Quicktime streaming problems

I recently tried to watch a streaming video using QT. As soon as the video comes on, the image turns into a picasso painting, and the stream stops playing. Strangely enough, I was able to watch the same movie using QT in Windows (which I have installed with Parallels). This is wrong on many levels, but I would like to know if anyone has had this issue and if there is a solution.

  • File type/quicktime/streaming problem

    I use a stock trading app (thinkorswim) that links to a CNBC streaming video. Before I upgraded to Snow Leopard, when I'd click the link, VLC (a third party video app) would open and start streaming the video. Now when I click it, I get an error message saying "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application."
    I think this is a file type issue. If the video was a static file, I'd do a Get Info on it and tell it to open in VLC. But it's a streaming video triggered from another app, so I don't know how to make it work.
    Any suggestions?

    I have the same problem. Was using Flip4MAC and have also tried Flip4MAC Beta which is supposed to work on Snow Leopard.... No Soap. If you have any responses from other places, I'd like to know.

  • Problem with QuickTime streaming

    Hi there
    I got an IPad 2 3G , but I have a huge problem. I have a website, which contains some quicktime stream video. but IPad cannot play them at all. Movies have a black screen, in the middle there is QuickTime logo.
    Can you help me, how to fix this problem?
    Thank you!

    Did you repair permissions & restart your computer after installation? If so, then go into your browser's Preferences & map either VLC or Perian as the browser's web plug-in.
    I would also go into QT Preferences & check its streaming preferences.
    System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
    Click on the MIME Settings button.
    In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
    While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
    This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the Video box. This box will enable you to play .avi files.
    Click the OK button.
    Now click Streaming
    Your settings you should be (as starters):
    Streaming Speed: Automatic
    Make sure Enable Instant-On is enabled (checked).
    Now click on Browser
    Make sure:
    Play movies automatically
    Save movies in disk cache
    Are both enabled.
    Movie download Cache Size: Slider set all the way to the left.
    ==============
    To make VLC your default .avi player:
    Highlight an .avi file>File>Get Info>
    In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
    Select VLC.
    Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

  • "Quicktime Streaming failed to load because of an unknown error"

    iTunes and Quicktime will not load, install, or uninstall because of at some point the popup message "Quicktime Streaming failed to load because of an unknown error" appears. Succesive reboots and removal of SpyBot (which may have denied access to Quicktime because of a registry setting, which of course may still be the cause of the problem...) have not fixed the problem. Any ideas?

    I have struggled with the same problem for the last few years and could not find any adequate answers. Being a person who likes to run his PC clean and mean, I had stopped all those Apple Itunes / Quicktime applets and deleted Itunes application as I preferred other Media players & converters. Recently my Nokia 6300 phone suite would send me the same error every song I moved from PC to phone. The clue was that I had chosen Optimised AAC format instead of stock standard MP3. Working on this hunch, I re-activated Apple's Software Update from the Scheduled Tasks items of Control Panel to update Quicktime, Itunes and Safari. Now I have AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, iPodService.exe, iTunesHelper.exe all running and I do not get the error anymore. There is also the Bonjour (DNSResponder.exe) service to be considered. See:-

  • 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.

  • New Radio Station & Streaming Problems

    I have added my favorite Public Radio station to my iTunes library, but I can not get it to connect. It shows up in the library as a radio station, but nothing happens when I click on the play button.
    In addition, I'm having trouble with all the radio stations I've tried that were already in the iTunes folder. I've tried changing the streaming buffer size in preferences, but the network keeps stalling and needing rebuffering, regardless of the streaming buffer size I choose.
    PowerBook PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   Other computer is iMac, OS X v.10.3.9

    I single file in a playlist repeats constantly for me (just tried it - don't usually have playlists for single items), but I have never tried using repeat on an audio stream. I expect the repeat doesn't work with streams because iTunes never gets an end-of-file notification which would then tell iTunes to start again at the beginning - but that is just a guess.
    What happens if you open the stream in Quicktime? If the stream is in iTunes library, you can open it's Get Info box, click on Edit URL on the summary tab, and you can then copy the address to paste into Quicktime's Open URL. If the stream is one on the default iTunes Radio list, drag it into your Library and you can then click on the Edit URL button to copy the address. iTunes an Quicktime are not exactly the same, so you may get different results. You could also try VLC Player". Testing streams in another player may help you identify if it is really iTunes at fault.
    I usually don't have streaming problems, although I rarely have a stream on longer than 2 or 3 hours at a time and I think about 5 hours is the longest I've had a stream running.

  • Webcam stopped working on network after quicktime streaming server install.

    Hi,
    The webcam of my 20" intel mac duo stopped working after I installed quicktime streaming server.
    I've tried with amsn, skype and ichat and none of them shows anything, although the light is green.
    I don't need the streaming server but can't find how to uninstall it.
    I can use the cam in photobooth without any problems so it seems to be a network problem, which I think was caused by qss because I installed that recently.
    I really hope someone can give me some troubleshooting directions for this cause I need the cam for meetings with clients (I have a small design company in the uk, but most of my clients are from holland).
    If anyone can at least just show me some tips I'd be very very happy! =)
    thank you very much!

  • "QuickTime Streaming Failed to Load. . . . ." error pop up

    Hi all,
    I recently did the automatic upgrade for QuickTime after it asked if I wanted to download & install it. Ever since that time, whenever I load a program that requires QT, an error pop up comes on the screen that says "QuickTime Streaming failed to Load Because it was Already Loaded".
    This error pops up even though no other program is using QT and QT has not been started separately. Now if I click on the pop up's "Okay", the program will go ahead and start. It's just a pain to have that popping up all the time now.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is there an updated way of setting QuickTime streaming speed for iChat?

    I've been using iChat screen share to help a friend.  The first time we tried it, it worked well; the second time, however (same computers), the image of the screen I recieved was suddenly very low resolution (too low for me to see what I'm doing).  It sometimes clears up after around 30-40 seconds, but once a window is moved, etc, the problem reoccurs, making the process tedious to the point that I don't think I'd go through this.  I saw in a previous community tip that changing the streaming speed in Quicktime can resolve this issue; they specified that this must be done through the Quicktime icon in System Preferences, and not through the standard Quicktime app..  that was for OS 10.5.6; on my OS (10.6.8, and the new QT), Quicktime is now missing from the System Preferences panal  : /..  I also saw a user comment on another site saying, "Basically, [the new] QTX lacks the option to pick your codec, frame size, data rate, and so on."  So was QuickTime's streaming speed function lost, and do I really need Quicktime to accomplish better image quality for iChat?  If it can't be fixed, is there a better screen sharing utility I can get that won't have these problems?  Thanks for any help : )..

    Hi,
    Back before iChat 4 the Video part of iChat chats was based on the reading the app ttok from the Internet speed it could see.
    This speed was directly effected by the then System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab setting.
    Basically the Automatic Setting was read a 0 (zero) kbps.
    The Fastest Setting of Intranet/LAN also got messed up  (it would not return a figure iChat could use)
    For that reason we used to Suggest that people use the 1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN setting
    This limited Video streaming by any app to 1500kbps both as Upload and Download  (this is fact a rough figure based on using base 10 rather than the true binary based math involved)
    At iChat 4 Apple made iChat see the Automatic setting as 384kbps
    This should be fast enough for 4 way Video chats as the Host end. (the person that invites the others)
    By Snow Leopard (iChat 5) the Quicktime Setting has gone in System Preferences.
    The way iChat "reads" the Internet Speed is different and it is not restricted by Quicktime.
    The only way to Cap iChat now is the App Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit
    Apple state the minimum Internet speed that iChat should have for Screen Sharing is 128kbps
    Internet Speeds tends to be based on Binary multiple at lower speeds - 56kbps  is max Dial-up Modem speed
    128kbps is obviously twice that. The next speed split is like to be 265kbps
    Check that you and your Buddy have at least 128kbps as Upload as well as download.
    http://www.speedtest.net/
    Ideally it should be faster as at that speed you can lose between 10 and 20% in the test  and the overheads of running the connection to the ISP
    Setting the Bandwidth (in iChat) at 500kbps at both ends can eradicate the variances you can get in slower Internet speeds.
    In Snow Leopard Quicktime has become Quicktime X and does have issues playing some Quicktime 7 movies.
    This also applies to Lion and Mountian Lion
    However there are ways to install the Quicktime 7 Player that will cover the codecs that may not be played.
    This info does not apply to iChat though.

  • Where did the Quicktime streaming server go??

    It looks as if the Quicktime streaming server is gone for good - apparently it is not part of the Lion server install, and it can't be found on the Apple web site either. There is a page for it, but it doesn't actually provide any useful information.
    Does anyone has any idea what happened to this technology?

    Hello! I said... I want the ability to input analogue video into my camcorder so I can continue to transfer VHS and input and record video from other sources. The new HD cameras on the market will not allow you to record video from any source except for the lens.
    I have HD cable box. I want to record my HD programs from cable (HBO, Starz, etc) to my camera, download the video to my Mac from the camera and then edit them in iMovie and create professional looking movie DVD's in iMovie.
    iMovie HD can work with mini DV HD cameras and HD video. I was not aware of a system requirement for working with HD content.
