Streaming Video Usually Fails

Using latest Safari, many TV station websites offering live video, simply do not run videos. Sometimes there is an error msg re "tmp file"; sometimes not. Often, msg states that the video stream does not support Safari, but if I change how I open that page to IE or whatever, via Safari Extender, these still do not work.
Which plugins handle streaming video (QT or WMP), and what are their appropriate MIME types?
Often, trying under IE, the streams do not. Any ideas?

Can you hit this page to verify QT is properly installed.

I'm getting an error message in both Safari and Firefox. Since it's a plug-in issue, changing how the browser shakes hands with the web page (Safari Enhancer) would not make a difference.
Only IE 5.2 works for me with the site you specified.
Basically these folks are not making content for Mac users. They've chosen to develop for the larger segment of the technology market and to **** with us.
If you are not able to view content in IE 5.2 you might want to redownload the app and reinstall. I believe the Activex plug-in is a default install on that browser.

My Macbook turns off randomly after being on for a while and usually occurs when streaming video on netflix or something. I think it is overheating. Any thoughts?

Streaming video locks system

My system locks (loops) when streaming video services through Safari.
Nothing corrects the problem other than powering down and restarting system.
The problem is very unpredictable and may not occur for days.
I have a 2009 vintage top of the range 24" iMac with Yosemite (problem has occurred with previous versions of OS X).
3.06 Ghz Processor Core 2 Duo processor with 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR of memory and NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512 MB Video
Is this problem hardware or software?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be a series of messages in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
[Process completed]
The messages won't be spaced equally apart in time, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it. Then go to the next step.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Streaming, video playback

I have a problem that seems to be rampant and with few answers but let me try again. Windows media player has stopped playing streams for Comedy Central and other web sites. I can't stream Google video. Radio stations won't stream from their sites. Videos that friends e-mail (in windows media ) have no sound. Can't stream CNN. This seems to be the problem. It has been going on for at least a month now. It might include QT- I don't really understand who and what streaming involves-otherwise QT is OK.
I did the usual - even tried the flip4mac (which caused big problems about 6 months ago, when I installed it the 1st time; with graphics and more. Of coarse they said it wasn't true but I read plenty of other users with the same gripes.I did get it stable again finally.) A couple months ago these latest issues started. Not including the Intel issue and Flip4mac - this problem seems to be common but not quite ubiquitous in the mac world. And I have yet to read on how to fix it. I am an old and faithful apple person but this is really getting personal. Figuring it was worth it I have tried flip4mac again to no avail. I tried many things and of coarse it didn't work and also as usual after uninstalling it the thing still tries to open streams- at least the WEb site interface looks like QT and usually I used to get a codec error that doesn't appear. I still think it is a dangerous program.
But my questions are
1. What programs should I have installed on my computer to stream video and audio?(on the non-QT sites i mean)
2. Is there a way to avoid Flip4mac which seems to be very dissagreeable to my machine?
3. Should I just start trying to give up the simple pleasures or buy a $300 laptop from dell to have for what 92% of the rest of the world already is enjoying? Seriously.
4. Short of that are the answer(s) posted on the Flip4Mac website???
Please don't take offense apple geeks- but somehow you guys are never affected with this melee. Streaming was at the heart of MS's argument with the Justice department and it looks like I am the looser.

Hi, John.
1. Many sites use Real Media streaming format. Download the free RealPlayer for Mac OS X. Click the "RealPlayer - Free" button on that page and follow the prompts.
A number of sites are using Flash-based movies, so having Flash Player installed will help with those streams.
2. WMP is dead. Microsoft (MS) has endorsed Flip4Mac as the replacement for WMP on the Mac. AFAIK, your only other option at this point is to try Popwire WMV-9 Component. I've not used it, but have heard good reviews and feedback. That may also help with WMV files you receive by e-mail.
Both Flip4Mac and Popwire won't play content protected with the Windows DRM (WMA-DRM). MS is determined to restrict content protected with Windows DRM to the Windows platform, DoJ and EU suits notwithstanding.
3. Frankly, if a site isn't distributing streaming media in a platform-independent format that works on the Mac, like Real Media, then I'm disinterested in their content. The few sites in whose streams I'm interested, e.g. C-SPAN, NASA TV, etc. are Mac-friendly.
Unfortunately, the Mac is still just five percent of the personal computer market, so sites tend to design with Windows users in mind. If the sites also use MS development tools, it exacerbates the problem as those tools use proprietary extensions to Web standards that only work in IE on Windows. This is why some sites, e.g. e-banking, often only work with IE or on Windows with IE.
If a site expects their streams to be played on a PC running Windows, and you can't get either Flip4Mac or Popwire to handle it, then you're out of luck. I would not hesitate to complain to the site since they are losing audience by failing to distribute content in a platform-independent format.
4. Beats me. If you're not finding the answers there, you should contact the Flip4Mac folks.
5. You wrote: "Please don't take offense apple geeks- but somehow you guys are never affected with this melee."None taken. I simply don't care that much about streaming media: if it doesn't play in QuickTime, Flash, or RealPlayer, I go elsewhere. There are also a variety of Internet-based radio stations that stream in either Real format or are available in iTunes.
Good luck!

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.

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.

Streaming Video in IE for mac quicktime

I am trying to watch live streaming video of sports (sent only for IE) on MacBook platform using Mav version of Quicktime. I also have downloaded Flip4Mac (Free) to covert video to play on MacBook desktop using Quicktime. When tried I get the message "backgroundimage failed"
When I play smple clips of Quicktime and Mediaplayer, they play OK.
The sample clip of the website I am trying is:
http://willow.tv/EventMgmt/UserMgmt/Packages.asp?eid=102&dclip=false
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
B.

That is exactly the problem. That site tansmits for IE browser.
However, I was told that Flip4Mac is supposed to convert WMV files in to Quicktime
files so that the streaming video can be played on Mac platform.
How can make them work together?
Thanks.

Streaming videos from Cloudfront in Captivate 6

Hi,
I'm really hoping someone out there can explain this to me in as simple a way as possible.
I have a large project with 10 video files at various points throughout the course. I've run some tests with the videos set to progressively download, but they're not buffering very well. The video will pause to download (as expected), but as soon as it plays again it skips ahead to a later point in the video. The longest video is 2 minutes and I've managed to keep the file sizes around 10 to 20MB.
Since the progressive download route is failing dismally, I'm trying to set the videos up for streaming. We already use Amazon S3 and I have now enable Cloudfront as well. I've set up a dedicated bucket on S3 with some video files in it and edited the ACL accordingly (everyone can "read" the contents). Then I've created a distribution on Cloudfront.
The setup in Captivate for a video looks like this:
Video Type: Streaming Video
URI: rtmp://xxxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net/cfx/st
Stream Name: mp4:Video 1.f4v
Autoplay = Yes
Auto Rewind = Yes
I've tried using an mp4 video. I've followed the workaround instructions here: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2011/03/workaround-for-video-streaming-issues-in-captivat e.html. And, I've tried a few variations. Nothing has worked yet. If anybody has managed to work with Cloudfront and Cp6 and can provide step by step instructions for making it work, I'd really appreciate it if you could share your wisdom.
I wouldn't be surpirsed if I'm missing something obvious - e.g. I'm previewing in a browser (pushing f12 in Captivate) - should that work or should i be publishing and running the course from a server in order for the videos to show up?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rod and Anjaneai,
I've tested the video again as an mp4 with all lower case and no spaces (just underscores) and still had no luck. I tried three Stream name variations: video_1 / video_1.mp4 / mp4:video_1
If the setup that I had above for the video type and URI is right, then maybe the problem lies on the Cloudfront side. Here's what I did there...
In S3, I created a new bucket at the top level as xyz-abc and put the video_1.mp4 in there. I edited the ACL to make the folder and sub-folders readable to everbody.
In Cloudfront, I then created a Streaming (not download) distribution and pointed it at xyz-abc.s3.amazonaws.com
The distribution is Enable and Deployed.
From there I added the video to my Cp 6 slide as an event video "already deployed to a server..." and put the following in to the URL field rtmp://xxxxxx.cloudfront.net/cfx/st and hit OK.
The Video is inserted with the following message: "Failed to load the video file. The file path or the URL may be invalid." I just said yes and fixed up the URI and so on under the video properties to match the setup in my original post (with the appropriate variations for the mp4 video instaed of f4v).
I tried to use the detect size feature, but that gives the same Invalid URL message.
I haven't once managed to import the video without seeing the error message, so that probably has a lot to do with why it's not working.
Please could you see if you can spot where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
Paul

Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.
So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.
ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...
Can you get instructions from the vendor? Does these posts seem relevant:

Poor quality streaming videos

I've noticed that my imac can't handle or should I say doesn't have the same quality streaming playback as my PC. I thought mac's were meant to handle media, graphics, video's & such. I'm presently running with what came with my OS which is Quicktime 7 & I downloaded the newest version of media player but the picture quality on both are very poor with visible pixels & frequent stalling & pausing. Can anyone suggest a program out there or maybe I've got something setup wrong.

Quicktime 7 & I downloaded the newest version of media player but the picture quality on both are very poor with visible pixels & frequent stalling & pausing.
Poor quality video is usually the result of low resolution media files being streamed to you, If you play any of the movie trailers on the Quicktime site, for example, you can see the high quality of streaming video that is possible in Quicktime.
I cannot recall visiting any sites recently that have high quality feeds for Windows Media Player. Many of the WMP feeds I have seen look fine if you keep the player window on the small side, but rapidly disintigrate as you enlarge the window. I have to admit I have not looked for sites with WMP content, so what I have seen is just that which I have come across.

Streaming video and radio

Do you think it will ever be possible to view streaming video? Such as, on ABC.com and so forth. Yes,I know you can buy episodes of favorite shows from iTunes, but that is usually last season and current stuff is available on the web. It seems that some of the things I want to do as mobile, such as NASCAR Raceview, etc are available on other types of ATT phones but not the iPhone and it is supposed to be so cool.
I do love my iPhone, I would just like to be able to do more with it.

gsc,
Separating categories is not going to be possible for the current version of the IronPort URL filter. In 6.3, we are releasing a new category engine that may have some more flexibility in this area.
Let's revisit this inquiry when 6.3 is available. It is currently in early beta.

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.

Watch streaming video in konqueror

Is it possible to play streaming video (for example the trailers from apple.com) within konqueror? I tried installing mplayer-plugin and kaffeine, but neither of them were able to do the trick? Has anyone been able to get this working? Thanks in advance

http://www.apple.com/trailers
I didn't try real, because I never watch them anyway, but they do work. Quicktime and wmv stll don't. When I try to watch a wmv I get an embedded kmplayer windows, but the status bar says 'stopped playing' and I can't convince it to say sth else.
Basically same story with quicktime movies
i tried this trailers and they work (thanx, now my computer is a movie station ... it is laggy because of my bad connection, but very cool)
make sure, you are using the mplayer-part of the kmplayer ... the thing is: per default, it tries to play movies with xine-engine and fails!!! you need to switch this in the settings of kmplayer to use default mplayer as engine, then it works fine
by the way: are there some whole movies on the internet? (of course open like free like gratis and non-paying nothing ;-) ... i had a look at creative commons, but there are only some short or/and old american movies there ... mostly propaganda and politics stuff ... i'm searching for something like shoutcast for video (shoutcast is for radio stations from the internet))

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 (?)
