Problem streaming YouTube videos

I have 3 Macs: a Mini, an iMac and a MacBook Pro. My Mini is connected to a large screen tv. Sometimes, especially in the evenings from 7-10 pm, I get interruptions with YouTube video streaming on the Mini. I have no problems with either the iMac or the Pro. The Mini sits just a little to the front of the tv. Could the tv itself be interfering with the stream or is the problem something else. Any ideas on what could affect the streaming?

If you are using wifi to connect the Mini to the ethernet, it is probably getting a weaker connection than your other Macs.
Both the iMac and the MacBook Pro have stronger antennas than the Mini.
Sometimes making slight changes in the the Mini's placement can make a big difference in Wifi signal strength.
The Mini may also be farther from your router than the other Macs, which would impact signal strength via Wifi.
If you have the option of using ethernet cable to the Mini, that would give the best internet connection.

  • Streaming youtube video from my macbook to Apple TV?

    Hello ...
    Can I stream youtube video from my macbook pro (OS X 10.9.2)  to Apple TV? with same HD quality, similar to iPad and iPhone.
    The built-in AirPlay feature is not satisfactory and gives poor video quality.
    There might be some kind of plugins for Safari or Firefox than allow to switch to Apple TV, but I couldn't find any.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Rudegar ...
    Yes! my hardware support AirPlay Mirroring but it doiesn't stream HD quality with no lagging
    I just want something exactly similar to what happens in an ipad/iphone, just one click and the stream would be diverted from my macbook to the apple TV directly from the my internet modem
    Is there such way !!??

  • HELP! Problem viewing Youtube videos.

    Hello,
    I am having problems viewing Youtube videos. Everything was great until the other day. I have not changed anything on my computer to create this problem.
    Diagnosis:
    when viewing videos straight from youtube.com with Safari, it loads and starts to play the video & audio. after the first second the visual video disappears and the audio keeps playing. I can scroll throughout the video, but no picture.
    I do not understand, I have updated everything and still same outcome. It was working the other day fine and then boom, no video. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
    Thank you for you help,
    B

    Sounds like a problem with Flash. I'd recommend visiting Adobe's web site and updating to the most current version for OS X.

  • Having lagging problems with YouTube videos, it simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again.

    I have been having lagging problems with YouTube videos for a number of months now. It simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again. Even with little 2 and 3 minute videos.
    I have a fast computer and my webpages load really, really fast. I have FireFox 4 browser and a Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. So I don't have a slow computer or web browser. But these slow YouTube vids take way too long to load for some reason.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can speed up YouTube?

    Hi
    The forums are customer to customer in the first instance, Only the mods (BT) will ask for personal information through a email link. Would you mind posting your Hub stats & BT speed test results this will help all with diagnosis-
    To post the full stats from your router
    for home hub - 192.168.1.254
    Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right
    Click on More Details and then post the results.
    Run BT speed tester and post the results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
    If possible it would be best to connect to the BT master socket this will rule out any telephone/broadband extension wiring also consider the housing of the hub/router as anything electrical can cause problems as these are your responsibility, if these are found to be the case Openreach (engineer) will charge BT Broadband, which will be passed onto you, around £130.00.
    Noisy line! When making telephone calls, if so this is not good for your broadband, you can check-
    Quite line test dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing best done with old type analogue phone digital (dect) will do but may have slight hiss If you hear noise- crackling pops etc, report it as a noisy line on your phone, don’t mention broadband, Bt Faults on 151.
    As for your FTTC its available in some areas between 40% & 80% of customers in enabled areas can receive it!

  • Problem with Youtube videos loading...

    I have had problems with Youtube since I have gotten my new Mac in November. (My old Mac would play them fine.) The videos will start loading and then stop. If I want to continue trying to watch a video I have to move the button around on the bottom to the right, and then back to the left. This does not always work though. The thing is, though, that it works at my school's campus. Just not at my house. However, I can watch Youtube videos on my mom's Sony Vaio. What can I do?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    YouTube streams some video content using the Flash Player plugin. Try uninstalling then reinstalling a new copy of the plugin.
    Uninstall Flash
    Install Flash
    Then Disk Permissions
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*

  • Nokia X6 will not stream youtube videos?

    I am with network3 and they supplied me with a sony erricson  witch I didnt like so I bought a nokia X6 from a freind witch was origionally on the vodafone network. I popped my 3 contract sim in and it worked great! I could connect to the internet no probs, even watch youtube videos with great sound etc. After a couple of weeks, I can access the internet but, even though I get to the you tube site; when I select a vid to play It says cannot connect ?
    3 have sent new settings to the phone now I have 8 "I think" but still I cant look at youtube vids! It worked 100% for a couple of weeks and there is no problem with the network as I have tried the sony erricson and that gets the vids no probs. help Please.

    You could try to download the latest youtube app from http://m.google.com to see if that solves your problem.
    Or bypass the apps altogether and visit http://m.youtube.com using the phone's web browser. That site is optimised for streaming to mobiles.
    Also check that Real Player has the correct access point set for streaming video.
    Menu > RealPlayer > Options > Settings > Streaming > Network > Access point in use
    This really is a big failing imho... you have to change a deeply buried setting for video streaming every time you use a different network to access the internet.

  • How to stream YouTube video in PDF document using ID 5.5?

    I'm using ID 5.5 and know how to insert a video into a document using the Media palette, "Insert video from URL" option. However, I need to stream a YouTube video in an interactive PDF document, and when I try to insert the link from YouTube into the "Insert Video from URL" box, ID doesn't recognize it. I assume this is because YouTube video links don't end with a typical video format file-name ending, such as ".mp4" or ".mov"
    Has anyone been able to stream a YouTube video into a document using ID 5.5? If so, how did you do it?
    Downloading the video and inserting it as a regular video file isn't an option because we need to keep the PDF file size down.
    Thanks much for any advice you may have!

    It can't be done. A YouTube video cannot be streamed in any digital publishing media—PDF, EPUB, or DPS.
    There are applications which claim to be able to convert a YouTube video into a real digital publishing format like H264-encoded MP4 (preferred), but you'll have to investigate those on your own.

  • Problems adding YouTube videos to a Clearbox 2.0 Lightbox

    Hi -
         I'm still fairly new to web design and Dreamweaver CS6. I am trying to put some YouTube videos into a Clearbox 2.0 Lightbox -- seems like a very elegant and effective way to display the videos. I have used the Clearbox 2.0 Lightbox successfully with still images/jpg files. When I try to use it to link to a YouTube video, however, I get a blank white box when I test it online. I know that it is possible to display YouTube videos in Clearbox: the example file includes a YouTube video, and it plays when tested. Here is the code that is included in the example file:
        <div class="item"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/OtQN-iDfprU" rel="clearbox[gallery=Gallery,,width=700,,height=490,,title=A clearbox 3 preview movie on YouTube,,comment=I uploaded some movies to YouTube from clearbox 3...]"><img src="example/no_youtube.gif" alt="youtube movie" /></a></div>
         My assumption was that I could simply change the http:// link and my desired video would replace the one in the example, but this is not the case. I change the code to what is pasted below and I get a blank white box.
        <div class="item"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc8SIQGxnXk" rel="clearbox[gallery=Gallery,,width=700,,height=490,,title=A clearbox 3 preview movie on YouTube,,comment=I uploaded some movies to YouTube from clearbox 3...]"><img src="example/no_youtube.gif" alt="youtube movie" /></a></div>
         I have tried creating a sample file in Dreamweaver that has nothing in it except the Clearbox widget and these two videos. The one with the pre-written YouTube link works, the other doesn't. What am I doing wrong? Or better, how do I do it right? Very grateful for any help that can be offered!
    - Rob

    Thank you for the response, Sudarshan. I did not have the page online, and in the process of trying to put something together to upload for you, I figured it out. For the benefit of others who may run into the same problem, here was the solution.
    In the code above, I was removing the sample YouTube http:// link and replacing it with the YouTube http:// link that I wanted. However, there was one more step that I needed to do. In that link, after http://www.youtube.com/ you need to replace watch?v= with v/ . Once I did that, everything worked like a charm!

  • Problems embedding youtube videos

    Ok, so i copy de code from youtube an directly paste it in indesign. I go to the overlay and enable autoplay. I did this before and it worked, now it doesn't. Anyone knows why??

    It could be a number of things. What isn't working? When you insert the embed code, an error message appears in the overlay frame that says the format isn't supported, but you can ignore that message (use a poster image to prevent it from appearing—see the DPS Tips app > Advanced Overlays > Streaming Video for details). Have you tried playing the overlay in the desktop viewer or on the iPad viewer?
    Can you get the YouTube video to play on the iPad outside of DPS? Some YouTube videos are still Flash-based and don't support HTML5.
    It sounds like you're editing the embed code properly:
    Doesn't work:
    <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xSZdntRnQVg?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
    Should work:
    <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xSZdntRnQVg?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
    Also, did you set the Web Content overlay to Auto Play?
    If you get it to work, please reply with, "I'm going to Disney World!"

  • Problem Viewing Youtube videos (skipping and stopp...

    Hi there,
    everytime i go to watch a youtube video the video will do one of a variety of things.
    1. The video never plays it will just show the buffering ring
    2. Videos that are short i.e. 30 seconds or so will start to play 1 or 2 seconds then skip straight to the end
    3. The video plays fine and then pauses repeatedly
    4. The video starts to play and somewhere during the video it skips right back to the start and plays from the beginning again.
    As you can imagine these problems are persistant and extremely annoying to say the least.  I would be very appreciative if anyone could offer any advice to sort these problems out.  I have bt Infinity (if that makes any difference)
    Cheers

  • I have a problem with youtube video's.

    Hello,
    Recently this problem keeps occuring.
    Whenever I "watch" youtube video's they load for a while and then just jump back and are stuck there and keep giving this loading icon.
    I did a Format C a while ago to re-install Mountain Lion and it still occurs...
    I also tried re-installing flash player, does anyone have any idea what to do?
    I'm a new OS X user and I love my macbook pro, but this is something I really don't understand while it's doing it.

    I know you said you reinstalled flash player but try again
    Uninstall adobe Flash player and re install and check the settings

  • Problems viewing Youtube videos

    Hi. I have a newbie question and my english is not very good. Do I have to change the flashplayer to view the videos of this channel correctly. Geldanlage Finanzberater - YouTube
    As I know chrome uses flashplayer, right?
    Thanks in advance

    Well, tried several things.
    Used AMDDrivertest (or something like that) to detect whether the most recent drivers for the videocard, which seems to be okay.
    Then, tested again (to be sure) if youtube video's played well when Shockwave Flash was deactivated. Yes it did.
    So I deinstalled Flash, and rebooted pc.
    Then downloaded and installed a quite old version of Shockwave Flash (11.6.8.638) and yes, youtube video's played well. But, then again, of course, the tv-site didn't work, for it needs the newest Flash player.
    So, uninstalled the flash again, debooted.
    Then, downloaded and installed the Shockwave Flash version as I have on my laptop, which is 11.9.900.170.
    And ... youtube vid's did'nt work again.
    And... the tv-site does work.  :-|
    I looked into the processes which could be related to Adobe Reader or Acrobat, (I have Creative Cloud) and stopped all those.
    Still no changes.
    So, for now, I don't know what else I could do, other than watch youtube only at my laptop :-)  (better for my workflow I guess :-)
    Could it be something with Creative Cloud? Seems to me it couldnt' for I stopped those processes.  I don't use that on my desktop.
    Still very strange.
    The only thing I can think of theres' some kinda bug in the latest Shockwave versions.
    I remember I had the same version as on my laptop installed before this one, then the problem started, and because of that I updated to the 12.0.0 43 version.
