Video Audio will not stream via express

Hi - Using iTunes, I am able to stream music and podcast audio to my Apple Hi-Fi speakers via Airport Express. However, VidoeCast, TV Shows and purchased movies will not stream... am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround?

Streaming movie audio only is quite different from streaming both audio and video. The problem comes in the prebuffering that's necessary to keep the audio from skipping, which makes the audio lag behind the video. To keep them in sync, the AirTunes protocol would have to be considerably more complex: iTunes would have to be able to advance the video ahead of the audio by a predictable amount to ensure that they don't fall out of sync. I can see Apple's point for not supporting it since the Express is intended as an audio device and was never intended for the audio associated with video.

    Try turning IPv6 ON in your network preferences - this is helping SOME people with this problem. It won't help you at all if your network router doesn't do IPv6.
    To turn on: go to Network Preferences, select the interface you use, under teh TCP/IP tab click 'Configure IPv6', and choose 'Automatic'. Save changes.

  • ITunes 11.01 on Windows 8 audio will not sync with video

    I have a new computer that is running Windows 8, and I have had no issues with iTunes 11.01 thus far on it other than the fact that when playing videos, the audio will not sync up with the video.
    With the ineptitude that seems to define Apple as of late, there does not seem to be any actual support for Windows 8, and the "support" channels do no good at all.
    Any ideas as how to fix this problem?

    I think Microsoft  made the Windows 8 incompatible with Apple products on purpose, they want windows users to have to download apps from their paid service which is more expensive than Apple's App/iTunes Store

  • ITunes will not stream audio to AppleTv.

    Since I upgraded to Yosemite iTunes will not stream audio to AppleTv. IPhone and iPad running iOS8 works fine.

    Hey there Klausnorgaard,
    It sounds like AirPlay is not functioning correctly between iTunes on your computer, to your AppleTV but iOS devices work without issue. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article, named:

  • Video Podcasts Will Not Sync; Audio Podcasts Do

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to the ios 5. Now when I sync my iPhone to iTunes, my video podcasts will not sync. I have not changed any of my settings, and I noticed "All podcasts" is selected under Podcasts section. Audio podcasts sync fine. All was fine until I did the recent software upgrade. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

    They are there.  They are now under the "Video" app on the first page of your device.  Seems like a pointless change to me.  It took me a couple of days to find mine, too.

  • Videos work fine, but when view in ITunes Video/Audio are not Synced up

    Hello,
    Im not sure how to get around this but at the moment im converting my DVDs to mp4 format to view through itunes/appletv.
    The MP4 files work fine when watched in Windows Media Player or VLC Media but when i watch it through ITunes the video/audio is not matching up.
    How can i fix this?

    Hello
    When I try to play H264 format Movie files via iTunes (9.0.2.25) or Quicktime Player (7.6.5) the audio is half to a full second ahead of the video.
    I have tried multiple H264 format videos and they all have the same problem.
    If I try playing the same files in Windows Media Player then the video and audio is all in sync as it should be.
    I have tried multiple machines, Windows 7, Vista and XP, all of which show the same issue.
    Any help in resolving this issue would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

  • TS3623 Apple TV3 will not stream movies

    My Apple TV3 will not stream movies and it takes a very long time for music to stream from my MacBook. I readjusted the resolution settings and it was the same thing. It gives me an "error occurred loading this content; try again later" message after spending several minutes of buffering after I try to play movies. 
    I have high speed 15 mbps Mediacom internet, which has never had any issues. I called Mediacom and they said my connectivity was excellent. I have reset my router/modem/AppleTV to no avail.  My homesharing is on and I have followed all other recommendations I could find on Apple forums concerning this same issue.
    I am going to return this product for a Roku if I am not offerred a solution on the matter.
    Apple, I hope you realize this is not an isolated incident.

    From where? Internet or local iTunes library?

    I appreciate your frustration, but remember we are fellow users here, and you are not talkingto Apple support directly.
    If you are connected via wifi try using ethernet if you can to rule out a wifi issue.
    My AppleTVs are very stable with internet or LAN streaming 99% of the time, but since yesterday they have all behaved oddly - weird!

    I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

    Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
    The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.
    Take your time, study and use the > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions if you get stuck or aren't sure how to make the move.

  • TS2972 Itunes Library will not stream to apple TV

    I can find my itunes library on my apple TV, but it will not stream. it just continues to buffer, and does not load the movie. Is there a way to fix this? Everything used to work just fine before today.

    Solution:
    I had the same problem.  Apple TV worked, because I could stream the BBC iplayer from my iPad, it was just iTunes that was the problem.  However, I just downloaded the latest Apple TV update and bingo!

    First night I was able to watch 2 TV shows (45 min each) with no problems, but thereafter programs will not stream without constant pause to buffer. Weather conditions are ideal and my internet comes from crappy hugesnet, but worked fine the first night.

    The speed may have been ok at that time and is too inconsistent/too slow overall. interference may have proven to be more of an issue since as well. If using public DNS that will provide Intermittant results
    I'm sure using a hotspot would be fine but it depends on your viewing habits. An HD movie is around 4-5GB. It would also be subject to speed. requirements so best to test to see how it compares.
    You would have to check with your Carrier if hotspot it's enabled then just to into your settings and toggle it ON

  • Cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

  • Will Not Stream

    My Apple TV has been having a very weird problem since I got it a year ago. It works outstanding at my apartment without changing any settings on my router or my computer. It streams, syncs, etc.
    Anytime I move both my Mac Mini (the server) and the AppleTV to my parents house, however, everything gets messed up. It still syncs just fine, but it will not stream. Unless the movie/tv show you are trying to watch is synced to the appletv hard drive, it will just try to buffer and not get anywhere. I have completely turned off the firewall of the router (Belkin N+) and even put the Mac Mini in the DMZ. I don't imagine it is a problem with the Mac Mini, as the whole system works great when I go home. The only change is the router I'm using, and the ISP my parents have.
    Also, the Mac Mini will connect to the internet/get email/surf just fine. The AppleTV Network Test runs successfully.
    Any help would be really great. Thank you!

    It's possible the Mac's firewall is blocking it, since the network address has probably changed with the different router. I don't recommend running without a firewall any longer than it takes to test it, however.
    I know you said the firewall on the router was off, but I suggest assigning a static IP address on the router to the ATV's MAC address and then set up port forwarding to and from the ATV's static address on the necessary ports. If the router is properly configured, it should work.
