Solution to IE 7 Streaming Video Problems? - Install Foxfire!

For the past several weeks I have been tracking suggestions to fix the problems with streaming video many of us have been having after installing Internet Explorer 7, like the question mark over the Quicktime symbol or error messages. I've tried proposed solutions from Microsoft's forums and Quicktime's forums. I've changed all kinds of settings, registry edits and unistalled and reinstalled IE 7, Quicktime, Real Player, Windows Media more than once.
Finally, this morning I decided to download Foxfire 2 - only 5.4 megs. Haven't used it for more than three hours so far, but I have gone to every video site at which I was having problems and FOXFIRE HAS PLAYED EVERYTHING!
The best way to get Microsoft to quit distributing software with bugs is to choose an alternative until MS improves its quality control.
Windows XP SP2
AMD Turion 64 chip
ATI Radian Xpress 200M graphics card
Norton Internet Security
iMac & HP Pavilion L2000 Windows XP SP2 & AMD Turion 64 chip

Just for the sake on anyone who reads this and tries to find it, the browser's name is Firefox, not Foxfire.

Streaming Video Problem

Hi
I'm having a problem playing streaming video with quicktime. It's mostly fine but I cannot play streaming video in some websites (I have to find out the URL and enter it directly) and I cannot play any streaming videos in iTunes (only downloaded videos). I have the latest versions of Quicktime and iTunes and have tried re-installing and using the older ones.
Thanx

Just out of interest is all video streaming running like this, if you go say to the apple tutorials do they load and play correctly ?. If they are ok it may be a long shot but you may need a codec or something like that. Goto http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/flip4mac.mspx have a read and download the quicktime plug-in

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!

Streaming videos problem

I have a new macbook air. 11 inch. All of a sudden, it doesn't process streaming video correctly. The first screen shot of the video will come up, but nothing no more video for A WHILE. Audio processes normally. Even when the video does finally start going, it doesn't process properly. Any solutions?
Oh, and webpage crash a lot all of a sudden. And the computer is generally sluggish.
Thanks.

Okay, so I reset it and then tried playing again. Still gets to a point where it completely lags. In fact when you press pause, the film doesn't pause straight away, it has to catch up with itself and plays all the bits it is behind on if that makes sense.
And the 'other' category for storage is still full, up at 12GB at the moment.
On a side note, not sure why my previous reply says it is 'solved'. And not sure how to 'unsolve' it.

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..

Streaming video problems

I am watching the World Cup online in Sweden on my MacPro (2.66 Ghz, 8Gig ram, RadeonX1900 video card) . They have divided airing of games between TV4 and SVT. When I watch a game live on TV4's tv4play.se, it's great and I sometimes forget I'm watching on the web. When I watch on SVT's svtplay.se, it's like I get to see every other frame. It's really sticky and not fluid at all. Sometime when I start up the stream it looks like it might be okay but then it just gets sticky again.
I presume they are both using flash ( I know that SVT is and presume that TV4 is) and I have installed the latest flash 10.1 upgrade. I have been having video card issues (artifacts in my browser windows and split-second diagonal dark flashes when watching video) but I don't understand why the TV4 stream works so well and the SVT doesn't.
On my girlfriends macbook pro SVT looks good.
Does any one know what the problem could be?

Upgrade to Nvidia and 10.6.3, oh, wait, you can't! there are no Nvidia graphic card upgrades - outside of some ebay potential 1st revision cards here and there.
Flash 10.1 off loads cpu processing of Flash to GPU. That has been very effective and useful - on PCs that have been using CUDA/GPGPU longer.
10.6.3 brings new APIs. Have to see how soon and well ATI jumps into OpenCL (the 1.1 specification finally came out) so still early.

WRT160N with PS3 - streaming video problem

Hi there, I recently upgraded from a netgear wireless router to a WRT160N. I run video streaming from my PC to my sons PS3 using windows media player. Prior to the upgrade, I was able to run this fine. Since upgrading however, the media streaming works but on a regular basis, the video just freezes. When I pause the video using the PS3 console, then restart it, this mostly clears the problem. It's only started happening since upgrading. I've tried watching other video files that I know work but have the same problem.
Anyone out there have any suggestions? Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion but this made it worse. I did however manage to find a workround in which I gave the PS3 a static ip address which was within the ip range (192.168.1.120) and on the wireless router itself, I adjusted the settings. I opened the webpage of the router http://192.168.1.1 applications and gaming tab - DMZ and typed in the destination address of 192.168.1.120. The freezing of the video files has now stopped.

Iphone 3G streaming video problem

After upgrading to OS 3.1, video streaming from youtube, msnbc.com app, etc., will play normally for 2-3 minutes, then the video will become choppy and eventually freeze completely even though the download bar indicates that all video data has transferred. I have tried doing a full restore a few times but this has not helped. Everything else seems to be working fine. Has anyone else come across a similar problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Had the same problem tried everthing. Took it to apple and they wernt very helpful!
Tried my carrier they couldn't see any problems with my account!
This went on for a few weeks, so I took it back to apple. After I had a chat with them
again, we finally found out it was my sim card! Got a new sim card and that was it back to normal.
Download check my tubes from the app store this will tell you how fast your phone is at down loading data.
I was getting 56 kbs and all my friends were getting 350+. It's a good app to keep an eye on your phone

My mac mini locks up streaming video fresh install of Mavericks ?

My mac mini 2011 locks up while watching catch up tv from ABC Aus, rarely on others , it did it on Mountain Lion and continues on Maverick. It locks up and there is a sound loop running of like 1 second of sound . So I know it is not software , and it streams to my ipad and air ok , so it must be hardware or overheating as it gets really hot while doing it . BTW its over wifi . Any one had similair problems ?

My 2012 mac mini had the same problem whenever I would stream from twitch.tv, netflix, and even sometimes youtube. I tried clearing PRAM, clearing SMC, running hardware diagnostics, using Disk Utility's repair function. Nothing worked.
Try deleting everything contained in the directory ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/
(You'll need to show hidden files to find it)
After doing that, I've been streaming twitch for about two hours now without incident, whereas I could never manage more than 15 minutes before that.

Streaming Video to PDF Without Flash: Is It Possible?

I'm creating an interactive PDF that needs to be fully supported on both desktop and mobile devices, which has limited my options considerably as mobile support for interactive PDF elements is very limited [I can pretty much only rely on hyperlinks to take me from page to page as well as to external websites]. My client wants videos included, which work inside of the mobile app were delivering to [Documents by Readdle] when embedded as part of the file, but they also want the PDF to be under 25MB, which isn't practical when it comes to compressing 6+ videos and not completely throwing out the quality.
The solution I need is streaming video that would work without the use of a Flash widget, as Flash is not supported on iOS. Does that exist, or is the only way to stream video from an online source inside the PDF document with Flash?
I'm creating the documnet with InDesign CC, and have access to the entire CC Suite.

It's theoretically possible to define an external media URI which uses a non-Flash protocol if you skirt around the edges of the ISO standards but there is no software out there which can do it, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
PDFs with video and interactivity are simply not suitable for mobile deployment. Your project will either need to split the deliverables (PDF for desktop, native app for mobile platforms) or publish using HTML5 in a browser and use something like YouTube to push the media content.

Problems streaming video (after 5-10 mins)

Hi,
I used to have no problems streaming video (hulu, espn3 etc), but recently my quality starts dropping out after 5-10 mins. It starts off fine but then the video starts getting jumpy then the audio starts to fuzz out. If I refresh the browser and even restart. the problem can still be there.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is there any chance that this not an issue with my computer, but with my internet connection?
Thanks!

I too am having this same issue. I have only started having it after installing Lion. I am forced to restart my computer if I wish to watch a video. I have no solutions!

Problems streaming video after computer sleeps

I have brand new MacBook Pro, which came with a free Lion upgrade, so one of the first things that I did upon getting my new laptop was to go to the app store and download/install Lion.
Anyways, I've been having issues streaming videos online on sites like youtube, hulu, etc. When I first start up my computer I am able to stream without any issues, but after my computer has been put to sleep and reawakened, all video that I attempt to stream online becomes choppy. The audio works perfectly, but the video is jumpy and unwatchable. If I restart my computer everything works fine again, but obviously this is an annoying process to have to go though every single time I want to watch a show or something online.
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues? My younger brother, who got the exact same computer as me is having no problems at all.
Additionally, when my login screen appears after a restart or whenever I turn my computer on my user icon appears all the way over to the left of my screen and is only partially visible. Not a huge inconvenience, but it's just annoying to already have weird little things going wrong with a brand new computer.
Help please?

I too am having this same issue. I have only started having it after installing Lion. I am forced to restart my computer if I wish to watch a video. I have no solutions!

After firefox update it will not stream video, explorer will on the same system, what is the problem?

Firefox notified me that an update was available to install and after this install was complete I could not stream video from any site. I was instructed to clear my browser cache, I did ti no avail. I updated Adobe Flash and exhausted the extent of my troubling abilities w/o causing any major system unrest. I accessed the same video steam through explorer on the same system, but firefox is a far superior browser and I like to solve this problem to avoid having to find another browser.
Please advise
Aaron Schuler

I have the same problem. After the upgrade, my wifi is greyed out, and the battery won't hold a charge long. I reset all the settings, tried all the things suggested by Apple, but it didn't work. I took the phone to Verizon, but they said they can't fix it, go to Apple
I made an appointment at the Genius bar, where the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive. A representative told me that the wi-fi is broken and I would need to buy a new phone for $200, because mine is out of warranty. I'm due for an upgrade in a few months, so I'm not going to pay $200 for another 4S now. I'm also not going to buy any more Apple products. Their upgrade caused this problem, and they are not standing behind their producet.
