Suddenly I can't stream videos with Safari

Hi everyone,
Something weird is happening with Safari. For some reason I don't seem to be able to open videos in Safari, instead it will try to download them.
For example, I go to the Mac Video Tutorials, choose for example the Mac Basics section, and when I click on the Click To Play button, instead of playing it, it sends some small QuickTime file to Speed Download... I have tried to disable Speed Download in Safari, but it just keeps doing the same thing!
Anyone has any idea what might be the cause of this, and how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

Well, I guess it was my fault! In Speed Download's preferences, under types of files to be intercepted by its plugin in Safari, I had .mov selected, which was causing this to happen.
I simply turn that off and the problem went away
Problem solved.
Thanks anyway.

How can I stream video with Flash?

Hi guys!
I have a placeHolder MC in my main movie.
Within the placeHolder is an external swf containing an mpg
video.
How can I code the preloader of the external swf to stream
the mpg?
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
All the best,
Mark

if you mean stream as in streaming video, you need the
communication server.
if you mean preload the file, you can do so with various
components in flash.
loadMovie
Loader
MovieClipLoader
and more that escape my mind atm.

I updated my software and now, even though I installed an updated Flash player, I can't see videos with Safari. Help?

I updated my software and now I get the message blocked plug-in whenever I try to watch video in Safari. I installed the new Flash player but it still doesn't work. I've checked my plug-ins and uninstalled/reinstalled but nothing works. What can I do? Help

Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.
If you still get a ‘plug-ins blocked’ message:

Suddenly can't stream videos

Hi there,
I've suddenly become unable to stream videos (both in Chrome and Safari) from various websites. Youtube still works. I have a MacBook Pro Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.
I've checked everything I could think it might and it still hasn't worked! I'll list what i've tried and if anyone has any other idea, I would appreciate it!
- restart computer
- check for updates (Safari, Chrome, and Flash are all up to date)
- clear cookies and cache
Just let me know if you need more specific details! Any help would be great!

Please post a direct link to a page you're having trouble with, if possible. It must be open to anyone without a login.

Can't stream video from the web

My iPad cannot stream videos from Safari web sites except when I am in the same room as the modem and router. I am not talking about flash, I mean videos it should be able to stream.
I use an Arris modem from Comcast with a Time Machine in the same room. I have an Airport Express in another room to extend wireless coverage.
If I start a video in the "time machine room" it will load and I can then leave and the video will play. If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
I tried a test, streaming the same video to my iBook, my iPhone and my iPad - from a non "time machine room" in my house. No problem with the iBook or iPhone. The video played with no problems. No go with the iPad.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I am getting a strong Wi Fi signal.
Deanna

HI Deanna,
Try resetting the network settings on your iPad.
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
That will restore to factory default.
Restart your iPad, restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, try changing the Airport channel.
Select the device you’re setting up on the left and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, and restart your Mac.
Try streaming again.
If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
Also, check out the Airport Express online manual *page 41* for: *Items that can cause interference*

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.

Folks need some help- I love Mac and all the products but I am having a bit of an unpleasant experience with my apple tv 3. I have Iphone-4, Ipad 3rd gen, and Apple Tv 3rd gen. I want to use airplay to stream videos from safari or netflix- but! I get a message on my TV that states "Error occured while trying to play this video" And that is all I get. All three are on the same Wi-Fi network. Of note- my Ipad was able to stream for 30 seconds before the error message came up. After that nada.
Thank you in advance for your help

How can I stream video from a P/DVR to my Mac

Hi, How can I stream video from a Motorola dcx3400m P/DVR to my Mac? I have tried a Slingbox but the audio is out of sync witht the TV and it drives those watching on iPads or on the iMac in another room NUTS.
Is it possible to use a TV tuner of some sort. I've looked at the eye TV thing but I live in Canada/USA region and the eye TV products all seem to be for Austrailia or the UK. The one product that might work is a DVR and I don't need to pay for that as I already have one.
HELP!
Jeff

If your Mac has an audio input jack you can connect the output of a cassette machine to it (3.5mm stereo jack required). However many don't, so you will need a USB audio interface - Roland make a range. Alternatively you can buy cassette decks with a built in audio interface.
You will need a program to record and edit the input: Audacity is free and is often bundled with USB-enabled players.

Can you stream video from itunes using 1st generation appleTV

can I stream video using itunes on my PC and an appleTV(1st generation)?

AppleTV 1 works differently.
It has a sync/share mode and sharing (streaming only) modes set up by pairing the unit with iTunes on computers using the Settings>Computers menu.
The first sync and share connection is for one itunes library and allows you to sync compatible media to the unit's hard drive as well as stream the rest seamlessly if itunes is runniung and the drive has filled up - this media is accessed under My Music, My Movies etc.
Sharing libraries stream only and are accessed via My Shared Movies, Music etc.
Yes, Handbrake is a video converter that has AppleTV presets - use AppleTV1 preset or a simple universal Apple preset.
See:

ATV1 does not understand Home Sharing or video Airplay.

Recording streaming videos with sound

Can I use quicktime for recording streaming videos with sound? If not which Apple software can do it?
Bye Christof

You can use Quicktime to record streaming video +with it's audio+ by using a very simple trick. Using the same cable you connect your iPod/iPhone to your car's stereo system, connect your Mac's Audio OUT to its MIKE IN jack. I used FILE / OPEN URL to select the video stream source, then selected FILE / NEW SCREEN RECORDING. In the resulting 'Screen Recording' dialog box, I set the AUDIO slider all the way to the right, and under the arrow to the right, selected "Built-in Input Line In" for the microphone. I then used the appropriate controls to play the stream and record it. The resultant file was very acceptable. Good luck.

Stream video with Adobe Flash Media encoder

Looking for a video camera capable of streaming video with
good quality and decent price.
What camara should I buy?

I'm not sure if the Vixia series can be used to provide realtime video to a PC. They're not really designed for this purpose - they are primarily recording devices.
