Quicktime Stream Artifacts when Tabbed

I am viewing live video streams using Quicktime. When I change tabs back and forth to the stream video, the video artifacts with squares that slowly resolve back into what is currently on the stream. I am getting these same results from Firefox, IE, and Chrome. I am using a computer with Windows 7. All software is fully updated.
Previous to this, I have been able to switch tabs and view video on different tabs at the same time with no consequence. At that time I was using Windows XP. My Windows XP laptop is currently able to switch tabs without video artifacts appearing.
I need to be able to monitor video streams on multiple browser tabs without the video artifacting occurring. My connection speed is 26.46 Mb/s download 6.93 Mb/s. I am hoping this is just a setting issue with quicktime or browsers.

I had the same issue. Just reimporting did the trick. I started doing smaller batches and never deleting after import so that I can check quality. I also tried setting the phone to airplane mode, thinking that perhaps it's busy with other activities and that this disrupts the transfer.
All in all, I'm not sure of the cause, but reimporting will fix it for sure.

Error message when opening itunes, quicktime streaming failed to load...

I downloaded itunes, installed it, and when I try to open I get the message "quicktime streaming failed to load because it was already loaded" Then it closes. Anyone know what's going on?
Windows XP

okay ... let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Quicktime error -2048 when trying to play.mov files.

I have been frustrated this weekend trying to find a solution to a problem that has only recently occurred accessing some digitised VCR tapes that had been archived on an external HDD. These are files that played back fine on my Quicksilver after I had recorded them, but now give a "Movie Not Available" message in Quicktime. However when opened in VLC I get a debug message box with the following information posted below. Any clues as to what might be the problem?
I recorded the files from my VCR using an ADVC-100 DA converter over firewire into BTV Pro which created .mov files (DV-PAL). When I try to open the files in BTV Pro, I get a message box "There was an error opening the movie. No Movie found. Error code 20,-2048" Did a search for this error and -2048 appears to be a Quicktime error, so am wondering if there is a problem with my installation of Quicktime. I have got all the usual suspects in stalled, Flip4Mac, Perian, VLC. Mpeg Streamclip but can't get the file to open. The external HDD is Mac formatted but I found some info about problems with missing resource forks in older .mov files causing problems if copied to NTFS HDD's.
Any ideas as to where to look next will be appreciated.

Well it used to work fine so I think so. When I try and run the installer you linked to I get a message saying that a later version is already installed- isn't it built into the latest QT releases? One thing I thought of- the original files I think were made on a mac so there were some resource fork files of 4K size. I deleted these as I kept trying to open them by mistake, but then after this trouble I dragged them back out the trash to the original location but it didn't fix the problem- could that have caused some sort of association problem?

Quicktime Stream with rtsp and poster.mov

Hi...
I'm using Wordpress and I can't seem to get quicktime streaming to work. I've used the code they provided (which you'd THINK would work but it's not. What I'm putting in is (3 different ways/trys to stream the same file):

None of them work and they screw up the layout of my site horribly so I've had to remove the entry. When I look at the coding for it, it changes it to just this:

Can anybody help me?? I just need some simple code to stream some MOV files on my site. Any help ASAP would be GREAT!! Thanks in advance...

I�ve got the exact same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Quicktime Streaming Server - qtss - service does not start in Server Admin.

Hi,
We're currently trying to configure a video/audio streaming server, but we've fallen at the first hurdle and the QuickTime Streaming service will not start (I am trying to enable it via Server Admin). Can anyone think of any possible reasons for this?
Many thanks,
Dave

It's probably not hugely relevant but are you trying to start it remotely or locally on the server? I know Server Admin can get a bit laggy and not always do what it should when starting services. Also can you check in the logs for the service (Quicktime Streaming>Logs>Error Log) to see if there's anything in there which gives and indication. Paste the output here if you need anymore help with that.

Internet connection breaks while loading a QuickTime-Stream

I'm not able to watch a QuickTime-Stream. The video seems to load forever and while loading my interntet connection on my Mac mini breaks. Same situation on any other computer at home. I fear there's a problem with my router. Can you help me?

Definitely has to do with the iPhone. Haven't left it connected lately and have not experienced any connection problems at all. The model is 837jp. I'm not worried about it now that I know what is causing it. I'll just charge the phone with the power outlet and only connect it when backing it up. Problem solved. Thanks, PC Tester, for your help.

How to stop QuickTime Streaming messages in secure.log?

The secure.log of the server is flooded with these kind of messages:
Jan 25 12:13:08 server com.apple.SecurityServer[41]: Succeeded authorizing right 'com.apple.server.admin.streaming' by client '/usr/sbin/QuickTimeStreamingServer' for authorization created by '/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerManagerDaemon.bundle'

Jan 25 12:15:34: --- last message repeated 3 times ---
I have tried to adjust the idle time setting in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.servermgrd.plist to 300, the supposed Maximum above which idle time defaults to 60 seconds. In my experience this initially works after which the flooding starts all over. The default interval is also a lot smaller than 60 secs.
How to effectively eliminate these messages apart from disabling QuickTime Streaming all together?

I would. (Ignore it.) OS X logging has long had this misfeature; various versions of applications have been far too chatty, others have log ominous messages that are harmless, and there's the occasional innocuous-nasty message logged.
If this particular message bugs you — I have several similar "favorites" in my own logs — add it onto a grep --invert-match pattern or such, and filter it out of the logs before you review them. When you're running OS X or another Unix box in production, message filters based on grep or similar are used to reduce the chatter, and also to flag the nasty messages.

I followed a thread last night that looked like I could download quicktime streaming server (QTSS) as a free download.This does not now seem possible.wnload.

Is it possible to obtain quicktime streaming server( QTSS) as a free down load ?Some thread (from this site) I followed last night turned out to be of no use.

I've had my 822 since launch and I have had flawless experience with the phone. Phone works like it should, text messaging and emails work. I think it does a random reboot about once a month if that.
I don't know what Nokia or VZW did to the 928's. It could either be a bad batch of devices they keep recycling to other customers when one sends it back in for being faulty or just poor QA done on the device.
The only thing I can think of is filing a complaint with the BBB and FCC that VZW keeps issuing faulty devices to their customers.
Reach out to one of the executives, http://aboutus.verizonwireless.com/leadership/executive/index.html and voice your anger that you are constantly receiving faulty devices.

UDP Stream -- SDP File w/ QuickTime Streaming Server?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to help a client who's getting into some more advanced QuickTime stuff than I'm famillair with, and I could sure use some help figuring out a solution for him. Instead of trying to rephrase his question myself, I'll just copy his email to me below:
Question about QTSS. I have played around with Darwin Streaming Server quite a bit but there is one thing I want it to do that it can't. My question is this. Will Quicktime Streaming Server take an unannounced UDP stream that is directed to it and automatically create a SDP file so I can then relay the stream to people. With DSS I have to make a SDP file myself which I don't know how to do yet.
What I'm doing is using an Axis Network camera, sending video out UDP unannounced. I'm doing this so if a network connection goes down the camera will still be sending out video and when the connection comes back up the video will make it through to the server again.
So once it's on QTSS I want to pull 3 different streams of this feed (via the SDP file), one with no modification, the other 2 VLC will request the stream and transcode them and drop the transcoded stream into another QTSS. This second QTSS would be the server for the 2 transcoded streams.
Thanks,
Any ideas? If QTSS can't do exactly what he has in mind, is there another feature that would be similar? Again, any help you might provide would be very appreciated,
Huxley Dunsany
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I thought I'd bump this message just on the off chance anyone who might have an answer missed it the first time around. Heck, if you've even got a good suggestion as to a better forum to ask it on, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks, and best wishes,
Huxley

How can i stop quicktime from pausing when win7 locks

We use a quicktime stream to broadcast music, on a rtsp:// stream. however our windows machines are set to lock after 15minutes which pauses the stream. is there a way to stop this?

You can not, at least if you are using Safari. If you use an alternative browser such as Photon, then it is possible. However, Photon costs between $4.99-9.99 depending on whether or not a sale is going on. Photon allows full ise of Flash on an iOS device whether that be movie streaming, music players or even Flash games on sites like Facebook. You cam switch tabs and content will keep playing in the background. All the best.

Problems with artifacting when importing clip from After Effects...

I have spent nearly 100 hours creating some effects in After effects within the last few weeks but have noticed some terrible verticle artifacting when I import them into FCP. I have tried exporting using Uncompressed quicktime codec as well as DVCPro/DV and the "none" option with the best quality settings(all using the same FPS) and it still creates these verticle lines. I have also tried not only using the settings for anamorphic(720x480) but exporting with naitive 16x9 (which I believe is 856x480)and still get these lines.
I need help please!! I am stumped on this one. Even when viewing the files outside of FCP using the Quicktime player the footage looks perfect.
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Andrew

My FCP settings are 24p advanced pulldown removed using DVCpro/DV 16x9.
I have exported using the same settings with the after effects codec to a .mov and still get the problem.
I am not viewing on an external monitor, only on the canvas. Could this just be a display issue?
Thanks
Andrew

SDI Capture Card that works with QuickTime Streaming Server/Encoder

I can't seem to find any major SDI video card manufacturer that has drivers which work on a MAC OSX Server using QuickTime Streaming Server & QuickTime Broadcaster. Apple has suggested we try LiveChannel and I have yet to contact them. I have however contacted AJA, BlackMagic, View cast, etc. and none have tested their cards against QuickTime Streaming Server & QuickTime Broadcaster.
We need to be able to do Multicasting
Any help is appreciated!

Sorry but I think I was impatient when I wrote that.
After monitoring the .upcoming file, I saw the new entries appear after a while.
You can modify the .playlist file at runtime without updating QTSS. It will read that file automatically after a while.
It seems to work fine now.
Thanks

Critical issue for language lab! Quicktime Streaming broken for Guest

An issue reported in January is still apparently unfixed because we're experiencing the same problem as Jeremy. Here is his message, which had no replies (his message is between the dashes):
Quicktime streaming and the Leopard Guest Account
Posted: Jan 28, 2008 4:21 PM
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1367366
If I set the account to be managed it doesn't work. I cannot access QuickTime streams using Leopard's built in Guest account. If I set the the streaming transport to http I get "403 forbidden", if I set it to udp I get "-3285 Disconnected". Anyone know how to fix this? I do not have the "Website Restrictions" turned on for this account. That is to say, I have the the controls enabled to block specific applications, but I set it to "Allow unrestricted access to websites"
(on this point, you can't NOT have the parentalcontrols proxy running for some, infuriating, reason. If you want to manage which Apps a given account access to, the parentalcontrols proxy is enabled, and cannot be bypassed, even if select not to filter web content).
We set up a fresh Guest Account on our new iMacs that just came in. They're running 10.5.6 and Quicktime 7.5.5 (which I re-installed in an attempt to fix the issue). Like Jeremy, I get the Disconnected error when Quicktime is set to UDP and Forbidden when it's set to HTTP.
I have tried to use the latest Server Admin Tools to disable/enable Parental Controls and Application launching management, to no avail. I've repaired permissions several times. I've copied the Internet plug-ins to the Guest account directory (System - Library - User Template - English.lproj - Library - Internet Plug-Ins). I've tried the same thing with the Quicktime Preferences file from the admin account in which streaming is working. I have also tried giving every Internet plug-in max read-write permissions for every user and the folder, too. I disabled Parental Controls in the Guest Account. Nothing works.
We're going to have to completely re-make our lab image and re-image the lab, which is a huge undertaking because of this long-standing bug.

I believe I have partially fixed the issue.
Disabling Parental Controls in the Guest account when logged into the Guest account does nothing, despite the prompt for an admin username and password. One must log into an admin account directly to turn them off via the Accounts control panel.
Turning Parental Controls off allows us to once again view streaming movies via the Quicktime plug-in in a webpage. Hooray!
However, Parental Controls remains problem, so it behooves Apple to figure out why it is interfering with basic functionality like this. Another issue turning off Parental Controls solved is an issue with Adobe's Flash plug-in in the Panaorama web site, a language learning textbook. With Parental Controls on, the voice recording functionality via Flash is broken, too.

Turning Parental Controls off allows us to once again view streaming movies via the Quicktime plug-in in a webpage. Hooray!
However, Parental Controls remains problem, so it behooves Apple to figure out why it is interfering with basic functionality like this. Another issue turning off Parental Controls solved is an issue with Adobe's Flash plug-in in the Panaorama web site, a language learning textbook. With Parental Controls on, the voice recording functionality via Flash is broken, too.

Quicktime streaming question

I am setting up quicktime streaming on my server I can access this from inside my firewall. But I cannot access it from outside the firewall. Does anyone have any suggestions.

After 10 forums and over a week of trying different suggestions, I still have not solved the issue with the present navigation system and it's relation to the QT movies.
I'm now converting some QT files into Flash FLV files. So far the pages I've converted do not exhibit these problems and many people have reported suddenly being able to see the videos whereas before they could not. For example see this page:
http://www,idriveinmovie.com/bltrailer_medium.htm
When encoded properly, a flv file can compare to the quicktime format in quality while decreasing it's size by about 50% and the JS used to access the file for the webpage seems to handle the caching of the page data differently than the Quicktime embed tag so that the buttons work fine as the flv downloads, which of course is a solution to my original problem.
Although Quicktime is my favorite web video media, for internet delivery without a streaming server it would seem the Flash FLV is the smarter choice right now.
