Playback pauses every 60 secs.

When I am listening to Itunes, every 60 seconds it pauses for 1 second then continues, just like someone is hitting the pause button. It does not do it on my ipod or with windows media player, real player or any other player with same library, It does it when using Airport and without. I have tried adjusting playback settings and I have the latest version of itunes.
Any suggestions?

I fixed this problem by lowering the MTU value from 1500 to 1497 in Networking / Advanced.
I use a Netgear router and have not adjusted the settings there since this problem does not happen on any other computer on the WIFI network. So, my guess is that the Broadcom WIFI chip? in the rMBP 13' does not play well with the Netgear router. I doubt this would be an issue if I were using an Apple Router.
Considering how annoying this problem is, I hope Apple posts a reply validating this fix. In the event it is a fix, it needs to be published elsewhere.
If anyone has any problems making this change, I will post some instructions.
I hope this helps.

I have edited a movie in Final Cut Pro and the video has been smooth all the time.
Now, when the one hour long movie is ready the video seem to paus every 5 sec (only for half a second). It does it all the way through the movies.
What is wrong? All the sudden.

We need info, info, info!
What version of FCP X?
Did you render? what are the project specs? do you use many compound clips? how much ram, hard drive space, how is the hard drive connected?
It looks like your mac can't keep up. Maybe the bottleneck is the hard drive, or something else.
Try exporting a master file and see if the video is ok.
Also, keep Activity Monitor open and see how much memory pressure you've got.

Strange 1 sec stop/pause every 3 sec on Neo2

I've got an annoying problem that is randomly showing up. The computer seems to completly stop/hang/pause for ~0.5-1 sec consequently every 3 sec. When I drag my mouse cursor slowly over the screen, I can see the pauses and hear the sound jumping in a loop, and then continue as normal...
This error is consistent until I either restart og go into standby. It shows up randomly, and can show up at any time in game or at the desktop.
I've tried to disable all OC features, disabled agressive timing, disabled FastWrites, disabled System Bios Cache, tried to set half memory speed.
This does not seem to happen in neither Fedora or WinXP x64.
I've searched the forum and googled, but nothing seems to match with my problem.
Can anybody help me?

Sounds like a software issue since your two other operating systems are unaffected. Try booting from your XP cd and go into the recovery console, type in "chkdsk /p". Once the system reboots, go to the run command, with your XP cd in, and type in "sfc/scannow". Also check for the following: spyware, viruses, and registry errors. Have you recently installed any new software or updated any drivers? Boot into safe mode and see if the problem exists, if not then it's probably a driver issue.

IDVD-Burned DVD and Playback pauses for 30+/- Secs after 99 slides

I upgraded to iLife 09 to avoid this issue and it still happens. I developed a Varsity Slideshow which I am airing at the VB Banquet on 11/15. I burned a DVD (giving a DVD to each of the girls as a gift of the slideshow) and when I play it back right towards the end the music stops and then 8 or so slides @ 3 seconds go by and then the first slide starts to come up and then goes right back to where I left off at the slideshow and music comes back in where it left off in the song and then plays just great. Quality is amazing except for this one BIG ISSUE! Any way about fixing this?

That is true, but I was informed that the "NEW" iLife took care of this issue and it was suppose to have been fixed which is why I upgraded. I haven't used iMovie yet and am note sure if I can do this ASAP since I have to have this completed by Monday of next week in order to burn the 20 CD's with an image on the front. Do you know if I can import entire slideshow into iMovies?

My Mac Mini Pauses and I get the wheel every 15 sec or so.

I have a Mac Mini System 2.66 duo core and System 10.8.2. My Mini just pauses every 15 sec or so and this is very irritiating is there anything that can be done about this.

Use Disk Utility to fix permissions.
Open Font Utility. Check for duplicate or corrupted fonts. Reboot into single user mode (hold shift key at boot until Apple logo). Rebuilds font cache. Then reboot normally again.
Have 4GB or more of memory with two sticks same size. 8GB would be better if h/w supports it.
A full drive will hammer your system performance.
If Spotlight is indexing more than your boot disk, you may want to disable this in the Spotlight preferences (Privacy).
[optional]Purchase latest version of Disk Warrior (Alsoft) and let it find any issues and repair your disk. It will also rebuild your drive directory and from my experience, improve file system responsiveness.

I changed internet providers and now my rental movies will not play. The pause and then fastforward by themselves every 20 sec. Please help.

.MP$ Video pauses every 15 seconds

I've been playing movies on my new ipod.
At the start there was an occasional pause followed by video with no audio.
Now, it will start off fine (video and audio) but will pause every 15 sec or so and continue without audio (unless I fast forward or rewind a bit). It's quite annoying when watching a movie.
It seems like something to do with the buffer. ie the buffer runs out and when re-reading the HD, will not get audio.
Has anyone expericened this before?

Are you using the new v1.1 firmware? If so, revert back to 1.0. Alot of 60GB users have experienced the same problem you're describing after upgrading the firmware. Most 30GB models seem fine, so it might be a problem of the new firmware not managing the 60GB's RAM properly (it has a different configuration than the 30GB), as the problem seems to occur when the HD spins up to cache more data.

Video Playback Pauses when streaming from iTunes to itunes

Hi,
I have a 2011 iMac running OS X Mavericks Server and I use this as my main iTunes library computer. I also have a 2013 (latest model) MacBook Air running Mavericks. My WiFi network comprises of 2x Airport Express's, both the latest models and configured for both 2.4ghz & 5ghz frequencies.
Using Home Sharing, I like to stream video from my iMac's iTunes library to my MacBook Air. The problem is that playback pauses every few minutes. The only way to resume playback is to close the video window and open the video again. This problem occurs regardless of video quality (SD, 720 or 1080) and on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi settings... On the odd occasion this problem doesn't happen at all.
I experienced this problem before upgrading to mavericks so I don't think its mavericks related. And I don't experience this playback issue when streaming to ipad mini, iphone, or apple tv... It only happens when streaming from imac to macbook air...
Please help if you have a solution.

Try:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://localhost:8554/test.sdp -acodec copy -vcodec copy -re -f flv "rtmp://168.187.121.71/livepkgr/mystream&adbe-live-event=liveevent"
I don't strream ffpmeg from my source, but I stream h264 from my source, and this works when transcoding.
Hope this helps!

Sound break every 30 secs using handbrake

On my Powerbook G4 running OSX Panther, I just encoded a peice of video taken from a DVD -r I burned using my Panasonic DVD recording deck. Handbreak did the job, but I have noticed that during playback on my iPod there is a split second break in sound approximately every 30 secs. I'm not a genious when it comes to sound, but I know a little and think it may be to do with the sample rate on the DVD being different to the re-encoded sample rate of Handbreak thus becoming out of sync and cross phasing at 30 second intervals. The DVD plays fine, its just the encoded H.264 file that doesn't. Video remains fine. Any feed back would be great.
Thanks

I just played the file in quicktime on my computer and it does the same thing in the same place so its definately the file not the iPod or iTunes. There is something up with the way handbreak is encoding, I'm pretty sure its to do with sample rates or icompatibility of the mpeg 2 file on the dvd with the software.

Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player. It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams. It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux. I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com
To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
You need to add this setting:
dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.

Video playback pauses for 100-200ms in mplayer

but it's not the video files, because if I play again the part where the playback pauses occured, they don't occur the second time in the same place... what could be the problem ?
before switching to Arch, I had this problem after I've upgraded to kernel version 3 while I was using Debian Testing, but the playback pauses were occuring much more frequently...
Last edited by Chrys349 (2011-10-31 01:47:06)

no errors and no messages in mplayer's output
all options are:
vo=xv
ao=alsa
mixer-channel=Master
nolirc=yes
nojoystick=yes
font=Arial
subcp=latin2
subpos=95
so far, I noticed these pauses during playback on every .avi and .mkv files that I've watched, and the pauses are random, they are not occurring twice in the same places in time; ram and cpu are below 100% during playback, even during playback of 720p .mkv's

Ipod80gb playback pause

HI,
I recently bought the 80 gig iPod.
I'm having a playback pause problem.
For example while I'm playing Song X, and am scrollin down the songs list to choose the next song I'm playing, if I find it and click to play song Y while song X is playing it takes up to 5 seconds to change the song.
as in 5 seconds of silence between songs once I manually change them.
i asked apple they said it was because its a hard disk and not a flash drive.
can i do anything about this as otherwise I need to return it.

There isnt much you can do about it besides creating a playlist. The problem is, as apple told you, it is not a flash drive, it is a hard drive. This means every time you pick a new song, outside of the current playlist or artist, the harddrive has to spin up to access the song, just like any compture or anything else with a hardrive. The only real option is to create a playlist i think. Its only 5 seconds, which does sound like a lil longer than usual but still its not a huge deal in my mind, but if it really bothers you then other than creating a playlist i dont think there is anything you can do.

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds.. What do I do?

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city, so there are plenty of stations to find. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds when I try to listen to my music. I just got it for Christmas and already loaded it with songs.. What do I do?

Push the headphone jack all the way in, you don't have it fully plugged in yet.

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. any soln ?

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.

I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

Iup graded the OS from 7 to 7.1 still the problem remain same Please help me to trouble shoot

Trouble shoot your wifi connection. If wifi is slow to buffer videos it will also have a problem with video chats.

Playback pauses every 60 secs.
