Time capsule video streaming

Can I download videos straight to Time capsule and than stream it to Samsung TV? TV is connected to the internet by wire and is in the same network with Mac, router, receiver etc. Will Samsung TV see the Time capsule's HDD storage like it sees other connected devices?

No, you cannot download directly to the TC.. and no the Samsung TV will not see it.
The TV requires DLNA server in whatever storage device to share media to it.
TC has no media extensions at all. And apple will never use DLNA since they are competing with itunes and itunes store.

On what device do those iTunes videos reside?

Does anyone know a work around to broadcast live (in real time) via video stream through a BC website?

There is no work around. You would look to use a service, like Twitch, you get a embed code for the live stream, you put that on a page and away you go. All depends on the service your using.

Time Capsule Video Stuttering in OSX and not Windows Vista/7

Hi,
I have a MacBook 1.6 GHz D-core. I store all my video content on my Time Capsule, 500GB. Whenever I try to stream a video over the network, via TC, it stutters. Whether that be SD or HD content.
When I try to stream the same content on Vista or Windows 7 I have zero problems.
The suttering happends about every 15 seconds and seems like it skips a frame or two. The audio cuts out as well but it's less than a second long and the video goes back to normal. It wouldn't be a big issue however it happends about 3-4 times a minute and I find it annoying.
I'm not sure why I have no issues on Vista/7 but have problems with OSX. Any advice?

ATV 2 and Time Capsule-Choppy Streaming

So I am using my Time Capsule as my wireless router and as an external hard drive. I am streaming my TV shows/movies (I converted them to mp4 files) from my TC to Apple TV via iTunes and it's awful; choppy like every 10 seconds or so. Not sure why this is happening.
Any suggestions?

Probably the network being too slow. Anything changed recently?
If media is stored on the network there is theoretically more traffic as Itunes feeds AppleTV the movie.
File on computer's drive > iTunes > Network > AppleTV
File on network storage > network > iTunes > network > AppleTV
Try copying one of your movies to iTunes but change preferences to store on the computer drive. You could open a test library using alt/switch key when you open itunes to try this. Does that help? If not must be something else.

Can a full time capsule affect streaming?

I've been experience spotting internet. It is near impossible for me to stream. Around the same time that I stopped being able to stream time capsule told me my disk was getting full. ATT says everything is fine on their end and they suggest it may be my airport/time capsule. Is is possible that a full time capsule could affect my internet and if so, what can I do about it?

As the Time Capsule disk fills up, Time Machine will automatically start to delete the oldest backups to make room for new backups, so the Time Capsule will stay connected longer each hour as it makes evaluations about the data on the drive and how best to handle new backups.
The increased data flow over the wireless (I assume that you are using wireless for Time Machine backups) might tend to slow down the wireless network a bit, but you should not encounter loss of Internet connections on the network.
To see if your Time Machine backups might be the cause of the connection problems, I suggest that you turn Time Machine off for a day or so and watch how the network performs.
If you elect to try this, open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Time Machine to turn the application OFF. Reverse the process when you want to turn backups ON again.
If your connection problems go away when you turn Time Machine off, you have your answer.
If the connection problems remain, (as I suspect they will) then you need to start looking for other causes like wireless interference from another network that may have been recently installed near you, a cordless phone, or a wireless camera/security system at the neighbors.

Storing iTunes media on Time Capsule to stream to ATV

Can someone please detail the steps I need to move my itunes movies and music to new Time Capsule. I have done this and Apple TV is unable to recognize the library.
Here is what I've done so far:
1. Copied the iTunes music folder to the TC
2. Changed the library location to this folder in iTunes Preferences
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Do you need to keep a local copy of your iTunes library for some reason? If not delete the local copy and keep only the copy on your Time Capsule.
Once this is done, on your Time Capsule, right click on your iTunes folder and select create an alias. Move this alias to your local Music folder and rename it iTunes (instead of "iTunes alias". That way your computer will think it plays the local copy but it will be redirected to the TC.
That's how mine is set up and it works good. I did the same with iPhoto

Can I Use Time Capsule to Stream iTunes or Do I have to Buy Airport Express?

I have a 2TB Time Capsule and wanted to know if I can use this to setup a multi room sound system with ceiling speakers. From what I've read I need the Airport Express, but wanted to check with more experienced Apple users. Thanks!

The Time Capsule does not have any audio capability or ports for audio connections. You need an AirPort Express.

What do i need to download to my iphone 3gs to be able to view all 4 security cameras at the same time? I can view one at a time live video streaming and just tap the screen to which direction i want to look and the lens moves.i use safari

What do i need to be able to view all 4 security cameras in the same window on my iphone 3gs? I can view 1 at a time and just tap the screen to move the lens of the security camera on my iphone from my work place. But i once had all 4 cameras but it will not downlosd all 4 now. Is there anything out there like a stronger java to push the activex to my iphone?

The iPhone does not run ActiveX. That is proprietary to MS Internet Exploder.

Will time capsule support streaming for Netflix 3D

Will TimeCapsule provide data rates streaming to smart TV for NetFlix 3D? NetFlix & Amazon require 25 mps.

Yes, they are well capable of WAN to LAN throughput of 300-500Mbps.
Wireless of course will never be that fast.. a gen3 TC is limited to 150Mbps on 2.4ghz and 300 or if you are very lucky 450mbps on 5ghz but range is short.. that is link speed only and actual throughput can be very slow.. depending on distance and load from other wifi clients.. to stream smoothly you need ethernet IMHO.. once you start into the 3d kind of speeds.. or you need dedicated wireless link at 5ghz.

Do I need Apple TV with Time Capsule to stream to my tv?

Hi, I bought the TC today and am currently waiting for it to finish backing up my files. I've got a Samsung Series 6 tv and would like to stream from my iMac to the tv, which are on two different floors of the house. Do I need Apple TV to do this? I also have a Nintendo Wii and an Xbox 360. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Since you noted that you were using an iPad, are you looking for printing capability from the iPad?
If yes, you need an AirPrint compatible printer to be able to print directly from the iPad. An AirPort Express is not needed for this. Check this Apple support document for more details:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Connecting a printer that is a non-compatible AirPrint model to the AirPort Express will not make it AirPrint compatible.
So, before we get too much further here, it might be a good idea to understand exactly what your goals are and what devices you want to use.

Using Time Capsule as Hard Drive for Videos

This is likely a simple issue but I want to ensure that I do this properly. My internal hard drive is near capacity. I store a lot of media on my internal hard drive such as photos, music and video. I would like to move the video files (both edited and unedited) to my Time Capsule to free up space on my internal hard drive and continue to store and access/edit the photos on my internal hard drive. I would like to continue to use iMovie and other software to edit the videos which will be moved to Time Capsule. I tried to drag and drop the movie files from my hard drive to the Time Capsule Data folder but it started simply making a copy of the movie files rather than moving them entirely. I want to make sure that iMovie will "find" these files when I open the application.
I did something similar with my music library. While I have issues such as iTunes not finding the music (even though I changed the location of the music directory within iTunes preferences, iTunes still shows a circle with an ! in it for a good portion of my music which is frustrating bt that s a topic for another day), I want to make sure that I do this propoerly as these videos are special family videos that I have spent a good deal of time ediing.
Oh and one other thing, I am about to transfer a lot of new unedited video taken over the holidays and I want to make sure when I download them to my Mac, that the new video is saved directly to the new Time Capsule video folders.
Thanks for the help in advance!

I am not saying you cannot use it.. I am saying it is far from ideal.
If your TC dies. as they do .. and take it to apple, they will then change the story to say that it is a backup device.. there are no parts available for the TC, no service, no repairs.. it will be replaced in warranty. Wave goodbye to your content.. as they will do nothing to recover it.. if you remove the disk, or tamper in any way you will have voided the warranty. No NAS on the market (worth the name) seals in the hard disk.
The hard drive is a WD green.. far from the best hard drive around.. and whilst apple claim server quality.. I think their definition of servers and mine has reached snapping point. They are using MTBF from 15years ago or more.
For things like media, where you are handling large files.. a single green drive, without raid, in a backup device on the network are slow. Set to spin down 1min after file transfer is complete.. is so far from ideal it is ridiculous.
The reality is, Apple simply do not have another product.. a suitable one available.. and with the wide spread change to ssd, people are rapidly discovering their 128 and 256GB drives do not cut it.
I am glad you are at least using some backup regime.. that it isn't built into the TC is IMHO another indication that it isn't what apple are claiming it to be. Indeed even the pathetic attempt at backup they had built into the v5 utility, archive to USB drive.. no increments,, always the whole disk.. extremely slow.. was removed from the v6 utility. You cannot sell a device as a NAS without any way to backup, other than using a third party product.

Stream from Time Capsule to Apple TV without having the Mac on.

Is it possible to move my movie content to the Time Capsule and stream to Apple TV without the Mac being on?

Only if the TC is jailbreaked.. otherwise it is dependent on itunes.. and TC is a dumb hard drive without media server or smarts of any kind.
You can buy a WD live or lots of other media players.. but Apple locked ATV to the itunes environment.. to ensure you pay.

Can i use time capsule as an external hard drive and stream stuff?

hey i am thinking of purchasing a 2TB time capsule because its soo annoying getting stuff from my external putting them onto my mac then putting them into itunes then streaming them from my itunes to my xbox, is their no way i can just put all my films and music onto the time capsule and stream them to my xbox and macbook without all the wires and hassle, i am also wondering if i could do this would i be able to stream music from the time capsule (external harddrive) to my iphone. The main reason why i would like to know this is because my mac is only 150Gb and i have over a 1TB of films would be soo much easier if someone could give me some answers thank you

Here's my set up:
Mac only>TC is my main router>wired with Cat 6 ethernet cable>set up for wireless also.
My other Macs wired or wireless can detect the 500 gig hard drive so I use it as storage and sync it to my Apple TV for movie watching.
You can do this on PC.

Video ichat and Time Capsule settings?????

I can video ichat with my brother with I plug the Ethernet cable directly into my Macbook. It works great. When I set up the wireless router as I normally would have it through my time capsule, Video Chat no longer works. The internet is fine and everything works great other than video chatting. Does anyone know what I need to do? Please advise, this is driving me crazy!
Thanks!

No, when the ethernet cable is plugged directly into the side of my MacBook, video chat with iChat works fine. But when I use the timecapsule as a wireless router, iChat no longer works. So the problem has to be with the wireless router settings/timecapsule. My firewall is set to "allow all incoming connections". I don't know what else to try? I appreciate any advice! Thanks!
