Streaming bandwidth too low?

I just tried to wget a 700mb movie from my server to my local machine. Download speeds range between 250KBps to 700KBps. It's a wireless connection between the machines. (Yea I know it's retarded, but my girlfriend won't let me have more cables than i already have;)) I guess that's the reason for the varying speed. However..shouldn't this speed be sufficient to stream an average quality (~150-200MB) Simpsons episode?
It lags a lot. Like..it stops every 5th second or so. VLC says "ffmpeg decoder error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)", but i refuse to believe that's the case here. It must be something with the bandwidth.
The server is mounted on my laptop with a nfs share, which i heard should be pretty fast.
I have tried asking at the IRC channel. I get the reply "it depends on what quality the movie has" and I understand this, but I don't know how to see how much quality it has, and if that could be the reason.
Please give me any thoughts, ideas etc. you can come up with.. I really don't understand why this isn't fast enough to run decently.
Thank you!

Good idea..worked perfectly! Thank you very very much!.

Dynamic streaming taking too long time to switch video using NetStreamPlayOptions in AS3

Hi,
Can any one tell me why dynamic streaming taking too much time to switch video from lower bit rate to higher bit rate and vice versa.
I am doing dynamic streaming in following ways -
var param:NetStreamPlayOptions = new NetStreamPlayOptions();
param.oldStreamName=oldStream();
param.streamName=newStream()
param.transition=NetStreamPlayTransitions.SWITCH;
ns.play2(param);
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, switchMode);
I am using duel buffering and that is 3 seconds when video starts and 10 seconds when "NetStream.Buffer.Full". Video taking approximately 30-50 seconds to switch video and when I am calling the above code.
Thanks & regards
Sunil Kumar

Hi Sunil,
Was my link useful to you? If you have not gone through the link which I suggested just go through the below lines it may help you:
For a faster switch with optimal keyframe interval and client-side buffer, when Flash Media Server (FMS) receives a "switch" command, the server waits for a keyframe to switch to the new stream. FMS looks for the keyframes in the new stream in chunks equal to the client's buffer size(NetStream.bufferTime), so having a client buffer larger than the keyframe interval of the stream would help with a fast switch response time from the server—in other words, a shorter delay between a "switch" call to the server and the client receiving bits from the new stream in response.
Following values are considered most optimal:
Keyframe interval: 5 sec.
Client-side buffer: 6–10 sec.
So to maintain optimal keyframe interval you can go for fresh encoding of your videos which will give you a chance to set keyframe interval or if you dont want to do this then I would suggest you to increase the client-side buffer.
Regards,
Amit

IPad volume too low on Apple TV when watching movies

Hi.
I have the latest Apple TV, 3rd Gen iPad and Retina MacBook Pro. If I play any movie through Apple TV using my iPad (using Video App) the volume is often far too low. This means that I have to turn my Amp/Speakers up (to around +60; +40 is normal) often leading to the sound cutting out altogether and on one occassion blew my amp.
However, I can put the identical film/file on my MacBook Pro - stream that into my Apple TV and the volume outputs at +40 as normal and everything is fine.
Also - If I stream TV etc through the iPad and play it onto my Apple TV - again this can be heard no problems at +40. The same can be said if I stream a youtube video using the iPad (+40 is fine)
I can only conclude there is something amiss with my iPad or in partic the Video App/settings for films but have no idea how to remedy it.
Pls can someone help me sort this as my Macbook pro is often left in the office and so I cant use it to watch movies at home all the time
Thanks

Have you tried checking or resetting your volume limiter under "music" from the Settings home page. Scroll down to "Music" and tap "Volume Limit". Once there you can either turn it off or raise the maximum volume. If you go to the max it will just turn off the limiter.
Here's a video from CNET that also explains this easy adjustment.

Hi @MayurJoshi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 15-p027tx Notebook and playing sound too low. Here is a document on troubleshooting sound.
Please make sure your updates have been done on the Notebook. In the device manager under sound right click and update the driver. Here is another step to try.
1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner by your time.
2. Click Playback Devices.
3. Click Speakers/Headphones.
4. Click Properties.
5. Click the Advanced tab on the Properties window.
6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
7. Apply the properties.
8. Click OK to close the properties window.
9. Click OK to close the Playback Devices.
What browser are you using? I would check to make sure the browser is up to date.
Does this happen when playing a DVD or CD?
Make sure you do not have other things running in the back ground when a video is playing as open browser Windows do effect the streaming.
Hope this helps you with the sound.
Thanks.

HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook Speaker Volume Too Low

I have all speaker/audio settings everywhere set at maximum, but the speaker volume I get when I play any kind of audio or video feed from anywhere is way too low. (If I plug external speakers into the headphone jack, the volume is much better.) I've seen all of the posts where the solution was to do something on the "Enhancements" tab in Playback Devices, Properties, but I don't have that tab on my system. When I go into the Configure option and do the audio test, the volume there is great! I've also checked for updates on my audio drivers and the results have come back saying I have the best version already.
I've been putting up with this for a long time, but I'm really tired of having to plug external speakers in when I want to watch a video or listen to streaming music. I'd appreciate any suggestions (other than the one involving the "Enhancements" tab that I don't have) that might help fix this problem!

Hello @Lagil ,

BT broadband too low IP profile

Hi everyone,
Before I sent a message to the mods I wanted to see if anyone here could help me out.
I have just moved to the Deddington, Oxfordshire area where I have an ASDL line with BT up to speeds of 8mbps (advertised). However over the course of the past few weeks the speed has varied from 0.4mbps to 1.7mbps for download and 0.1-0.35mbps for uploading. This is obviously pretty slow and is directly effecting my work (I need to download some data via scp from a supercomputer for my work).
I did some investigation and it seems that my IP profile is set too low and I was hoping BT could increase this to match my actual line speed. The results from the bt speedchecker are:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 1.87 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.4 Mbps-2 Mbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :7.42 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 2 Mbps
Also the connection data from my router (home hub3 ) is:

Its only showing 1 day ish for connection because I've been testing it on my master socket or others to see if this made a difference (it doesn't). I've also tried the quiet line test and that works fine. Also I've unplugged my sky box.
I think I saw something on one forum post where a user asked BT to manually increase their IP profile to close to 8mbps and then their connection improved to 6 or 7 mbps.
If anyone has any advice then I would be very grateful!
Thanks
Neil

your btspeedtester results do not agree with your stats as far as conenction speed - were they run a different times? can you run new btspeedtester and post results.
you rpofile looks stuck at 2mb and if you can post router stats showing 3+ days conenction time then you can contact the mods and get it kicked into action but need to show 3+ days conection time first

How to block an order if the price is too low?

Hello,
My problem is :
How to block an order if the price is too low?
I created a new type of condition ZMIN and an access by material.
When the net price is below the minimum price the system must position the order on incomplete document for error of price.
Thank you in advance.
Frédéric Blaise
e-Kenz S.A.

Hello,
you can enter a lower limit in the condition record:
Lower limit of the condition rate/amount
Indicates whether, during document processing, the system checks if manual changes fall short of the lower limit allowed for the corresponding condition record.
Use
When you maintain the scales in a condition record, the system checks whether the scale value falls below the lower limit.
Or you can use the flag 'conditon update'.
Condition update
Controls whether limit values are relevant for pricing.
E.g.: you can make the use of a particular condition record in the document dependent on a specified total value.
This total value can be specified in the condition record.
I hope that the information are helpful.
With best regards

Price too low - Invoice is not blocked...

Dear,
Probably you all know that invoices can be automatically blocked for payment based on the tolerances set up in customizing. When the price is too high, the system acts like expected, but when the price is too low, we don't get the preferred result. You get a warning message, but no payment block. It would be nice if the invoices with a "price too low" are blocked too.
We don't like to park them, because we work with a scanning procedure, so all invoices have to be posted immediately in the finance department, otherwhise it's very difficult to follow - up...
The purchasing and stock department are solving all the issues (qty and price differences) based on the list in MRBR. If the invoices with incorrect contracts are not in the list, this can give some problems. I've asked the finance people to block the invoices with a lower price manually, but for them this way of working is a little bit annoying...
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Is there a BADI or user exit (or customizing parameter)?
Thanks in advance!
Kind Regards,
Lien

Please note the following:
The system will check the lower tolerance limit but an invoice will
never be blocked if the LOWER limit is exceeded. The system will only
display a warning message. In the standard system invoices will only be
blocked if the UPPER limit is exceeded because normally one wants to
prevent to pay more than expected.
In SAP Library: MM-Invoice with Variances-Tolerances you will also
find the following explanation:
".. If the variance is outside the tolerance limit, the system displays
this in a warning message. If you do not adjust your entries, you can
still post the invoice. If, however, the upper tolerance limit is
exceeded, the system automatically blocks the invoice for payment."
If this is an issue, message M8084 and M8085 can be customized as
error messages, as a work around. Please transaction OMRM
(spro -> materials management -> logistics invoice verification ->
Define attributes of system messages here you can set message 084 to
error)
You may also want to see the user exit exit_saplkont_002,
enhancement MM08R002 for blocking.
I hope this information will answer your query.

Usb port 1.1 too low

our usb ports are 1.1. too low for ipod shuffle which needs 2.0 if we buy a dock or flexible dock, will both work for converting or will we still be in trouble? operating w/ OS x10.2.8

I'm confused, since Apple claims the shuffle will work on a USB 1.1 port using 10.2.8. (Transfers will obviously be slower.)
If your problem is that the ports accessible to you are low power, for which Apple's recommendation is a different operating system, I'd try a powered hub. The shuffle dock I'm familiar with is really an extension cable with a fancy end on it; to use it you'd want to make sure its male connector was plugged into a port which was providing enough power.
Good luck

Pop up window saying Memory is too low to continue in Logic.Why?Way to Fix?

I recently purchased my IMac OSX 10.6.3 as well as Logic. I have about a half dozen projects on my hard drive now, which is also being backed up to a "time machine" external drive. The projects are pretty small( just piano, or piano and string quartet, etc.) I also just installed Office Suite for Mac and the full Adobe Creative Suite.
Recently when I have been working in the Score Editor(In Logic Pro 9), a pop up window appears saying something to the effect of "memory is getting low, don't install more plugins and remove any unused ones." Then today, after that pop up, another one showed up and said "memory is too low to continue. we will close project, autosave, etc. etc."
Why is this happening? Is there not enough memory on my computer? Will this actually effect editing procedures in Logic? (because it seems like some things aren't working like they used to) Is there a quick and easy fix? Is this related to space remaining on hard drive, or is it completely different? Could it be related to the IMAC backing up files to my "time machine" drive at the same time I am working in LOGIC?
Could someone who has a little time on their hands please answer these questions IN DETAIL? I am new to MAC and LOGIC, so I really have no Idea what's going on with the memory issue. I don't even understand how MEMORY corresponds to available space, quality of running programs, etc.
Please help. I'm working on a deadline to finish a Master's portfolio and this could potentially be a big bump in the road for me.
Thanks....

The System Requirements for Logic Studio call for a minimum or 1 GB RAM with 2 GB recommended. So you should not have a problem with your 4 GB.
First make sure your RAM is being recognized by your computer. Go to Apple Menu (apple in upper left hard corner and click on "About this Mac". Make sure it say 4 GB. Ram chip at times will go bad or become unseated.
Now for troubleshooting, here is what I would do. The next time you want to use Logic, restart your computer. Restarting "flushes" the RAM; it may not sound like it but that is a good thing. Then do not open any other programs other than Logic (except ones you may need for it). You listed an awesome group of software you own. Your computer is not set up for all these programs to automatically start up when you turn on the computer, is it??
So I am betting that you will not get the low memory message when only Logic is working. With some trial and error you will be able to open more and more programs at the same time without effecting Logic.
You can better understand your RAM by opening Activity Monitor (Applications >> Utilities >> Activity Monitor). Click on the System Memory tab at the bottom and you can visualize what your RAM (Memory) is doing. There is also a list of programs that are open and what resources they are sucking up.
Good luck with your computer and your masters.

Volume too low on ringer and with hands-free headsets

Both the ringer's volume and the volume within headsets are too low in my new Droid X. When holding it to my ear while talking it is loud enough well below max volume, but hearing people through headsets while driving is often too low with all volumes set to max (on loud freeways, for example). I usually keep my phone's ringer on silent vibrate, but it would be nice to be able to turn it up louder when the phone is sitting on a desk at home. Cell phone ringers can be obnoxiously loud, but there are times when people need to have them turned up.
Because it is an issue in both the ringer speaker and the jack for wired headsets, it seems like there is a good chance of getting a software fix to raise the max volume levels. Reading posts on forums, it seems clear that this problem is widespread in most, if not all, Droid X devises.
If you are having similar problems, please take a moment to call both Verizon and Motorola with a polite report of the issue. I spoke with both today and they said they were aware of the issue, and the tech at Motorola said they were "looking into" a software fix for it. If enough people call and report it, we have a better chance of getting a fix sometime soon.
Verizon's support line is: (800) 922-0204.
Motorola's is: (800) 734-5870 (I chose #6 for "other issues" a couple of times after routing into Droid support to get a live tech)
It can be frustrating to filter through the support systems and report it, especially if they tell you to try obvious things like rebooting the phone and turning the volume up, but it really is the only way to get them to fix this issue. Both techs I spoke with actually looked in their systems right away and acknowledged the issue is being reported by people.
Of course, if anyone has a real solution to this issue, please let us know what it is!

Thanks for the suggestion JKramer. I should have been more clear about having adjusted all volumes up in the settings screen. Assuming all sound options are located within the "Settings --> Sound & Display" screen, then yes, I have tried changing them. I have also tried changing the option to "use incoming call volume for notifications" under the "ringer volume" settings, after reading that someone had success in improving volume that way.
This issue is not a problem all of the time. It is only an issue when there is an elevated level of background noise, such as driving on the freeway, or having music or a movie playing in the room.
The phone is otherwise excellent! I live and commute in areas of very spotty reception (with all cell providers), and this phone will keep calls and not even have voices garble where my past two phones have consistently dropped calls in at least five problem locations. So far, everything else about it seems to work great!
Maybe some of these phones don't have this issue. Or, maybe the people who say they don't encounter the problem are lucky enough to live in relatively quite environments most of the time. In a quiet house or office, it is certainly loud enough. It just needs to have the option for increased volume when in noisy places. The issue is that its "max volume" settings are not as loud as with other phones.
Searching for something like "Droid X volume" will indeed show many people experiencing these same problems on various forums...

Drum loops are too low in volume vs guitars when overdubbing

After 8 hrs of learning Logic Express 9. I can't record the guitars "hot" because the Apple drum loops are too low in volume. I max them out with extra gain. I even duplicate them so I have two tracks. How can I get the drum loop volume up. I've tried everything I can think of to push it as loud as it will get. I've tried normalizing. I am assuming the quality of the guitar recording is related to how "hot" it's recorded or at least you shouldn't have to turn it down to about 20% when I overdub. I've got an M-Audio solo. Thanks.

Hi
Have you tried monitoring the guitars at a lower lever? You can still record them hot, but listen at a lower level.
From my LE8 manual...
Setting the Monitoring Level
If the Independent Monitoring Level (for Record Enabled Channel Strips) preference in
the Logic Express > Preferences > Audio > Devices > Core Audio tab is enabled, an
independent monitoring level is available when an audio channel is record enabled.
After arming the track, set the fader to the desired level. The original playback level will
be restored when the channel’s Record button is disabled.
Important: The Level fader only controls the playback (or monitoring) level, not the
recording level, when a track is record enabled. Recording levels must be set
externally—on your mixer, or at the original sound source. Care must be taken when
setting input levels, as digital audio will clip when overloaded. Clipping results in a
particularly harsh, metallic distortion, so unless you have a penchant for heavier
musical styles, overloading the inputs isn’t recommended (see “Understanding the Clip
Detector”
Cheers

How do I know if my image resolution is too low now that the yellow triangle warning is gone?

I am creating a book in iPhoto 11 for the first time. In older versions, I would get a yellow triangle indicating my image quality was too low for that size image. Based on other threads, it looks like iPhoto no longer gives the warning. What is the best way to know if the image will print okay? Is there a workaround so I can check the quality of the image prior to printing out the book?

I noticed that there's not resolution waring also. Create a PDF file of the book and look at the pages at full sized with Preview and determine if the photos are sharp enough for you.
I ran a test with two images, one 4000 x 3000 pixels and the other 230 x 200 pixels in a 2 photo per page book page and then created a pdf of the book, Modern Lines theme. This is a screenshot of the page in Preview at View ➙ View Full Sized:
This screenshot is of the same photo in a different 2 photo per page layout in the same theme. It does look more like I expected:
Right click on the image and select Show in New Window from the Contextual menu. I'm really surprised the first example of the small image looked as good as it did. I expected a very pixelated image like the second example but iPhoto upsized it rather nicely. So iPhoto can upsize a small photo to some degree but I don't recommend relying on it for such small images. And it is a very, very, very small image. Soif your image is reasonably large you should be OK. But check it in the PDF file.
