Sky player and streaming video

I thought that once I had got fibre broadband I would see the end of sky player constantly buffering but alas this is not the case. Not only does it still buffer but the quality is rarely on full. Surely when getting 30mb or more I should not be suffering this now. I have reinstalled silverlight.
Also I am still having sync trouble with streaming video on all of my PC's. The sound gets a second or more out of sync with the video both on you tube and bbc iplayer. This happens on my xp and vista pcs. Anti virus is free avg.

Mature,
When you start Sky Go (Player) do you leave the quality on Auto?? That is the default setting and I know you have good speed but there's a bug in the app, which has been around from day 1. Even my 76Mb down will buffer on the auto setting even though the usage shows anything from 2.8 to 5Mb, if you change this to High instead speed will show 1.9Mb+- and no buffering but with a lot better picture. I know it sounds crazy and Sky thinks the same no matter how many tell them it's happening.
iechyd da
sky twitter account a customer ask why sky go streams are worst then sd and yet bt and eurosports apps stream in hd. Reply from mod, oh thats easy the files for hd are some huge that sky go can't play them and no app can stream hd due to this and so when they say they are they're really sd streams, if there was any way around this we would have done it now.

Aish,
Thanks for reading my question. I had gone through the Muse styles for links and that was not the problem. I tried it on a different computer this morning and everything went fine, even in altering the styles. I am not sure what the problem was.....only the cloud knows.
Thanks for responding.

IPhone and streaming video

Does anyone know why the iPhone doesn't handle live streaming video? I mean I waited for the 3G iPhone mostly just for that reason, maybe I assumed to much right now. I was hoping that it was compatible with the Slingbox for live TV anywhere. Will flashplayer and streaming video be just a downloadable update or what?

Adobe will need to make a flash player for iphone and Apple will have to approve it.
When and if this happens, then we will have flash.
There has been a lot of articles about it, but nothing for sure yet.

FLVPlayback and streaming video

I am reading about the different between progressive and
streaming video on the web. I want to use FLVPlayback to play
streaming video. In Flash help, to use streaming video we have to
create a connection to server right? And the code to connect to
streaming video on the server (FCS or FMS) is:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect( url);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.connect();
Also in the Flash help, in the FLVPlayback section, how to
play video using FLVPlayback is shown, but I could not see anything
related to the connection or NetStream variable as the above code.
So how can the FLVPlayback play streaming video? Could anyone help
me please?

Unless the video is completely downloaded to the iMac you can not rule out the Internet connection.
Since it plays all other video with no problem the downloading stream would seem to be the source of the problem.
I had cable modem and it is no guarantee of a fast connection. Also even having a fast connection on one end doesn't mean that the source of the video is pushing it all that fast.

Safari and streaming video

For some reason when I am using Safari, I am no longer able to play streaming video. Even the videos on YouTube aren't working. Any advice?

Okay, I figured it out myself. It was my Real player that was the problem. I reinstalled it and now I am able to play streaming video

IPad Air and streaming video from local network

Hello everyone! I'm a new member and a new Apple device user.
I come from Android and honestly my experience wasn't negative or bad, but I was kind of sick of the look and feel of Android. I decided therefore to try something new, fresh and so well spoken of: the iPad Air (16 GB WiFi only model).
However this is not a review or anything so let me skip directly to the issue: streaming video on a local network.
In Android this is a basic thing, you can do it in several ways with several app over different networks (SMB, FTP, SFTP, DLNA (UPNP), etc.). The first thing I did is to try the FTP streaming with VLC: suffice to say that after a second it closes itself (the video, not the app), and this happens with all the videos. I've been searching for a working alternative but so far I found only paid apps. I cannot pay for something I'm not completely sure it is going to work. Free alternatives of paid apps are extremely limited (i.e: no audio or even no network streaming).
What I need to know is this: is it possible on the iPad Air to stream video from a local network (preferably SMB and FTP) without any sort of conversion or transcoding? What I would like to stream are video in 720p or 1080p, sometimes even 15 Gb Blurays. Files are either in mkv or mp4 format. I also always use subtitles.
Please let me know if this is possible.

you need to get apps from app store which does upnp and the likes there are plenty
you can do anything the app support but you can't use the normal build in movie player to play from smb or ftp
but search app store there are likely support for at least smb not sure about ftp it's a pretty old std which would result in transferring the whole file rather then streaming
start by looking for vlc in app store and then go on to upnp and smb use search

CP5 and Streaming Video

We are thinking about setting up a server to stream video and have no idea how this is done. So I guess I'm looking for any information. I've read a little about the FLASH Streaming Video Server but I've also seen the discussions of issues folks have had using it.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Hello Susan,
You can host your videos using some server or application and can embed the Hosted path URL in Captivate's inserted Vidoe properties.
I would suggest you to read and explore the possibilities you have with streaming video in Captivate --
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/tag/streaming
In case you face issues with that, check this Blog which speaks specifically for problems arising with URL structure and how to modify it to make it work.

This should give you a decent start to begin with.

MSI HD 6870 Twin Frozr II and Streaming Video problem

Card doesn't like ESPN3.com (using IE8 browser). Video while watching Sports on ESPN3 will become distorted, change colors, background shadows, horizontal lines, turn Green (like Monochrome) or washed out.
Sometimes fixing itself and appearance is Normal. Eventually every 3 to 5 minutes, sometimes a bit longer, will get this Windows Message.
"Internet Explorer has stopped working" " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.(close program).
" This Tab has been recovered " which IE8 will Refresh and work.
Does not matter what AMD/ATI Driver I am using 8.796 from MSI website or 8.801 from AMD. (Both are most recent).
Have used various resolutions provided from various forums (MSI, Guru3D, TechPowerUp, AnandTech). Uninstalling Drivers, Driver Sweeper, Ccleaner, deleting folders, going to Safe Mode, etc:.
Microsoft has had me Disabling Add-Ons, defaulting everything under IE Tools, Uninstalling IE8 and also their Fix-It program.
So far only time I do not have this problem is when I am using Windows Standard VGA driver.
This indicates that it must be a AMD/ATI Driver issue. So far only occurs on ESPN3.com (was ESPN360.com) when watchin a game -streaming video as aware of pertaining to my usage.
The HD 6870 operates fine for most part,
Other Issues: whenever I want to run 3DMark 2011 or Unigine Heaven 2.1 Benchmarks after restarting or Boot up of computer I have to reinstall Driver.
Reason: the programs says I do not have DirectX 11 compatible Hardware, therefore once I reinstall the Driver then the program identifies the card properly.
Other, sometimes running IE8 when I move the Mouse or Scoll the Screen will Flicker this happens with Driver 8.801 but not all the time.
As mentioned conflict between Driver and IE8. (can Microsoft and AMD ever work together or are they enemies, guess MS loves nVidia)

Using a different Browser.. well I have a few years back... don't know exactly why I keep returning to IE. Guess it has to do more with Visual Appearance and not having as many Gizmos
so IE is simple even with its Flaws. But thanks for suggesting it.
I used my old PC, Compaq Presario 5423US uses WinXP Pro 32bit, that I gave to my daughter when I built this one in May 2008 (I use Vista Ultimate 64bit).
I didn't realize it has the same problem when watching sports on ESPN3.com. (IE has stopped working-message only..... not all the whacky video scenarios).
I checked and my daughter did update hers to IE8. ( I always liked IE7 better but MS makes it hard as with all those Hot Fixes and SP2, SP3. etc.
So the whole problem is MS Internet Explorer 8 hates how ESPN3.com sets up their webpage .... just saying a Bug is created in the Data Packages set via Streaming Video.
If ya have a friend or capability to do so..try IE8 and watch a game on ESPN3.com until you get "Internet Explorerer has stopped working".
If it happens then there are issues with IE8 that needs to be resolved with that website (ESPN3.com).
anyways on my old PC there was no flickering and graphic distortions as mentioned with this PC.
Thanks!

Wi-Fi and Streaming Video

While on a Wi-Fi network, both in my house and out of my house, I've had issues with streaming video, while using apps like Netflix and HBO Go. Seems that the video will stop playing after about a minute and 40 secs. This is fairly consistent and the only way to get it to stop playing again is to exit or stop the video and reload it. I'm currently ising iOS 4.3 on an iPad 2 (64GB ATT Wi-FI+3G). Any thoughts? Just as a reference, my iPhone 3G is using the same iOS and DOES NOT have the same issue with streaming video while using Netflix or other apps.

Is there a reason not to have updayed to 4.3.3?
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.

Ipod touch - Quicktime and streaming video

When trying to view streaming video on the I touch (from CNN or ABC news for example) the Quicktime application opens but no video plays; I do get audio however. I am running I tunes 7.7.1 and software ver. 2.0.2. Is there some setting that I need to change, or do I need to download an application? Is it also possible that the wi-fi connection isn't strong enough to play the video? I've discounted that since I can play video from some other sites such as TMZ.com
Thank you

Install Flip4Mac, repair permissions & then restart.
If the above does not work, then contact the website to get your $$$ back.

Question about networking iMac and streaming video to TV

I have the 24" iMac 2.66GHz with 4 G ram. Currently using Motorola SBG900 (Docsis 2) cable modem & router to stream Comcast through house (another PC, iPhones, LG Blu Ray player/digital video streamer).
Recently acquired a Netgear Rangemax 3700 which is supposed to be the fastest current wireless router. Here are my questions:
1) Can I just use the Motorola SBG900 as modem ONLY and run the ethernet out of it to the Netgear router (thus bypassing the router built into the SBG900). Will this accelerate the streaming of video to other receivers?
2) Would I be better off with a Motorola 6120 Docsis 3 Cable modem feeding the Netgear router (even though my Comcast cable feed is Docsis 2, not 3)?
3) Since my Comcast account is rated 10 Mbps max (though it sometimes goes up to 15 or so late at night) and I believe the existing Motorola SBG90 is rated at 54 Mbps, is the limiting factor the speed of my Comcast connection and all else doesn't matter? That is, is it impossible to speed up my streaming or download speed without a faster connection to the Internet?
4) What kinds of connections are there that are faster than Comcast cable connections?
Basically, I don't want to waste money or time if I'm already at the maximum throughput available given my connection. If I can get marginal speed increases by adding new modem and router, that's fine. I'll do that.
Thanks for your help.
PS: I owned and returned the Airport Extreme Base Station. It did not increase the speed of my connection or streaming, but then it tested very poorly at www.smallnetbuilder.com -- about half the speed of the Netgear Rangemax.

Can't help with Q 1 + 2, but here are some things to consider re:
+3) Since my Comcast account is rated 10 Mbps max (though it sometimes goes up to 15 or so late at night) and I believe the existing Motorola SBG90 is rated at 54 Mbps, is the limiting factor the speed of my Comcast connection and all else doesn't matter? That is, is it impossible to speed up my streaming or download speed without a faster connection to the Internet?+
My Comcast account is rated 15 Mbps and I never get that. I've done everything I can here including Cat 6 cables (instead of Cat 5), but the major problem/hangup in my case is: Comcast is using 20-year old buried cables from their hub (approx. 10 mi across town) to the neighborhoods here - those cables are "leftovers" from the company Comcast purchased the rights from. So, we not only have old cables, but the little boxes all over the neighborhood feed at least 6 - 10 homes each, so you are sharing the available bandwidth with the neighbors. And, whenever everyone seems to be online at the same time, my downloads slow down to a c r a w l (as slow or slower than dialup occasionally!).
So, unless you have a better/newer cable setup where you are, you need to keep that in mind; in that case, no matter what you do, you are at the mercy of Comcast's equipment and your neighbors' usage.
4) The only one I know of is FioS (fiber optic).

Where does Flash player cache streaming video on Chrome

Ive been streaming a video from BBC iplayer and trying to see where Flash player caches it. It
doesn't seem to be in the standard Chrome cache as with youtube videos
Can anyone advise?
Thanks

The data are in:
C:\Documents and Settings\{yourname}\Data aplikací\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\
where Data aplikací means something like application data or something like that in english.
I'm not sure if you can change that location. Maybe by hacking in registries.

IDEAS anyone? creating /dev/videoX device and Stream Video through it

Hey Guys,
so i have a little Problem:
I need to testdrive a motion/object recognition software. This nifty peace of sh** is not available as sources and does only accept streams coming from /dev/videox . (Cannot not be fed with videos)
You could argue : "Plug the camera in and there u go...." but I dont have this kind of (expensive) camera right now.
Some evidence I found on the net:
webcamstudio does such kind of thngs but in fact I need (prefer) a linux way like:
ffmpeg somevideo | todevX
Last edited by simlan (2010-07-08 17:21:44)

Could you do something like "ffmpeg somevideo > /dev/devicehere"
Or maybe something like mplayer? I don't know the commands, but have mplayer play the video, then send output to /dev/devicehere

ProgressBar Component and Streaming Video

Is it possible to connect the ProgressBar component to an
FLVPlayback component which is streaming?

Unless the video is completely downloaded to the iMac you can not rule out the Internet connection.
Since it plays all other video with no problem the downloading stream would seem to be the source of the problem.
I had cable modem and it is no guarantee of a fast connection. Also even having a fast connection on one end doesn't mean that the source of the video is pushing it all that fast.

Flash Player and H264 Videos

Good evening,
Over the last 3 days I have updated the Adobe Flash Player from 10.0.22 to 10.0.32, 4 times. Each update resulted in a System Restore back to the earlier version. I Use Fire Fox and Internet Explorer 7 and have installed the player in both browsers with the same results.
I love to watch movies and tv shows on Justin.tv and HULU. Upon installation of the update, I lost the video, but not the audio, on most channels on Justin. I did not have a problem with HULU. Of course I tried everything, from following all the uninstall and install instructions provided by the Adobe website and changing security and IE settings to seeking assisting from another forum. Finally, on the last upgrade attempt to Fire Fox alone, I was given the answer by Justin.tv.
While attempting to view a movie I received the following message:
The version of flash you have installed may have a bug which prevents it from playing H264 (high quality) video. If you are seeing blank/black video but hearing audio, that is the cause of the problem. Please install Flash 9.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance in this manner.
Thank you,
Ndreia

Hi Troy,
The latest Flash won't work for or PPC macs, best we can do is version 10.1.102.64
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/450421/flashplayer10_1r82_76_ub_mac%20copy.dmg.zip
Stand alone player...
