Problems watching BP live feed on Safari

*+Is there a system setting somewhere where I could choose to open these kind of links in Quicktime player, (open url), instead of in my web browser, or to disable that Safari as the default application to open this kind of file/command so I could attempt opening them in another browser?+*
I have been trying to watch the live feed from the gulf oil spill.
When I do it causes Safari to freeze up. And it leaves windows open that require some skill to close.
Here is the address with a list of feeds available, depending on whether they are up and running.
http://www.bp.com/genericarticle.do?categoryId=9033572&contentId=7062605
When I click on one of the links it immediately opens up two pages, one with a BP page, (clearly that could have a live feed window on it, but doesn't), and another with a grey page with a quicktime window attempting to load, and an unresponsive Safari in the meantime with the spinning beach ball. (Summer fun!)
When the live feed is up, after Safari is unresponsive while it loads, it will eventually play, although I will get erratic behavior like an occasionally spinning beach ball, with Safari temporarily frozen. The individual tabs cannot be closed. The only way to get out is to close both tabs by clicking the red button on the window, and immediately pressing ok to close all tabs before the beach ball starts spinning again.
I have tried opening these pages and links in Firefox and Chrome, and strangely when I click the live feed links, it automatically opens them in Safari anyway. ??? Is there a system setting somewhere where I could choose to open these kind of links in Quicktime player, (open url), instead of in my web browser, or to disable Safari as the default application to open this kind of file/command so i could try them in another browser?
FYI, I do have a couple of plugins installed, one is Perian, and another is flip4mac.

HI,
If you right or control click a clear space anywhere on the page that link opens, the press Command + F on your keyboard, type in QuickTime. You won't get a response. They aren't using QT as their video format. In fact, I cant' figure out which one they are using.
I tried the same thing you did... no luck. You might try their web index page here: http://www.bp.com/siteindex.do?categoryId=9009861
I can't find anything on their site or the HTML what video format they require for this. I have Silverlight / Fliip4Mac / QT / and Flash so it's not one of those and my Java is turned on in Safari/Preferences - Security.
If it's just the video you are looking for, you can watch BP trying to seal the cap at the CNN site.
http://www.cnn.com/
When you click on the CNN / BP video you will be asked if you want to install a video enhancement plugin.. just click yes. The video will work after that.

Can't watch security camera feeds in Safari

I got a Security Camera system, I can watch the video feeds from the computer just fine (thru Safari), but when I try to check it in the iPhone, using Safari, I can see the interface (it's a website) but none of the videos show up.
The videos are in Quicktime, which is weird, I should be able to see them in the iPhone. What could be wrong?

First: Settings>Safari>Plug-Ins, are yours on?

Problems watching Netflix in Yosemite's Safari

Why can't I watch Netflix movies with Yosemite's Safari?, it says my computer can't playback premium video. I have just updated my os from Mavericks where I had no problems with it.

I already solved it: Enter Netflix and go to your account, then to your profile, then to Playback settings and there, uncheck the bottom option (prefer HTML5 instead of Silverlight), you should be able to play movies again... obviously, you have to have Silverlight in your computer.
The thing I don't like about this is that Apple says HTML5 is better in order to help save battery life... I will have to wait till Apple solves this issue so we can benefit of this.
Hope this helps.

While viewing some video or watching live feeds iPad is kicking back to iPad home page.

Recently, I have begun experiencing some glitches while viewing videos from Facebook and while watching Big Brother Canada live feeds. While watching the iPad will kick back to the iPad home page. When it does this it can take several seconds (an eternity compared to normal) to load the home page icons. It sticks on the blurred background without any icons for as stated several seconds. When I attempt to return to the live feeds I get the message "there was a problem with the page and it had to be reloaded. Can anyone help? Could this be a lack of memory because I haven't purchased additional storage space from iCloud?

IIt has nothing to do with ICloud storage. ICloud storage is for backups only and not for actual cloud staorage. Your problem could have something to do with the iPad 2's lack or RAM while running iOS 8. Try closing all other apps when you want to watch videos and see if that makes a difference. ResER your iPad as well after you close the apps.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
In order to reset your iPad, hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen after which time you can release the buttons and let the iPad start up.

I cannot watch live stream from NBC live extra using Safari

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac."
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.

Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
A bit more info:
-tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
-tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
-tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
-tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.

Problem recording live feed HVX-200 in 1080/24p on my computer

Hey,
I have been able to get a live feed from my HVX 200 onto the MacBook Pro at the Apple Store. I set the digitize tool to non-controllable device and to the corresponding codec selected on the camera and it works perfectly fine. When I try this on my laptop I can't get it to work. FCP sees my camera when both are set to DV NTSC, but any of the DVCPRO HD settings don't work. I feel like I have tried everyting, is there anything else anyone can suggest to solve this problem?
Thanks

How to have a live feed from application server log file (realtime viewr )

how to have a live feed from application server log file (realtime viewr for apps log files)
hi , thank you for reading my post.
is there any way to have a live feed of Application server log ?
for example is there any application that can watch the log file and show the changes as new log items come in ?
can some one with more experience help ?

Your question would be more suited to the Developer Forums
http://devforums.apple.com
but anyway...
My goal is to develop a web application that is able to run on iPhone too, to capture the audio and video content from its camera and mic.
Web Apps running in Safari don't have access to the camera or mic hardware.
Or I should built a native application distributed through Apple store?
That is your only option, although such a system already exists:

Can i watch a live webinar on my iPhone?

can i watch a live webinar on my iPhone?

If it is just a webinar you can log into using Safari it shouldn't be a problem. If the webinar provider is using Flash no you can't, iOS doesn't support Flash.
If you need an app to log in such as GoToMeeting or WebEx there seems to be apps for them.

Anyone have the problem I'm having with the Safari collecting cookies even when I'm not on a website? I cleaned everything out and checked several times. Each time cookies were added that I've never seen with my older version of Safari. I have the block third parties and advertisers but I don't think it works.

Video Camera Live Feed

Hey all!
I'm planning to use a video camera to show a "live feed" of an audience during an award ceremony. I have a slight problem as I was planning to create animations in flash and put them into a Keynote presentation. I cannot pre-record these "live feeds" as I was also going to show the winners of awards on the stage through the camera. Is there an application that allows you to show live feeds through either a Keynote presentation or even just full screen, as I will be showing the Keynote through a projector.
Thanks a lot,
James

You can have live video inside a keynote slide if that's what you are looking for. I just did it with a network camera. The problem is that it has about a three second delay... but if you want to show your local audience a remote "live" video within the presentation (without switching out and back), you can.
If you can open the stream with quicktime, save it as a quicktime movie and then import the movie in the slide. When played, it will connect and show the video, live minus a couple of seconds (in my case).
Playing a different source, such as a firewire DV stream would be great but I have not found out how. For now.
If you want to switch from a keynote presentation to video without a switcher, you can command-tab to a software that displays a full-screen video. For that I use EyeTV in full-screen mode at the same time as I play my presentation... need to show the video? click option-tab to switch back and forth between the two apps.
Hope this gives a few ideas.

Can I capture and record live feed on "Final Cut Pro X"?

I am an intern at my church and we are wanting to finish upgrading everything to mac at the church but we are needing a program that can capture live feed and later edit it so that I can create TV programs; hence, why I am needing to know can Final Cut Pro X capture live feed and record it? Along with that I need to know can I import avi. video files into Final Cut Pro X and it still allow me to edit them for our TV program? Thank you ahead of time for all of your help. Right now we are capturing in SD and I need to make sure it will also not be a problem capturing in SD and will make a smooth transition when we go to HD.

See here:
Re: import live video hvr v1e
The above discusses HDV over firewire which is high def, DV will be the same deal.
So it depends on what type of camera you are going to use.
If you jump to an AVCHD USB cam the game changes.
So far I'm not aware of a direct import method.
There are workarounds with additional equipment at present.
