Streaming audio player problems.

I would be grateful if someone could help me with the following problems.
I have developed an audio streaming app that relies on OSMF framework in Android and StageVideo / Netstream classes in iOS (OSMF is HLS agnostic).
The Android app, works great except when the screen goes dark or when the app is pushed in the background.
When the screen goes dark, the app takes almost a minute to switch between streams. When testing in AIR simulator and when the device screen is not dark, the app moves to the next track quickly. Why? Is this related to the fact that the framerate slows to 4 per second when device screen is dark?
If the app is pushed to the background, the audio continues playing, but when the track is complete, the player does not continue to play the next track. If I bring the app to the foreground, it immediately starts playing the next track. Again, I don't understand why this is the case?
I tried setting the different rendering modes to direct, and cpu. When set to direct, the app stops playing as soon as the screen goes dark. In auto and cpu mode, it continues to play but it does exhibit the problems mentioned above. I did not try the GPU since Adobe is against doing so for Flex applications.
When testing in iOS, the app keeps the screen lit the whole time. This is by design from me because I have added
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode = SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;
to keep the phone screen from going dark. If I allow the screen to go dark, the app stops playing. The audio stops playing if I push the app to the background as well. Of course, keeping the screen lit is not ideal because it unnecessarily drains the battery and is distracting when driving at night. I have seen other apps for example that keep playing audio when the screen dark, so I know that it is possible. Any suggestions on how to keep the audio playing when the screen goes dark or when the app is pushed to the background would be greatly appreciated.

Just to be clear, using the same sound file Ableton Live will crash but other media players play it back fine? If that's the case, I would contact Ableton support.

Streaming Audio Application Problem

HI All,
I have written a small application for streaming audio in flash cs3/as2. One strange thing I observed that I cant play streaming audio from
all the free streaming website I add to the list. After the website address if I mention the port number then cant get the audio.
I tried with this address http://stream.radiosai.net:8002 that is added to trusted list/path. My analyse is that if the address has strings like ":8002" i.e port number then flash doesn't allow them to use... I also observed that if I run the swf file using internet explorer then everything works fine... however test movie (Ctrl+ENTER) from CS3 tool doesn't work Please help me....

Here's the code.
EDIT
As always seems to happen for me, as I posted my code, I
found what was wrong with it. In my playSong function, I was saying
s = new Sound(); without reasigning the handler for the event. I
just didn't see it until right after I posted my code.
Thanks for your help anyway.

}I really tried to do something very simple but seems no !!
And by the way, the pause button, when i press on it, it should only pauses the play but seems it's making the player stop not pause ^^

Thx again !!
For the images/text, i'll be trying myself to do something and i hope this time i'll do it without yur help !!
As for the Mp3 Player, here is the code, would be nice of to see if there is something that can be added, perfectionized !!

Errors filling up daily.out file, streaming audio/vid problems, how to fix

I've been experincing some seemingly random problems with my macbook
1) Hard drive suspiciously full
2) Cursor skipping around the screen when using the track pad, I finally disabled the pad and solely use an external wireless mouse. Occasionally when I turn the computer on the cursor will move around, but I'll be unable to select anything with the left click, right click still works, when I restart again the problem goes away. May or may not be related to other problems
3) Recently have been having problems with streaming video/audio. The videos will load fine, but the audio will start skipping and soon the video will stop. This happens most noticeably with Netflix, which tells me I have an audio problem that requires that I reinstall my "audio card drivers." It also happens with video from vimeo, youtube, and other sources, regardless of whether I'm using Firefox or Safari. On the other hand, songs on itunes work fine. I check my download speed, which is actually above what I'm paying for. My google fu has failed me in determining what the actual problem is.
Today I determined that the daily.out file is 19.6 gb, and when checking the log I found many many many repetitions of the following errors:
"Fri May 4 15:02:00 House kernel[0] <Debug>: IOAudioStream\[0x57b5d00\]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (18,2c44)->(1a,1882)."
Alternating with:
"Fri May 4 14:34:37 House Firewall[62] <Info>: Deny Belkin Router Mo data in from 192.168.2.1:45563 to port 10111 proto=17"
So, I'm thinking my huge daily.out file is related to my audio problems. Any ideas on what's up with my audio/firewall?
Other common errors:
Mon Apr 30 12:16:46 House com.apple.launchd[1] (com.google.keystone.daemon) <Warning>: Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Mon Apr 30 12:16:16 House com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[193] (com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher[57563]) <Warning>: Exited with exit code: 1
Mon Apr 30 12:12:29 House com.apple.launchd[1] (at.obdev.littlesnitchd[57493]) <Warning>: Exited with exit code: 1
I know I can clear the daily.out file, but I'd like to address the problems filling it up so I don't have to keep emptying it. If I have to reinstall my OS, fine, but I'd rather not deal with it if I don't have to. Thanks so much for any ideas.

I have a suspicion that the problem is not in the recording device itelf, but rather in the playback-software, which is struggling with an unfamiliar audio format/codec/whatever-it's-called... I opened the file in QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) and selected "Show Movie Properties" and it says:
"Video Track: H.264
Sound Track: Integer (Little Endian)"
All current Mac systems support Integer (both Big and Little Endian) audio natively. The fact you can hear anything at all proves that the audio is playing back. The most likely problem would be a malfunction associated with the mic pickup.

Audio player problems

Hello!
Im developing a game and I have trouble with the sound. All actions regarding sound are treated in a separate thread. But in happens that I get:
** Audio receiveEvent: event: 0
** Audio receiveEvent: event: 16
** Audio receiveEvent: event: 3
I figured out that event3 means player has stopped. Can you tell me where I could find where I can find what event 0 and event 16 mean?
Thank You,
Raul

forgot to mension, the application freezes when those events appear.

RAM streamed audio - capturing problem

I have come from the PC camp where I can fire up Realplayer and sound recorder and record the audio stream (for later listening).
Now on the MAC I find I am unable to achieve this. I tried AudioHijack and it required SoundFlower. This seemed to work but screwed up other audio settings which I didn't want screwed up. I ended up uninstalling Soundflower.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this? I tried Audacity but it seems to only support 'line in'. I tried various other internet-radio apps but they didn't seem very happy about connecting to the sources I want (BBC) let alone allowing me to save/record the stream. I tried VLC but it didn't want to play all the stream and I couldn't see a way of saving it anyway.
I'm running Leopard and all I get in the Audio configuration under INPUT is 'Internal Microphone' and 'Line in'.
Is there no application out there that could perform this simple task?

You should uninstall Soundflower then. I don't think you need it. According to the Soundflower description:
*What It Is*
Soundflower is used to allow all system audio to be hijacked. With Soundflower installed, all System Audio can be hijacked at once and used, instead of grabbing audio from just one application at a time.
You said you are trying to record from the BBC. That means you are trying to record one application's output, not from everything that's running. Therefore, it sounds like you don't need to have Soundflower installed at all.
All you need is the default Audio Hijack behavior, which is to record a single application's audio stream.
I've been using Audio Hijack for years, and to avoid conflicts, I still have not installed the Extras (Instant Hijack, Soundflower, and Schedule Helper). So choose Audio Hijack Pro > Install Extras, click the Soundflower tab, and click Uninstall and see if you can then do what you want to do without trouble.

Problem with streaming audio

I wasn't sure if this is a problem with Safari, iTunes, or OS X, so rather than post the question in all three of those forums I decided to post the question here.
I can't seem to get streaming audio to open and play when I click on their appropriate links in Safari. I tried several different links through a few different sites, but when I click on a "Play" or "Listen Now" link for an MP3 stream, a Safari download window opens and that's it -- no stream.
I solved the problem by copying the link, going to iTunes, and choosing "Open Stream" from the "Advanced" menu, and the stream played fine, but I would hate to have to do that every time I want to sample an audio stream.
Anyone know why it wouldn't work when I clicked on the direct link?
Thanks.

Nevermind. Noob figured out what he was doing wrong.
See Safari "Preferences", "Open 'safe' files after downloading".

Bug: OS 4.5 Media Player does not allow BB screen to shut off when playing streaming audio

I updated my Verizon Pearl 8130 to OS 4.5. Now, when streaming audio from a station such as "Groove Salad" at http://www.somafm.com, the screen does not shut off but stays on indefinitely, wasting precious battery power. OS 4.3 Media Player did allow the screen to turn off when streaming audio.

I have a similar issue since upgrading to to 4.5 with my vzw 8130. with 4.3 I was able to stream audio and then have it run in the background to read messages or address book for example all the while the audio was still playing. Now once I get the audio streaming and back out to the main menu the media player quits.

Bug: OS 4.5 Media Player sometimes aborts when initiating streaming audio

I loaded OS 4.5 on my Verizon 8130. When attempting to initiate streaming of the Groove Salad 64 kb station at http://www.somafm.com sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I have had these various results when it did not work:
BB rebooted
Received a java language null pointer exception
Received a java error message that indicated an array index was out of range
RIM can you please fix this? Thanks,

Macbook 2009 bluetooth Yosemite - Streaming Audio problems

I seem to have terrible problems with bluetooth streaming Audio ever since the upgrade, sounds like a bug that needs to be fixed.

I also always listened to streaming web radio in itunes (128k) which is now barely usable in Yosemite, it skips, drops out and stops playing constantly.
I have a 75mbps fios connection so that is not the issue and it always worked great before. Just started after upgrading to yosemite.

Streaming audio to airplay from BD player

Hello Audiophiles!
I like to stream audio of non-iOS devices (BD player and such) to AirPlay or directly to airplay speakers. Is there a way to do this via an airport express unit or a similar 3rd party device?
Thanks for any help.

Thank you. This is very helpful info!
The BD player is also DVB-C set-top box for the TV, which itself does not have a DVB-C decoder. We like to have the normal TV sound streaming to wireless speakers, preferably airplay speakers, without running a computer (iMac or MBP). We also have the Apple TV G2, which basically has only two audio outputs: AirPlay and the optical connector. My pretty old but excellent stereo does not have optical input...
So now I am looking into a system that can do everything: AirPlay without running any OSX device (except for an Airport WiFi router) and also taking streams from other audio sources. This is based on the WAF - (wife acceptance factor).
After googleing all afternoon, I kind of found a system that could do the job: Active speaker systems, which accept dual- or multi-source input, i.e. AirPlay, analog, and digital audio input. Then I could get a bluetooth transmitter for audio, such as the TRX1 from b-speech, for non-iOS devices.
This would become relatively complex and would turn my home into a large-scale microwave oven...
Still in the process of figuring it all out.
Maybe all I need is a new TV with airplay support.... This is how this industry wants you - or at least me - to think ... and act ;-)

Streaming audio and/or video crashes your router BEFW11s4 firmware problem

Ok!!! Apparently some of us have had the problem where trying to stream audio and/or video can cause the Linsys BEFW11S4 to crash, where only a power down and re-up will retore communication. Changing the MTU size has been suggested ad-nausium. I hope this works for you all, because it worked for me.
Apparently the latest firmware is the problem. I just installed an older firmware version and problem solved (1.50.14).
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/befw11s4_v4_v1.50.14_code.bin
So, looks like maybe Linksys could hopefully issue another firmware update that fixes this (we hate having to use old firmware... trading off one bug fix for other multiple bugs that may rear their ugly head later on).
list of bugfix history found here:

Hi all -
This looks like this will fix the issue I have with my router. I'm willing to try it, anyway.
My question is pretty basic: What do I do after I download the file?
Thanks, Kate

How to stream audio/video to real Audio Player

Hello
I am planning on doing a project on streaming audio/video onto Real Audio Player . I am very new to JMF . I would appreciate some pointers on how to start off. I ahve read the documents but am not able to get started right .
I wanted to know the following :
1. Isnt the RTP streaming streaming for live audio or video ? If I want to stream something which I have stored in my local machine then how do i do it - do i need to use RTP ?
2. I undertsand that if i need to stream the audio/video file I need to convert it to a format the Real Audio Player supports. How do i go about that ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance
Shailaja

JMF doesn't have any support for Real media. Real has gone open source with their Helix Community, so maybe you could find some useful information there: http://www.helixcommunity.org

Problems with Camino and Safari browers on sites streaming audio and video.

The Camino browser (latest update) will not allow me to type anything if I am listening to a site with streaming audio or video. As soon as I start typing, I get white patches all over the place. The only solution was to use Safari for listening and do the typing on Camino. Now, Safari freezes on every single site that has any streaming. The Safari version is 3.03, and it was working fine a few days ago. Any ideas?

Hi,
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a .flv file. If it downloads the file as it should then move the .plist file to the Trash, otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't help, back to the Finder window, Home folder, Library / Safari. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash. Restart Safari. Try again.
And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Could be an Extension causing a conflict. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari, try again.
