Streaming Video Not Working Properly

Starting yesterday, I noticed that anytime I attempt to view a video from YouTube or any other video streaming site, the videos only load to a certain point and stop. It doesn't seem to matter what website I'm at. The load bar loads to about an inch and then that's it. Help! Thanks!

Was this problem solved? I am experiencing the same issue, on my iMac G4 and it may have started with the QT update as well. Video used to work fine, now it is choppy and eventually hangs up while the audio continues normally. This happens during playback in iTunes, Quicktime, and Foto-Magico (slideshow program)

  • Why does streaming video not work?

    I have almost always had trouble streaming video....form Youtube and Netflix and other streams...and I don't know why! What needs to work better for streaming? Is a 3G hotspot connection not fast enough?? What do I need to do to make this seemingly simple operation run smooth?

    3G is a painfully slow cellular connection. You would be much better off with a high speed internet connection. Cable or DSL depending on what may be offered in your area.

  • FLV files set for streaming video not working

    Hi,
    I have been using Captivate 4 for some time using imported FLV and progressive download options. Playback is too slow, so I am trying to use a streaming service (Limelight Networks Flash Video Streaming Service). I took an existing Captivate project, uploaded the FLV file to the streaming service and select the following in Captivate under the Flash Video tab:
    Video type: Streaming video
    Server URI:  points to server, app, instance from provider (eg: rtmp://xxx.net/yyy/zzz...)
    Stream name: filename.flv
    I publish (htm and swf files are local, flv is on the streaming provider's machine) and try to playback. Captivate loads and after a time I get an error saying that a script is causing the flashplayer to run slowly (version 10). It then locks up (tested in IE, Firefox and Chrome). I've changed options in Captivate such as Flashplayer version (from 8-10) and buffer delay, to no avail. No video played. Previously the video played in the project as a progressive download.
    Help appreciated!

    Hi Ashwin,
    This still hasn't worked for us. We have been given a server name in this format: rtmp://server.name.net/ and an application name in the format app/name, which together form a url:   rtmp://server.name.net/app/name
    Then I have the move file in a subdirectory (/test) from this base url and finally the filename: myvideo.flv
    So putting it together I have tried in Captivate:
    Streaming
    field 1: rtmp://server.name.net/app/name
    field 2: /test/myvideo.flv
    or
    rtmp://server.name.net/app/name/test
    myvideo.flv
    or
    rtmp://server.name.net/app/name
    /test/myvideo
    and other combations of these three. I've eliminated the flv extension, tried with and without preceding (/) and trailing (/)  (eg: /test/... vs test/... or).
    None of these seem to work. I can play the flv directly using a client called WIMPY so I know the streaming service works. With that client I enter a fully qualified path such as: rtmp:/server.name.net/app/name/test/myvideo.flv  and it works flawlessly.
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • YouTube videos not working properly in Windows 8

    Hello - I have bought my first windows 8 computer today.
    One of the first things I did was install Mozilla Firefox and then Adobe Flash.
    To my horror, when I tried to load a YouTube video, one second of the video clip played, then the standard YouTube error message appears.
    I have checked that I have properly installed flash player, that my firewall settings are correct, and that i have the latest video drivers.
    Flash seems to work on everything besides YouTube and the Microsoft help forum (the submit button wouldn't work...) this is the same in Firefox and whichever version of IE I have installed on here
    Any help is greatly received!
    Thanks
    Sam

    Hello - at the time of writing the original post, I thought I had tried everything...
    It turns out, however that Mozilla Firefox does not give you the option to enable or disable activex. As I hate Internet Explorer with a passion, I completely forgot to try disabling activex in that browser until I was absolutely forced to, when I re-read the instructions on the page that you have linked me to... (however I did this before you posted it.)
    To cut a long story short, I ended up (after a solid four hours of trying different things) deleting my favourite browser (Firefox) and have now installed Google Chrome, which allows me to watch all the YouTube videos I desire... I'd just turned my computer on to remove this post when I saw that you had replied.
    I shall send the Mozilla Devs an email and let them know about this issue - hopefully it will get somewhere in future updates!
    Many thanks!

  • Video not working properly in Quicktime

    Ever since I updated to the most recent Quicktime, video files have not been playing properly in full screen mode. They work fine in the small window, but the video is jumpy in full screen, so it's more like watching a slide show than a video. I never had this problem before the update. I have already switched to Safe Mode, but that hasn't helped. Can someone help me?

    @ Lenny
    That's a symptom of sites doing "browser sniffing" of the User-Agent string.  IE11 is a modern browser and no longer looks like a new version of older versions of IE.  However, it can be made to emulate other browsers in various ways.  The simplest way is to use Compatibility View but then the site must accept requests from IE7 in Quirks mode.  Other ways involve using the Developer Tools, Emulation tab (F12, Ctrl-8) but that is just a temporary override which must be reapplied each time it is needed.  The best solution is for the site to start using modern practices.  Otherwise switch to another browser.

  • Photo streaming is not working properly

    I have an I phone & Ipad. Only part of the photos i take on the Iphone get uploaded in photostream, despite the fact that there are only 250 images in the stream. I took 4 photos yesterday, but only two have got uploaded. This happens all the time, and I do not understand why all photos taken together, do not show up. Tried restting in Icloud, still it does'nt work!

    I was wondering if this would effect anything
    Should not be a problem at all and should not effect Photo Stream.
    Try Resetting your Photo Stream

  • Video not working properly

    I tried installing all sorts of codecs, only to find that totem, and every other video/audio viewer was unable to play my file (it's avi). With totem I get a message saying Divx mp4 decoders are not install. In ffplay, mplayer, and vlc I get "illegal instruction".

    The repository of archlinux.fr contains an additional codec pack (codecs-all). Perhaps this could do the trick.

  • Ipad1 with 64 gb, video not working properly. Is it fixable?

    My very first iPad, I rec'd 5 yrs ago. It's a first generation and has 64 GB. I use it mostly to watch the videos - T V Shows & Movies I have downloaded on it. Today I watched a couple of short videos, then was going to watch a movie. It simply would not load. I tried with the "Video" icon and then by going to iTunes and choosing the movie I wanted. Sometimes it would not go to iTunes, it would revert back to the wallpaper. I never could get it to let me get to tech support to see if it was fixable. I am on another iPad at this time. I just love that little iPad and I love all of my movies and T V shows. This iPad I am using at present is only 16 GB so it will not support very many downloads. Help!!!

    DDid you try quitting all the apps and then reset your iPad? Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Tsp and hold on an app icon until they all start to jiggle and display a minus sign. Tap on the minus sign to close out or quit the app. Then reset your ipad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously, ignoring the Red Slide to Power Off. Keep holding until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Flash players not working properly

    hi there, since i have reinstalled my laptop, i am having
    problem watching online videos properly, its like sounds comes
    perfect, the video slows down and even stuck, cant watch whats
    going on in the video. Could you please guide me how to rectify
    this problem. The video streaming is not working properly as the
    sound streaming is fine. Our internet is fine as its been check on
    another Laptop and a Desktop Machine. Kindly reply me back asap.
    Many thanks.
    Regards,

    Hi Harvardbothun-
    I still don't know what "reinstalled my laptop means". Put it
    back on your lap? Humor...arr-arr.
    Anyway, you have Firefox with the latest FP10 plug-in. Have
    you verified this with the "Version Tester"
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    and checked the support pages at
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/
    I ask these questions not to be mean, but to verify your
    version and make you aware of the differences between IE FP
    (ActiveX) and FF FP (plug-in). Also... the version checker will act
    funky if you have 2 different FP versions installed, such as your
    XP's OE IE and your added FF. Look in Control Panel, Add/Remove
    Programs. Do you see a previous version of FP there? You may need
    to update your IE's FP as well, it could be conflicting with your
    FFFP.
    Another thing to check.... AVG8's Linkscanner has caused some
    issues, mostly by slowing down site-loading. To test this, turn
    off/diable that feature. Yes, it'll whine about it. (end of part 1)

  • "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".

    Turned my Dell running windows 7 off 2 days ago. Turned on today.  Launched ITunes and got message "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".
    All my albums are there but won't play.
    Deleted Itunes and reinstalled. Same as before.
    Any ideas ??

    Hey MrCurwen,
    I was able to find an article that included the same error message you're experiencing:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1371
    According to that article, if you see the error message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration," QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Please follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
    On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
    Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
    Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
    During the download:
    If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
    If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
    Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
    Reopen iTunes.
    Cheers,

  • The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

    The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • Flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits

    Hello,
    My flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits with Firfox and IE8 (lasts versions).
    My Flash player version : 10.0.45.2, but I tried with version 9 too, with same problems.
    I have tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall several times, ... witch did not worked.
    In fact, it works correctly on some sites, like youtube, but not on some others like :
    http://www.dailymotion.com/ => black screen instead of videos, right click gives flash context menu
    http://www.canalplus.fr/ => videos does not load, right click gives flash context menu
    http://www.myspace.com/ => no audio player, right click gives flash context menu
    some games in http://www.kongregate.com/ => black screen instead of games, right click gives flash context menu
    I have no problem with shockwave in http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
    No problem too with flash player on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    But in the Global Privacy Settings panel (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l), I cannot change any settings :
    I cannot check boxes,
    My changes are not saved.
    In most of flash animations, videos, ...,
    when I click on parameters, I cannot do anything, even closing.
    when I am in full screen mode, the message "press escape to exit...." does not disappear.
    Last thing, all those problems was not there when I was on Windows XP, few weeks ago, and appear with my registered Windows 7 premium familly edition, with the same hardware configuration...
    Thank you for your help
