Pulseaudio network stream stops after login on server

Hi, guys something strange is hapenning. I have 2 machines, a desktop station and a laptop. My audio system is connected to the desktop and so I wanted to be able to use it on my laptop. I have set up the dekstop as pulse server and my laptop is the client and I am able to connect them and playback over the network but this works as long as nobody is logged in on the server. After someone logs in the audio stops and the applications on my laptop which stream to the server freeze. After the user on the server logs out the playback resumes. What could be the reason for this?

I believe this a major Apple bug. This behavior is new and oftentimes (if ever) doesn't correct itself after a server reboot. It's ridiculous that you can't log into a network account at the server, even Windows isn't that stupid. I spent many hours w/ Apple's Enterprise support team and they never considered that to be an issue until later. That suggests to me that it's a problem they discovered after release of Yosemite and as a CYA tried to make us believe that it's expected behavior. The kb article that Linc references only indicates that users may have trouble logging in. Logging in is not the issue, it's that the Finder hangs for some unknown reason. However, once logged in you can traverse the directory structure no problem in Terminal. It's also strange that you get no error trying to mount a volume from the command line using diskutil even though it won't appear on the Desktop. Like Hydro_host I occasionally need to use my server as another workstation for my small home network. This needs to get fixed!

    Hi,
    Is this failing with Error 20 ?
    Sometimes in a the router or modem if you use Port Forwarding then you are your Buddy may be missing the Screen Sharing Port.
    The Screen Sharing part uses a different port to the Audio port.
    As the port for Audio (And therefore Video) are known and can be port Forwarded it is the random Screen Sharing port that can be the problem.
    iChat 3 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507 that includes Bonjour and Jabber info
    iChat 4 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2282
    If you are not using (or your Buddy) UPnP then I would change the method of opening the port to that.

  • Music streaming stops after a few songs

    I've read posts here on similar Home Sharing issues, here's mine. My iTunes library is on a networked HD, while iTunes itself is on a Windows laptop. The laptop and ATV are connected to the network wirelessly. The ATV usually finds my library, but when streaming music it stops after a couple songs. The only option is to then back out to the menus and reconnect (then, again, it'll play a couple songs and stop). If I connect both the laptop and ATV via ethernet and take it off wireless, will that help? Any other suggestions?

    I am hardwired to my network. After an hour or so my ATV Gen 2 stops streaming from my Imac Itunes? Under my computers on the ATV the library disappeared. If I down power the ATV it reappears and will eventually stop streaming and disappears again. I have home sharing turned on and have tried other things people have said on discussions. I have the firewall turned off, I have opened the necessary ports on my router ( D-Link DIR 825), turned off sleep mode on ATV and Imac, turned off screen savers on Imac. I can't understand why it would stop if it can connect and stay connected. It is as if there is something timing out.

  • ISA 550W : Youtube streaming stops after few seconds

    Since I have installed the ISA 550W, the Youtube videos stops after few seconds. It happens on all my devices : Windows 8, Samsung Smart TV, Android, Windows Phone...
    I have the lates firmware.
    This problem does not occur with other streaming site like DailyMotion.
    I diabled HTTP on antivirus but it has not changed anything. The web browsing is faster.
    Application control is not enabled.
    Any idea ? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    i have do more test on this problem today and after disable all services and enable one by one i arrive on result is the Anti Virus block or disturbe the good process on download file for you tube or for another system.
    My configuration is :
    Product : ISA 550W
    Firmware : 1.2.17
    ISP : free with maximum 1Mo download with test linux image file from here :
    http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/telechargement?action=dl
    I hope this can be help cisco to find quickly solution because this solution can be temporary.
    I no buy option "security services" to have this service disable.
    thanks
    The 09/10/2013 : you can enable anti-virus and disable HTTP scan and youtube work and download work fine.

  • Audio streaming stops after about 13 minutes.

    Audio streaming over the Internet just stops after about 13 minutes and has to be restarted. I need a solution

    Thanks for your help! You helped solve the issue, albeit indirectly...
    At this point, I want to share my experience, in the hope that it might be helpful to others:
    After finding that chapter markers had nothing to do with the problem, I found that indeed my camcorder was set to the dreaded 12 bit. Oh dear! The original DV tape is long gone. (At first I did not expect this to be a problem, since I had made several DVDs successfully with the existing settings, but then there are all these horror stories in discussions about what 12 bit can do to you.)
    So to rescue my movie, I found advice to "share" my iMovie back to a fresh DV tape, and then re-import it with the 16 bit setting.
    This lead to the next issue: After a number of minutes of re-exporting to DV tape, the video received by the camcorder would freeze, while the audio continued. This happened at several different points in several differerent attempts.
    So next I visited iMovie discussions, where I found advice to clean up my Mac. I used Mac Sweeper, and now indeed my Mac runs faster and smoother for many apps. I also downgraded my QuickTime version. But another attempt of exporting from iMovie to DV tape also failed, but now it failed at exactly the same point where the audio stopped in my DVD!!! (Even though on the export-to-DV-tape it was not the audio but the video that froze.)
    Next I found that when playing that problematic scene in iMovie, the iMovie program would also freeze at that very point, making it necessary to "force quit" out.
    In the end the solution was to chop out the problematic bit in that scene. Now everything works fine, including the iDVD step.

  • Streams stopped after license installed

    We just installed Flash Media Server license on our server
    and our streams stopped working immediately, but they were working
    fine with the development version. Does anyone know what's
    happening?

    I am actually having the same issue. Using the development
    version, I was able to get 4 live streams from our remote locations
    into webpage which we use for video conferencing. Worked like a
    charm in testing. Once I put in the License, the stream connections
    stopped.
    The remote locations use Flash Media Encoder 2 to connect to
    our server hosting Flash Media Server 3. When trying to connect
    without the license, works awesome. With the license added, FME2
    gives an "unable to connect" message and FMS3 won't allow the
    connection.
    The license I have is for Flash Streaming, not Flash
    Interactive.

  • Streaming Stops After approx One minute - then it reboots

    Apple tv Stops after approx one minute - in Streaming from PC as well as in playing Radio via web. Them. It seems to restart.
    Alteady loaded latest SW Version ant tried the reset - any idea from THE real Experts?

    Try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If that doesn't help, try downloading another App from the App store.

  • HTTP Stream stops after instant encoder connection lost

    Hi,
    We use amazon cloud front and Open Broadcaster to livestream also using jwplayer. Some time we experience internet problem on our local system and encoder lost its connection to server but it just took 1 or 2 second. RTMP stream not effecting by this problem and all clients works fine but mobile client (iphone, ipad) stuck last 10 second before connection lost and playing this 10 second every time when i open stream on my tablet.
    The only solution that i have find, deleting these folder and restarting server.
    mnt/application/livepkgr/streams
    mnt/application/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent
    I use this FMS url "rtmp://<server-adress>/livepkgr?adbe-live-event=liveeven"t and Play path/stream key is "kamera5"
    Url for jw payer is, http://<server-adress>/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/kamera5/event.m3u8
    Also, I figured out today the .m3u8 file not updating after connection lost with new .ts file, it is always same when i download it every time.
    How can i setup the server to play http after instant connection losts?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    Is the encoder configured to use Absolute Time Code (ATC)
    This is necessary for HLS and HDS. It is required for smooth transition between different stream bitrates and in cases of encoder failure and/or restart.
    This could be the root of your issue when the connection between encoder and publishing server is interupted.
    Bit more detail:
    ATC comes as timestamps within the header of Messages Packet format for the RTMP.
    RTMP message packets format has been defined here http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/rtmp/pdf/rtmp_specifi cation_1.0.pdf
    Basically the timestamp field in Type0 chunk must be a absolute time based on some wall clock.
    Timestamp field is interpreted as integral number with least count as 1 millisecond and it should be always increasing.
    This is how the timestamps would look with following events from encoder
    Without ATC
    With ATC
    Publishing start
    Publishing start
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 0 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 12000 ms
    Sending rtmp video message, timestamp 2 ms
    Sending rtmp video message, timestamp 12002 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 4 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 12004 ms
    Sending rtmp video message, timestamp 5 ms
    Sending rtmp video message, timestamp 12005 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 6 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 12006 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 8 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 12008 ms
    Publishing Stop -
    Publishing Stop -
    Wait for 1000 seconds
    Wait for 1000 seconds
    Publishing Start again
    Publishing Start again
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 0 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 13008 ms
    Sending rtmp video message, timestamp 3 ms
    Sending rtmp video message, timestamp 13011 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 4 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 13012 ms
    Sending rtmp video message, timestamp 6 ms
    Sending rtmp video message, timestamp 13014 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 7 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 13015 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 8 ms
    Sending rtmp audio message, timestamp 13016 ms
    So here timestamp is the timestamp defined for Message header of the RTMP protocol. It is integral number of milliseconds. As you notice here, in case of ATC based timestamps, they are based on actual wall clock, always increasing.
    Can you check on the encoder side that ATC is configured ?
    Thanks.

  • Video streaming stops after partial download on apple tv

    Hi. I've got wild blue internet, an HP Pavilion running iTunes in Windows XP, an airport extreme base station, apple tv, and a macbook. I've had the apple tv for about 7 months, connected over wireless. I've never been able to watch youtube videos. They partially load and start playing, but only go about half way and stop. They almost never fully load. I can watch the same video on the macbook over wireless, and it works just fine. I had assumed it was an apple tv problem, and hoped the new software update would fix it. It hasn't. Same situation, except now it's worse because I'd actually like to watch trailers and rent movies, but they still only partially load.
    Content on the HP computer syncs properly with ATV. I can watch the movies and listen to the music just fine. It's only content that streams from the internet that messes up, and only with apple tv. I also wondered if the satellite internet was a problem, but if it is, it's only with apple tv. Youtube and movie trailers work fine on the macbook over wireless.
    Any ideas?

    Hello Winston,
    I was initially just trying to watch ANY trailers. Virtually everything on ATV stalled after a minute or so. Switching to exclusively wireless n transmission from the AEBS seems to have fixed everything. We haven't tried to download movies, but probably won't since we're on satellite internet and have a fair access policy that limits our downloads to 17 gig a month. That's plenty for youtube and other normal usage, but I'm afraid too many movies would mess things up.
    Wildblue has a configuration utility that we can set up on the computers, but nothing like that for ATV. I had thought that might be the problem originally, so I used a macbook (2.0 CD) that hadn't run the configuration setup, and it still worked fine for youtube stuff.
    I didn't know things were streaming from different sources, when I was trying to watch the same video. Makes sense though. Thanks for the reply.

  • Remote webapp freezes immediately after login in Server 2012 R2

    Used the wizard and setup made a RDS deployment.  2 session hosts 1 server for Connction broker and License  and one server for Gateway and web access.
    Regular remote desktop works fine.  Even through the web interface.
    I just published Calc.  When I try to access it and show the details, it logs on the then freezes at "Preparing Windows".  Then the window will time out and close.
    I am unable to find anything in the event viewer regarding this.
    Anybody have some suggestions?

    Hi,
    How is everything going on? 
    Firstly I would like to know, which version of RDP client you are using in your environment. I suggest to use RDP 8.0 or 8.1 for better feature and also the user must always use Domain\Username whenever logging to RDWeb App. 
    You can try to change the path of RemoteApp as per this
    thread (Answered by phil). Also try to make default logon domain for RD Web, get more information from
    this thread.
    Hope it helps!

  • Ip inspect, streaming stops

    Hi all,
    I am afraid that due to ip inspect settings, streaming stops after a couple of seconds. I have created an ip inspect name to inspect for tvp and udp traffic on the wan interface and it inspects traffic going out.
    What could cuase such issues with streaming as I remember that without any inspect commands streaming works excellent.
    Thanks !

    Hello,
    I would start by enabling the firewall logs ('ip inspect log drop') to see if the inspection is dropping packets for your connection. This should also give you an idea of the reason for the drop so you can remedy it.

  • Live streaming stops automatically after 15 minutes

    I am using flash media server 3 and flash media encoder 2.5.
    From media encoder I am sending data to media server and then in
    browser I am running flex application (version 3) to view the live
    stream. I am not saving it in flv file. After 15 mintues live

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • 10.4.11 clients failing after login to 10.5.8 server

    I am going crazy trying to setup our xserver this year. I had it running last year without any problems. This year, the 10.4.11 clients keep losing connection to the server after login. After login, the Home folder is there, then gone. You can see it disappear. The log reads "cannot mount /network/Servers/mac.ourdomain.edu.au/volumes/t_home/teacher error 22 (Invalid Argument)"
    Leopard clients seem fine.
    I have tried everything - rebinding; reinstalling many times. I thought the path to home folders might be too long; so I made the shortname smaller to get under 89, but I've never had to do this before. Changeip returns no errors. DNS is fine - there are some errors to certain addresses "could not update - permission denied". However these machines are not losing connections. I tried a dummy set up on a different address but got no further. Can anyone post and tell me:
    1. AFP connect via : I usually use Standard to avoid Kerberos timeouts - is this the problem?
    2. Guest access: supposedly helps with Tiger clients - true?
    3. Total path to home folder - Tiger setting?
    4. Login to the server to set up sharing in Server admin using IP Address ok?
    I have never had these sorts of problems. Do I just need to wipe the pre 10.5 clients? They have been set to the same IP for years so I'm wondering what I should do there. Is it DNS? I can get more log files tomorrow.
    Btw, not just beginner - I have spent a fair bit of money and time on training and have had many successful set ups at school, but really struggling here. Any tips or brickbats please . . . thanks very much.

    Unless things have changed, Guest Access must be on the User share on the server.
    The workstation needs access to resources prior to a user actually logging in.
    We use Kerberos only for our 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 clients. We also use the DHCP and DNS service on the Mac servers.
    We set guest access allowed in the AFP section and in File Sharing / Protocol Options. That does not mean that you actually need to give the Guest account access, just that it must be on.
