Slow streaming video

Dear All
I have recently added a number of video tours to our companies website via iweb. They stream well in the morning but then later on in the afternoon (4-6pm GMT) they slow right down and take a while before the video will start streaming.
http://web.mac.com/dorsetdc/Corben&_SonVideos/Thatch.html
I have tested my broadband speed and that does not seem to alter. The grand speed of 2mbs seems to be fairly constant (i know its a snails pace but that "Great" Britain for you)
Could it be that a lot of people are trying to view the same video or does apple's servers slow down at certain times?
I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas or could point out something i am doing wrong.
Kind regards
DC

You broadband speed is always the same.
It's probably the server at Apple.
6PM GMT = Early morning to noon in the USA.
So everybody starts editing and publishing their iWeb pages. And then the whole internet bogs down.
We just have to live with it.

  • Choppy/Slow streamed videos on both Firefox and Chrome

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro that was recently turned off for two weeks while I was on vacation. When I turned it back on and tried to watch videos online (youtube, Netflix, streamed videos) the videos are choppy and slow to load. This was never a problem before turning of the computer for the two weeks. I have tried both Google Chrome and Firefox and the problem happens on both. When viewing the Activity Monitor while attempting to watch the videos the CPU usage is fine for the first 20 seconds or so and then Chrome or Firefox take on 80-90-over 100% of the CPU usage, a majority of the usage is from the system (in red) and the videos become untwatchable. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both browsers and have disbaled all the extensions. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Silverlight for Netflix and have uninstalled all unused versions of Adobe Flash player. There are no problems with video when I watch a DVD. Help! I want to watch videos again

    having same problem since mac os x 10.6 upgrade, but was never issue prior... have tried everything i can think of, new flash players, reinstalling players, reboots of computer and router... to no avail. since this was never an issue for me prior to upgrading to Mac OS X (10.6.8), i believe its the os software.

  • Slow streaming video...how to resolve?

    Online streaming video (youtube) has gotten very slow, the videos stop and then start again, etc. I ran into this with OX 10.5, and someone recomened deleting a folder, which solved the problem.
    What would u suggest for Snow Leopard?
    thanks

  • Slow streaming video on G4 MDD

    Please forgive me in advance, if this topic has been covered. I've been searching the forums, but haven't found an answer ... yet - still looking.
    I love my G4 MDD, she's been a good pal, and has done everything I've asked. But, for the life of me, I can't understand why, while watching streaming videos on Safari, the feeds are all choppy. (For example, catching up on LOST on abc. com, can be a frustrating experience.) I know the old girl is getting long in the tooth, but she's still a powerhouse computer. What (without buying a whole new machine) can I do? Is it a RAM problem? Video card? Hard drive? A Safari problem? I'm stumped.
    This is what I've got :Power PC G4 MDD, Dual 1GHz, 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM. I've got a strong Airport signal.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. In this economy, I gotta work with what I've already got.
    Thanks,
    Ralph W.

    Streaming video from over the internet isn't going to tax your video card.
    It's going to be either the broadband connection, the wireless, or the CPU struggling with an advanced video codec like H264.
    The MDD starts to struggle at about 1500kbps video/audio in H264 decompression. If you have any other processes running (like Spotlight Indexing in OSX 10.4 and 10.5 - which is a real killer just after a fresh install) then you're even more severely limited, perhaps 1300kbps.
    Sustained AirPort 'b' (for MDD) tops out at about 4000kbps with a perfect signal. The advertised 11Mbps is theoretical and something close may only be possible in a burst mode. Even if your wireless strength is perfect, there may be interference that will cut throughput in half, then half again.
    Don't know your broadband connection, but ISPs here in the UK use "traffic shaping", cutting back on our 8Mbps throughput to little more than 2Mbps, sometime less during busy periods (evenings, weekends, if you live in a primarily residential area).
    If any of these areas force your throughput to drop below the rate at which the TV show in encoded, you get jumpy video and/or audio.

  • Slow streaming videos on my ipad 2

    Onother devives my internet conexion is ok...any sugestions.?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • WRT160N V3 streamed video problem

    I am getting frequent stoppages in streamed video, a message appears on my laptop saying "loading" and a red line beginning traversing the screen. Eventually the line gets across and the video begins again to stream. When I do a speed test I get around 10 Mbps both through the router wireless and hardwired connections. This happens almost every 10 minutes. I have tried rebooting the router and the problem persists. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Try the followinf steps:
    # Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page.
    # Make the wireless Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    #Adjust the following advanced wireless settings for both 2.4 GHz:
    ~~ Lower the beacon interval from 100 to 50
    ~~ Lower the fragmentation threshold from 2346 to 2306
    ~~ Lower the RTS threshold from 2347 to 2304
    Then check the wireless status..

  • Incredibly slow streaming of video from macbook pro to apple tv

    Hi.  We purchased an apple tv 3rd generation connected to wifi.  our internet runs about 7mb/sec.  no problem streaming movies purchased on itunes through apple tv but ridiculously slow streaming mp4 through itunes to apple tv over macbook.  when i say ridiculously, not even sure if it works... just seems to think about it.   home sharing is enabled on both devices.  i know they are communicating because i can play my music library on the tv (which is also pretty slow).  am i missing something? 

    Home sharing is done over the local network so internet speed wouldn't play a factor. I would be inclined to think it is specific to the videos you are trying to share.
    Have you made sure they are compatible with the Apple TV?
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats

  • Slow, jerky streaming video on G4 iMac

    I am running Leopard 10.5.3 with no problems on a 1GHz G4 iMac with 1 gig of RAM. However, streaming video is virtually unwatchable: it is always slow and jerky. My internet connection is a steady 6.5 mbps down.
    Any suggestions on how I can make streaming video watchable?

  • Streaming videos slow from sites that recently worked OK.

    Video streaming from some sites, e.g., http://www.ussoccer.com/News/Referee-Programs/2011/09/Referee-Week-in-Review-Wee k-28.aspx, and others,
    recently working normally.  Now, extremely slow streaming to current 2011 21" iMac, old G4 'mushroom' Mac and Intel Powerbook (core duo).
    BUT THEY JUST RIP ON AN iPad!  SpeedTest shows about 10 Mbps download.  Similar slow result for wired ethernet connection and over Airport.

    It's an intel Mac, 2.66GHz running os10.5.8. I normally use Safari unless it crashes- then I use Firefox. Safari is 5.0.6 and Firefox is 3.0.6. Both Safari and Firefox have had their fair share of crashing recently, but it doesn't seem like the video streaming problem lies in the browser. The computer itself seems to run very hot during video, which I'm sure is relatively normal, but maybe it's been overheating or something. If I let it cool off for a bit the picture gets better but still not close to perfect. I just want my iBook G3 back- that thing worked like a charm for 7 years haha

  • Is anyone with an iPhone 6plus experiencing slow downloads and problems streaming videos online?

    is anyone with an iPhone 6+ experiencing slow download and slow video streaming online? I have had the iPhone 6 Plus and I've been experiencing my app is downloading a lot slower and being unable to stream videos online

    I hope someone from Apple is monitoring this site. Three days apps will not update, iOS8.0. Support told me to update to iOS8.02. Can't do that over WIFI or Cell network. Supports tells me have to link to iTUNES and do this. That takes three trys. Did that. Apps still not updating. Read online that resetting network settings will help. Did that App's hanging and not updating.
    Apple how does this happen. Night before iOS8.0 release you pull things because of some security issue. Then you have iOS8.01 fiasco and now this. Can someone get this right. We use these things for more than just phones now. FIX IT

  • Streaming videos from iPhone 4s via AirPlay is very slow

    . I took a few videos with my iPhone 4S when I was on vacation. When I try to stream them from my iPhone to my Apple TV, it buffers extremely slowly. However, when I stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my Apple TV, it buffers very quickly and plays very quickly. Based on that, I'm assuming that there's nothing wrong with my wireless network. So my question is, what could be wrong with my iPhone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
    Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
    I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

  • Slow Streaming - Local Files (Video ) only

    I'm trying to pin down this slow streaming and excessive buffering problem:
    Apple TV 2nd gen - updated to latest software - operating wirelessly
    Fios Actiontec Router
    PC quadcore intel (fast)
    Everything else seems to be working fine, photos, internet streaming, etc. But when I try to stream local video files, it is extremely slow (if it starts at all)
    I have just run a test and Netflix and Youtube are blazing fast to load and then play long videos.
    I have just tested it with 2 new videos in my Itunes Home Video folder:
    The orginal is an mp4- 258 MB with a 5.75 bitrate
    I actually also converted this via itunes to a m4v file for testing purposes
    Both files are extremely slow if they load at all.Virtually unwatchable.
    The same file (mp4) uploaded to youtube and played through the YouTube app plays almost instantaneously.
    Could this be some router setting? Or is this all I can expect to get,
    Is there some other fix?
    Thanks

    It likely has to do with the encoding. Local streaming is done over the local network. Try converting with handbrake.
    Here are the supported specs for ATV

  • Streaming video is slow with Yosemite. Why?

    Since upgrading to Yosemite, my streaming video is slow and choppy. What can I do to correct this?

    My appologies, dont know what I was thinking, this should have said:
    in the navigator, click on the slide with the video file
    Inspector > Animate > add an effect
    in the start transition dropdown select; Automatically
    set Delay to equal the duration of the video clip
    File > Export to > QickTime

  • Choppy / slow streaming internet video

     I have been having problems with streaming video on my internet for almost a year now. It used to work fine, but has gotten slow and choppy. I thought that it was my computer, but recently got a "smart" TV and it does the same thing.

    This sounds like the issue isn't with the tv itself, it may be the router or the battery back up unit.
    When is the last time you hard rebooted both of them?

  • Streaming video now slow

    Hello,
    I have a a MBPr, and since I got it in Feb, everything was going fine. I have High speed internet and my streaming videos from sites like sharesix, put locker etc would load lightening fast. Last 2 weeks, theyre SUPER slow, something that would load in 5-10 mins now takes 5-10 mines to load just 1 minute of the video.
    Its universal, on safari, firefox, and chrome, initially I was just using firefox and thought that was the issue so I cleaned out my history/cache/cookies etc. It didn't help.
    Any suggestions?

    Power off the router. Wait a while. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
    It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode
