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?

How can I stop QuickTime from streaming all internet videos?

HI
When I updated my ITunes all the media file associations were changed to QuickTime. I want the Windows Media Player to keep the associations.
What I did so far is:
I have disabled all associations in QuickTime player options (except .mov) and turned on all associations in Win Media Player (which I prefer for streaming internet videos) however QuickTime still opens all onling videos. How can I change that. Is uninstalling QT the only solution to this problem?

Changing the the file associations from within QT and WMP settings may not be enough if there are current files on the hard drive that have been previously associated with that media player.
Try right clicking on one of those files, Where it shows; Opens With: click on the Change button, and choose what media player to handle it

Does streaming a video have big consequences for my limited data internet?

Hello everybody,
I was asking myself if I stream a video of let's say 350 megabytes to my apple TV,
will I have uploaded 350 megabytes or do I stream some kind of compressed version of the video?
I'm asking this question because I don't have unlimited internet limit, only 100 gigabyte a month
Many thanks in advance!

The video is already compressed. If it were not, an average movie would be many GB.
If you stream 350 MB, then 350 MB accrues toward your monthly limit. Your ISP probably has a way for you to determine how much you use from month to month, so that you can see if you are approaching the limit.

I subscribe to Acorn TV. I am unable to stream their videos. I have no problem with Hulu, iTunes, Netflix. I have spoken with Acorn and have tried Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but nothing works. I am using a MacBook OS 10.6.8 and Firefox 3.6.12

I am a premium subscriber to AcornTV. I have been unable to stream video on my home MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8) using Firefox 3.6.12. I can easily stream Hulu, iTunes, Netflix, etc, but NOT AcornTV. I have tried the AcornTV player on Safari, Chrome and Firefox, nothing works. I use Time Warner High Speed internet at home, and they claim the problem is on Acorn's end, which Acorn denies. The biggest frustration is that I CAN stream Acorn videos on my office iMac desktop, using the same OS and same version of Firefox (we have our own server at work, though).

I'm watching it right now on Firexfox, but it's on a Dell, not a Mac. Have you tired watching it on a Chrome or IE browser instead of Firefox? And does it work on those browsers?
You should continue to follow up with Acorn TV - email [email protected] and you will get help, from the CTO, if necessary. Also, they now have a diagnostic page built that can analyze your computer and it will give them more information about your system. So, if you haven't tried in two months, it might be worth trying again.

Streaming youtube video from my macbook to Apple TV?

Hello ...
Can I stream youtube video from my macbook pro (OS X 10.9.2) to Apple TV? with same HD quality, similar to iPad and iPhone.
The built-in AirPlay feature is not satisfactory and gives poor video quality.
There might be some kind of plugins for Safari or Firefox than allow to switch to Apple TV, but I couldn't find any.
Please help.
Thanks.

Thanks Rudegar ...
Yes! my hardware support AirPlay Mirroring but it doiesn't stream HD quality with no lagging
I just want something exactly similar to what happens in an ipad/iphone, just one click and the stream would be diverted from my macbook to the apple TV directly from the my internet modem
Is there such way !!??

Insufficient bandwidth to stream HD video

When using Amazon Prime to stream HD video content, I now receive a recommendation that suggests watching my HD content in SD due to INSUFFICIENT BANDWIDTH. Is this a fault of the AppleTV I own (2nd generation), my Airport Extreme router, my Motorola SB6120 cable modem, or my Comcast Professional Tier internet service. I've read that Comcast and others may be the source of this problem related to Netflix, Amazon, and other content providers. I need to know what to do to correct the problem, if there is a solution.

Check speedtest.net to see what your current connection is. Check that against the plan you're paying for. Is it the same, or close? Note: HD streaming needs at least 6mbps.

How to stream external video thru iTunes?

Hey Apple community!
So I've got a bit of a question. Is there a way to stream an internet video (such as from youtube) thru iTunes onto my computer? What I'm saying, for example, is I wanna watch a video on YouTube, but I wanna watch it in an iTunes movie window. The reason being that I absolutely love the fact that iTunes allows you to play your movies and what-not over every other window on the screen if you want. I use this feature every day as I use my computer for video editing purposes (among others) but oftentimes I have to look up a tutorial video on how to do something. It would be immensly helpful if I could keep the tutorial video over my other windows (thru iTunes, unless theres another way to do this) so it's easier to follow along.
Thanks for the help!

Maybe try a YouTube downloader.. no way to stream that I know of.

Need help - chronic freezeups when playing streaming flashplayer videos.:

I am having a chronic problem with repeated freezeups of flashplayer videos that are being streamed online where the video repeatedly and randomly locks up for a moment, and then jumps forward to catch up to where it's supposed to be again and again, with no regularity or pattern to it at all. It doesn't matter which video it is; it doesn't matter where along a video's playback it is; it doesn't matter which website it is. This problem happens at any time of day, and every single day, at random, regardless. I've tried everything including reinstalling my Windows 8.1 64-bit operating system from scratch, and then trying streaming flashplayer videos before reinstalling any other software again first - no help. I tried streaming in Safe Mode; disabling all browser addons; disabling all startup executables; disabling my internet protection software entirely, each in turn - no help. I always keep Flashplayer, Shockwave player, and Adobe Reader up to date, along with the rest of my PC via Microsoft Windows Update, and any other updates that apply, but I even tried older versions of drivers as well as the very newest ones - no help. I tried streaming using different video cards - no help. I tried using an ethernet connection and then a wireless one, separately in turn, as well as connecting to a different network - no help. I also have Mozilla's Firefox browser installed and fully up to date - the exact same random, constant freezeup problem streaming flashplayer videos happens when using it as when using Internet Explorer. These freezeups act like the incoming internet stream's feed runs ahead of flashplayer's memory management (rendering?) of it, causing these momentary freezeups while flashplayer buffers, and then jumps forward to catch up again each time. Please contact me back and provide a corrected update(s) of flashplayer to download so as to play streaming flashplayer videos without this ongoing conflict. Please note that video files that are downloaded/installed on my hard drive do NOT have playback problems of any kind. This is only an online streaming problem with flashplayer. Thank you.

DW CS3 Streaming Quicktime Video

I put a Quickime video in a web page following the instructions. When it appears in a browser it loads first, 3 minutes , and then plays. How do I get it to stream when a visitor clicks on it?
<embed src="Audio_Board_Instruction.mov" width="600" height="475" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download" autoplay="false"></embed>
I do have an option to put the video in other formats.
Thank you as always.
Cheers! Phil

Well first off, you are probably not really "Streaming" the video (playing right as the data is being downloaded), but rather "Progressively downloading", meaning that the video file is FIRST being downloaded in the visitors Temporary Internet Files folder and then being played back from there.
Most video files will START the download process and then after just a few seconds of data being downloaded into the cache,.....the video will start to play while AT THE SAME TIME, the rest of the video is being downloaded into the buffer.
One of the many reasons that .mov video files never really caught on for Web delivery is the problem with the MOOV Atom... or the index file that tells the video player how large the file is, so the video file can figure out how much/when the file has loaded enough to start the video file playing. Unfortunately, many .mov files have this very important index file at the very end of the video file.... so the entire file has to download before it knows to start to play....
so just SWITCH that index file to the beginning of the file like most other Web friendly formats do. Check out:

Creating a Dynamic Playlist for Streaming Flash Video

Hello,
I have been trying the tutorial given by Lisa Larson in order
to create a dynamic playlist for streaming Flash video files. I
have realized some of the FLV files that I have downloaded from
internet don’t show in the thumbPlayList and cannot be
played. But once I convert them back to WMV and the use the Flash 8
Video Decoder to convert them to FLV file everything works fine.
Any idea or suggestion why there is such a problem?
Thank you for your advice.

Wifi access point not allow to stream a video between two machnies in LAN

Does some one ever encountered problem like this?
I have a wifi accesspoint runs on my computer . And my computer is in a local area network(10.16.71.26). And I am streaming a video over rtp using JMF from another computer (10.16.71.27). This works fine when the wifi access point in my local machine is disabled. When it is enabled the video streaming not works.
I have tried with many forums but still didn't manage to find an answer. So please be kind enough to put some light on this problem or at least direct me to a place where I can find the answer. Hope at least some of u have faced a problem like this.
Thank You
these are my network configs, do not know whether this helps to make a suggestion

Allowed wifi connection to access internet through LAN connection. I am streaming the video from ip 10.16.71.27Edited by: deshan on Jul 29, 2009 12:54 AM

You'd probably get better help with this issue on the networking forum...
Can you ping the other computer via it's 10.x IP when the wifi AP is on?

HT201301 viewing and recording internet videos ???? How do I use the ipad air as a PVR ????

How do I use the ipad air as a PVR to record and later view internet videos.
I want to watch the canadian version at cbc.ca/sochi which is streamed in real time at least 10 hours later during daylight hours here not in the 10 hour shift in Russian time. The events tend to occur in the middle of our night and I want to watch in our daylight hours.
Yes the events are rebroadcast later but I expect they will be general and not specifically covering Canadian competitor. Commentary etc will be different.

You don't.

How to stream audio / video in java?

Hello.
I would live to develop a java application (JavaEE, with tomcat or JBoss) that could stream audio / video over the Internet, on a controlled matter.
First, I would have to embed a flash player, correct? Need suggestions on one, paied or free.
My questions are: How can I have the flash player stream audio to users by downloading it from a java app server, if the user has a session and is logged in, etc? (picture myspace here)
Also, how do I measure network traffic in Java? (The flash player of each user will stream the songs, I'd like to know how much bandwith is going around).
The reason that I'm asking this here is because I have no idea of which forum to ask this.
I have been a Java app developper for the past five years, so coding won't be a problem, I just don't know which API / Frameworks to turn to.
Thanks for all your help.
Regard,
Carlos.

My questions are: How can I have the flash player stream audio to users by downloading it from a java app server, if the user has a session and is logged in, etc? (picture myspace here)The same way you would authenticate any website. Usually a database and a challenge/response. If they're not logged in, then instead of writing out the content, write out a 403 status code (or do something more graceful, such as redirect them to the login page).
Also, how do I measure network traffic in Java? (The flash player of each user will stream the songs, I'd like to know how much bandwith is going around).Just keep track of how much data you send to the OutputStream.

Apple TV freezes on screenlock when streaming Internet TV via iPhone 4. Difference in IOS5 vs IOS6?

Hello everybody!
I have an iPhone 4, upgraded to IOS 6.0.1 and a newly bought Apple TV with upgraded software. My iPhone 4 worksperfectly with the Apple TV with one exception: Streaming of Internet TV to Apple TV freezes when the iPhone is Auto-locked. As my iPhone is configured for business use, it is not possible to configure it to disable auto-lock, and as the longest auto-lock time is 5 minutes, watching TV is pretty annoying ....
The strange thing, however, is that a friend of mine also has an iPhone 4, assumingly with the same business configuration, where the streaming of Internet TV continues (video and sound) also after the iPhone goes into auto-lock. In addition, he strongly claims that streaming Internet TV does not affect the battery consumption of the iPhone at all, indicating that the streaming does not physically goes through the iPhone, but directly from the router of the network to which the iPhone is connected (i.e. the streaming is only initiated by the iPhone, not relayed).
Does this make any sense to you? Is this an IOS 5 vs. IOS 6 issue? How do I get uninterrupted Internet TV streaming from my iPhone? If relevant, I have a DLink DIR-655 router.
In advance, thanks for all help.

OK. I turned all devices off, including router, then turned everything back on. I also did a RESET and a RESTORE on my Apple TV, but still have the same problem. I put my MacBook Pro right next to my Apple TV, and iStumber indicates I have a good wifi signal. Any suggestions on what to check next? Thx
