Quicktime Not Playing Online Stream

I've been trying to listen online to a radio station, at http://www.fan590.com/ (Listen Live link at top right). I've tried opening it normally, without downloading anything, and it doesn't work. I've tried downloading that flip4mac program but that doesn't work either. Should this be able to open in Quicktime or will it never work on my Mac?

It works OK for me. I don't see any URL directly to the stream, so it won't work via QuickTime Player. You'll have to listen via a web browser. If you get a blank window with only "Skip" after clicking the Listen Live link, click the "Skip". You should then get the page with the player and it should begin the stream automatically. Make sure you have the latest Flip4Mac plugin.
Hope this helps.

  • Why does my Mac not play this streaming radio station

    Hi all.
    I have no trouble listening online to streaming radio at this site:
    www.6ix.com.au/streaming/stream.htm
    Yet when I try to listen to another online station, CurtinFM Radio found at:
    www,curtinfm.com.au/listen-now.html
    The 'connection' window comes up but when I try to connect I am advised that something or other is not supported.
    Both stations utilize Quicktime to play, and as far as I can tell I am up to date with Quicktime updates.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi there.
    That was quick!
    Yes I do have FlipMac installed and again, I think that it is up to date. By default both stations open in Quicktime. I think that I have fiddle with FlipMac in the past without results in this regard, so at the moment I seek guidance as I am stuck. More advice in FlipMac I will also try.
    P.S. I am at the present listening to 1080AM radio on my Windows machine <:-{
    Mind you, this IS my kind of music. Geeze, I hope this does not date me.

  • SpryTabbedPanel: Flash player in tabs do not play video streams

    Note: I am a complete noob (no experience with Javascript and rudimentary experience with htlm/css). Please be patient (I hope that this is the correct forum for this) and know that I am appreciative of any help or solution that anyone can provide.
    Using Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac OS 10.5.8
    We recently switched all of our streaming servers from Windows Media (good riddance) to Flash Media Server 3.5 (now getting awesome H.264 quality in comparison).
    I was asked to re-design this webpage with the aim of re-organizing the content so that it is more accessible:
    http://www.librarymedia.net/VideoGallery.html
    We used Adobe's test page for our first page:
    http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/videoplayer.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.4/live/livestr eam&type=live&idx=10
    This was meant as a temporary page to get us started, and as you can see, it needs work but at least it works.
    I've been working the the final version of this page. My boss wants a tabbed web page with links to our video streams (tab for each category of streams).
    This is what I have so far:
    http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash2/videoplayer2.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.4/live/lives tream&type=live&idx=10
    I realize that I had several options before building this. One, I could have made a separate page for each tab and linked them with a tab menu. In hindsight, this might have been a better option since I could have just copied the working page that we already have for each tab. Or I could have done what I have tried to do: to use Dreamweaver's SpryTabbedPanel to make the tabs and insert a Flash player with links into each tab.
    The problem:
    1. The streams do not play. The player says "initializing" and then "please enter a stream name and play". Please note that I used SpryURLutils to get each link to open in the appropriate tab.
    2. After reading about the benefits of external vs. inline javascript, I took all of the inline javascript that was contained in Adobe's sample page and placed it in an external file. I tried placing the javascript back into the source code (inline), but this did not fix the problem. I guess there is a Javascript problem or I need extra Javascript code to get this to work.  The javascript code is below. Use view source in your web browser to see source code. Please let me know if I need to provide more information.
    Thanks.

    Should I have posted this in the Spry forum instead? My apologies if this is the wrong forum.
    >There is a sample application of the code included with the zip file  which shows how to implement it.
    The sample doesn't really tell me what I need to do to the code to make it work (I do not know javascript), and unfortunately, I have not found any helpful instructions/documentation online. You've given me the answer, I just don't know enough to implement it. This is what I've done:
    1. Placed the FAVideo.js file in my site folder and linked it to the page: <script src="FAVideo.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    2. I added the following code (taken from the SimpleDemo.html example inside the FAVideo folder). My comments in bold. Page at
    http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash2/videoplayer2.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Ol ympics2010_640x480.mov
             <! To the <body> section:-->
    <body onLoad="">
        <div id="divOne"></div>
    <!-Do I have to place the entire page within the "divOne" div (or just the section containing the tabs) in order for the javascript to work?-->
             <!-In the <head> section: -->
       <script type="text/javascript">
            playerOne = new FAVideo("divOne", "TabbedPanels1", "demo_video.flv",0,0,{ autoLoad:true, autoPlay:true });
        </script>
    <!- I noticed that the body code added a div id called "divOne", so I added the "TabbedPanels1" div id to the above code thinking that this would apply the javascript code to all of the tabs. Dreamweaver adds <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels"> to the page when you insert the tabbed menu, so I'm thinking the javascript has to point to either one of those for it to work. The "demo_video.flv",0,0 code is probably unneccesary, right? As you can see, I'm completely clueless. -->
        <script>
            playerOne.addEventListener("playheadUpdate",this,myHandler);
            playerOne.removeEventListener("playheadUpdate",this,myHandler);
            function myHandler() {
                //alert("eh");
        </script>
    </body>

  • Quicktime not playing SMIL mime type

    I was trying to stream some audio of file type .smil. The computer in question did not have Real Player installed, so the finder started a QuickTime Player to play the file. The player failed to load and play the file. In fact, when the file in question was dragged to the player, it wasn't recognized.
    In the QuickTime Prefs, Advanced, Mime Types, SMIL 1.0 was unchecked. I checked it, but the QuickTime Player's behavior didn't change.
    Is it the case that another player, such as RealPlayer, must be installed to play those files? Or is there a way to get QuickTime to play them? Or ... ?
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    No, my question hasn't really been answered ... but it's been sort of addressed in another forum, kind of. Might as well get this question off the board.

  • Embedded Quicktime not playing correctly in InDesign PDF - please help!!

    ok - I have an issue that I can't work out and I'm hoping someone can help - tried searching for an answer to no avail. I've just built my first interactive PDF portfolio in InDesign. I should point out that I'm a producer/editor, so my knowledge of InDesign & Acrobat is not extensive. The PDF includes some embedded Quicktime movies. The movies play normally on one of my monitors (Samsung 1680x1050), but will not play correctly on my other two monitors (2x Samsung 1280x1024) - the audio plays and the play controller appears to be working but the video area is just all white...HOWEVER...if I open the PDF and play just one of the videos on my 1680x1050 monitor first, then all videos play correctly on all monitors. Have tried opening the PDF on another desktop and the movies do not work (in the same manner as above)- also tried on my laptop and the movies play correctly. Please help if you can - I need to get this out to clients and I'm baffled!! Thank You!

    Is it as easy as wmode: transparent after shoving the swf into a table??? does the transparent option make everything outside the table dissappear? thanks...

  • Why does the new Quicktime NOT play my old MOV files?

    Hi Folks.
    I'm using the lasted updated Yosemite on a 3-year old iMac.
    Back in my early iMac days (3 years ago), I imported my camcorder's AVCHD files
    into iMove or Final Cut Express and converted them to Quicktime MOV files.
    Turns out they were rendered by Apple or Final Cut into MOV files using the
    Apple Intermediate codec.  I had no choice over this.
    Until I upgraded to Yosemite, I was able to preview any of these movies
    very easily in the Finder.  Simply highlight the movie, press the spacebar,
    and it opens, in a real-time, real-size screen, with a simple play-pause button
    in the progress bar at the bottom.  Never had a problem with any previous
    Mac OS.
    Now when I click on the file in the finder, instead of a movie preview, I get a
    big, silent QT "Mov" icon that just sits there looking silly.
    I double click it to open it up in Quicktime, and it attempts to go through this
    lengthy conversion process, taking at least as long as the movie is in minutes,
    then asking me if I want to save this new "converted" version.
    Fortunately, I have an old version of Quicktime 7 on my Mac, and QT 7 opens it
    and plays it no problem.  No "conversion" necessary.  No cumbersome and
    space-hogging needs to create a "cloned" copy, just so the new, lame version
    of Quicktime can play it.
    What's up, Apple?  AIC was YOUR codec that YOUR SOFTWARE chose to
    transcode into.  Now, your new Quicktime does NOT support this codec?
    And your old version does?  And why might THAT be?
    Really, this is so elementary.  This is not rocket science.  Just like JPG images
    not displaying properly in Mac Mail now.  It begs the question "why" ...?
    I mean, for the elementary preview abilities that always made Mac such a
    friendly computer ... *uh* ... where is that?
    And here we go, wasting hours of time, looking for fixes that should not
    have to be "fixed"...
    Did I miss something?  Or did you?

    Aeclay: here's a couple of ideas.  And an answer to your earlier post.
    Basically two options to work with here:
    Store the files as native AVCHD files... OR
    Convert the files to Quicktime
    I keep two archives of my AVCHD recordings, partly for backup, and partly for Sony's ability to archive nicely in it's own native format on it's PC-friendly utility called "PMB".  (came wtih both my NEX and ALPHA cameras).   I have an old PC that I use for my complete archive; Sony's PMB utility works only on PC's and will do a good job both of archiving, providing a thumbnail database, and re-writing your choice to removable media in it's typical Sony hierarchy.
    If you've only got Mac's, you can still archive your AVCHD recordings; copy them to folders named or organized to your own spec's.   AVCHD is a high-quality compression format, and they'll take up way less disk space than converted Quicktime MOV files.   You can open and play all AVCHD movies quite easily with VLC player.
    The only extra trick to be aware of here is this.  The only reason you would need to preserve the intact "sony" folders (named "AVCHD" / "BMDV" etc) is is you were using Adobe Premiere as a video editor.  Somehow, it needs the hierarchical folder stuff in place to properly index the files.  Not mandatory, but helpful if  you are a Premiere user.  Otherwise, forget the weird "package" folders; just right-click (ctrl-click) on them, choose "view package contents" and MOVE the MTS files out of the Sony hierarchy for permanent storage.  Use VLC player to open and view them.
    From that point on,  you have control over how you manage the files and what intermediate or end-user format you convert them to for your own use.
    I'm not clear on your other question about the files that add the word "converted" on.  Of course Mac will convert to Quicktime MOV files.  Not sure what codec they're using now, likely H.264.  Anyway, don't bother converting.  It'll take up a lot of time and waste a lot of disk space.
    ps. I just found this free utility on the internet.  It's called "MTS CONVERTER". I have not tried it, but it claims to be able to convert all AVCHD files to various useable formats.
    Good luck!  (and happy Valentine's Day!)

  • Safari does not play movie stream

    Does anyone have any idea why Safari does not play the movies on the web page
    http://www.3sat.de/delta/
    You can find them under "Web-TV" (you have to click a little bit until a small window opens which has a button called "video starten" at the bottom right).
    I believe the movies are reaplayer video streams.
    Needless to say that the movies work just fine in Firefox ...
    Any ideas, hints, pointers will be appreciated.
    Best regards,

    Hello Gabriel,
    The video does play for me in a popup window via realplayer.
    it also has the option to open in WMP.

  • Quicktime not playing Apple ProRes (Proxy) 1080p video - help!

    Hey guys I have a Apple ProRes (Proxy) 1080p video sent to me via Firevilla from a friend in the states - which simply says - "will not play - quicktime does not understand the format and may need additional software." All my software updates have been made. Does anyone know if I actually need a specific ad on??!! Or what is going on here!!??
    Many Thanks

    Because you're using QT 6.5.2 you can't view all QuickTime content. Quite a lot of pages are now using H.264 video and it can't be viewed using 6.5.2.
    Try one of my pages to test your browser plug-in and QT version:
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/California/index.html
    The file is about 3MB's. If it plays correctly your browser and QT version are OK.
    The plug-in settings can be found in the QT Control Panel (under MIME settings). You can also check your browser preferences for "helpers".

  • Quicktime not playing iMovie project

    Hi, I recently completed a slideshow on iMovie and after exporting the file, quicktime will not play it. It's currently in .mp4 format. Currently I can only play it by opening up iMovie, which is very inconvenient; I'd like to be able to view it using quicktime so that I can play it on a PC as well if necessary.

    Hello HazyCloud7
    Check the settings for exporting to make sure that that it comes out the way you want it. You can also send it to iTunes to make sure that it comes out and can be viewed in iTunes on all computers.

    According to the Quicktime Pro manual it should.........and there is no mention of third party software needed. I was sold this product to burn my DVD collection and Quicktime cannot even play a DVD... Here is the manual text:

  • Quicktime not playing after publishing page

    I have a 13MB .mov quicktime which plays fine not only in iWeb and on its own, but plays when I put it loose in the Site folder and direct the browser to it, however when I add it to my site via iWeb and then publish, it shows up with a question mark over the quicktime. All my other movies with the same format play just fine, except for this one:
    http://web.mac.com/jamin.duncan/iWeb/Site/BestBuy_Holiday4.html
    if you remove the /BestBuy_Holiday4.html which is the iWeb html file and add /BBY_Pickup.mov it will play fine.
    It's driving me crazy. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I think my problem may be related.
    I have all the latest versions of everything.
    I used iWeb to create and publish my site, took a week of trying with repetitive errors, finally successful.
    However, some of the videos on my website only show a big blue "Q" with a question mark inside, and cannot play the video. The other videos show a "TV screen" with the beginning of the video displayed, I can click play and they play. But the problem of some videos just showing the "Q" confuses me. Thoughts?
    I read the suggestion to look inside the Media folder to see if the movie file is there, but I don't know what this si or where to find it!

  • Quicktime not playing any videos!

    So here's the issue. Quicktime just isn't playing videos. Used to, suddenly stopped working. I'll open a video file, QT will launch, the window for the video comes up, but all i get is black screen, play icon switches to pause icon for about a second, then it goes back into a paused mode. Clicking play again does nothing. Video works fine on VLC, and quicktime video is playing fine in browsers (on Apple site, for example). What gives? No software updates coming up for QT.

    Doesn't Quicktime automatically covert and play videos?
    Not for formats it doesn't support, no. While QuickTime can play some AVI-format videos (AVI is just a container format and may use any number of different codecs), it can by no means play all of them, and XVID is not a supported codec in QuickTime. I'm not aware of any XVID plugin for QuickTime for Windows available at this time (the XVID consortium says that they're working on QT support, but no details have been made available as to timeframe), so you'll probably need to use some other player such as VLC Media Player to play your XVID AVI content.
    Regards.

  • Quicktime not playing black magic codec files, or avi

    Hello!
    I'm on a new macbook pro (17"). my friend on an older mac laptop can play back a quicktime file in the player that has the blackmagic codec, but I cannot.
    I can open the file and play it in final cut pro, I can see it in shake, but I can't play it back in the quicktime player. it shows up all white, but does list the codec as being the black magic 10 bit uncompressed codec.
    I've downloaded the codec from black magic, and dropped it in /library/quicktime, but I'm not getting any result.
    I've also tried "touching" the quicktime folder like they recommend, but nothing's working.
    quicktime's also not playing back avi files, but I know that can be a bigger issue.
    Any ideas?
    thanks!
    -Josh

    The Blackmagic Software Codec.component I just downloaded today show it to be PowerPC. Your Intel Mac needs a Universal version or else you need to run using Rosetta.
    Your .avi issue is probably the same reasons.

  • Quicktime not playing

    I have the lastest version of quicktime program and plug-in. It was playing videos from other sites (like youtube and all other stuff) normally. But I did something that quicktime does not play anymore. it appears its symbol and a "?" with it. I have already tried to use default settings in its preferences, nothing help. Do I have to uninstall and install again?
    Thanks!

    Maybe try going to QT settings>Browser>Mime Settings>Miscellaneous-Miscellaneous file formats and uncheck Flash Media.

  • Why does Quicktime not play this mp4 correctly

    I can create an mp4 file (recording) from Belkin's @TV app but that file will not play correctly in Quicktime (or RealPlayer or iMovie, etc.).  While the video playback seems fine, the audio plays a couple of seconds, at "chipmonk" speed, and then there is no sound out.  However, if I move the playhead to any random place in the recording I can then hear another couple of seconds of audio, as before ("chipmonk" speed), and then silence.  The VLC player will, however, play the file correctly. 
    So, seeing that the file itself was not bad, I decided to try Handbrake to re-encode the recording.  And, to my surprise, Handbrake was able to handle the file correctly and produce an mp4 file that Quicktime (and the others) can play.
    I don't know enough about these mp4 files to grasp what is wrong with the original Belkin output.  The Quicktime inspector reports that the Format is
       H.264, 352 x 240
       AAC, 32000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
       FPS: 25.37
    Any ideas?  (Is there additional data I can look at about this file?)
    I'm running the current version of Mavericks and Quicktime 10.3.

    Another user in the Belkin forum suggested that I look at the recording's header info, and pointed me to AtomicParsley, which I have now run (using some basic terminal commands). 
    This is what it reports for the initial, Belkin-app produced file:

    I have the equivalent for the recording's Handbrake output.  I did a file compare but there were enough differences (and I'm not a technical person) so I could not spot which of the differences mattered.  For example, I thought that the fact that there is "none listed" for the sound handler looked like an obvious clue until I saw that same thing in the Handbrake output.
