Playback failed

Hi,
Certain Classes can not be downloaded or say playback field. Any suggestions on how to correct this issue?

Has this site retired? I'm curious as to why these questions haven't been answered. I've been an Apple user since 1986 and have never seen this lack of responsiveness. And, it's frustrating, as I'm having the same issue with playback failure on my iphone and ipad. All are up-to-date with software. Ipad has plenty of space. Wireless connection working fine.
Any thoughts. I'm trying to play Itay Talgam - Lead like the great conductors.

BUG: Playback Fails When Loading A Random Video - Firmware 1.2

I've been looking all over on where to post a bug, and for a fix for this bug I found. Not many seem to be having this problem (I assume not many are trying to randomly play a video from a video playlist)
BUG: Playback Fails When Loading A Random Video
iPod FIRMWARE: 1.2
PROBLEM (1): When pressing "Play" on a video playlist or on 'Music Videos' while the iPod is set to Random->Song, the iPod displays a white playback screen, displays song 0 of 0, empty duration bar and a duration time of 0:00/-0:00.
PROBLEM (2): After successful playing a seleted video within a video playlist or music video list, the iPod attempts to play a randomly choosen video (HDD clicks abnormally) but times-out and returns the user to the Playlist selection screen.
iPod MODEL: 60GB Video - Black [Bought in NOV 05]
If anyone knows how to report a bug, or anyone else having this problem (Try it on you iPod, post your results!) let me know!

If you want to post a bug report for Apple to see, then this wouldn't be the place to post it (Apple employees rarely look on these forums; all other regular posters on here are just users that like to help others).
To tell Apple about this, select "Bug Report" under "Feedback Type" on their Feedback form for iPods here -> iPod Feedback
I hope this helps you,

DynamicStreamingResource and Error: Playback failed with certain media

I'm running into an issue with a DynamicStreamingResource wherein, with certain media, I receive a Playback failed error after about 20 seconds of playback. The error does not appear with these assets, which play back perfectly:
_dynamicStreamingResource = new DynamicStreamingResource("rtmp://cp67126.edgefcs.net/ondemand");
_dynamicStreamingResource.streamItems = Vector.<DynamicStreamingItem>(
[ new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 768x428_24.0fps_408kbps.mp4", 408, 768, 428)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 768x428_24.0fps_608kbps.mp4", 608, 768, 428)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 1024x522_24.0fps_908kbps.mp4", 908, 1024, 522)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 1024x522_24.0fps_1308kbps.mp4", 1308, 1024, 522)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 1280x720_24.0fps_1708kbps.mp4", 1708, 1280, 720)
However this set of assets do not work:
_dynamicStreamingResource = new DynamicStreamingResource("rtmp://flashstream.adobe.com/ondemand");
_dynamicStreamingResource.streamItems = Vector.<DynamicStreamingItem>(
[ new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:flash/m/mv1/acom/connectnow/flvs/acom014_854x480.flv", 408, 854, 480)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:flash/m/mv2/acom/connectnow/flvs/acom014_854x480.flv", 608, 854, 480)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:flash/m/mv3/acom/connectnow/flvs/acom014_854x480.flv", 908, 854, 480)
I've confirmed that each asset individually plays as desired, which they do.
Additionally, I have noticed that the buffer grows at an awkward rate - it jumps to about 10 seconds, stutters back and forth between 15 and 20, then stalls, and eventually jumps to 40 seconds, at which point the playhead, around 20 seconds, stalls and I receive the Playback failed error. This happens 100% of the time.
Any thoughts as to why the second set is problematic?
Thanks!

I'm getting "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" when I try to play your first stream so I'm not able to investigate this. Here are some things to look at:
The bitrate you give to DynamicStreamingItem is very important. It must be accurate with regard to the encode. The switching rules use this value to throttle the connection between client and server to keep the buffer from growing too large. Make sure your encodes are CBR and not VBR (variable bitrate). Make sure all encodes have the same keyframe interval. Make sure you set your buffer to 8 seconds initially to get this working. You can adjust if you wish.
Also, turn logging on and start digging through the logs. Determine which stream playback is failing on. The next thing I would try is put the bitrate in the stream name and put them in the same location on the server rather than different paths for each bitrate.
Thanks,

"playback failed" for all podcasts using ios7

I just updated to IOS 7 and when I try to play a podcast that I am subscribed to, I get "playback failed" for all podcasts. The odd thing is that if I am connected via wifi, it seems to work fine. If wifi is not there, I get that error.
I cannot seem to find a setting anywhere that gets around this.
Help!

Playback failed error itunes u

"Error - Playback failed". I get this error on my iPhone 4s in iTunes u. The phone software is up to date and I have deleted and reinstalled the iTunes app. The courses are listed on my phone, but they will not playback. I have connectivity to the Internet and can reach the Apple Store. These same courses will play back on my old iPod.
I have read the discussions, but there seems to be no answer.

Adobe encoder adobe player "Playback Failed..."

hi,
downloaded AFMLE a week or so ago.
i have a logitech web-cam that i use for skype, etc.
thought I'd give it a try.
recorded some audio & video thru the web-cam
AFMLE create an FLV file; tried to open it in Adobe Media Player (1.6)
and I get the error: "Playback Failed... there was an error... some errors
can be fixed by clicking the back button, blah, blah, blah..."
the file format is "f4v" ... I can't open it with Adobe Flash CS3.
if anyone has a clue what's up, please drop me a line!

Before playing F4v files created by FMLE in adobe media player or CS3, you need to process them using F4v post processor tool - https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fms35
Whereas, Flv files should play directly without any processing.

I went to IO 7 and Getting Error "Playback Failed" on every podcast

I was able to listen to podcast when I first updated. It now fails with Error "Playback Failed" on every podcast. I also see that the facebook app is never updating. I powered off the Iphone 4 and powered on. I did the same on my IMAC and try resyncing. I still get the same error.

The problem is in the Yahoo mail server farm. Their mail servers are terrible. Give it time. It will eventually straighten itself out. In the mean time, create an account a gmail account, outlook.com account, etc. and consider switching.

Error: playback failed message deletes my podcasts!

I am getting tired of this. I have an iPhone 4S, updated to the most recent software. Every so often when I open the podcasts app, it will randomly give me an "Error: Playback Failed" message and delete nearly all of my downloaded podcasts. This is especially aggravating when it deletes podcast episodes that are only available for a limited time (ex. This American Life). This has been happening for months now. WHY HASN'T SOMEONE AT APPLE FIXED THIS ISSUE?

Playback failed in the podcast app?

I recently submited my podcast, got it approved, but when I try to play it in the Podcast app on my devices iPhone/iPad it says... Playback Failed.
Does it take a certain period of time before it is completely functional across all platforms?
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zulu-time/id672134957
Thanks.

Your feed is at http://seanzulu.com/zulutime?format=rss
It can be subscribed to OK in iTunes, and in the Store on a Mac it plays your episode (after a very long pause).
I'm not in a postition to test it on an iOS device. However the server appears not to handle 'byte range requests' as required by iPhones (where only a part of the file is requested at a time rather than the whole thing) and this can cause playback problems. If that is the case thenI'm afraid that's something you can only solve by hosting on another server (though the fact that your podcast was accepted would suggest that it's OK - if it didn't support this you would get an error message and a rejection).
Another point, though it probably isn't the cause of the problem: your file name has spaces in it. Spaces are not allowed in a URL. The feed has handled this correctly by substituting the code %20, so it shouldn't actually be an issue, but it's something you should avoid.

HT5100 How can I resolve "error playback failed" message on iTunes U?

When I try to play a lecture on iTunes U I get the message "error playback failed." This started yesterday. I have not had trouble playing lectures before that. Everything else on my ipad 2 seems to be working correctly.
Any ideas? Thanks.

There was an error while playing this video.
Some video errors can be fixed by clicking the back button and playing the video again.
i assume this Adobe media player is just another piece of ****. sad.

"DITTO".
JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH ADOBE MEDIA PLAYER (AMP) AND OTHER RELATED PRODUCTS!
INSTALLATION ERRORS!
UNINSTALL ERRORS!
SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY GONE AMUCK AND GOOFY WITH THIS OUTFIT.
IT IS JUST THE LOUSIEST AND SHABBIEST WAY THE ADOBE MAKES ITS SHAMEFULLY LOW QUALITY (SOFTWARE???) PRODUCTS.
MOST EVERYTHING, ALMOST NEVER WORK RIGHT.
JUST A TERRIBLE WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME AND EFFORTS.
ADOBE SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME JUST ANOTHER VENUE PUSHER FOR INTERNET SPAM AD-PUSHERS.
SAD.
VERY SAD.
I AM GOING TO DE-INSTALL EVERY DAMNED ADOBE SHABBY SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
TOO MUCH HASSEL.
TOO MUCH WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME AND EFFORTS.
** NOTE **
FIND OTHER RELIABLE SOFTWARE FIRMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED *.FLV FILE PLAYERS -- FOR THE TIME BEING -- UNTIL ALL *.FLV FILES HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO *.MWV OR SOMETHING THAT WORKS FLAWLESSLY.
THE *.FLV FILES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ALL OF THE INTERNET WEBSITES AS UNSTABLE AND SHABBY.
AND SAY GOODBYE TO ALL SHABBY, LOUSY, ROTTEN ADOBE PRODUCTS.
IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT LAZY, DEAF, DUMB, BLIND FOLKS (WITH PANTS AROUND THE ANKLES) AT THIS SHABBY OUTFIT ARE NOT GOING TO WORK HARD ENOUGH TO EVER PRODUCE QUALITY PRODUCTS.
SO, SAY GOODBYE TO IT AND ITS SHABBY PRODUCTS AND FIND ALTERNATE RELIABLE, QUALITY SOURCES THAT MEET OUR, THE CUSTOMERS, NEEDS.
IF YOU READ THIS OUTFIT'S GOOFY LICENSING TEXT, IT CLEARLY STATES THAT: ". . . IT DOES NOT WARRANTY THE OPERABILITY, OR MERCHANTABILITY, FOR ANY INTENDED PURPOSES . . .".
MEANING, EVEN THIS OUTFIT ITSELF DOESN'T BELIEVE IN THE QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE OF ITS OWN SHABBY PRODUCTS.
IMAGINE THAT, FOLKS.
WHAT OTHER PROOF ANYONE NEEDS THAT THIS OUTFIT MAKES THINGS THAT YOU THINK WOULD WORK.
WHAT A JOKE.
ACTIONS:
WEB SEARCH FOR:
*.FLV PLAYERS, OTHER THAN ADOBE.
*.FLV FILE CONVERTERS.
WHAT A GOOFUS.
