T400 Streaming Media Issue
Hey. I recently got a Lenovo T400 (type 2764, sn xxxxx) and after a few months of everything working fine the streaming media stopped working. The problem started soon after I got the machine back from Lenovo after sending it in to repair the integrated camera. My T400 can pick up other system's media servers but other systems can not pick up my computer. Re-imaging my hard drive seems to fix the problem, but only temporarily. A day or two after re-imaging, the problem pops back up. Anyone else had this problem or have an idea how to fix it? Is there some kind of updating issue? Identical machines from my office that we ordered at the same time don't seem to have this problem.

Also before anyone asks we are using RTMP and the file type is F4V not FLV.

Streaming large files issue (flash streaming media server)
We are streaming a one hour F4V from streaming media server 3.5.2 and for some reason it is seeing our one hour video as being 10 hours long. We have tons of other videos and never ran into this problem in any of the other files. This is the only file that exceeds one hour. Any ideas. This occurs in the default player from the streaming server.

Hi!
I've been having a problem trying to view streaming media, but it only happens on some sites. It's similar to a problem I have on my Windows PC, that's related to Adobe Flash, but since I'm very new to using my iPad Mini, I don't even know if Apple devices have Flash...do they?
Anyway, when I go to a site that's plagued by this issue, I tap the 'Play' arrow on my screen & the circle spins like it's gonna play, but then the screen turns black & this error message appears:
"Error loading media. File Could not be played" followed by a triangle with an exclamation point !
I read several articles online & the solutions ran from updating firmware in their router, (mine is brand new...installed last Thursday), to disabling ad-block programs in their browsers...(I don't have any enabled), and the last one was making changes to the DNS...(I know it means 'domain name server', but I don't have the foggiest idea how to make changes to it!
Anyway, that's my problem. I hope that someone out there knows what I can do to fix it!
Thanks in advance for your help.
K-9PalI would assume an issue with the HTML5 media player.
If those aren't working on Windows then it is possible that the proper codecs aren't installed.
You can try to disable the HTML5 media player and make Firefox use the Flash plugin.
You can do this by setting these two prefs to false on the <b>about:config</b> page:
*media.windows-media-foundation.enabled
*media.directshow.enabled

Linux 3.12 and streaming media on a Dell XPS 13: kernel panic
Hi all,
Shortly after upgrading from Linux 3.11.6 to 3.12, I started getting kernel panics while playing streaming media (in particular from Youtube and The Daily Show). Here is a camera shot. The crash would not take place immediatly, but perhaps after 15 minutes of streaming. After downgrading to Linux 3.11.6 everything works fine. Therefore, it is clear to me that the issue is related to the Linux 3.12 kernel, but this is all I know.
The fifth-to-last line from the camera shot reads:
[11438.332699] RIP [<ffffffff8129e160>] __sg_page_iter_start+0x20/0x20
A quick Google search reveals that __sg_page_iter_start is a function inside the scatterlist.h library in the Linux kernel, which apparently deals with memory paging, but my knowledge about this stuff is so poor that the message is almost meaningless. I would greatly appreciate if someone could give me a hint about this.
I did not find anything useful in the journal, but here are the last few journal lines for 2 different crash instances:

In the first journal log, the following line calls my attention:
Nov 15 00:26:02 xps kernel: perf samples too long (2530 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50100
However, this seems to be a normal occurrence after playing games (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=170471), so I would guess this is not related to the kernel panic.
For reference, here are some hardware specifications of my Dell XPS 13:

Hopefully this should be sufficient information, I've linked to this thread too. I've also mentioned I'm willing to beam one at someone from Amazon, with 2-day shipping to the USA the Pluggable branded adapter is just under NZD$40, which I can easily live with.
===========================================================================================================
USB3 gigabit ethernet adapters with the ASIX AX88179 chipset (LevelOne USB0401-V3, Plugable USB3-E1000, SIIG JU-NE0211-S1 and others) are experiencing kernel panics in usb_hcd_map_urb_for_dma since 3.12. The issue does not seem to directly correlate with low or high network activity, occurring seemingly at random. Some panics occurred less than 5 minutes from boot and tens of megabytes of network transfer, while on other occasions it would be stable for multiple days with tens to hundreds of gigabytes of line-rate throughput and several sleep/resume cycles.
Both my Sony Vaio Pro 13 and another user reporting this issue on the Arch forums [1] are Intel-based, my USB controller is an 8086:9c31 (Lynx Point LP), the other is reported as a C210/7 series (unknown PID). A third with a Haswell Dell XPS has attempted my workaround and reports similar success.
I have a mediocre quality photo of my laptop's screen from one of these panics [2], the call trace - which is similar but not identical between my machine and that of the other user reporting the issue - is as follows:
usb_hcd_map_urb_for_dma
usb_hcd_submit_urb
local_bh_enable_ip
selinux_parse_skb

So far as I can tell, the driver is unaffected as late as 3.11.6, but problematic as of 3.12 (and still affected in 3.13-rc5). The history of drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.c for this time period yields this patch, which at least in my somewhat limited understanding appeared a likely candidate. I've reverted this on my system - against several linux-next builds from the last 3-4 weeks - and have had no issues with this network controller since.

USBNET: ax88179_178a: enable tso if usb host supports sg dma
This patch enables 'can_dma_sg' flag for ax88179_178a device
if the attached host controller supports building packet from
discontinuous buffers(DMA SG is possible), so TSO can be enabled
and skb fragment buffers can be passed to usb stack via urb->sg
directly.
With the patch, system CPU utilization decreased ~50% and throughput
increased by ~10% when doing iperf client test on one ARM A15 dual
core board.

Unfortunately I have not retained the built kernel from a broken 3.12 build, so the system information below reflects the patched linux-next kernel I am running currently.
I understand this may be a somewhat obscure piece of hardware, I am willing to assist by drop-shipping one to someone from Amazon (or local country equivalent if the price is not extortionate) should it be required.

Streaming media from wireless external hard drive and MBP to TV?
Hi everyone. I have a retina MBP and have recently bought a Sony Bravia smart tv with wireless. I have a time machine (the new one) with an external hard drive connected to it with all my media, photo, movies etc. My tv is connected to my wireless from the time machine and I'm wondering how do I stream media from my external hard drive to my tv? And how do I stream media from my MBP to my tv wirelessly? I can't seem to figure it out. Also mirroring my MBP desktop to my tv wirelessly, can it be done without an apple tv? Thanks in advance.
I had the same issue. It was due to the appalling performance of the USB connection to the disk, not any issue with the wireless connection itself. My iMac was within 7m of the router, on the same floor, with a clear line of sight and good reported connection speed. I have the latest late-2009 version of the AEBS running the 7.5 firmware. This has loads of performance problems (read these forums). I'm hoping that Apple will release the new firmware (7.51) for download soon and then the issue may be resolved.

Windows hangs unexpectedly sometimes when I play streaming media
Sometimes I'll be playing some streaming media - it can be on youtube or on some other streaming media source and the file will "stick" -- that is, I find that I usually can't turn it off or shut down the page. Shortly afterward, the whole thing hangs. The image freezes and the audio turns into a loud wailing sound. Sometimes, if I wait, it may clear, or the system crashes to the blue screen of death. More often, I simply have to do a forced shut down and restart.
HP tech support and Verizon tech support can't figure out what the problem is. I've up-dated drivers, Ditto Firefox, I.E., emptied caches, etc.Hello vpv. I understand you're having some issues with Windows Media Player.
You'll need to begin by reinstalling your sound drives. I'll need your product number to locate the appropriate software. This document can show you how to locate that.
Also are you using Windows 7 or Windows 8?

Unable to get streaming media on FIOS
I have recently switched to FIOS and I am having trouble accessing streaming media from this site:
http://player.omroep.nl/?aflID=10779627&wmv=true
It just says "Connecting to Media" for about one minute and then goes to "Ready" without ever playing any media.
There is also a Silverlight version at http://player.omroep.nl/?aflID=10779627&silverlight=true which does show but stops every 5-10 seconds.
I have tried this on both our PC's, both wired and wireless. We run IE8 and IE9 on Win7 32-bit and Win7 64-bit respectively.
I have added the site to Trusted Sites, no help.
I have disabled Windows Firewall, no help.
I have disabled realtime scanning from MS Security Essentials, no help.
Both sites work find on the Internet connection in our office and using Internet hotspots using our default Windows/IE/Media Player settings.
We have 15/5 FIOS Internet, with the following router details:
Firmware Version: 20.10.7.5 Model Name: MI424WR-GEN2 Hardware Version: F Serial Number: {edited for privacy}Physical Connection Type: Coax Broadband Connection Type: DHCP Broadband Connection Status: Connected Broadband IP Address: {edited for privacy}
I have seen quite a few posts about similar issues but have not found the resolustion for us yet.
Can anyone offer assistance for this issue?Silverlight appears to be seriously messed up with this site!!
I changed the default player on the site to be Windows Media player and then it works OK with the old site. The New site still attempts to use Silverlight, even though you've specified windows media, and locks the application forcing you to end it with task manager.
You might want to report the attempted use of Sliverlight on the new site as a bug. I'm afraid that after 40+ years of not using Dutch that I probably wouldn't have the words to do that, -
Cannot view streaming media such as keynote addresses
I have followed the set up instructions as given on the Apple pages (QT Preferences, setting my transport to HTTP and port 80) but I still cannot view any of the streaming media from the Apple site, seminars etc. Are there further settings I can adjust on my machine or is this now an ISP issue??

Hi Jay -- Thanks for your help with my questions. Do you know
if there are any existing third party products that could be
purchased that piggy backs off of Flash Media Server 2? I read that
Stream
Pro by Digital Rapids offers workflow automation, integration,
and transcoding capabilities. Do you know much about this product
or any product similar? I hope my questions stay on topic, because
we would still like to use Flash Media Server 2 along with a client
of some kind.
Thank you again,

Flash player 11 is very glitchy on ALL browsers and makes my CPU usage 100%,Streaming media headache
flash player 11 is very glitchy on ALL browsers and makes my CPU usage 100%, making all youtube and pandora or any streaming media a headache, i have a low-end but good quality Emachine with Windows 7 Sv pk. 1, AMD Athalon Processor 2650e 1.6 GHz 2GB ram 32-bit, which isn't that bad, it used to play HD videos and everything without a skip or lag, it is virus clean, and clean of any large bulky programs, the only thing that went wrong was the fact that the adobe flash updates slowly but surely made it worse, AND it will not let me roll-back to an older version anymore like it used to, so WTF is up? no one seems to have an answer for this, and it seems like ADOBE is doing everything in it's power to not let me ask this question or get it solved, maybe it's because I AM TOO SMART FOR IT AND KNOW IT'S A FAILURE. so please, anyone who actually has a degree in this field is welcome, but no BS anymore, i want answers.
[moved to Flash Player forum]
Message was edited by: siniousThe jump to FP11 was pretty significant with Stage3D. Now Flash Player has a lower level access to your computers GPU to offload playing video and 3d rendering to the GPU. However if your systems GPU isn't up to the task you really won't see that performance gain.
Enter H264 video decoding. A large segment of the Flash usage market is simply viewing video. For sites without fallback in mind (or don't mind software rendering fallback), video may suffer. Using the GPU accelerated video classes may make it difficult for your system to view playback. Disabling hardware acceleration as recommended above would revert you back to software (CPU) decoding to check if your system itself is the issue (and not all the new GPU additions). You did that yet you're still having an issue.
Just to clarify, as I have an eMachine (for accounting), your computer is very much in the "budget" margin. You have a 3 year old single core 1.6ghz AM2 CPU with 512kb of L2. That's the K8 series. This is a very underpowered, single thread loving CPU. Only the most optimized Flash sites and lower end videos (720p or below) should play, but I'm not even sure if they'll "play well". It depends on your GPU.
Also you should know they have an official list of unsupported chipsets and drivers based on many factors. Here's a list for FP11 and AIR3:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/stage3d-unsupported-chipsets-drivers-flash.html
Check the bottom of the screen to see what Flash is reporting your rendering mode is. For example, mine states:
Your gpu supports Stage3D in both Baseline and Constrained profile!
Baseline RenderMode:
DirectX9
Constrained RenderMode:
DirectX9 (Baseline Constrained)
This probably won't get better in the future for you. Flash is not a low end multimedia runtime. It does require and utilize high end hardware in a much more reliable way. -
Lost Playhead in QT with Streaming Media
We have 3 different computers in our house, Mac Pro, Mac Mini and PowerPC laptops. We used to stream media (radio, TV) from a series of websites, using Flip4Mac to convert Windows Media to compatible steams for QuickTime Pro. We would then save portions of the streamed media using the Select All function, cutting and pasting, etc. I could export shows from the streamed broadcasts to my iPod, etc. No longer. The playhead and selection bars have disappeared and the 'copy' and 'paste' are gone from the menus. When the streaming media come up, the phrase, "buffering..." briefly appears and then the bar next to the time in the browser becomes gray. The streaming begins without the playhead. Oh, yes, all the software is up to date. ....
However, if i re-load an older movie or download a video, i can still get these items. I went to see one of the geniuses at our local Apple Store, and after confirming that the functionality existed for the same streams in the store itself (also running Flip4Mac), explained the problem. Hours later, after everyone in the store had messed with my computer, i left with no solution, except to re-install Leopard. Of course, i wasn't going to do this without re-installing my preferences, files, etc., and after all this, still no playhead!
Someone out there has solved this problem. I know this because i read the solution a couple years ago here and resolved the issue. If anyone out there has solved this problem, please help! (Perhaps some Apple Developer is curious to know what kinds of bugs are out there and can set us straight?)So sorry. Sounds as if you have the same problem i had.
However, in addition to proving to myself that QT can be made to work by going to the Apple Store, as recounted earlier, i have now established the same thing at home, where i really needed it. It was brute force but successful. One of our older Power PC G4 laptops had the problem i have described, but the other did not appear to have it. The playhead was still there, but in the player, not in Pro. (We had never upgraded to Pro on this computer.) Tonight, i upgraded this computer to Pro and not only the playhead was there, but also the copy and paste functions. After installing a trial version of Flip4Mac, i verified that the playhead and other functions were preserved. I then went through the laborious process of compressing virtually every file related to audio components, QT files, and WMV files on the first computer. Finally, i trashed everything and transferred the components from the second computer. Et voila, after restarting, there was the playhead and other functions on my first computer again ---- and i am now able once again to save clips from the so-called 'pure stream' of the URL given eaerlier in this thread. So, indeed, there is some kind of configuration bug that is very difficult to eliminate except by an extreme measure like this. (Re-installing Flip4Mac and QuickTime didn't resolve the problem.
Good Luck with your own computer ---- but then perhaps you don't care whether you can save clips from a 'pure stream' ..... I really wish Apple would document this and resolve it, so people don't think it's something natural and inevitable. And that they would come up with a simpler solution! -
Hi, I have a brand new yoga 10 tablet and I'm getting a streaming media player error on every streaming video on the internet that I have seen. My friend has the same tablet and everything works fine. I have made a factory default command but the error is still there, I'm getting desperate, does anyone have an idea on this matter?
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi calibant,
thanks for posting and welcome to the community. Was reading through your post and wondering if you've updated your table with the latest firmware available? You may want to compare firmwares with your friend as see if you have matching firmware. If it found to be same, I believe there maybe something internally causing this and you will have to seek the assistance of our service team.
Another thing I'd like to as if you downloaded another player are you facing the same issue? How about streaming video such as youtube? do you get the same results?
Hope to hear back.

Streaming media from PC to XBOX 360 via BT Router ...
Hi,
I've just moved house, I used to be with SKY BB and I've never had any issues streaming media from my PC to my XBOX.
I have tried everything I can think of (I have even restored my PC) but then I realised that the only thing that is different is my router?
I'm connected from the PC to the router via WiFi
My XBOX is connected via a cable directly into the router.
But the XBOX can not detect the PC
But my PC can see the XBOX
'My Videos' - 'My Music' - & Media Centre does not work on the XBOX
(Yes, all of my folders are shared, in the past I have done this 100's of times)
am I missing something? Is there a setting on the router that needs changing??
Many Thanks
BenThe IP subnet for the home hub is different than your Sky router, so you may need to make some changes to your device settings.
If its a home hub 4, then this thread may also help.

Hi Guys,
I have an issue at the moment where by the WSA is not blocking streaming media on news websites eg. theage.com.au, news.com.au, heraldsun.com.au.
Youtube and other streaming media sites that fall under this category are blocked normally.
My question is, with this type of custom media streaming where can i request to have it added into the category Streaming Media?
Thanks
AdamYou can create an access policy matching both the custom category and the user-agent to identify the news stream and then block the custom category in that created access policy.
Look at the on-line user guide section "Working with User Agent Based Policies" for more info on user-agent policies.
Here's how you can find any particular user-agent:
You can find out what user agent is being used from the accesslogs by adding a custom specifier of '%u'
a. Go to System Administration > Log Subscription > accesslogs > Custom Fields > %u
b. Then use the grep command to see all request from that specific client:
Using the grep command from the CLI, you can view a specific request from specific clients to troubleshoot why it was allowed, blocked, or which group it matched on.
Paste the response from the CLI and we can assist in analyzing the access logs.
1. Log into the CLI.
2. Type in "grep".
3. Select the accesslogs.
4. Type in specific client's ip address for the regular expression
5. Type in "Y" for do you want to tail the accesslogs. -

New wiki page on 'streaming media'
Hi there,
I have created a new page on how to stream media over the network. It seemed like a good idea to centralize knowledge on this topic on 1 page, even if all it held were references to more concise wikipages.
The page is located at: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Streaming_media
1. This is my first wiki-page, so I'm sure I've done some things wrong;
2. I will be adding more information on some of the programs I've used, but of course, you are all invited to add content or discuss the page...
HTH!Hi,
It is a really nice idea. Maybe the page ought to serve as a hub for other articles.
A couple of comments on sharing medias:
* I have not been very happy with upnp. I used it for a while when I had a Synology NAS, but the fact that it seemed to rely on some kind of index made it less attractive. Samba has treated me nice; it always works (as oppose to "real" Windows shares which is a drag to setup). I use samba for sharing videos and pictures to XMBC4Xbox.
* For streaming live audio output, i.e. what is playing *right now* on my laptop to my stero, I have found a combo of icecast, pulseaudio and gstream to work nice. For serving static audio files I use squeezeboxserver. Had I used a Sonos sound system I would have used Samba again.
* For PS3, which is a somewhat limited device, there is a nice java application that takes care of everything.
* What I really miss is some way to preserve metatags when downloading video podcasts. To me it does not matter much at the moment as xbmc does not support local rss feeds. . .
I could add some comments on some of the above if you think it fits into your article.
