Program stream won't play

The NPR Program Stream will no longer play in iTunes and I don't know how to fix it. I click on play and nothing happens. Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem with my local NPR station since upgrading iTunes. In my case, I click on the "launch" button on the website and the streaming plays for about 5 seconds (the station identification), and then music from my iTunes library starts to play. I haven't changed anything other than upgrading to iTunes 9.
I have checked the website streaming on a PC using Windows Media Player, and it works fine there.

  • Video live stream won't play

    My Maxx plays some live news videos and sometimes it does not depending on the site. I tried different video players like the MX and others to no avail. I tried on chrome
    And other browsers.
    Not sure which way to go with this.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    I went to a Verizon store (agent) yesterday after work and tried the S4. They didn't have a live S5, and it did play the sites I normally use. The iPhone was able to live stream it also. I think its the Razor Max that's missing whatever it needs to play those videos.... plug ins, etc....
    Its mind boggling with all these phones out there.
    Anyway, thanks for your input, Suzy.

  • M3u streams won't play in non-admin account

    Using Firefox 3.6.8 with Win XP SP3 with auto updates.
    After years of being able to go to Amazon.com and click on an mp3 preview button (streams m3u format), I can no longer do so in my user account - I get a "What should Firefox do with this file?" dialog. Clicking on the link works fine if I log in as admin - it plays seamlessly. When I look in my user account Options -> Applications form as non-admin, I see "M3U file" listed in Content Type. Action is "Always ask." That Content type is not listed in the admin account's browser's list.
    It frustrates me to NO END when things that worked perfectly fine no longer work.
    Please advise!!!!

    After looking at another post (How do I remove a filetype from the Applictions Menu), I succeeded in removing m3u from my Application's Content Type in my user-account but it did not solve my problem. I still get a "What should Firefox do with this file?" dialog.
    Crap!!!

  • CBC streams won't play

    Using iTunes' "Radio" function, I cannot get the CBC station streams in the Classical category to play.  Others seem to work OK.

    OTHER
    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Likely the podcast files
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Audio stream won't play in Premiere, but does in FCP?

    I got some footage to edit from a director who shot the project on the Sony XDCam3. He then converted the footage to MOV's in a software that Sony provides so he could give it to me to edit. He wants the project edited in Premiere Pro 5.5 because that's what he's got on his machine and if he wants to, he'd like to make changes later on. So, the problem is the footage imports fine. The video stream is there and plays, but the audio stream just seems empty. It's there, but no audio. I then tested the same clip in FCP and it works perfectly. Plays fine, video and audio. I'm not sure what the issue is. I'm attaching a screen shot of the specs on the clips if that might help get to the bottom of what my issue is. Thanks so much for any help on this!

  • Live stream won't play on Windows

    We're using QTSS and QTBroadcaster to stream a live event. Everything works fine on Mac clients, but Windows clients simply can't get the stream unless it's opened directly in QuickTime Player. We have a website with an embedded link for the stream, and have tried setting it up using both a raw <embed> tag and javascript (per Apple's instructions).
    Windows browsers display the page and the QT logo where the movie should be; no browser (Win or Mac) is able to display the stream directly, without an enclosing website. This is a change from last year, when we just put up a URL to the stream. It all worked last year; we didn't change a thing, and expected it to just work again. It doesn't. I am confused, frustrated, and more than a little discouraged and disgusted. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    I was finally able to make the page work by adding attributes to pass to the QT plugin; it works using IE 7 and 8, and Safari; it does not work with FireFox on any platform (Windows or Mac), so we directed FireFox users to view the link directly in the QT Player or use a different browser.
    Use the "Download the JavaScript files" link at http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html and save the file according to the instructions on that page. Then use the following bit of JavaScript on your page to embed the QT player, assuming the stream is at MY.WEBSITE.COM and is called QTMOVIE.SDP:
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    QT_WriteOBJECT('samplemovie.mov', '540', '420', '',
    'qtsrc', 'rtsp://my.website.com/qtmovie.sdp',
    'autoplay', 'true',
    'type', 'video/quicktime',
    'emb#bgcolor', 'black',
    'align', 'middle');
    </script>
    The embedded player (in this example) will be 540x420. It's important to include the player size, otherwise it tends to get masked and you will see only part of the picture (for example, a 200x160 piece in the middle).
    Hope this saves someone else a little trouble.

  • Mms streams won't play

    I ran the recent 10.6.4 update. A bit earlier in the day I ran a Flip4mac update. For whatever reason, I cannot stream an NPR station. The stream is mms://imedia.unr.edu/kunr. Quicktime replies that it does not recognize the mms prefix. Quicktime 7 runs the link fine. I note that VLC tries to open the link, but fails. Why doesn't Quicktime open the link? What changed?
    Everything worked fine this morning. What's up?
    jm

    Okay. I figured it out. Yesterday I ran two updates...the 10.6.4 update, and a Flip4mac update. Somehow, the mms:// stream from KUNR got associated with VLC. What threw me off was that the URL for the stream would not open manually with QT player.
    I went to system prefs and clicked on the Flip4mac icon. Under the Player tab, there was an option to "reclaim file associations" for windows media files.
    After clicking, everything was back to normal.
    Thanks for your support!

  • Compressor making problem Program Stream Mpeg2s?

    I'm having an ongoing discussion with the manufacturer of our video playback server (Leightronix Nexus) at our station. The box uses Mpeg2 Program Streams for playback.
    I have Compressor 3.0.2. The Nexus playback is having occasional stutter problems playing back the Mpeg2 fies created by Compressor. I've verified bitrate, compressor settings, reimported the original footage, etc, but nothing seems to help. Finally I got a response back from Leightronix that reads:
    "The problem is Compressor is not very good at creating a MPEG-2 Program stream file. Use ffmpegX to convert your MPEG-2 transport stream from Compressor to a MPEG-2 Program stream that will play fine on the NEXUS."
    I'm trying to get additional technical information from them on exactly what Compressor is or is not doing, but I'd thought I'd ask first if anyone else has had issues with the Mpeg2 PS output from Compressor for anything they're doing? All these files play fine on the Mac itself, it's just when they actually air for us.
    Kris

    Further information about this problem ... the issue is that Compressor is creating a VBR file which has some problems. In portions of the video where there is a mostly white background or mostly black background (say a white screen with a single word of text), and creating an Mpeg2 Program Stream with VBR (6 min, 7.2 max), the algorithm will cause the bitrate to go way below the minimum during that portion of the file. Quicktime will play it correctly but other playback machines have a problem with it.
    We were able to get around the problem by just setting Compressor to CBR @ 7.2 but it's still an issue. If anyone at Apple wants a copy of the Quicktime MOV we were converting, contact me at [email protected] and I'll get it to you.

  • FLV files won't play in other programs

    Has anyone experienced this...
    I encode FLV's using PP CS3 with no hickups during the encoding. They play fine in Windows Media Player (latest version). But not all players play them. I put them on our streaming server and they won't play in our web pages using the Dreamweaver player. They play fine if i use the jeroenwijering media player but not Adobe's own media player which comes with Dreamweaver.
    My biggest problem is that I have several FLV files that I need to convert to some other video format (AVI, MPG, etc.) But none of the programs I've tried will even recognize the FLV files created with PP CS3.
    I used Movavi FLV converter and Riva FLV Encoder and a couple others and nothing works.
    Has anyone else experienced this and have they found a solution?

    I cannot help you with the playability issues of your FLV's, but:
    My biggest problem is that I have several FLV files that I need to convert to some other video format (AVI, MPG, etc.) But none of the programs I've tried will even recognize the FLV files created with PP CS3.
    I use Moyea's FLV Plug-in for PrPro. IIRC, it works fine in CS3, though is not supported under CS4.
    To date, I have yet to be handed an FLV that it would not Import and edit properly. Thing that I like about it, is that it's a true plug-in and there is no conversion necessary.
    I've used FLV-to-AVI, and it's slow. Also, the conversion is an extra step.
    Good luck,

  • AppleTV won't play netflix programs

    Netflix works on my IPad but won't mirror to Apple TV. Other Apps work, e.g. PBS, Vimeo,  on Apple TV, only the Netflix programs won't play on the Apple TV.
    What should I do?  Thanks

    Same issue here. Any feedback? Some prior posts suggest that if any of your sub-accounts (profiles) have an ampersand in them, that kills the streaming on an ATV (so don't call your profile "name & name" for instance).
    I've been on the phone multiple times with Netflix. They blame the ISP (rediculous since all other devices on our network stream just fine). I've done all they've asked for (cylced the ATV, reset the ATV, cycled the router, etc.). No change.
    The software on the ATV is up to date also. Issue started maybe a month ago?
    What's going on?!?

  • Video Streaming in Windows media player won't play through Airport Extreme

    Hello and thank you for reading my issue.
    I have the current square shaped airport extreme base station. My mother has a Windows XP system on her Toshiba laptop and she takes an online class which has video streaming for the lectures. When we connect to the network wirelessly or with an ethernet cable through the base station, the video will not begin to buffer and won't play from the website. It just states ready and doesn't buffer. However, if we connect the laptop straight to our cable modem without the base station, the videos stream and play perfectly. Anybody know how we can fix this to play through the wireless network? Thanks a lot.
    MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I've played with all sorts of software settings and configurations. This is what worked for me, but I'm not sure how it would work for anyone else, or if the issues are even related, but here goes.
    1 - Turn multicast rate to 1 MBPS in the drop down menu found in Airport Utility>Airport icon>Wireless Options Button.
    2 - Turn off multicast in Windows Media Player or Real Player
    3 - Turn on Video Overlay Optimization check box in Real Player.
    These things worked for me, hopefully they will help or give you some ideas for your own situtation.

  • .aiff files won't play in finder (and some programs)

    Mac Pro 4.1
    Doing some long-overdue file cleanup, and when I preview some .aiff files in the finder they won't play.  The Apple  .aiff sound effect files play, but things I've recorded won't play, although they will play if imported into iTunes.  Other audio formats are playing fine in Finder.
    Also, a recording program I sometimes use called Tracktion will play files in other formats, but my .aiff files are silent or pure harsh static.
    Is there a global setting that might be corrupted somewhere?  Could this be the fault of my recent Mavericks installation?
    Thanks!

    I came across the same problem in Mavericks, some wav files played, others didn't. I found that adding '.wav' to the end of files that didn't audition in Finder cured the problem.
    As I have many thousands of sound fx files in different formats, changing them individually was not possible.
    There are batch conversion apps which will add the .wav (or other format endings) when batch converting - this is what I have been doing. Export them with no change to format but the filename is now correct to audition.
    Mavericks broke the two things I liked most - auditioning sounds, movies, pictures etc from Finder, and the file/folder highlight colours. Just a stupid coloured dot now.

  • Droid Razr Bug.  Won't play streaming audio from websites.

    My Droid Razr won't play streamed audio from a website and won't play .wav files attached to e-mails.  That's annoying.  
    Motorola tech support said problem will be fixed upon next upgrade of Android OS.  
    My phone is currently running Android OS 2.3.5.  
    Does anyone now of a quicker fix?
    Does anyone know when an OS upgrade will be available for the Droid Razr?
    Thx!

    i got the same issue on my ipod. i figured the whole idea of converting the format would solve the issue. never really found out how to solve it. i'll be watching this post to see if anyone has a solve for this issue.

  • HT2688 Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help

    Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help please

    I also have this problem, as does everybody else I know who has tried to use the video in icloud. As the original poster says, they can be uploaded, but will only play on the device from which they were originally uploaded, appeaering only as images which display an endless buffering symbol when "played" on any other devices with which the photostream is shared.
    Has anyone been able to get this to work? And if not, why is there no acknowledgement from Apple that this bug exists and will be addressed in an update (now running 7.0.2 and still no improvement)? It was, after all, advertised as one of the attractive new features of iOS 7. So why the stony silence?
