Skipping, stuttering Flash Video

VIdeos on CBS and FOX, etc skip or Stutter. I researched this
and Microsoft found that if the media buffers video but never loads
the clip or loads the clip but the video stutters then your
DSL/cable providers using Network Address Translation (NAT) may not
be forwarding UDP packets properly. The solution is to disable UDP.
My question is HOW???? How do I disable the UDP on Flash?

I am having the same difficulty - I have requested help form
the Adobe web site but have been referred back to this site - have
your had any response or help with this issue

MLBtv skips, stutters, unsyncs video

MLBtv skips almost immediately as i begin watching a game (i watch SNLA HD, for the Dodgers). the stream jumps backwards about 5-10 seconds, with the audio going back even further. as the broadcast continues, the audio trails the video by at least 5 seconds.
i've tried everything, including restarting Apple tv. when i use Airplay to stream the same broadcast from my iPad, it works fine.
no other app does this. Netflix streams fine. and this has been going on since spring training.

I have been seeing the same thing with my ATV3. It appears to me that the MLB.TV application needs some tweaking. Also if I airplay from the Mac or Ipad it works fine. And I am connected to the router over ethernet.

Stuttering flash videos on Firefox 4

I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and noticed that Youtube videos (and other flash player videos) stutter. Doesn't matter if it's in 480p, 720p or 1080p, if the video is precached or not. It's not constant, but it does happen several times throughout the video and it's quite annoying.
They were playing perfectly before I upgraded to Firefox 4.

Hi there,
I had this problem, and here is how I solved it: some time ago I had "signed" up for the YouTube HTML5 trial.
As a result my computer had a cookie stored, and YouTube served HTML5 content.
Turns out that Firefox4 has trouble with some YouTube HTML5 videos, and it results in audio/video stutter/freeze.
Signing out of the HTML5 trial, and getting back to using Flash solved the problem.
You can check whether or not you are on that trial by going to http://www.youtube.com/html5
Configuration I am using: OSX 10.6.7, MacBookAir, Firefox4.

Flash video skipping

Hi. I've done some searching and can't figure out how to resolve this. And it's driving me crazy.
For some time now, Flash video playback has been skipping chronically on my MBP. I thought it might be because I needed to do some housecleaning, but I've done that and it's still skipping.
Play any video -- webisodes, Youtube, whatever -- and the picture skips. The audio plays straight through, but the picture will stick and skip.
I'm using OS X 10.5.6, Firefox 3.0.9, updated flash player, etc. My 180GB hard drive has 49GB free. I've got 4GB RAM and it skips even when no other programs are open. I've repaired permissions. Video still skipping.
Any suggestions? What can I do? Please help... online video is unwatchable.

+do this without the disc?+
See if this helps:
Boot holding down Apple/S and don't let go until you see scrolling text.
When that stops and you see a root#: prompt enter
*fsck -fy*
Let it run through all the checks and repairs.
If it fails first time, at any time, or finds and fixes a fault - _run the command again and keep doing so_ (some fixes can take several passes) until it says "Appears to be OK" then enter
reboot
The other thing to check is your streaming settings:
Open System Preferences/Quicktime and click the Streaming Tab
Set the speed to one lower than your actual connection
Check Instant On
Move the slider a couple of notches from the left
(I know you're having trouble with Flash content but just try this to humor me ;-))

All flash videos are stuttering

So recently , all my flash videos have started to stutter. Whether it is small gifs , chrome , firefox or internet explorer , the audio is fine and the quality is consistent for the most part but every 1-3 seconds there is a constant stutter. I have tried to disable Hardware acceleration as well as cleaning up all my flash files but none of these have worked. Im wondering if anyone has experience with those problems and can offer me a solution for this constant , annoying stuttering.

GIFs are images, NOT Flash Player. And they contain no sound. You CANNOT view GIFs with Flash Player.
Have you maxed out your Flash Storage? http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l

Choppy/skipping flash video

I have a late 2011 iMac (21.5") that has worked pretty well since purchase in November, 2011. However recently I started to experience severe lagging and even major skipping when viewing Flash video content on a number of different sites. The behavior exists in both Firefox and Safari, and I've tried a clean install of Flash twice now with no improvement. I also upgraded my router to address intermittent wireless outages that I thought were contributing to the video performance issues. I was previously using an old Airport Express, and purchased a new Airport Extreme. That improved my wireless performance dramatically. Constant signal drops disappeared, and my speedtest.net speed went from all over the map with an average of 5Mbps to a smooth steady 50Mbps almost every time. However the video issues have persisted. Yesterday I downloaded temperature monitor to see if overheating was an issue. Here are my readings after about 40 minutes of running flash content:
I just purchased an APC UPS (something I've been meaning to do anyway) but I'm doubtful power fluctuations are the culprit. I'll try plugging directly into the router of course, to see if somehow flash content is causing some wifi signal variance that speedtest doesn't pick up. But I'm beginning to worry that my GPU is the real issue here. Anyone have a similar issue or any other ideas? I do still have Apple Care so if it's a hardware issue I do believe I can have it replaced at no cost.

Well this is funny. After all my troubleshooting and research, last night my flash video was smooth as butter and crystal clear. What changed? I have a feeling it was related to this:
http://www.businessinsider.com/timewarner-down-2014-8
I think even though Speedtest was showing a constant download speed of 50Mpbs it was masking an ISP issue that was resolved after the national outage. Glad that happened before I dropped $180 on a RAM upgrade.

Skipping Problem when vieweing Flash Videos

Hi.
I've downloaded and istalled the latest flash plugin, but
videos on sites like youtube and google videos skip every few
seconds. It's really, really annoying.
I'm running XP on a 1.0 Ghz Athlon (not Athlon 64, just
Athlon). Have about 320 mb ram. Also have this Riva TNT2 32mb video
card.
I've tried to watch videos on both Firefox 2 and Internet
Explorer 7, but both are the same. When I download flash videos
though, and play them through VLC player or something like that, I
don't get any skips. It's just for online videos.
No, it's not about loading the videos either. Even if I wait
until the video's fully loaded, The skipping's still there. And no,
nothing's running in the background as I play the videos.
I've also tried to uninstall the plugin via the "flash
uninstaller" downloaded from adobe, reboot, reinstall the plugin,
reboot. No Dice. Also tried running a few antispyware programs.
Still skips.
I've tried turning off the windows firewall, and tried
without any other anti-virus or firewall running, and still get
skips.
It's as if the video's refreshing every 3-6 seconds...
Please help
Edit:
Just tried downloading Opera for the hell of it and trying to
watch videos on it, but still get skips. Also tried firefox's safe
mode (no plugins).

Hi 9000,
Have you verified flash is up to date? If it's not up to date, have you considered downloading & the latest flash player?
While your at it, you may want to verify that Adobe ShockWave is up to date. And if it's not, download and install the latest 64-bit shockwave player.
If your still having issues, have you tried using another account on your dad's computer? dose it have the same issue?
if it's only your dad's account that has issues, you may want to try deleting flash cookies by using a program like Flush.app – Flash Cookie Removal Tool For OS X.
cheers,

Apogee Duet FireWire skipping/stuttering audio

I've bought Apogee Duet FireWire back in 2011 when I had another macbook pro and I believe it was OS X Lion powered. The problem started since I updated to Mountain Lion and next upgrades were the same. There was a time when it was not very clean if the drivers at the official apogee's site are fresh enough. But now I have OS X Yosemite and fresh drivers that claim to be for this system. As to hardware, since Apogee had only FW400 wire, later I bought FW800 wire, and then FW800<->ThunderBolt adapter. So now I use this connection: Duet -> FW400/FW800 wire -> FW800/ThunderBolt adaptor -> MacBook Pro. The audio is working normal in 80% of time, but otherwise there are stutterings of the sound. Is there a way to get rid of this problem? Thank you.

I just started having problems with my Duet this afternoon and found this thread so I thought I'd give a shout out to you guys to see if you have any ideas before talking with the company....
I've had my Apogee Duet since about feb and never had any problems until this afternoon. For some reason the Duet doesn't seem to want to interface with my computer at all anymore. When plugged in, the lights light up on the Duet however under system profiler I get the "unable to list firewire devices" error msg. Under the Sound tab in preferences, the Duet is not listed as an available I/O. In the Apple Midi Setup or whatever it's called in utilities, the icon for the Duet is still there but it doesn't show it as online. I can still press the big button and the little green light cycles through input 1/input 2 yada yada yada, but the computer doesn't seem to see it. When I open up Maestro, both the control and mixer screens are completely blank. I've tried resetting the unit (holding button down for 5 seconds), using different firewire cords, and finally uninstalling and reinstalling the Maestro software (using the Duet software - May 2008 link on apogees site) and none of these things solve the problem. I haven't had a chance to plug in another FW400 device into my Macbook Pro to see if it's a problem with the port, but I get the same result with the Duet on my MBP and my G5 PPC tower, which leads me to believe it's a problem with the unit. Also, since it's bus-powered, the lights wouldn't light up if the ports on the computer were fried, right?? Has this happened to anyone else?? Any ideas on how to fix it before calling up Apogee?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Skipping/stuttering in itunes may in fact be a bigger problem..?

so, i've been over in the itunes forum for the last couple weeks digging around for a fix to an issue i've had with that app since upgrading to 7.6 for movie rentals.
specifically, it's SEVERE skipping & stuttering of audio & video files in itunes, irrespective of whether they've been purchased on ITMS or ripped from my personal collection.
i think there may be a connection, though, with QT, since i upgraded that to 7.4 at the same time. well, fast forward to tonight when i clicked on a link to go to youtube to check out something a buddy sent me...guess what? skipping video and audio for every single youtube video i selected. have gone to other streaming media sites and...voila! same thing.
it's apparent that the playback issue is a large one, or at least bigger than itunes for me...so was interested in whether anyone here has been experiencing something similar.
this didn't exist before "leopard + QT 7.4 + itunes 7.6"
btw, the update to itunes 7.6.1 did not alleviate the issue.

agreed. could've written that better. was attempting to demonstrate the pervasiveness of the problem...
affected media:
- video & audio in itunes (m4p & m4v)
- video & audio in quicktime (mpeg)
- video & audio in both safari & firefox (flash)
hoping someone's got a suggestion...

When I try to play a flash video (like youtube) i have to click a flash button several times before it works. Why do flash videos not recogonize any clicks without several tries first?

When I try to go to a flash video, the video player never seems to recognize my mouse clicks without several tries.
It's hard to explain but if I'm at a youtube video and i place my cursor over the button that lets you skip around the video, the cursor will alternate being a cursor (like its not recognized) and a hand like its supposed to. It's sort of keeps flickering between the two if I move the mouse around on that little skip button.
I tried uninstalling firefox but it didn't make a difference. I noticed it after updating to the newer firefoxe updates. This does not happen under IE.
thank you for your help.

Multiple URL's in a Flash Video

Good afternoon,
I have created a Flash Video that contains three images that fade in and out between each other. The problem I am having is I want the user to be able to click on an image and get directed to a specific URL. Each of the three images has a different URL destination. I am new to Flash & haven't been able to find a solution anywhere. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. I am using Flash Professional CS5.
Thank You in advance

It's not that you can't do something like that with a .flv, but you still end up making a few movie clips to provide the interactivity. By embedding "cue points" in the .flv, you could trigger a movieclip (an invisible button) to appear over the top of the .flv when one image is displayed. That movieclip would serve as a button with a onRelease to getURL(AS2) or navigateToURL(AS3). This all gets compiled into a .swf anyway... but using the .flv complicates matters a little.
To skip using a .flv, just a .swf, turn each image into a movieclip (be sure they each get an instance name) and in your actions layer in the main timeline assign those getURL(AS2) or navigateToURL(AS3) actions to each movieclip (the image).

"Full screen" flash video

Hi,
On this example page I have a few flv videos:
http://www.oppnakanalenvaxjo.se/filmer/
I'd like to have the option of watching these videos in a
larger player as well. How can I include a button that when the
user clicks it the player is enlarged to full scale, in this case
720 x 576 px?
I'm using Flash 8 Professional.
Thanks!

Right clicking on a flash video (say in iPlayer) and selecting "hardware acceleration" and increasing the amount of memory Flash may use makes no difference: in activity monitor, the Flash plug in is still maxed out and the video stutters as before.

Flash Video Issue

I keep getting the following error message when I try to
insert flash video with a skin: "The URL cannot contain spaces or
special characters. Change the path of file name and try again."
I've changed to all lower case and eliminated spaces but to
no avail. Here is an example of the url I've entered:
media_video/SistaShirl_June06.swf and
media_video/goswaipunagroovy.swf
Any help for this would be appreciated.

P.S: Try an option from the dropdown menu on the page and except "a dimond bullet" which I know is faulty, and witness my issue.
Also when I replay the MP4 movie clip after full download and viewing it displays without skipping...!
Thanks again.

How can I get flash videos to play

When I bought this iPad I had no idea that I wouldn't be able to watch most of the videos I want to watch. Is there any way to get flash without paying for a new web browser program?

Can you name some apps that I have to buy? I don't know where to start.
"Puffin" comes to mind. I think it's only a couple of dollars, but I can tell you that you won't be happy with the Flash video that runs through this browser. Too much overhead or something. It stutters and freezes.
Waste of time and money IMHO.
The "security" excuse is a bit thin. Flash works great on my MBP and as far as I know, on all the the other Apple computers. Jobs had decided that it will not be supported on the iPad, the iPhone, and the iTouch.
Personally I could care less.
