Streaming Video Lag

Hi,
I have iTunes 11 and I'm trying to watch the iTunes Festival. As soon as I Full Screen about a minuite later once the quality improved the video updates 1 frame per second, the lag is unwatchable although the sound stays fine. I tried it on my laptop and different internet connection and the same happens. Any ideas
Thanks

Is it normal streaming video lagged through AirPlay?

I just got new iPad and new AppleTV, I played streaming video on my iPad, (which is an app using wi-fi bandwith), I also turn on AirPlay on iPad and mirror to TV through AppleTV2. The router is AirPort, I believe the mirroring also use wi fi bandwith, the result is that the video is lagged so much and can't even watch.
However, if I use AV cable connect directly from iPad to TV, the streaming video is normal, play perfect, so is it case normal? I don't know if streaming and mirroring use the double bandwith to cause the problem, any advice??
Thanks

Mirroring always works fine for me, your network may have a problem such as interference.
Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Streaming video lags while Audio continues normally when switching tabs

It only happens if I go from a streaming video tab to another tab or browser screen/software etc. anything that switches the main view of my screen from the video and back will cause this problem.
it will play fine at first, but once I look at facebook or bring up itunes etc, and switch back (usually doesnt occur right away, but once the video is a minute or two in it will 100%) the video will start to lag horribly and will never get back on track. the play buttons on youtube/netflix even stay as pause buttons even though I can click play and pause back and forth functionally, and the audio will never skip a beat, but the video will stop dead, lag a few frames and stop dead again and will never correct unless I refresh the page. I can't recreate this in chrome, I've cleared my history and caches, upped the storage size on the main cache and tried updating various things like flash and firefox (19.0) but nothing is solving it!

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later (?)

IPad streaming video lags when any bluetooth speakers or headset used

Cannot even watch a Netflix movie or YouTube with any bluetooth device or the streaming video will begin to lag and buffer. iPad also lags with streaming music, like Pandora. As soon as I turn off bluetooth, everything works fine. Why??? I heard it's because bluetooth and Wi-Fi share a antenna which causes a signifcant decrease in performance. That the same chip is used to decode both signals. So when both bluetooth and Wi-Fi are being used at the same time the process slows down for both signals. Is this true???

I'm in the same boat, I thought it was because I have a ipad 2. It's since the ios 7 update. Although tonight there was a 7.3 update so you never know they might have fixed it.

Choppy streaming video lag

Despite what browser I use, I am getting choppy streaming video - this has never been a problem.
Can not figure it out to save my life right now. I do have the latest software update and flash,
any help?

Noticeable lag when using drawing tablet, streaming video, and simple games

Hi, I'm using a Toshiba Satellite Laptop model A335D-S69221. There is a noticeable lag when using my drawing tablet, streaming videos (such as youtube), and games that are not "fast" such as This War of Mine and Don't Starve. All drivers and the system is newly wiped and up to date. When visiting web pages if there are embedded videos it causes a whole system lag until it either asks me to stop script or I close the page. Colors and graphics look just fine. No problem playing fully downloaded videos. The programs themselves work just fine and the lag only happens with the above mentioned activities. Not a virus.
Is this an issue that can be solved by increasing the RAM from 4GB to 6GB or 8GB? Or is it an issue with the graphics card? I suspect RAM but don't want to shell money on the wrong thing. Most of the programs say 4GB is required but it almost seems bare minimum. Is my laptop even worth upgrading?
Unfortunately it takes away my ability to draw and makes gaming progress annoyingly slow. Once the lagging action is complete it works ok but just repeats.
Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor: AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core RM-72 210 GHz
ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics

this is my personal opinion as a guy who had more than 5 pcs, 4 gaming laptops and other mac books for work in the past.
I believe it is slightly an older model of Toshiba you are using, your drawing tablet relies on your Ram but not as much as it relies on your GPU which would be the graphics card processor. So none of those upgrades will give you a significant change on things you want to do.
I would rather suggest you a newer model for the things you do with your budget than getting rams for your computer. Both of you are processor and graphics card.
If you want to upgrade, Ram is your cheapest option, but check out the slots, usually they have 2 slots, and 2 x 2GB on them, so if you buy a 4GB , you get 6. DDR II is kinda out of date with current programs and software, keep that in consideration aswell.
I do not think any upgrade you spend money on will give you the speed you want to feel.

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.

Can I stream video from my mac to apple tv the same way my ipad or ipod does?

I just got my AppleTV hoping to stream video to it from my iMac. I'm seeing this is possible with mirroring, but there was a ton of lag between the computer and tv, and the sound and video would skip horribly. I plugged the ATV into our ethernet and that has helped tremendously, but there is still some visual lag and skipping going on with the video, noticable enough to drive me crazy when watching something like a movie.
However, I noticed that when I stream the same video to ATV with my iPad, it uses a method other than mirroring; the video is greyed out on the iPad with the ATV symbol on it and sends the video to the tv instead, and it plays seamlessly! I wish I could say this is the solution to my own problem, but most videos I wish to watch are in a flash format, which does not work on iPad and I would therefore need to use my iMac instead.
So, leading back to the title now, is it possible to stream a video on the iMac without using mirroring, such as how ever it is the iPad and iPod are able to do it?
My iMac is the newest model currently out I believe. 27", i7 intel processor. The AppleTV is also the newest generation I believe. I just got both barely two weeks ago from the store here.
Any help is appreciated, let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks!

I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
As Keithjammer indicates, the TV2 does not "mirror" your screen as the platform's video interface does. Instead, the TV2 device is a wired/wireless remote multimedia player. As such, it only plays files in a compatible compression format. To do what you want it to do would require your platform to first compress the screen audio/video data to a compatible format and then stream it to the device in real time.
I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
Yes, only files can be streamed. You can, of course, capture your screen audio and video data to a compatible file and then stream the file to the TV2 device.
...except from both London Drugs (where I purchased it) and Best Buy (where I double checked).

Windows 7 and Apple TV- can't stream video

Hi:
I can't stream video from itunes on a Windows 7 pc, to Apple TV (3rd generation). The ATV is only a week old but has been replaced with no luck. When I try to stream video, an error message pops up: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device Apple TV. The network connection timed out".
- the ATV is not the issue as it was replaced
- I can stream audio and photos from itunes, but can't stream video (which is in the proper format for ATV)
- I installed itunes on an old xp machine and video streaming works!
- both the xp machine and the Win 7 machine are on the same network, so the router must be ok
- all firmware and software is up to date and everything has been rebooted (several times)
- the error happens no matter if it is a wireless or wired connection
Since XP can successfully stream video and is on the same home network as Win 7 and we know that both the ATV and the router are working properly, it seems to me that there must be an issue in my Win 7 config. Does anyone have suggestions??? Thanks!

This is what is happening:
With an iTunes playlists of about 13,000 songs, one song will start playing (with a huge lag before the cover art appears); when the first song is finished, a second will start with the cover art for the first song still on screen. Eventually the screen goes to black, the time bar for the seconf song will pop up and after a few beats the art for both and first AND second song appear on screen together. A moment later, the audio cuts out, the screen goes to black againand eventially the AppleTV homescreen pops up. I've tried the fixes I've read about on this board; restarting everything (AppleTV, MacBook, etc), closing and reopening Home Sharing on the all the devices, doing a restore on the Apple TV, etc. Everything worked fine until I installed the update.

Choppy streaming video

Whenever I try to stream online video, such as from youtube, I get extremely choppy video content. The audio usually works fine, but the video will lag a few seconds each frame and skip quite a bit. I know that it is not my internet connection, as I have tried streaming the same video's on different computers on the same network (with no problem), as well as tried my macbook on different networks (with the same problem). I have seen this similar issue in different threads with no clear-cut resolution (and I have tried many of the suggestions from those threads).
My issue started about three weeks ago completely randomly. Since then, I have tried a few things to fix the issue. I have tried different browsers (firefox, chrome, safari) as well as made sure my adobe flash was updated. I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion (was going to anyways, but hoping to fix this issue gave me the final push). I have repaired my disk through Utilities and also run cleanups through Onyx. My computer runs completely fine at all other times, but as soon as I try to stream video, the video becomes choppy and my computer becomes as slow as molasses. Through activity monitor, I have noticed that while streaming (and shortly after) my computer goes to about 0% CPU Idle, with most of the CPU power going something called kernel task, which will run between 100-150 % CPU when the lagginess occurs.
Are there any suggestions at all?
My specs are:
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Mac OS X 10.7.2

Through activity monitor, I have noticed that while streaming (and shortly after) my computer goes to about 0% CPU Idle, with most of the CPU power going something called kernel task, which will run between 100-150 % CPU when the lagginess occurs.
Do you have Activity Monitor set to show"All Processes" instead of its default of "My Processes?" If not, that leaves the "usual suspects" well under the radar. The "Show"option is in the toolbar of the AM window--this image is from 10.6--might be slightly different in Lion:
The other items re using AM to find a culprit are:
1) Use the computer normally for a while before checking AM's status. Items that tend to clog teh system may not show right after a restart.
2) Close all user applications so the computer is basically "at idle."
3) Highlight the "%CPU" column to bubble the worst offenders to the top.
I also like to quit any Dashboard widgets before this test to eliminate clutter; widgets that have to "phone home" can skew the results. To save having to restart the computer to turn off active widgets, get the widget "DashQuit":
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/dashquit_berenguierduncan.html
Handy little rascal to have when troubleshooting. Once installed, the Dashquit widget is simply a button that turns off all open widgets.
If viewing YouTube via Safari, be aware that there are a lot of Safari extensions that might interfere. Try turning off extensions in Safari.
Let us know what you find.

Apple tv stream is lagging

I have a 2013 Macbook Air and Apple tv 3.
My wifi connection is 14mbit in both download and upload.
I have some troubles when using the Apple Tv to mirror my MB Air desktop onto my Samsung Tv. Mostly I am trying to stream somekind of show in a browser but there is always huge lags on the TV, and it is extremely annoying and therefor makes the Apple Tv worthless. I had the same issue when I had the apple tv a couple of years ago at my old apartment, so I sold it. But now I moved, got a new laptop and new internet conncetion, so I thought everything was good, but it isnt.
What can be the issue? Do I need to change to router, internet speed etc? My friend has the Airport Timecapsul and everything is running really smooth at his place when he is streaming something from his tv onto his TV, but the Timecapsul is way out of my money range.
If I need a new router, what kind would be the sure choice to get it working?
The picture is from Network Utilities.

Here is my analysis and test results:
Tested with following to find the root cause...
Test1:
1. Changed my router to Asus ac router (RT-87U) and getting excellent bandwidth. (50MBPS with ATT Uverse)
2. Connected Apple TV to 5GHZ channel from router.
3. Connected MacBook Pro (OSX Mavericks) to same channel on the router.
4. Switched Macbook Pro to Apple TV (Airplay display with Mirroring).
Result:
Observed lag during video streaming. Audio seems to be Ok though found few instances where there were breaks in audio signal.
Test2:
1. Connected iPhone 6 plus to again same channel on the router (5GHZ)
2. Switched streaming from iPhone to Apple TV
Result:
No logs observed and both Audio and Video streaming seems to be working OK.
Test3:
1. Switched to Macbook Pro (OSX Yosemite) and connected to Apple TV
2. Streaming video and audio test.
Result:
The video almost freezes for few mins and result is worst. Apple TV is unusable for video streaming with OSX Yosemite / Macbook pro.
notes:
1. Tested Netflix and Youtube directly from Apple TV and is working fine without any issues in HD mode.
2. Tested tv channels (ABC news) from Apple TV and no issues found using my network.
My Conclusion:
Apple TV / iPhone seems to be working fine.
Apple TV/Macbook pro doesn't work well with Video Streaming. (Periodic Lags in video signal)
The problem is not due to any issues with router or network but is clearly with streaming protocol between MacBook and Apple TV.
Clearly Apple needs to resolve this.
Hope this helps.

I have updated to iOS 8 and 8.0.2 and now can't watch, download or stream videos in certain apps; google chrome, BT Sport for example.

I have carried out all the updates and now can't watch or stream videos in a few apps, anyone else having dramas with iOS 8? WHAT GIVES APPLE???

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Streaming Video in Remote Panel

Desired Functionality: Our laboratory uses LabVIEW 2011 to make science instrumentation such as digital microscopes, spectrometers, etc., available to college students to do remote laboratory assignments. We need to be able to choose a live video stream from a number of cameras and display it on a VI front panel that is being served up by the LabVIEW web server. We also need allow the users to pan/tilt or zoom the camera using the VI. The purpose of this video stream is to allow remote users of the VI to see what is going on in the laboratory in real time. The video must have low latency and be reasonably high resolution so there is no lag in viewing what is happening as the users control instruments and equipment in the laboratory.
Current Solution: We use a DataVideo SE-800 video switcher to take in the feeds from up to 4 Sony EVI-D70 cameras. The switcher can be controlled through LabVIEW in order to allow selection of one of the video feeds. The selected video is sent to a MOXA V-Port 461 streaming appliance. When the VI is loaded in a browser by a user, a piece of code placed in the html file uses JAVA to layer the video stream from the MOXA over top of the front panel. A cartoon showing this physical connectivity is attached as “Current Connectivity.pdf” The limitations of this are that JAVA introduces some additional complexity and also is a potential security risk.
Desired Solution: We would like to display the live video feed directly in the Remote Panel, without having to layer it with an external application. The use of the video switcher and video streamer are not requirements, although it is nice to pull the video from an IP address and it gives us more control over the quality and frame rate of the video stream using the MOXA. Also, the Sony camera model we are currently using is not a requirement – any pan/tilt/zoom controllable camera will do just as well, but must be high resolution, as these cameras are. So, if there was a way to connect 1 to 4 cameras directly to the LabVIEW server and select a video feed from any one of them to display in the front panel of the VI, that would be fine.

Hi danbranan,
Have you attempted to write any code in LabVIEW for this yet? I've included a couple of links below that might help. One is a forum thread talking about how to stream video in a remote panel. The second is an overview of Remote Panels. Using Remote Panel may not be fast enough to get the quality that you want due to throughput limitations of Remote Panels.

Streamed video skips AFTER fully buffered

Hi All!
First I'm running Win XP SP3, IE8 and FlashPlayer 11 with a 4Mb ADSL connection.
When I stream video it starts fine while it is buffering, but as soon as the buffer is complete, the video begins to skip or jump, trying to keep up with the audio. The lag time increases as the file continues to play starting from a second at a time to 10 seconds and more depending on the length of the video.
It doesn't matter where the video comes from and oddly enough it doesn't happen all the time maybe 60 to 75%.
It doesn't matter if I let the video completely buffer before playing it, it just skips from the beginning.
I've tried reinstalling Flash11, which did not help, the happened with Flash 10 as well.
I don't have a buffering problem. Videos buffer fine, (OK when online traffic is high, buffer is slow, but this is not related to the skipping which only starts AFTER the video has finished buffering.
I've been scouring the internet for related issues and haven't found anything, so I'm posting this here.
I think there must be some setting on my system that's interfering somehow, but what that is I have no idea.
I hope someone out there does!
Thanks for listening,
Jane
