Streaming video issues

Does anyone know why the imac stops streaming video every 10 seconds?

Steam's having issues? At least in my area, Steam has absolutely no problem. Double check what download region you're pulling from (pick it not based on geography but based on where your data is ending up. For example, Toronto is closer to me than New York City is, but NYC is closer path-wise than Toronto) and make sure you're not bottlenecking on Disk I/O now that Steam doesn't use Cache files for the games.
As for YouTube and Netflix, I have no advice short of suggesting a VPN for these. Yeah it shouldn't be needed, but in the grand scheme of things neither Google or Verizon tells us where the problem is publicly. When the problem is either at the peering point or in Google's network, I'm led to believe it's a Google problem. For Netflix? Verizon doesn't have to contribute to Open Connect (in essence remaining a NEUTRAL provider) but it would be nice to have since Netflix would be paying for the equipment. Can't say so much for the bandwidth though.

  • Live streaming video issues

    I look after a little old ladies PC in Australia from Canada.  She used to watch live video from a webcam in Canada looking at the snow & ice but now with a new HP PC she can't view the live feed... or to be more precise she can view it but the site won't load properly and displays a still image. 
    If the browser is refreshed the image updates but is a still image.
    We can see the time-stamp so we know there is a snapshot of the video being taken but it won't update with the live feed.
    I did read other posts about similar issues but can't seem to find an answer. 
    I have updated her Windows media player, uninstalled then re-installed both Flash & Shockwave to the latest versions but still the video won't play properly.
    She can watch other live streaming videos but there just seems to be an issue with this one in particular.
    I have tried the same webcam feed from other PCs in Canada and the UK with no issues. 
    She has an HP610-1010a Touchsmart with ATI Radeo HD5570 graphic card installed.
    Can anyone suggest something else I may be overlooking...?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I tested on 5 machines: 1 HP laptop, 2 Dell laptops, 1 Apple and 1 Surface. I think we NEED NBN, my connection speed is not very fast but still reasonable but the machines took ages to just go to the first one. The second one was a bit faster but ONLY refresh frame when hit F5.
    Regards.

  • Streaming video issue

    How much of my physical memory should be used when streaming video? I have 4.00 GB of physical memory an 3.96 GB are being used.

    Though we might guess, it would be good to have a bit of clarification.
    Was the video added as "Slide Video" or using the "Insert FLV" command?
    How did you set the Timing Property (Rest of Slide, Rest of Project, Rest of Video?)
    Might there be another object playing on the same slide that has a Transistion set to "Fade In and Out" or "Fade Out"? The Fade Out can halt subsequent objects on the timeline.
    Is it set to Autoplay or Loop?
    Was a particular "skin" applied?
    Sometimes the term "streaming video" is used loosely. Which method did you use?
    Progressive download via http:// (typical web server) delivery from a plain website
    Streaming Video (where you have your own streaming video server (such as Flash Media Server). Usually the URL starts with rtmp://
    Streaming Video Service (a third-party) service where you basically pay for someone to "host" the videos.
    Will this Captivate movie be delivered as a module by Adobe Connect Professional?
    Are you viewing the "real" published CP movie, or just previewing this locally?
    What is the video format (.FLV, F4V, .MP4?) How was it encoded?
    Sorry to be so inquisitive, but it may help us provide a better answer.

  • WRT54G version 3.0 Streaming Video Issue

    I have a WRT54G v3.0 wireless router that constantly drops connection when I try to stream video from the internet. If I eliminate the router and connect my laptop or desktop directly to my cable modem streaming video works perfect. Once I put the wireless router back into play and try to stream video I lose connection to the router. Normal internet use (e-mail, sports sites, etc.) work fine but as soon as I go to a site like youtube or espn and try to stream video the wireless connection drops. I have read numerous message boards that talk about firmware upgrades that will fix the problem but all of the message boards talk about WRT54G versions other than mine. Can anyone out there tell me why my WRT54G v3.0 router constantly drops connection when streaming video as well as tell me how to fix it?
    By the way I currently have firmware version 3.03.6 (Jan 6, 2005) installed

    I think the latest for v3 is firmware 4.21.1. Check out your model and version on http://www.linksys.com/download
    The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

  • WRT54GS v6 streaming video issue

    Recently, I bought the wrt54gs (version 6) wireless router and noticing that some people have problems with the firmware when it comes to streaming (such as the BEFW11S4 using the older firmware v1.50.14) I have installed the latest firmware v1.50.8.  I am still having trouble playing streaming video (it did not change a thing): it constantly buffers every 10 secs (which does not happen when the router is not connected).  Is there anything I can do to help with this situation?
    Message Edited by ruvion on 09-15-2006 04:07 PM

    Couple of things you can try . Ensure that the application you are using for streaming media has it;s ports open on the router...For the port numbers http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~rakerman/port-table.html
    Also on the setup page of the router,change the MTU value to be 1492 and see if this works for you.

  • Streamed video issues?

    I have a pretty new Ipad. So far there has been no issues but today all of a sudden streamed content from sites like Youtube and Youtoons.se started malfunctioning. The videos just won't play. Network connections are otherwise fine and the Safari browser has no problem reaching the sites or any other sites for that matter.
    Youtube states an error occurred and "TV noise" instead of the video, Youtoons just shows a black box where the videos should be playing.
    Any ideas?

  • Streaming video issues i.e BBC iplayer and Youtube with Firmware 3.1.2

    Hi I wonder if anyone can help me with a particular problem.I bitterly regret installing 3 as all it has done is added some shake and shuffle nonsense that I never use, and a voice memo thing that I never use. It has also slowed the boot up of the device and also where video streams from the above for example used to play without interruption, now i constantly have the device pause and have the play touch control come up, i press play and it will continue for a few seconds and then freeze again. It has got to the stage where using BBC iplayer and youtube has become frustrating and impossible and it only has started after version 3 firmware was installed. It is an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen bought in Jan this year. With version two the videos played consistently and smoothly. Why do I now have this problem and why do apple encouraged the use of update software that retards the performance of the device. What benefits does it have? Should I continue updating this device or can I ask apple to restore version 2 to the device which ran much better!

    It's not the 3.x software per se, it's how it is interacting with your wireless network. If you haven't done so, download and install the latest firmware for your router and make sure your network is providing the speed and stability you need. Solve that and your YouTube problems will be less.

  • MacBook (2006) HDTV Secondary Display Issue (no streaming video)

    I've searched the discussions as thoroughly as I could before posting. I do not have the same issues as many others connecting their Macs to HDTVs for primary or secondary display.
    I recently bought a Sony Bravia (KDL-32EX710) and displays the desktop beautifully at 1080p with just the Mini-DVI to VGA cable. However, the only thing it does not display, without a workaround, is streaming video from websites like YouTube, various Gawker media sites and similar sites. For example, going to YouTube loads the entire page with playlists, comments and the audio comes through but nothing but a black box where the video should be (controls are also hidden).
    To view videos, I have to drag the Safari window to the MacBook's display to start the video then move it back over to the secondary display to view it. Or, I have to enable the video to be viewed in fullscreen (usually by chance) to be able to see the video.
    Watching videos from the local/network drives are fine. Watching streaming videos from Netflix are fine (via Safari). Does this seem like a Flash issue as the problem videos seem to depend on Flash?

    It seems updating Flash (for Safari, Firefox and Chrome) did the trick.

  • Recently loaded Firefox Update 3.6.15,message appeared saying the file is corrupt. This appears to have impacted our proxy server and ability to stream video from BBC I-player? Has anyone else had this issue with 3.6.15, if so how did you resolve it?

    Received upgrade notification for Mozilla to 3.6.15 which we undertook. The computer after completing this activity now cannot stream video through our proxy provider from BBC I-player, even though we have ensured we have the latest Flash Plug-in. The system was working perfectly prior to this event. Even if we delete and re-download the update, the file loads and then when asked to run, "File Corrupt message appears. Please advise or provide solution if possible. Thanks

  • I have a m2007 macbook connected to my wireless network using time capsule.  I stream video to the macbook, but often get start stop of the streaming, but no wheel to indicate a buffering issue.  Can I resolve this with higher speed internet and cable mod

    I'm wondering if my cable internet is too slow for wireless streaming of videos to other macbooks.  Any help will be appreciated

    Can you clarify whether you are asking about video that you are streaming from the Internet to your Mac through the Time Capsule?
    Or, are you asking about streaming video that is already stored on the Time Capsule to your Mac?
    In either case, what happens....video quality wise..... if you test by temporarily turning off the wirelss on the Mac and then connecting it to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule using a spare Ethernet cable for a few hours?

  • Yoga 3 pro cant stream video on external display or laptop

    Saw a previous post on this, didnt seem like it was fixed.  Having real issues with hooking up to an external display, when the web browser (chrome) is extended to the external display, my internet lags hard...i cant even stream a vid on youtube.
    I've disabled realtek (fixed cracking speakers) tried a completely new cord set up from micro hdmi to dvi...nothing works.  When i drag the browser window back to the laptop screen, it works fine.
    Ok, 5 min follow up:  it seems im now having the similar issue with streaming video on my laptop screen....sound streams fine, the video seems to shake back and forth very quickly, runs, then shakes again...seems to only happen intermittenltly on the laptop...but display shows real lag and shake.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Have you tried changing the screen resolution on the Yoga to something lower than what it is set on? A 1080i screen has a resolution of 1,920 × 1,080, my Yoga 3 Pro has a default resolution of 3200 x 1800. I have not tried connecting my Y3P to the TV yet, but the conversion could be causing an issue.

  • IPad after update to 6.0.1 no longer stream video from my wireless Internet home monitoring camera. Help

    I have a wireless-n Internet home monitoring camera system that before i upgraded to 6.0.1 streamed video. Does anyone have the similar issue who has fixed it?

    I should mention that it no longer streams video. Duh.

  • My computer will no longer stream videos? The videos are choppy and show static?

    Hello! My macbook pro just recently stopped streaming videos from facebook, youtube, hulu, etc... The videos are choppy and show static. The sound play back is fine but the picture is definitely unclear. I was hoping that there was a simple solution to this as I have never had an issue with this computer before.
    Thanks,
    Charlotte

    Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
    Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

    RefinedVideo is a complete solution for incorporating video
    in Adobe Connect.
    THE PROBLEM
    ============
    If you currently use Presenter then you already know that it
    has some serious limitations when it comes to using video. Slide
    based video must be in SWF format encoded using the old Sorenson
    codec. That means your video files must completely load before they
    start playing. This leads to long wait times for users; want to
    play a 5 minute video? Expect a 2-3 wait time while the movie
    loads. Forget longer content like training videos.
    The video's dimensions are also limited as quality degrades
    quickly at large sizes.
    Adobe will tell you to put streaming flash video in the
    presenter panel but this area is tiny and still uses the old codec.
    You cannot pause, rewind and fast-forward the content and what
    about if your show runs without the presenter panel showing?
    If you update your presentation frequently, expect long wait
    times as the video files are embedded and must be uploaded to the
    server each time you make a change.
    THE SOLUTION
    =============
    RefinedVideo is a complete solution to these issues as it
    allows you to play high-quality video in fullscreen resolution with
    no waiting. Use streaming FLV format using On2 VP6 compression to
    provide higher quality at lower bandwidth with almost no wait times
    in most cases.

    Ahh, if only that were entirely true!
    While you're correct that you can embed flash in your
    Presenter files, it's still not possible to use the latest On2 VP6
    codecs which is what you need to do if you want high quality large
    size video files. Using the Sorenson codec which is what would be
    required by your suggestion, means that the video tends to be quite
    pixillated and limited to a small frame size, otherwise you end up
    with lots of buffering delays.
    Our solution allows you to run fullscreen video of unlimited
    length from within Presenter and it works in self-paced
    presentations and meeting room environments too.
    On the issue of posting information about a product on a
    Forum, my understanding of the concept of a forum is that it's a
    place for the exchange of ideas and solutions. This forum is
    located under the menu item of "Communities" on the Adobe site and
    many people come here looking for ways to solve problems and
    exchange ideas.
    I've had numerous people contact me saying they have been
    looking for exactly this type of solution but have been unable to
    find it. It's only spam to you because you have no need for the
    solution but to those looking for a way to deliver specific types
    of training content, it's exactly what they came to the Forum to
    find.
    It's not my intent to offend, only to raise awareness.
    Thanks for listening,
    Terry
