Problem downloading streaming video as background process

I use Safari 2.0.3 (417.9.3) to view cNET video report; for example: http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6082432.html?part=rss&tag=6082432&subj=news
once the video is playing, I open up another Safari window and start surfing the web, at this point, the video still plays in the window but network downloading the stream is slowing down significantly (may be stopped completely). Once the buffered video is played, the video will stop all together until I make the video window (Safari browser) the foreground... then the video will continue streaming and play. I tried the same procedure using FireFox 1.5.0.4, Firefox didn't have this issue. Anyone else experience this or something similar? How can we tell Apple that this is an issue w/ Safari?

You can send feedback to Apple using "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu.

With latest version of Flashplayer - unable to download streaming video with realplayer

The latest version of Adobe flashplayer (11.5) was loaded today (nov 9, 2012). As a result, using either IE9 or Firefox, I was unable to download streaming videos using Realplayer, where it was set up by "Download the Video". I had no trouble with Flashplayer 11.4, although I had the same problem with Flashplayer 11.3.

Good comments by Hicks. While I an not as anti-iMovie '08 as many others appear to be, I really agree with both his assessment of the product and some of his distribution ideas. However, rather than the simple 2-tier product recommendation he presented, I would personally like to see a renamed version of the current iMovie '08 product be distributed as a free application to users and keep all of the DV based editors as a part of the current 3-tier iLife (which can be purchased by users who wish more editing/plug-in compatibility at a moderate price but are not willing to invest the money or time to use of FCE), FCE "prosumer", and FCE/Studio true profession editing packages purchased according to individual user needs.
As we have seen in the past, innovations introduced by FCE frequently filter their way down to lower level software as enhancements over time. In addition, we have also seen a number of the new iMovie '08 developments being adapted to other applications as the means and processes are developed to do so. Frankly, I am curious to see where all these new innovations may lead given the opportunity for further development.

After updating to firefox 5.0, I can't download streamed videos using realplayer recorder, I can play them

After upgrading to Firefx 5.0, I am unable to use Realplayer recorder, to download streamed video from youtube, I can play it no problem. It worked in versio 4 without any dramaas.

HI Juanverano,
Not a problem, Safe Mode will disable addons and hardware acceleration. If this continues and it is not an add on this will be the next step to try to disable acceleration:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Problem watching streaming video

Hi
I have problem watching streaming video. I was trying to watch an Apple Special Event called "It's Showtime" and I always get QuickTime window with white square, QuickTime icon in the meddle and moving progressing bar, no video or audio. I tried to change the QuickTime preferences using the following support link:
http://seminars.apple.com/seminarsonline/wctest/apple/level2/wctest.html
but I'm getting the same results.
I tried the following: QuickTime Preferences / Advanced /Transport Setup: Custom/Transport Protocol :HTTP and Port ID: 80
I'm using QuickTime 7.1.5
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Repair permissions from your Tiger DVD. See if this helps. If not, try the following:
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.
MacAddict Magazine...12/06
If none of the above works and/or no one else suggestions works out, suggest you try to view the video from another browser. Safari isn't the only browser in town.
Please post back with your results.
Good luck!

Is it a problem with jre or a problem with socket connection?
Please help me! Thanks!

rohitmadiwal, don't post on old threads. If you have a problem, post a new thread.
The above error was caused by a bug in the JNI code inside of JMF. The best solution to such problems is to reboot your system, and if that doesn't work, reinstall JMF.
If neither of those 2 things fix it, it cannot be fixed.

Problem viewing streaming video in some wifi networks, but not others

When I am at work (university), I can not view YouTube videos or video streaming from news sites such as cnn mobile on my ipod touch 2g.
<m.cnn.com/videos.jsp?ckey-cnn)06#__1_>
When I called Apple support, they had me reset-restore. I still had the problem. I went to the Apple store Genius bar and the problem no longer existed, the videaos downloaded and played from both sites!
But at my diner and at work, I get the message, "This movie could not be played" in a popup box with an OK button. The same message appears if I use the YouTube application. I click on any video, and the same popup appears. In Cnn the popup is preceded by a shaded capital Q that looks like the blue Quicktime Q; in Youtube the pupup is preceded by a YouTube icon in gray with the "Tube" surrounded by the rounded rectangle, their icoon...
At the Apple store the popup never appeared, and the videos downloaded and played.
I have no trouble playing movies I have downloaded from iTunes.
I did not have this problem when I initially got my iPod Touch, and I think it appeared after one of the last two system upgrades, but I am not sure.
I am curious that it the problem happens at two places, my diner and at work.
The speed of my wireless work network, as judged by the ipod app speed test is 9915 kbps download and 6971 kbps upload, so plenty fast.
The first time I noticed this issue was with the application "At Bat Lite" which also won't play video highlights at work.
I do not have WiFi at home
Any thoughts about what would cause this lack of functionality apparantly only at some networks but not others?
Oh, one more piece of data: at work a Macbook will play YouTube both on ethernet and using wifi...
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions,
Paul

It seems I have two networks available at work, one is behind our firewall, and I login to it. This is the network that I can't view streaming video. There is also a "Guest" network that I don't need to login to. This one works with the YouTube and the news site videos.
Thus, I conclude there is a setting that WiFi network administrators can invoke that specifically can block streaming video on some protocols (whatever the ipod touch uses) and not others (whatever the Macbook uses). But the same router hardware supplying the Guest network does not block these protocols. Presumably this has to do with security on one side of the firewall(?)
Anyway, apparently outside of the WiFi controls available in the ipod touch settings.
Weird...

Downloading streaming video...

I have a questions for all of you quicktime and vid experts.
I am familiar with viewing streaming video through my web browser and for the most part, it is easy to download it by either pressing and holding down your mouse button or option clicking and then saving. But once in a while I get streaming video that wont let me do anything. I have heard of stand alone applications or perhaps a plugin for quicktime that would let you do this. I have quicktime pro but don't use it for anything technical short of just viewing movies, so if it has the ability to do this...then Im not sure how to do it.
Sorry for the lengthy question and thanks in advance.
Eddy

Streaming files can't be saved using QuickTime Pro. You'll need a screen capture utility (Snapz Pro) to record them as they play.
Some downloaded files are "protected" as save disabled by the authors or the html code of the page.
You should be able to tell which you can save by Control-clicking on the file in the browser window. A dialog will open (after the file has completely downloaded) giving you some options for saving the file.

Firefox Problems Watching Streaming Video (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)

I have Netflix, hulu, VH1, etc. accounts that I use currently to watch movies, t.v. shows, videos, etc. online (desktop) as my only means to any entertainment. I continually have problems with unexpected pauses, starts/stops, "getting stuck" & having to reboot.
I use the free version of Advanced Care Systems to "maintain" my computer. In the last month, I must used the ACS several times a day in order to watch streaming video. Something is obviously wrong. The last time I tried Google Chrome to watch, I did not have the same issues as often.
I love Firefox so I'd like to know what I can do to "fix" this problem.

"ImacG5 (3.0)"
I don't see that model listed.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301724-en How to identify your iMac
Please clarify which model iMac you actually have.
=======================
"I have multiple video viewers in addition to Quicktime Pro."
Which ones. Latest versions?
What type of internet service do you have? Cable, satallite, dialup or DSL?
Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?

Problem about streaming videos on BB 8520

I use bb 8520 with grameen phone prepaid. I don't use BIS. Everybody knows that BB browser too slow. So I use opera mini. When I tried to play live or you tube video the default open automatically and loading a page that contains only a link . When I click the link the media player open and says
Can't find web address . Verify the web address is valid.
So now what can I do. Please help me.

Streaming videos in BlackBerry via mobile network is may not be enabled by your mobile operator. By the way you mentioned that you're not using BIS, but do you use BES (enterprise service)?
However, you could use video streaming using Wi-Fi network...there will be no problem what so ever.

Problems with streaming video on Quicktime

I have been having trouble with streaming videos continuing to pause, then start playing, pause again and so on. I was wondering if there is something I have done to effect playback or if there something I can do to stop this. Thank you for any suggestions

Hello djdoo6
Welcome to discussions!
It will depend on your Internet Service.
Open / Q-Time Player / Q-Time Preferences / open Streaming section. My preference is set to Automatic, select that or known ISP speed. If you use the Enable Instant-On Drag the blue pointer to the right for more delay befor starting play. Play with this untill you download enough to start and finish videos.
Hope this helps

Problems downloading large video files...

*I get the following error message whenever I try to download a video file that is larger than 2gb:*
There were problems downloading some purchased items.
For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.
There was a problem downloading “A-Rod's 500th Home Run / MLB.com Games of the Year / MLB.TV Game of the Year MLB.com”. An unknown error occurred (-50).
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
*Is there something I need to adjust so that I can download these files??? I'm guessing that it is related to the size of the file, as 1.96gb file doesn't have a problem, while a 2.03gb file does.*

I tried contacting the store support, with no luck. They suggested that the problem was caused my either my ISP or my firewall, and has nothing to do with iTunes. I have since contacted McAfee, who has informed me that there is no way their firewall would limit the size of downloads. Embarq (my ISP) has also informed me that they have no way of limiting the size of my downloads.
I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Does anyone else have any ideas????

Facing Problems in Streaming Video over internet using FMS 3.5

I,am using FMS 3.5 to stream video over internet.This video will be a part of a website www.mywebsite.com . I have the webserver in my company. This webserver has the local LAN IP : 192.168.10.19 which is binded with a public internet ip 212.77.xx.xx .This website is hosted using IIS 6.0 on OS windows 2003 server with SP2
I created a swf name sample.swf from sample.flv file and gave it the rtmp address as follows:
rtmp://192.168.10.19/vod/_StreamingVideo_/sample.flv (where _StreamingVideo_ is the instance on the server, and 192.168.10.19 is the LAN IP of server) ,and it worked fine and every one within the local company network could see the streaming video. Now i tried to replace this local address with the public address and the address became as follows:
rtmp://212.77.xx.xx/vod/_StreamingVideo_/sample.flv
After giving this public IP in the rtmp address i,am getting a message "Failed to load Flv from the address rtmp://212.77.xx.xx/vod/_StreamingVideo_/sample.flv" and as as result the video is not streamed and it only shows the progress bar on the link
www.mywebsite.com/VideoStreaming/Sample.html without loading the video. I have also checked the ports 80,1935,1111 on the server and they are open. Is there any problem with my rtmp address with public IP or any other reason ??. Please help me out in this regard because im realy stuck here.

Adding to my previous post this is the XML output i get when i try to access the fms admin console from local ip address i.e http://192.168.10.19:1111/fms_adminConsole.htm
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<level>error</level>
<code>NetConnection.Connect.Rejected</code>
<description>Admin user requires valid username and password.</description>
<timestamp>2/3/2010 8:26:08 AM</timestamp>
</result>
but when i try to access fms admin console through public ip (http://212.77.xx.xx:1111/fms_adminConsole.htm) then it gives me the following :
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.
Any more suggestions Jay (because really ur the only one helping me out in this so far) ??

Which browser lets me download streaming video?

Since apple removed activity window from Safari 6, I'm finding it very hard to download any streaming videos. I have checked another suggestion from a forum member about the new developer activity window, but it is VERY complicated. I want to see if there is another browser that lets me easily download stremaing videos as Safari 5.
Thanks in advance!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Most folks consider intercepting streaming video to capture on your Mac a form of pirating. Apple likely did away with access to the Activity window to discourage this. Discussing how to get aeound it here in the ASC will likely get your topic removed.
Folks who want you to be able to download their videos will provide you with a legitimate way to do so.

Problem downloading analog video.

When downloading analog video onto Final Cut Express, the system cut off after 1 to 2 minutes of downloading. The instructions says that I can download a whole tape but I just need it to download a complete dog competition clip. I have followed every step in the instruction manual and I still get the same results. What am I missing in the settings so I can download a complete video clip.
Thanks

As for the last question, what are you looking for?
Probably and Easy Setup, you should use the Easy Setup>DV Converter.
There are two, NTSC and PAL, use the one appropriate for your video standard.
