Unable to Stream Audio

I'm unable to stream audio from a popular radio station. My old Win XP and Vista systems had no trouble. The radio station's site indicates that Windows Media Player is necessary. I'm hesitant to install anything having to do with Microsoft and/or Windows. What do I need to know? What are the pros/cons of installing Windows Media Player? Is there an Apple-approved version of WMP? Are there any other options available to me?

Hi iTunesKruzr
Some radio stations will play in Safari and other OS X browsers and some will not without a wmp?
Download and install Flip4Mac first to see if that doesn't let you listen to you favorite station?

  • Unable Streaming Audio Over AirPort

    OK, with this forum's help, I've figured out how to stream audio from one of my favorite radio stations to my iMac.. That's all well and good, but I'm unable to hear the resulting audio through my stereo receiver which is networked to my iMac through AirPort using an AirPort Express and a Time Capsule. iTunes plays just fine through this network. What's up? I'm missing something.

    depending on the application you use, Airfoil might be able to help.

  • Unable to Switch Audio Sync Settings

    Hey everyone,
    I'm trying to create an animation based off of a 5-minute mp3 audio recording. I need to be able to switch my audio sync settings to Stream so that I can preview audio anywhere in my animation. Currently if I press play just anywhere in the animation it doesn't play the audio. I have to play from the beginning to hear.
    After doing some searching on the Internet, I figured out I have to switch my audio sync setting to Stream so that I can play audio anywhere in the timeline. However, the only option I have available is Event. The other ones are greyed out, as the screenshots below testify. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
    Hardware and Software Statistics:
    Adobe Flash Professional CC (CS6) - Version 13.1.0.226
    Windows 7 Home Premium - Version 6.1 - Build 7601: Service Pack 1
    Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M

    The first the thing a person should always do when they encounter a problem is restart their computer. No worries, I did that.
    I tried converting the file to OGG and WAV to see if it would work better. Apparently Flash Professional handles WAV fine, allowing me to switch between Stream and Event audio sync settings. That's kind of strange, because WAV files are so huge and aren't practical when developing a game or something like that.
    Thankfully, I'm just using Flash Professional to export a video, so I don't care about file size, but it's a disturbing bug.
    If anyone knows why I was unable to switch to Stream audio sync settings with MP3 files, please speak up.

  • Streaming audio apps drop unexpectedly

    I use several streaming audio apps (Pandora, iHeartRadio, WunderRadio) on my iPhone, but they seem to drop/crash unexpectedly, often in the middle of a song or program. Usually the crash happens after several minutes, but I seem to have to relaunch an app at least once every 30 minutes. Is there a time limit on the amount of time the iPhone can stream audio, or is this just an app crashing. I have looked, but have been unable to find any settings for streaming time limits.

    There are no streaming time limits imposed by the iPhone.
    Pandora drops out on me occasionally but never crashes. I assume the drops are due to an imperfect cellular connection and/or Pandora servers.
    Regarding crashes, this shouldn't happen. Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Browser is non functional after receiving phone call while streaming audio

    If I browse to a site that streams audio and play that audio, when a call comes in I am able to answer the call and hang up but when I go back to the browser it appears that the Quicktime window that plays the audio is in the background behind some kind of black modal window except for a thin space at the top of the screen. About the same size as the window for an active call if you do other things with your phone while in a call. I can still hit the Done button on the top left hand corner but that is the end of it. I can't use the browser anymore until I reboot the phone(which I find myself doing quite frequently since the iOS4 update...it reminds me of my Windows Mobile 5 phone it replaced).

  • Streaming audio across the whole folio

    We have a client who is interested in creating a "radio" function, where we would stream audio across the whole folio. The desired effect would be that audio would play continuously and uninterrupted on each page of each article.
    I know that there is a way to play a local audio file across the whole folio. We already tested that and it should work just fine, but the client would like the audio to be streamed from the internet because we may not have the rights to embed the audio files.
    Do you know if there is a provision to do something like this from Adobe DPS? We heard that it might be possible by using a set up similar to browser frames, but I was unable to find any documentation about that.
    iPad only.

    We don't support authoring streaming audio and video using the DPS authoring tools at the moment. There's no way to do this with a web overlay as the overlay will get removed from memory once your reader moves away to another article.

  • Stream Audio to Laptop Speakers over Bluetooth

    Hey everyone,
    So I'm having an issue where I can't stream audio from any of my portable devices to playback through the laptop speakers, over bluetooth. I have no issues pairing devices to the laptop, nor sendng or recieving files using bluetooth. The only problem is streaming audio through the laptops speakers
    I have the latest Bluetooth drivers installed for the ' Ralink rt3290 01 adapter'. I got the drivers from the official HP website (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5386... yet audio streaming over bluetooth stll does not work
    For testing purposes, I paired the same portable devices to another laptop from a different manufacturer, running windows 8.1 pro, and the audio streaming worked perfectly. All I did was pair the other laptop to my portable device, and press play. 
    I've spent some time browsing various forums looking for solutions, but nothing has worked so far. I don't know what else to try
    Any and all help resolving this issue is greatly apprecited. I really want to show off the great speakers that this laptop has

     Hello @cipegwa,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that your notebook computer is not able to stream audio from any of your portable devices to playback through the notebook speakers, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To ensure that the Bluetooth software is installed correctly on your computer, I recommend removing the drivers from Programs and Features or the Device Manager. Once the old software is removed, please restart your computer.
    When the notebook has booted back into Windows, I recommend downloading the HP Wireless Button Driver, as well as any applicable wireless or Bluetooth drivers needed from the HP Support Assistant. 
    Additionally, I also suggest following the steps below:
    Step 1. Go to device manager
    Step 2. Right click on "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" that you want
    Step 3. Select "Update Driver Software..."
    Step 4. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software"
    Step 5. Choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    Step 6. Select "Ports (COM & LPT)"
    Step 7. Select "Microsoft" at "Manufacturer" list
    Step 8. Finally select "Standard Serial over Bluetooth link"
    If you are still unable to pair with a Bluetooth device try the following:
    Step 1. Search for "Change device" in the Windows 8 Start menu.
    Step 2. Click on where it says Change device installation settings.
    Step 3. Select the No, let me choose what to do option.
    Step 4. Check the automatically get the device app option
    Step 5. Click Save changes to save the settings you just chose
    As well you can try this:
    Step 1: Go to RUN (Windows Logo + R) and type “services.msc” and Enter
    Step 2: Now find “Bluetooth Support Service” and double click on it
    Step 3: Now click on Log On Tab and Type in "Local Service" without quotes
    Step 4. Click on “This Account”
    Step 5: Now remove any passwords leave the password field blank
    Step 6: Underneath the upper left title should be a hyperlink "Start"
    Step 7. Click "Start"
    You can also check Power Management tab and unchecked the box that said "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."

  • Unable to stream live radio

    I have a MacBook laptop and I'm currently unable to stream live radio to it. It had been working. My tech updated it and now it won't stream.
    Is there a setting some place that I need to set to get it going again?
    Thanks much!
    Ginger

    Maybe someone else know of a quick fix, not me unfortunaley, it is also a while since I used 10.6.8.
    At least the audio system works correctly.
    Few more questions.
    Do you have any extentions in Safari preferences, such as Ad block, Flash block etc, these can stop streaming working? I cannot remember if these extentions were available for Snow Leopard.
    Did you use a Proxy server in your network settings that as been disabled by the software upgrade, or have they set one up for you in network settings to use the school network?
    Do use a particular station, if so what is it and I will try it on my computer. It may give some pointers to what is stopping on your computer.
    and I should have asked this before, can you steam radio from other locations, say at home etc.

  • Distributing streaming audio to remote receivers

    I'm trying to set up a Terk LeapFrog system to send streaming audio to a stereo elsewhere in the house; I've plugged a stereo mini-plug (with RCA adapters) into the headphone jack on my iMac, run lines from the adapter to the input of a DVD player (just using it as an amplifier), and running the DVD's output to the LeapFrog transmitter. Thus far, I've been unable to get a detectable signal from the Mac to the DVD player. The LeapFrog system is working - I'm able to send a DVD movie to a remote TV - so the difficulty seems to be between the computer and the DVD player. The Mac output works fine with headphones; the only thing I see is that the headphone mini-plug has one more 'segment' than does the adapter I'm using. Anyone have any ideas? I appreciate it -

    You'll need Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio on your computer to the AirPort Express.

  • Problem with streaming audio

    I wasn't sure if this is a problem with Safari, iTunes, or OS X, so rather than post the question in all three of those forums I decided to post the question here.
    I can't seem to get streaming audio to open and play when I click on their appropriate links in Safari. I tried several different links through a few different sites, but when I click on a "Play" or "Listen Now" link for an MP3 stream, a Safari download window opens and that's it -- no stream.
    I solved the problem by copying the link, going to iTunes, and choosing "Open Stream" from the "Advanced" menu, and the stream played fine, but I would hate to have to do that every time I want to sample an audio stream.
    Anyone know why it wouldn't work when I clicked on the direct link?
    Thanks.

    Nevermind. Noob figured out what he was doing wrong.
    See Safari "Preferences", "Open 'safe' files after downloading".

  • I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

    New to the community here, thanks for your patience.  I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
    I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
    I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
    Thanks so much.

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).

    I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).
    On the Iphone and Apple TV I can connect to Netflix . . . it recognizes me and my account settings . . . and I can veiw all my recent programs and show titles, descriptions, etc..  But when I select one to watch I get a message saying:
    "ERROR A PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE PLAYING THIS ITEM. TRY AGAIN LATER, OR SELECT A DIFFERENT ITEM. GO TO WWW.NETFLIX.COM/SUPPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION. (139)
    Netflix support say there is nothing wrong on their end . . . that it is an Apple issue.  They see the request for the show, the devices are registered . . . but it shows 0 bandwidth to the device.
    My Apple TV did this when I first hooked it up a couple of weeks ago.  Then after a few days started working with Netflix, for no apparent change . . . now doesn't again for the past couple of days (I think that it auto restarted the other night after a virus scan).
    Very frustrating, and driving me nuts!  Has anyone else had and been able to resolve this problem?

    Troubleshooting
    Apple TV2 update one day and netflix is browsing but not launching the actual content (error 139)
    Ipad2 (another ios device) forces me to update netflix if I want to use it and I get the same error 139 on it.
    **** now I have two not ways not working where prior to some update it was fine.
    Nintendo Wii is still working ( mind you running an ancient version of netflix )  Dusted the Wii off and gave it to the kids use.  Now they are happy again...
    PC is also still working ( using some other flash client ) but that's just of interest, we're not going to be watching tv with that.
    My wife's iphone 4s is still working.  Odd.. still ios but for somereason I am not forced to update the version. So basically she could mirror stream up to the apple tv with it.  Nice feature of Ios5.  Later found out it is using 1.4 version of netflix.  The most useful thing out of that is that all 3 of the devices are Ios and it was actually the iphone with the 1.4 version of netflix that still worked!
    I heard from a friend who was on a different ISP he was still working so I took my appletv2 and ipad2 over to my brothers house who is on that same ISP as my friend and both started working.  So the ISP is involved too!
    Brought the appletv2 and ipad2 back to my house hoping it would maybe still work.  No dice   Broken again.
    Searched the appstore for a decent packet analyzer and there isn't really anything.  I was able to sniff the traffic with my PC and also on my juniper ssg5 confirmed that.  Turns out port 80 traffic is actually failing and authorization is not happening.  The other clients do not do this...
    Asked a buddy from work who used to work at the ISP if he could make a call to some one who might actually know what is going on.  He came back pretty quick and said yea they are trying really hard to get the beta patch in from Bluecoat asap. 
    So knowing that it was actually Netflix that changed when it hit 2.0 and in my case the ISP made the adjustment it's pretty safe to say this issue is going to be ongoing unless netflix changes again the way they authorize for licenses.
    So that's the summary of what went right down the troubleshooting path but I'll tell what what didn't
    2 calls to Netflix (useless... waste of time... they are too quick to blame anyone but themselves)
    1 call to apple support (support call was going to cost more than it cost for me to change ISPs)
    2 calls to ISP (through the normal means - regular support number)
    So why is this intermittantly working sometimes?  If you are lucky enough to authorize to an IP address that is not cached they voila you are going to get an authorization / a license to watch the show.  Some people report after defribulating their appletv (reseting, rebooting, dns changes, you name it) they get it working.  Over the past month we all seem to have got it working for some period of time only to lose it a day to two later.
    It's now been several days since the beta patch to the bluecoat and 4 of us who have been communicating on the issue appear to be online all at the same time for those several days and that is a good sign that we might be out of the woods on the issue.
    Hope this turns into something helpful for someone else out there.

  • Facebook and streaming audio issues

    I like using Facebook and stream audio from my favorite radio stations!  However, I am running into adobe flash upgrade issues!!!!  I can bring up Facebook but I can't run certain programs within it.  I can bring up my favorite radio stations but won't let me stream audio!!!!  Any solutions?

    What exactly are your issues?
    I had an issue where every image found on the blog template was showing up instead of the actual image that represented the blog post. My fix was to make sure of the following:
    1. Blog image needs to be small in file size. Many bloggers post images that came straight off their camera and I found that the share tools will grab the most accessbile and light-weight files first. If the image is too big then it won't grab it at all. The share tool grabs the smallest and fastest loading, top-most in the code image first, which means the images found on the template of the blog.
    This issue occurs at WordPress too, so it is not restricted to BC but rather the tools provided to share.
    2. Try to avoid putting the image inbetween <p></p>'s, when I pulled mine out of the the paragraph format, they were found quicker.
    3. Avoid having the image lead off the blog post list before the bodypreview, if you can at all just show the image on within post detail page if you can. I know that having an image in the list helps, but then just put the whole blog in the list, like WP does. Problem here is that most share tools on the list have a problem diciphering what to share, so it shares the whole page, giving everthing a share count. WP does this better. They isolate the independent listings and provide isolated share tools for each list.
    Wait a week and the technology will change again.
    Good news is that the element that Facebook offers to share a page on the web will be featuring the option to upload an image to accompanying the sharing of the post. You can see this happening at Facebook already when you drop in the link of the post into a news feed.
    I hope this helps.

    From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software,  play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
    Let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • How can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    how can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?
