QuickTime player doesn't launch when streaming podcast

When I stream a podcast through iTunes, the QuickTime player doesn't launch. Instead, the podcast plays through the iTunes browser. The problem is that you can't multitask or even pause the podcast without it starting over. Is this a bug or "new feature"?

Yeah a lot of people are having this problem now:

  • QuickTime Player doesn't launch on video download from iPhone 4 to iMac 10.8.2.  Suggestions?

    Downloaded video from iPhone 4 to iMac 10.8.2, Quicktime Player doesn't activate on iMac to play the video.  Thought about deleting Quicktime then re-install, but can't find a Qicktime download for 10.8.2  Suggestions?

    Will QuickTime Player open if you are logged in to a different user account?

    How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
    It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

    It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
    This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

  • Quicktime Player fails to launch.

    I can't get QuickTime to work whatsoever. Nothing happens when I click on it. What am I doing wrong?

    Are you saying the app doesn't launch or that the movie player window doesn't open?

    When I do this with Safe Mode, it doesn't crash. I'm guessing I need to some how make it so Quicktime uses more of the RAM, I got 16 Gigs, or use less CPU.  Activity Monitor shows 87% CPU usage just before the crash. This is a one month old iMac, while on my old one from 2008 with just 4 GB RAM, it didn't crash.

    Thanks to QuickTimeKirk on another post, I got the answer. You use qtl (Quicktime Media LInk) files to point to the real .mov files. Then the qtl file will download when linked to on a web page. After the instant download, Quicktime player will open and grab the stream. Even on a PC! Great!

  • ITunes/QuickTime Player Failes to Launch

    I am wondering if downloading the latest update was a good idea. When I attempt to launch iTunes I receive the following error:
    "iTunes cannot run because it has detected an problem with your audio configuration."
    Havins seen some other posts make reference to QuickTime Player settings (granted they were for an older version of iTunes) I thought I would open it up and take a look around. When I did this it failed to launch and produced the following error:
    "Runtime error. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
    Everything worked quite well before the software download. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

    yep, a problem with your QuickTime generally causes the "audio configuration" iTunes error. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
    the following document may be of some assistance:
    iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes had detected an audio configuration problem

  • Quicktime X doesn't launch?

    I know people are having lots of problems with Quicktime X, but I'm having an even more basic one -- the software doesn't launch at all. It bounces on the dock, but then nothing happens. ??

    I'm having the same problem. I've tried reloading it from the Snow Leopard installation disc using Pacifist but that had no effect and the icon doesn't even bounce now!
    If you are referring to the embedded dual 32-/64-bit structure imbedded in the OS, then I don't recommend using Pascifist and would prefer to perform a clean install here. If just the QT X Player application, then you may not have done much, if any, damage to your OS.
    Inability to open an application may be due to either a bad installation of the application, a bad PLIST file, or a corrupted or improperly terminated movie file. By setting up an alternative user account, you may be able to determine where the problem lies. If you can open the bare application as a different user, then it is most likely the the PLIST file is corrupted. If the bare application will not open, then it is more likely to be a bad installation. If the bare application opens in both user account but a particular movie file will not open while others do, then the problem is most likely either in the file itself or the components that support that movie.

  • ITunes App crashes when streaming podcasts

    Hi,
    When I stream podcasts from the iTunes app, sometimes it works fine, but most of the time, iTunes will either close all together, or close out of the stream. I will sometimes have to click to start the stream 4 or 5 times before it will actually play. It has been this way with every OS I have had installed on my phone.
    Any help appreciated. Thanks!

    I should clarify--I'm not trying to stream, per se, but rather my entire music collection is on a NAS. In the past I've added all this music to my itunes library so I can sync with iphone, etc. It's sometimes slow, mostly because of the ridiculous "gapless playback" check, but usable. Itunes 10 is completely worthless--couldn't even get the library loaded without an eternal spinning ball. If anyone else has had this issue and has updated to 10.01 successfully, please let me know. I don't want to go through rebuilding my library again if the update doesn't work.

  • Dvd player won't launch when dvd inserted

    DVD player has become erratic about launching when I insert a commercial video disc. Sometimes it launches, and sometimes the disc is simply ejected after about a minute, without DVD Player having launched. There's no error message, the disc is simply ejected. When this has happened, I've tried things like repairing permissions, logging out and logging back in, and restarting. These work sometimes, and sometimes not.
    Actually, I'm not sure if the problem is with DVD Player, since the disc is not showing up in Finder, either.
    Anybody have any suggestions?

    and....when i put in a movie dvd it works but not a dvd with files. Help?

  • ITunes 9 doesn't launch when iPhone is connected

    As the subject says. Updated to iTunes 9, updated iPhone to 3.1. When iPhone gets connected iTunes doesn't launch automatically. I should add though, that my ipod shuffle when connected does auto launch iTunes.

    Apparently this is a bug in iTunes 9. Hopefully their will be an update shortly to fix this minor annoyance.

  • Quicktime Player wont stretch file when going to full screen

    Not used it for a while, but i opened up a movile file in Quicktime player today (for example one of the leopard videos from apple.com), and when i selected Cmd F to run in full screen, the 'movie' file stayed the same size, and put a big black border round it.
    It used to stretch fit the whole screen, but not any more!
    Is there an option i have missed/messed with which stops the file running in true full (fit) to screen?
    Latest version of QT etc...
    Thanks

    Thank you
    I looked at the full screen options, but thought that touching these would have made the movie open in fit to screen mode, which is what i didnt want, i needed them to open in there normal size, then doing the CMD F did full screen and fit to screen automatically (doh!)

  • Why quicktime player doesn't open?

    why QuickTime player 7 doesn't open?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. As far as I know this person has Quicktime of PC, since I have sent Homemade videos to him and several others in the past with no problem. Actually, I have sent this video to numerous people with PC and Macs. Macs no problem. So far, PC users are a mix of plays and no play. I am trying to verify why many people have not responded with any comment also. Something is not right.

  • HTML embedded Quicktime player doesn't render last shown frame on pause

    I try to embed QT player embedded into HTML page and to play RTSP/RTP link through it.
    The playback/seeks works fine, but on pause the picture is not frozen, replaced by white screen. It doesn't happen on stand-alone player with same link.
    Message was edited by: ZMPanda

    Thanks guys for your quick replies.
    I have been trying this with WMV, Quicktime, MP4, etc. I get the same result of frozen frames on each.
    I have run a test video in a new project with a counting leader and black video and a black matte interspersed on Video Track 1 between motion footage. Rendering was just fine. Could my previous project be corrupt?
    If it helps I have also noticed that in the Output tab of the Encoder I can see the freeze frames happening without even needing to export, so I don't waste valuable time testing.
    It should be noted that when previewing the video in the timeline, video playback is fine and does not freeze where there should be black.

  • AirPlay doesn't work when streaming from BBC iplayer unless I use mirroring

    I usually watch iplayer and 4OD by streaming it from my iPad or iPhone onto my tv with AirPlay on apple tv but now all of a sudden I've been getting a connection error and the stream fails. It does still work when I use mirroring (which doesn't make sense to me) but mirroring won't fill the screen the way AirPlay does and it also makes my phone run hot since it can't blank the screen.
    Any ideas what's going on?

    Try restarting the Apple TV, it works fine for me so it's not the iPlayer.
