Very poor video streaming from youtube

I cannot watch a single video from youtube or any other site. I have OS v6.0.0.522. Is there anything i can do?? It will play a video for a few seconds then just starts to buffer. I have a BB 3G 9300 with Sprint

Hello mikeswitzer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
As you have already figured out poor signal strength equals poor bandwidth performance. This, of course, will be noticeable for both audio and video streaming.
I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with your MacBook near the Time Capsule (TC), note the readings, and then, go to the location where you currently have the Mac Mini.
SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
The SNR, as measured from the MacBook, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
SNR Guideline
o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
If the SNR is 20dB+ at the Mac Mini, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your TC. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating either the TC or the Mac Mini until they are within a 20dB SNR range.
Another option is to utilize a transceiver on the Mac Mini to try to increase the Mini's built-in AirPort antenna ability to pick up the signal from the TC. One vendor that provides these is QuickerTek.

  • Video streamed from YouTube using the Apple Composite AV Cable

    I used to have video streamed from YouTube on my iPad to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable, this was in previous versions till the iOS 6 release, then YouTube no longer streams video through this cable :'(
    Very annoying really to miss a feature through a software upgrade!
    Please help me.

    Looks like the connector that goes into the iPad doesn't precisely connect all pins and lock the whole thing in place as well as we would think an Apple-branded product would. I discovered after four hours that if I pull my AV composite cable from the iPad without turning the iPad off (not the Apple recommended way - perhaps there's a better way, like replugging with it off?) and plugging it back in, *poof* I get video again. Now, Netflix still isn't working, but U-Tubes and photo slideshows are back with awesome-quality sound. I believe I'll get similar results when I try this on my iPhone 4.
    I guess Apple TV is really the only way to get the luxury back of being able to stay focused on your entertainment and not this equipment because this was spozed to be a movie nite for me four hous ago. I just wish Apple TV had as much content as the Roku.
    Anyway, just plug and re-plug, but don't be too hard on it. You might also have to turn widescreen off and back on again.

  • E71 - Cannot view Video streams from YouTube

    Hey ther,
    i recently picked up the E71, great phone, must say.
    However, i have a concern...
    I tried browsing YouTube & MetaCafe using my WiFi & GPRS connection to view videos of youtube and metacafe.
    The problem however is, once I click a Video thumbnail on the browser, it loads the Real Player as default. However, once the video is buffered 100%, it only plays out the Audio (sound). The Video simply doesn't show up. the RM player simply displays the loading screen.
    Even if I save this video post its audio only playback and view try viewing it offline, the same result, only Audio play.
    Can someone please help??
    Thanks n rgds,
    Raj S

  • I have no sound on videos streaming from youtube etc

    Everything was fine until installing Regwork.  i have uninstalled Regwork...how do I fix this?

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
    Launch Firefox and see if the videos play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component.  When done, restart Internet Explorer.

    hi, tell me any good app to download video song from youtube..thanks

    [Get Flash Videos] ([get_flash_videos]) from the AUR.  It is a command-line program that can download the highest-quality-possible video streams from YouTube as well as many other video streaming websites, and also allows you to log in right there on the console if a video was content-flagged on particular a video-streaming service.  You can also download the subtitles/closed-captions along with video.

  • Does Premier Elements allow me to record video streaming from the internet?

    Does Premier Elements allow me to record video streaming from the internet?  If so which version and how?

    kc42k
    Although Premiere Elements is not going to record streaming video from the Internet but there are other programs that can, you should consider the terms of service for the web site that is the source for the streaming video.
    Online, there are very comprehensive articles on numerous programs that will do the recording.
    But, even those articles point out that many of the Internet web sites that you target for their videos have terms of service that would legally prohibit the recording of streaming video from the named web sites, one example, YouTube, if no download button and depending on the terms of service.
    Please consider. Any questions about the above, I can point you to the appropriate documentation on the matter.
    Thank you.

  • Very poor video quality after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1

    MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
    I have very poor video quality after transcoding the video file (MPEG) in  Adobe Encore CS5.1. Below you see my used settings in my filmproject.
    The problem exists after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1. I checked all steps and found out that there is no problem until transcoding. My exported file  in MPEG has very good video and audio quality.
    Facts:
    1. Camcorder: Panasonic AG-AC160AEJ
    Operating System : Windows 7, 64 Bit, Ultimate edition
    Source files: MTS files
    Recording settings (clip settings):
    Type: MPEG Movie
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Frame Rate: 25,00
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
    2. Sequence settings in Premiere Pro
    Sequence was created from Clip directly with settings above.
    3. Exporting settings in Adobe Premiere Pro:
    Match sequence settings was activated. Now other changes were set.
    4. Exported File:
    Video
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Data Transfer Rate: 25920 kBit / s
    Frame rate: 25
    Audio:
    Bit rate: 384 kBit / s
    Channels: 2 (stereo)
    Frequence: 48 kHz
    5. Transcoding settings in Adobe Encore:
    I used different transcoding settings such as automatic DVD Transcoding, CBR and VBR.I also set “use maximum render quality”. But all results were always the same: very poor quality.
    Why does the encore transcoding cause such bad video quality?
    How can I solve this problem?
    Please help me soon.
    Best regards.

    Hi Ann,
    1) I did not only „Automatic (based on source)“ options in my tests, but also many other customized options.
    The results are very poor. I have done a new test with the following settings. The result is also poor:
    Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_mpeg2dvd_1.m2v
    Export Settings:
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Preset: Custom
    Codec: MainConcept MPEG Video, Quality: 5
    Frame Rate: 25 fps
    Field Order: Upper
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Automatic (based on source)
    Render at Maximum Rate: [active]
    Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
    Minimum Bitrate (Mbps): 5
    Target Bitrate (Mbps): 9
    Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 9
    GOP Settings
    M Frames: 4
    N Frames: 12
    Use Maximum Render Quality: [active]
    Multiplexer: None
    2) Why shouldn’t I use the “Match Sequence Settings” in exporting? Because of the big output file size?
    I used it and the results are very good as I expected:
    Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_MatchSequenceSettings.mpeg
    Export Settings
    Match Sequence Settings [selected]
    1920 x 1080, 25 fps, Upper, Quality 50
    User Maximum Render Quality: [active]
    3) I tried also Dynamic Link in PremierePro (to Encore).
    The results are also poor.
    4) I will test also LagarithLoslessCodec and frameserving +DGMPGDec. But the video is vertical long drawn-ot.
    I think I did not use it correctly. 
    Regards

  • IIS7 configuration, blocked broadcast video stream from third party host

    I have a client that recently replaced a windows server 2003 with windows server 2008 R2 as their webserver.  This was a big change to IIS7.  An application that I developed for them has stopped working and I believe this is related to the IIS7
    configuration.  The application uses SilverLight technology to display a broadcast video along with some powerpoint slides.
    Here is the URL going to the server from a link on an html page. 
    http://iiscast.wlf.org/vod/broadcast/sctr01/0/start.html?media=http://iiscast.wlf.org/vod/broadcast/unit2.asx
    The iiscast.wlf.org is the public name for the IIS server.  When we click on the link it does properly display the start.html content but fails to connect to the video stream.  The video stream is hosted by a third party and the contents of the
    unit2.asx file has the url for that video stream.  When a put the
    http://iiscast.wlf.org/vod/broadcast/unit2.asx portion in IE it does properly display the video stream on mediaplayer.   All this worked prior to moving to the new server.   When I use F12 in IE to debug this, I see a brief message appear
    in the debugger that it is opening unit2.asx.  After that the debugging is very limited except I know I’m getting an exception in the silverlight and the video doesn’t display.   Other similar Silverlight apps on the same server that display
    archived video are working.
    Here is the content of unit2.asx
    <asx version = "3.0">
      <Title>Unit2 Bdct</Title>
      <entry>
        <ref href = "http://easylink.playstream.com/winlive/wlforg2.wvx"/>
      </entry>
    </asx>
    Playstream is a video stream hosting company.  When someone links to them, it pulls the video stream from my clients media server broadcast point. 
    wlforg2.wvx contains the link back to the media server broadcast point at my client.
    We have a lot of connections going on but keeping in mind that  http://iiscast.wlf.org/vod/broadcast/unit2.asx will display the video and
    http://iiscast.wlf.org/vod/broadcast/sctr01/0/start.html?media=http://iiscast.wlf.org/vod/broadcast/unit2.asx
    Is not displaying the video although all this worked on the old server.
    My guess is that something in the IIS7 is blocking this process.
    FYI the old server completely died so I can’t look into its configuration which was done in 2004 by someone else.

    This was entered in the iis.net forum as suggested.  The problem has been resolved.  The hosting service determined they had an edge server that was faulting.  Their edge servers were automatically assigned by geography which meant
    that depending on how/where we accessed the system for troubleshooting we used a different edge server.  Hence some tests always failed and others always passed.  FYI the hosting service had this problem for over a month and did not detect it
    themselves.  Fortunately we connected with a dedicated service technician late on a Saturday night and he figured it out.

    When i select the "Full Screen" option in video streams (like youtube, veoh, anything like that) i can do that one(1) time second(2nd) time the screen goes blank and can only exit it with the escape(Esc) button and then i have to restart firefox and again i have my one "Full-screen Ticket"

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Capturing, timestamping and saving a video stream from a webcam ?

    Hello everybody,
    Glad to be in this forum.
    I got to do a program in java doing :
    - a capture of a video stream from a webcam
    - adding time and date on it
    - saving the video stream in a video format compatible with linux and windows
    Is it possible to do that in java (using JMF I guess) ?
    Could anyone help me to progress on my project ?
    thx a lot
    agussi

    Hi agussi, yes, it's possible to do that in Java using JMF.
    I'm not a JMF expert, but I've found this code very useful: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=570463&tstart=50
    This piece of code shows the webcam stream and you can take snapshots with it. With a little tweak you can do what you are expecting.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can I see video stream from a website on my tv from my desktop with apple tv

    I am trying to watch a weekly video stream from a website using my Mac desktop on my tv with Apple Tv..can I do this?

    If your computer is a Mac and new enough (2011+) then maybe.  See required specs here:

  • HT3819 video stream from amazon prime to my TV

    i want to video stream from amazon prime to my TV  via my ipad, mac book using my apple TV device..

    there is no reason to get rid of Apple devices, not when a Chromecast, Roku, or FireTV can be acquired so cheaply. 
    This is a true statement, but this is a bad option in the long term since your content will be split between different sources, DRM rules, apps, access options, etc.  You are going to constantly be running into issues were you want to watch a show that is not available on the device (phone, tablet, etc) you are on.  I share "Disgusted_with_apple" frustrations in that Apple has not updated in three years now leaving Amazon FireTV and others with better interfaces and features but having my content locked into Apple's DRM.
    Apple was really first to market with a viable TV interface device, and has completely turned the market over to its competitors just by not showing up.  And now ATV can not play content, or provide features that ALL of the competitors have.   I recently bought an Amazon FireTV and love it.  The only advantage Apple has left is the iTunes Store still has more content, but that is not likely to last.

  • EA6300 cannot video stream from computer to Ipad on my local networt

    I was previously using Video Stream (from Connect3) to stream videos from my computer to my Ipad with no problem. I was using a WRT400n and now have upgraded to the EA6300. Now my Ipad can no longer acces the server on the computer. I tried port forwarding but that didn't work. I assume that some setting(s) on the router is blocking it. The computer is connected to the network using usb wireless. It was connected via cable when using the 400n.
    Computer IP 192.168.1.118, ipad IP 192.168.1.40. Does anyone have any idea why the Ipad and computer cannot connect?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you able to stream videos to ipad if you connect the pc to router using ethernet only? It may need driver update if it works fine when the pc is directly connected to router using ethernet.
    I can see that your router detected the ipad twice in the device list. In this case, try turning off your ipad. Once it is offline, remove it from the device list. Turn it back on, then go to connectivity and select local network. Click on DHCP reservation and reserve the ip address of the ipad. Check is streaming works after that.
    You may also need to check if the router's firmware version is up to date. In the Connectivity>Basic tab, click on check for updates button. Proceed with the update if it prompts for it.
    Another cause of this issue could be your Video Stream app. Try uninstalling/reinstalling this app or you may also try other video streaming apps like twonky.

  • How to acess a PTC camera video stream from DVR card/PCI-slot

    I have a security camera which i connected to PC using PCISLOT/DVR Card.
    My requirement is to get the video stream from this camera and show in my program using java
    if it is possible using java and how to do this.
    Thanks in advance

    Believe it or not, this isn't really a Java question. You should begin by looking around your camera manufacturer's website for Java APIs, then their forums if they have any, contacting support and so on. Hoping that a general Java community will know exactly what is required here is a bit pie-in-the-sky.
