopped playing streaming content, such as videos from hulu. The only suggestion I found was to change the User Agent to Safari 4.1, but this didn't help. Any suggestions?
Have you tried resetting Safari? If that does not work try creating a new user account and test Safari with the new account. If the new account works it is possible that one of Safari's plist files is corrupt in your main user account.

Safari will not play streaming video or audio
Hi everyone,
I have had my iBook for a year and never even tried to take advantage of streaming video or audio b/c I had a dial-up connetion until very recently. Now that I have a high speed connection I would like to watch trailers and listen to music on myspace. I cannot watch trailers at www.apple.com/trailers/ or any video on myspace.com. Nor can I listen to music (I think they are xml files) on myspace.com. I'm currently running on Mac OSX 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
ChristopherHi
Well I have the opposite effect here - the video plays fine on my MBP, yet not on my Intel iMac. On the iMac the video panel never appears. Rather tells me it needs Flash.
Safari is the same on both systems (or at least that's what I think). No plugin blocks are present. To test if the Preference files might be causing the problem, On the iMac, I moved to the desktop from the Macromedia folder in ~/Library/Preferences folder the folder inside the SharedObjects folder. Restarted the system/Safari but the video still does not play.
In the past, Layers magazine has not been a problem, however, I haven't viewed one for several months. Given what others have posted, there seems to be an oddity here that is not machine or Safari specific. I'll have to investigate more when I have time tomorrow.
Try the Video from another user account. See if this is system-wide, or just specific to your user account. BTW, video played fine on the iMac in Firefox. -
Captivate 5 will NOT play streaming video from my Flash Media Server
Recently I have begun attempting to convert older projects to captivate 5. However, once I started loading the videos I quickly realized that they are not playing in captivate 5! I know that these videos stream from the server just fine as I have been running them with other products and I know that the paths are correct because I've been using a web player to test the paths of the videos that will not play. How do I get around the bugs in Captivate and get the video working?
Looking at this issue, here is what I see:
Looking at the source code from the URL you supplied
http://www.uab.edu/smsfiles/video.cgi?OU=CEVS&VIDEO=AD_clip_setup.f4v
Looks to me that the rtmp server has a different name than the one you provided: streamer: ["rtmp://wwwsms.it.uab.edu:1935/CEVS/"]
Is the file truly an FLV or F4V? Looks to me like it is a MP4. [file : "AD_clip_setup.f4v-lo.mp4"]
I think this will still boil down to getting the correct format for the URI.
Just my thoughts. -
please help, someone that doesn't have the savay on moving music from an old pc to a new pc. Music will not play message comes up and have to search. also purchased music from iPhone and does not show on my music library on PC. This is very frustrating. Thank you
It all depends on exactly how you move the library from one machine to the other. The database holding information about your library is normally in a folder called iTunes, with the media in a subfolder called iTunes Media. In this layout you can usually copy the entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other and it will work. If the media folder is split to a new location however then often the links to tracks will fail on a new computer.
You shoud find that the FindTracks script is able to repair the links in your library.
I'm not sure I know what is going on with the purchased music, however if you enable Edit > Preferences > Store > Automatic Downloads > Music you should be able to recover your past store purchases.

my macbook pro will not play a video without pausing every 11 seconds. PLEASE help me figure out what is wrong. very frustrating. I have already tried restarting
buckmacie,
has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it? -
I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help.
Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on your computer (audiobooks go into the Books part of your iTunes library) nor on a backup, then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Hey, i have an iphone 4, and it is upto date, the problem is that my phone does not play any videos online except on facebook, all other videos do not play instead a crossed play sign appears on the video. Please help.
I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely. -
Please help me to unable my ipad2 to play stream video from rtr planeta
Please help me to unable my ipad2 to play stream video from rtr planeta . Thank you!
I have no idea what rtr planeta is but if it uses Flash, it won't work very well or at all on an iOS device. If it is Flash, try the Skyfire browser... it is supposed to run some Flash sites. Review it carefully before purchase.

Firefox 3.6.15 not play youtube videos show blank video frame but other browsers play perfectly please help me for this matter i have already updated adobe flash player.
Answers in this forum have shown different things have worked for different people.
For some clearing YouTube cookies and the cache solved the problem. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Deleting+cookies and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
Others had to go a step further after deleting YouTube cookies and block YouTube from saving cookies. In the Tools menu select Options to open the Options window. Go to the Privacy panel and make sure it is set to "Use custom setting for history". Click the Exceptions button, type in http://www.youtube.com and click on Block
Another option is to disable hardware acceleration for Flash. To do that right-click on a Flash video, select Settings, go to the first tab of the settings for the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration for Flash. This is something recommended by YouTube for those having problems - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=1209379 -

Recently downloaded the new podcast app, but does not play offline. Can anyone help? Thank you.
Hey Karenfromanamosa,
I fixed this problem by turning off the ipad and then turning it back on after 5-10 minutes.
Hopefully then when you play a video it will start playing. -
I was prompted to change my password as I had been hacked. Now, my ipad won't recognize the new password. I have deleted and readded the account. It still won't accept the new password. PLEASE HELP!!!

PLEASE HELP--gotoandPlay plays through frames I dont want it to.
Hello--I am an architecture student and I am having problems
with my Flash website. I have uploaded my half-done website on
http://ilocker.bsu.edu/users/msgoyak/WORLD_SHARED/
My animations end on frame 311, where I have five buttons
linking to different frames (The Resume button links to 312 and the
About Me button links to 313 using
on (release) {gotoAndPlay(frame number);
I also have "back" buttons on 312 and 313 which link back to
311. All three frames have the stop command applied.
My problem: Whenever I publish and try to click on Resume or
About Me, it will only play to 312 due to the stop command, thereby
not allowing me to get to the About Me frame (313). I have tried
taking away the stop command but then when I click on the About Me
button the timeline plays through 312 to get to 313 and you can
actually see it flash through on-screen. I just want ithese buttons
to jump to their respective frames and stop, without seeing
anything in-between or stopping where it shouldn't. Is there a
specific actions script that needs to be applied or would it be
easier to create new flash documents for each link?
Hopefully someone can help m after viewing the website
itself.
I have version 7 MX 2004.
Thank you if you can provide any feedback!!!!!! Hopefully
this frustration thing can be corrected.
Use the gotoAndStop(frame number): instead of play.
The playhead will stop on the disignated frame, and you won't
need a stop
action on it.

Quicktime X will not play some Apple Mpeg 4 Movie Files
Hi,
Having a strange issue. Quicktime X will not play some of my Apple Mpeg 4 Movie files anymore.
The files open fine in Quicktime 7, but not Quicktime X.
I receive the error message "The document could not be opened. A required Codec is not available"
I have installed other codecs (Flip4Mac as well as Perian), but no luck. Have re-installed Quicktime X (10.1) and software is all up to date (running Lion 10.7.2). The movie file works fine if I import it to iTunes as well.
Called AppleCare Support and they could not come up with an solution. Does anyone here have any ideas?
Thanks!
(BTW, I just realized this was an MPEG-4 topic - my issue wasn't necessairly centered around that architecture)
Yes, I naturally assumed that you were having problems at some point with MPEG-4 Part 2 or Part 10 content.
Since I mentioned "from," I should have mentioned what the codec/wrapper was (it was captured into a .mov file using DV/NTSC via "Capture Now" in Final Cut Pro studio V7, via an analog-to-digital converter). What makes this confusing is that files captured with the same settings sometimes open right into QuickTime X with their audio/video intact, and at other times, only the audio shows up (where upon opening that same file in QT 7, we can see both audio and video). Interestingly, the problem files icon shows up on the desktop as the generic movie icon, whereas the "normal" files' icon is the first frame of the video.
May we assume at this point that the source video data is DV-25 with 16-bit Interger (Linear PCM) audio sampled at 48.0 KHz and it is the scratch MOV file that may or may not open/play correctly in QT X but always opens correctly in QT 7?
Ultimately, though, this is an unimportant point in solving my issue. Why? Well, if I can successfully open the problem files in Compressor (e.g., see/hear the video/audio), then I can theoretically re-compress (or "re-wrap?") them to whatever codec I want - ideally one 100% compatible with QuickTime X.
I took a test file, placed it into Compressor, and applied the DV/NTSC setting to it (yes, I know, the same setting the file already had). After re-encoding (which took very little time), the file was perfectly executable in QuickTime X - both Audio and video showing as to be expected, and no real difference in quality (not that VHS source is quality to begin with).
This sounds as if the "problem" file's container may be the source of the problem. As I don't know if your Compressor test is passing the data through to a new faile container, I would make an additional test here. If your version of QT 7 is keyed for pro use, I would simply use the "Save As..." File menu option to to create a new file container. In fact, I would probably just create a "reference" file rather than another "standalone" file here—a very, very fast operation—and then open the secondary file in the QT 7 "Properties" window to ensure all of the data tracks (1 video, 2 audio, and 1 timing) are present. If all looks good, I would then try opening the reference file in QT X to see it it now plays. (I.e., whether you use a reference file here or a standalone file, the object is to see if the QT X player will now recognize all contained data tracks whether resourced by reference or physically contained in/via the new wrapper.)
Could this have been answered without knowing the complete "from" specs? Probably… which is why I posted to the help forum in the first place - the goal being some other reader may have had the same issue, and had a handy solution or suggestion, saving me the time of experimentation (what forums are great for).
I don't know about you, but I would still be looking at profile/level combination settings to see if an an assumed MPEG-4/AVC video and/or AAC audio settings had been properly encoded for QT playback.
I have no doubt that there's a technical difference between the files that created this issue in the first place. But, the solution of re-compressing with an identical codec did the trick, which for this project is good enough for me.
Recompressing data is slower than rewrapping data which is slower than rereferencing the data pointers. But, if your solution works, then that is all that matters.
