Pixelation at bandwidth change while streaming VOD in HLS

Hi,
I have FMS 4.5 installed and I'm doing some tests streaming media via HLS with a STB.
This is my main playlist link: http://lab001.dyndns.org/m3u8/ca-8ms.m3u8
The problem is, when the bandwidth changes during streaming, there's a pixelation.
No matter what I configured in HLSMediaFileDuration (in httpd.conf), and no matter which value I set for KeyFrame Iterval, I always got pixelation at bandwidth change while streaming.
In this article, it is said: "The duration of TS files, in milliseconds. Use a value that is a multiple of the keyframe intervals for the media.". I did try that, but no luck.
For example, when I set HLSMediaFileDuration to 8000 (default), I encodec my media with KeyFrame interval = 4. I also tried different combination but it didn't solve the problem.
I'm using:
Server: FMS 4.5.
Media Encoder: Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Pro (multiple bit-rates with the same KeyFrame Interval).
Client: AirTies STB and iPad 2.
What am I doing wrong or missing?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Wiaam.

I am having this EXACT issue - only I am using an iPhone 6 Plus 64gb. I live in the Chicago metro area, and when I stream using Spotify, iTunes Radio or Pandora, I am having the exact same issue. I can watch the phone go from LTE to 3G to 1x, then to get it back to LTE, I need to put it into Airplane mode and take it out of Airplane mode.

  • Apple TV2 using bandwidth while streaming from iTunes

    I am wondering if anyone has solved the elusive issue as to why my recently purchased Apple TV2 is using my ISP bandwidth when using home sharing from iTunes on my MB.  I am using an Airport Extreme (less than 2 years old) with the latest firmware, and this issue is still occurring.  I do not have iCloud, or iTunes Match enabled.  I have never had this issue when using my Airport Express running to my home stereo, but suddenly i've used 1.46G of bandwidth on Saturday night while streaming 3 hours of music using Apple TV2.
    While I am a self admitted Apple junkie, this issue causes me great concern and not what I would expect from an Apple product.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Okay, try this simple test. Disconnect your modem/router from the internet (i.e. unplug the coax cable or phone line) and then see if you can access your music on the Apple TV (under the "Computers" menu). If the music and videos still work then that indicates that you aren't streaming that content using iCloud or iTunes Match.
    However, if it doesn't work (can't access content) then that proves that you are indeed (somehow) streaming from the internet. In this case I'd check to make certain that ALL of the content you are trying to access is PHYSICALLY stored on you local Mac/PC and that the content is reachable via the iTunes app running on that same Mac/PC. If it is then next I'd do a factory restore on the Apple TV and then see what happens.

    this issue just arose over the last month or so and no changes have been made to my bandwidth.
    Except for the following possibiblites:
    Your bandwidth might be being throttled by your internet provider.
    Your internet may have a fault.
    Perhaps your Wi-Fi security has been breached by someone nearby.
    Perhaps the other services (Grooveshark and Spotify) use a lower bandwith (I don't know).
    For numbers 1 & 2, try a speed check to see if your internet connection is as fast as it's supposed to be.
    For number 3, change your password to your Wi-Fi.
    For number 4, check the Bit Rate of each stream.
    On the other hand, if this new information that you added is fact ( it actually occurs if I even listen to music from my iTunes library, not just internet radio ), then perhaps iTunes is at fault and the best fix may be to repair iTunes.
    To repair iTunes, download the iTunes installer and when you run it, use the Repair option.            

  • Bloating of playback buffers while streaming of HTML5 videos

    Firefox does not restrict the rate of data transfer while streaming HTML5 videos. This is because an HTML5 video is treated like any other HTML object and the entire video is downloaded at the end to end available bandwidth. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer restrict the download rate as a multiple of the video encoding rate. These limits on the data transfer rate ensure that on networks that have an end to end available bandwidth larger than the video encoding rate, the download rate is restricted to the video encoding rate. The limits on the download rate improves the responsiveness on other TCP connections opened by the web browser. I detail out this problem in the paper titled "Network Characteristics of Video Streaming Traffic". I would like to know on how I can contribute to address this problem. The paper is available at http://goo.gl/zeYOk.

    Sorry,
    The video tag I use is the below one:
    <video width="20" height="20" autobuffer controls preload="none" ><source src="MY_VIDEO_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"type='video/webm; codecs="vp8,vorbis"'></video>

  • While streaming music, my airport loses connection, is this typical?

    While streaming music through my iPhone, my airport extreme loses connection. Is this typical?  I assume it loses connections at other times, but it most noticeable while streaming music.

    It's a sign of a wireless environment that is less than ideal, which can be the result of wireless interference from competing wireless networks, the presence of intervening building materials and other obstructions, or any combination of these factors. They can't all be avoided but you may be able to mitigate their effects.
    Streaming music or video is demanding of bandwidth and intolerant of the minor interruptions that go unnoticed when performing simpler networking tasks.

  • AppleTv picture freezes while streaming

    For some reason the plugin container is causing some wierd stuff. I didn't know you could have more than one instance of task manager open. while this bug occurred, I had 15 task managers open. So somehow this plugin container is doing soemthing funky with the windows system. I'm the same poster as the last 2 post

  • How would one skip from point to point that the video is changing while editing.

    How would one skip from point to point that the video is changing while editing, like if a certain set of pixels changed to white, and then mark it.?
    Basically, I have a set camera, and when certain objects change color I want to mark it.   Think of a baseball flying through the air off a pitchers hand, and be able to skip to each point the pitcher is in that position.

    The only method of this level of content analysis I'm aware of is with your eyes.
    You'll just have to wacth the video to find those parts.

  • Reader 10.0 Printing Problem - Font changing while printing

    Dear all,
    can anybody help me on my printing problem with Adobe Reader 10.0 ?
    While printing a pdf I cannot do anything else, it is not possible to touch the mouse
    because when I do this, the font is changing while printing to something like grecian.
    Can somebody help me on this ?
    Reader 9 did not cause this problem.
    Thanx and best Regards, Travelplan24

    I have the same problem, but I didn't realize it could be set off by my working on another task. It is also triggered when the pdf has scientific notation, or a very extreme change in font and font size. E.g., text in boxes, algorithms, etc. seem to trigger the problem.
    I have reinstalled my print driver (several times, latest on Sunday), and reinstalled Adobe Reader (now 10.0.1) but the problem remains.
    Printer:
    HP Officejet 6500 (E709n Series) wireless, now on USB.
    Document properties: Most recent font conversion - yesterday:
    Producer: Distiller 4.0.2 for Mac
    PDF version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x)
    Fonts: Helvetica-Neue, Type 1, Encoding: ANSI and Roman
    The font is not converting into Greek. E.g. "Problem-Solving Process" became "Qspcrfm . Tpnwjoh!Qspdftt"' with the kerning overlapping characters.
    The font 'conversion' has happened many, many times on a wide variety of pdf files in the past 6 months. Never had the problem before. I had downloaded new Reader, and purchased the new printer -- I do not know which change created the problem.
    I will cease doing anything when I print as a temporary workaround, but that is not a good solution.
    I sure hope you can figure out what the bug is. Thanks in advance.

  • Monitor always on while streaming to apple tv

    Hi,
    I'm using home sharing from my mac pro to stream to the apple tv, and it works well. It wakes the mac when it's asleep, but the problem is that the monitor (30" acd) connected to the mac stays on as long as it's streaming to the apple tv.
    I was hoping the new "low power wake" feature in lion would apply to streaming to apple tv, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    Any ideas how I can get the monitor to sleep as it should while streaming?

  • Delivery quantity changed while delivery was being picked .

    Hi Friends .
    I have  a big problem, because the delivery quantity changes while the delivery was being picked.
    This is the positively the 3rd time that we have seen this, possibly the 4th, recently.
    Delivery was created this morning for 800pc. Batch determination was telling the picker to pick from perticular storage location SLOC 112. (all 800pc) (25pc =1 pallet)
    The picker knew that he was picking 32 pallets from that row.
    After he picked 32 pallets, the system was telling him that he needed to pick 2 more pallets.
    At that point, I  saw delivery .The quantity in the delivery had, at this point, increased to 850.
    Delivery shows that 32 pallets that had been picked up to this point.
    again  it is calling to pick 2 more pallets.
    at this point of time  delivery is for 850 (not the original 800)
    I have not changed the quantity in delivery or in order . how come delivery quantity has changed while materials are being picked .
    Kindly I request your speedy reply as it's priority ticket .
    Thanks in advance .
    Jayapala S.h

    Hi jayapala
    The delivery qty can change while you pick the quantity  if the stock is less than the stock that is to be actually you are going to deliver. As the stock is changing , check the stock in MMBE for that material.
    Example :
    Say you have created a sales order for 100pcs but when you are doing delivery material is taking only 75pcs because there are only  75pcs of stock in the storage location

  • How to buffer entire file while streaming

    Hi,
    I have a service running off a FMS and I was wondering how I would get a stream to keep downloading the rest of the file even while streaming. For example, like YouTube downloads the entire video while you're watching it, much like Progressive Download does but I want that from my streaming server. How would I go about doing this?
    Or even better than that, if I could buffer at least 20 seconds ahead of the current stream position. If I use NetStream.setBufferTime(20) - the stream doesn't play until at least 20 seconds has been buffered, but I want it so that it will play even though it hasn't buffered completely, but will keep buffering while streaming.
    Thanks

  • Skipping changes in Streams

    We're using CDC (built on Streams from what I can tell) to replicate changes from OLTP system to a data warehouse. There is a need to correct a value in a column as a mass update which will affect many rows, but we don't want to send those changes to the warehouse. So what we're stuck on is how to prevent CDC capturing those changes or make it skip them.
    We're thinking we would issue dbms_capture_adm.stop_capture, perform the update, then issue dbms_capture_adm.start_capture, but that doesn't work as it just seems to 'pause' the capture and when it restarts, ALL the changes are mined from the redo logs.
    I'm guessing what we need to do is before we restart the capture, we need to issue dbms_capture_adm.alter_capture to manipulate the SCNs, is that correct, and if so which SCN and what to set it to?
    I think all the dbms_capture_adm apis effectively calls the streams equivalent, if anybody has manage to "skip" changes with streams or cdc, then please post.
    eg,.
    exec dbms_capture_adm.stop_capture('test_capture');
    update big table...*
    exec dbms_capture.alter_capture(???);
    exec dbms_capture_adm.start_capture('test_capture');

    One way that i have tested to skip changes is to use apply_tag.
    First your capture rule need to have :dml.is_null_tag() = 'Y' so that only changes without apply tag are captured.
    Second in the session performing the mass update you need to set a tag. This can be achieved through DBMS_STREAMS.SET_TAG procedure.
    As far that I understand the streams, this does not imply to verify the stream is empty.But you must be aware that according to CDC configuration (I have never practised CDC) this may lead to apply errors.
    Here is my capture process positive rule:
    (CLOB) ((((:dml.get_object_owner() = 'SAG') and *:dml.is_null_tag() = 'Y'* and :dml.get_source_database_name() = 'ORCLUDR01.FR.NETCENTREX.NET' )) and (:dml.get_compatible() <= dbms_streams.compatible_11_1))
    Here is a sample sqlplus session:
    Show that stream works
    SQL> connect sag/sag
    SQL> select * from test;
    ID LIB
    11 1
    12 2
    10 0
    SQL> update test set LIB='00' where id=10;
    1 row updated.
    SQL> commit;
    Commit complete.
    SQL> connect strmadmin/strmadmin
    SQL> select * from sag.test@orcludr02
    ID LIB
    10 00
    11 1
    12 2
    connect sag/sag
    Place tag
    SQL> begin
    2 DBMS_STREAMS.SET_TAG(hextoraw('0000'));
    3* end;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    Update not replicated
    SQL>update test set lib='0000' where id=10;
    1 row updated.
    SQL> commit;
    Commit complete.
    Verify update worked and was not captured
    SQL> connect strmadmin/strmadmin
    Connected.
    SQL> select * from sag.test;
    ID LIB
    11 1
    12 2
    10 0000
    SQL> select * from sag.test@orcludr02;
    ID LIB
    10 00
