Video playback freezes Xorg nvidia-340xx (340.46-4)

Hi all,
I recently updated by MacBook Pro (4,1) to the new legacy nvidia drivers because 343 doesn't support the integrated 8600M. I'm currently running 3.17.1-1, but I also had the problem on 3.16.4-1.
When I'm watching video in VLC X will freeze. The mouse pointer still works, but I can't click on anything, and everything besides the cursor stops updating. The only solution is to switch to tty and restart the login manager (slim, in my case). If you switch to tty and then back to X, the screen is black except for the cursor.
I'm running Enlightenment without compiz, using opengl as the render engine.
dmesg doesn't have anything from the kernel or the module about errors, oops, crashes, whatever. /var/log/Xorg.0.log also has nothing to indicate that something is happening.
I've tried to follow the instructions on NVidia's website to generate verbose VDPAU logs, but it would appear that doesn't work with VLC. I installed mplayer to try and get it to crash, but when I specify vdpau as the video output module there is no video displayed, so I'm guessing NVidia's instructions (which date from 2012) are outdated and no longer apply. Interestingly watching videos in Chrome (mp4 or webm) doesn't seem to crash X.
Anyone else having issues with video playback on the new 340xx drivers? This is really, really annoying, and I'm going to have to downgrade or switch to nouveau if the situation doesn't improve. Having X hard lock on me while watching video is not something I can live with.

The problem appears to be a memory leak in the NVidia driver. nvidia-settings shows that 99% of dedicated VRAM is used (254 of 256MB) while only running a few 2D applications. Disabling opengl rendering in enlightenment helps somewhat (83% VRAM used) but it's still a major regression from previous driver versions (<340.46) where the average used VRAM was ~40% while running productivity applications.
Has anyone else had issues with older GPUs an VRAM management on the 340.46 release?

Youtube video playback freeze

Hi,
I've been experiencing a lot video playback freezing, I've noticed it happens on youtube. It is not my internet connection, the video freeze even it's already been downloaded. It happens with all video resolution from 360P to Full HD, I've tried all majors Internet browser: Firefox, Safari, Chrome.
I have Leopard, a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM.
A 250GB HD with (at least) 10GB of free space.
It shouldn't freeze for so low quality videos.
Any help?
Cheers,
-- rafael

Do you have powered speakers or headphones plugged in?
If so, try unplugging them and seeing if it will play the video.
I started having this problem right in the middle of watching a video and it would freeze playback every time I plugged in my speakers. Internet searching yielded no results, but an OS software update from 10.6.2 to 10.6.4 fixed my problem. You say you have Leopard, so I am not sure if a software update is available for you, but check under the apple menu > Software Update. If there is an update related to the operating system, install that. It worked for me!

ITunes 9.0.2 video playback freezes temporarily at 9 second pointiTunes 9.0

iTunes 9.0.2 video playback freezes temporarily at the 9 second point. Playback resumes at around the 12 second point. The sound also pauses with the video. I've tried playing the same videos in Quicktime and they play fine. How can I fix this?

I have the same issue! Were you able to slove it? if so, how?

Video playback freezes - Lion

Hi there,
on my down time, I have been using my new 2011 MacBook Pro (with Lion) to play videos to the TV, through the display port. I have been using VLC for Mac.
I have had no problems until today.
The Video starts playing and then the screen goes off center and eventually freezes, the mouse works, but nothing else.
I played the video directly on the laptop, and the same thing happened.
To see if it was VLC, I downloaded another video player (MPlayerX) from the app store and the same thing happened. Did not try QuickTime as it did not have a codec for the AVI I was playing.
It is strange that it worked fine yesterday and not today. Do not remember doing any updates in the last few days.
I know people have mentioned this happening with Lion. Most of the posts I have read had to do with Desktops.
After it freezes there isn't much to do but reboot.
In one of the restarts it did create a report that was sent to Apple.
Can anyone suggest what I should do next?
Thanks a lot.
Walter

I have tried a two different file types (MKV, and AVI) using both players, and after a certain amount of time the screen would shift a bit to the right. I would see a black column, where the mouse could not go.
The video would freeze there, the audio would continue for a while, but the rest of the computer would be unresponsive, in some cases. One of two times, the mouse would work and I could click on some menu item.

Video Playback - Freezes Nano

I love being an early adopter....
Had video playing fine on my previous 3G Nano, got a new 4G one on release but when trying it for the first time at teh guym, noticed that the first film i tried ot play froze after a few minutes , I tried again and it froze...now this was a new film I hadnt tried on the 3G so I assumed it was a problem, so went back to a film that had played fine on the 3G and screen went black and I had to do a full reset.
Any ideas?
I have looked at the framerate and they are around 256kbps so the previous fix I found for a similar problem on the boards seems to be irrelevant Could understand if nothing woulf play, but they worked fine previously.
I'm wonderig if I had a bad one because it seems to be a little crazy whn trying to use the clickwheel in audio, wasnt sure if the accelerometer was confusing the controls as I seem to have the main problem when trying to move to coverflow.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the input so far.
Ok aome more info, the movies are ripped form my own DVD collection using the Jodix conversoin tool. All worked fine on the £g Nano I used up until last week.
Also this morning we gave another 4g Nano as a birthday gift, I checked the movies I had sync'd from itunes were working ok, which they were...then they too started freezing up. This is weird!
Any iodeas, is tere any sort of DRM setting I've missed?

Video Playback Freezes After 25-30 minutes

Hey everyone, I've recently run into a problem with my iphone. Any videos I watch freeze after about 25-30 minutes of viewing.
Basically, it'll pause without my doing anything, then I'll be able to hit play again, at which point it'll play for another 30 seconds or so before freezing again.
When I back out to the homescreen and replay, I get the same thing.
After I quit the ipod app in frustration, little snippets of sound will play randomly from different videos. It's really odd.
This is happening consistently with both video podcasts, rips from DVDs, etc. Any video after 25-30 minutes.
I've attempted to quit the ipod app, run the "free memory" app, all to no avail.
Any ideas?
Some details:
I'm running 3.1
I have about 775MBs of free space on the iphone.
Problems are occurring with both .mov and .m4v...
Thanks!

Well, well, well, iphone 3.1.2 just released and what do we see in the release notes?
- Fixes bug that could cause occasional crash during video streaming.
Here's hoping. I'm going to test it and see if this fixes my problem. I'll report back in an hour or so...

ITunes video playback freezing and out of sync from audio problem

There's one thing that bugs me more than the non-responses I get from Apple Support is when I try to watch a movie on iTunes and during the action parts or exciting scenes, the video freezes and pauses from the audio for a few seconds. It happens quite often during video play. How can this matter be solved and I can watch a movie that costs WAY too much to buy on iTunes and actually enjoy it for once? Anybody? Hello? Bueller?

Q? Are you using Quicktime to play the video on your PC or other video player like Real Player?
As some 3rd party players may not sinc right or you may have to download a newer codec.
I use GOM player and it works well on my PC for video from iPhone 4S.
Hope this helps.
Greg

Video playback freezes then all sound stops and video continues....grrrrrr

I know there has been various posts re this problem and after much reading have figured there's a prob with the 1.1 ipod updater software and the answer seems to be to degrade but what if your ipod is brand new (3 days old) and came with the 1.1 software where do I get the older version.
Is degrading easy enough to do or should I wait for a new version? Pls bear in mind I have only been using my ipod for 2 days and am not the brightest spark on the pc...lol!
Thanks in advance.
Packard Bell Windows XP iPod Video 60BG Black

I personally just did the downgrade to 1.0 and everything works fine. The only thing is that you have to use all of 1.0's features... like holding menu doesnt bring you back to the menu screen, it turns off the backlight... WHATEVER.
downgrading really does work. I had to erase all my songs and movies to do it but it only took a lil while to put them back on.
downgrading is really easy to do... if you have the 1.0 updater. The only way I can fathem YOU getting it is if you know someone who has an ipod that was released before 1.1 came out and using their CD.
heres how to do it:
uninstall the 1.1 updater
put in the CD
run the 1.0 updater from the CD (cddrive/program files/ipod/something something updater)
click restore
wait for it to finish
then (in theory) you should have 1.0 on there. It worked for me, but my ipod came with 1.0.
AND ive heard that this problem only effects 60GB models and movies converted with 3rd party software (ie VIDEORA or PSPVIDEO9). Both of which are superior if they would work with 1.1.

It's working for me, I'm on 340xx nvidia drivers and using sddm+plasma. I even have nouveau installed in parallel (blacklisted).
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm using the -ck variant of the kernel and the nvidia driver. libgl part is still the same though:

Video playback momentarily freezes often

I have a brand new Macbook Pro 13", 2.4 dual intel chip, 4 gigz ram, NVIDIA 9400M graphics card. I just freshly installed OSX 10.6.1. My preferred video software is VLC, but I have had the problem using quicktime and DIVX player as well.
When I try opening a video file, (.avi and .mkv mostly) the video sometimes plays fine for a good 15 minutes before starting to stutter, freeze, and glitch. Sometimes it does it right away, sometime not till the middle. It is very spontaneous. Most often the screen will freeze but sound keeps going, eventually the screen unfreezes and catches up with sound. I can still use the mouse, open other programs, move and open windows, the only thing affected is video playback. I also had a 13" Macbook aluminium which has 2.0 intel, only 2 gigz ram, and same video card but never had this problem, seems to be MBP specific.
I have made sure all my software is up to date, don't worry about caches and all that because it is a fresh new install of OSX.
Can someone please help me with this problem? Thanks for your time

Have you run software updates? There is one for 10.6.1
This article is perhaps useful:

It seems to be a problem with the firmware, and most users have replaced the graphics card to "fix" the issue.

2014.0.1 Update freezes video playback

Since downloading the 2014.0.1 update, my video playback will work for about 30 seconds and then will consistently freeze the frame right before moving onto the next clip. The audio continues to play from the next clip while the frozen frame is on screen.
Yesterday an Adobe helpdesk team member did the following:
-upped the ram available to premiere to 13gb instead of 11
-changed my Renderer to: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerator (OpenCL) instead of Mercury Playback Software only
However, this has not stopped the problem from happening.
Changing the resolution in the playback monitor from Full, to 1/2, or 1/4 does not fix the problem either.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Same, thought for sure the latest Pr update was going to fix it. Have had to resort to GPU Software mode which is spotty at best, but seems to work the longest in that setting before freezing. Now wasting time rendering, its like being back in FC7 with rending. What a waste of money and time. Will keep checking back to see if anyone has a figured this out. FYI: My MacPro Laptop 2013 with Nvidia graphics card with 16Gs memory has no problems with any of this, but it kind of defeats the purpose, since I thought I was upgrading to a faster better more powerful system.

DVD Player freezes video playback, but audio continues

Whenever I insert a DVD into my Macbook Pro, DVD Player starts playing the DVD's audio, but the video playback will only run if I have my mouse positioned at the bottom of the screen. If the mouse is moved anywhere toward the middle of the video, it freezes on the image while audio playback continues. This has happened with multiple DVDs and all run fine on any other player (VLC, etc).

I have the same issue fairly regularly with DVDs when played back using the Apple DVD Player app. The same DVDs work fine with VLC.
While rebooting helps, it doesn't actually fix anything. The same goes for resetting PRAM and other stuff. The problem persists, albeit intermittently. I've rebooted and have had a DVD exhibit the same exact problems right away. And then I try VLC and it runs fine.
There are three variables that I can point to...
Apple DVD Player application... as noted above, the issue does not occur at all with VLC
Memory... it's possible that the Apple DVD Player app hits on a bad stretch of memory, it causes this kind of problem. Still this points to the application as the issue does not occur in other playback apps.
Video Card... on my macbook pro it's the NVIDIA 320M. Again, the playback is fine in other playback apps, so this still points back to the Apple DVD Player app, but it's possible that it has issues with the video card
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I hope Apple will fix the problem, and I'm OK with using VLC until it gets fixed, but there is at least one feature of Apple's DVD Player app that I love... it remembers exactly where I was at even if I take the DVD out to play something else. VLC Player does not appear to have that functionality (at least not that I've found thus far).

IPod 5G Freezes during Video Playback

iPod freezes during video playback. Does anybody else have this problem?
Usually freezes up about 10 minutes into a video, and then complety locks up. This usually requires 2 to 3 restarts untill it comes back working properly.

Mine does the same. It really only happens to me when I try to navigate thru menus when video is playing. I usually have to do a forced Reset. I truly think that introducing video on the iPod was not ready for primetime as it is very sluggish, buggy and sensitive during playbabck of video. No problems with music whatsoever but I am frustrated with the very finicky video qualities of this thing.

P6180t w/ stock NVIDIA GT210 Video Card Freezes

I have a p6180t which I bought refurb from HP.
For the first 100 days (length of the warranty) the device frooze once or twice.
I applied for the upgrade program for Windows 7, and promptly installed the OS.
Ever since I have installed this Windows 7 OS, I have noticed freezing issues with my Nvidia GT210. If I am using my HDMI connection from my card to my TV, I notice that my video and audio freezes. If I am watching something on my DVI connected monitor with PC speakers, I notice that my video only freezes. When I removed my GT210 card and connected my monitor to my onboard video, I noticed no freeze ups.
Is this an issue anyone else has experienced? Could this be realted to Windows & driver issues? I have installed the latest driver from Nvidia. Any suggestons? This is happening all the time (during boot, 5 mins after boot, etc).
I checked my Bios settings and I do not see anyway to disable onboard video if that is the issue.

Did you look over the patches for your p6180t?
Check the Event Viewer log for critical errors.
Burn the below memory diagnostic and boot it up and see if your memory is clean.
Download memtest86 iso file and burn it to disk using Imgburn.
If your PC runs OK with the GT 210 removed then perhaps the card is faulty.

Video Playback Pauses, freezes on laptop

My Video playback (iTunes 6.0.5- G4 Laptop 15" titanium) constantly pauses and freezes at key points during playback. It will make it approx. half way through a show, then start jumping and freezing. Any Suggestions?
Thanks for any help

It's pretty annoying. 1/2 a show will play fine then all at once the pauses and spinning wheel is so bad that you can't watch the rest of the movie.
No answers or clues as of yet. I guess no one else has the problem.
