Video Streamed now Taking up 4.52gb

I streamed didn't download a purchased movie Guardian of the Galaxy. Now 4.52gb of space has been claimed by the movie and i have no way of getting rid of it. I have tried powering down. As well as force reset Home Button and Power Button. Please help me reclaim the space by telling me how to delete the I am assuming cached file.

Hi KmBreen,
It sounds like you’re running into a issue with storage capacity on your iPad since streaming a movie from the iTunes Store, and you’ve already tried some general troubleshooting.
Take a look at the article linked below and verify the storage space has been used with the instructions provided.
See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
If it appears there is a storage issue, try restoring your iPhone.

Detecting the optimal upload bandwidth of cam video stream (Dynamic Bandwidth Detection Approach)

Hello folks,
i am discovering the wide world of adobe technologies and i am impressed how seamless all is working.
Anyway i have a tricky problem, at least it seems tricky to me. Here we go: i build up a client (camera+audio conferencing) streaming its camera right to my server (red5). Every client can see the camera streams of each connected particpant. So far so good all is working as expected, we can call this a conferencing solution. Now i would like to improve that by implementing some kind of automatic bandwidth detection in order to adjust the video resolution depending on the current bandwidth "situation" of every participant. Some might have stronger upload bandwidth, some might have a bad or even too low upload bandwidth to even up-stream their video. My client should be able to handle them individually. Those clients who have a good upload bandwidth should be able to up-stream their video in the most high resolution as possible regarding their bandwidth. For those clients having a bad upload connection i assume to reduce their video resolution automatically. The aim behind this automatic bandwidth detection should be to give the most priority to the audio streaming by taking care to not overhelming the bandwidth with heavy camera usage.
I know there is upload speed tests (onBWCheck, etc), but i assume this test is annoying for the participants as well as they are not reflecting dynamic changes.
So lets say i start with a default camera resolution of 640 x 480 px for every client. What i need to know is in general two informtion in order to judge about the current bandwidth is enough for the currently up-streamed camera video:
1) the actual bandwidth used for the up-streaming camera video (based on specific resolution, quality and fps) which is of course dynamicly changing
2) the max. needed bandwidth which is necessary to perfectly up-stream the camera video regarding the specific resolution, quality and fps of the camera settings
So here is my current solutions:
1) the actual bandwidth: every second the currentBytesPerSecond() method of the NetStreamInfo object is of my uploading stream is called to get the currently used bandwidth speed (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/NetStreamInfo .html#currentBytesPerSecond). The documentation says about the currentBytesPerSecond() method: Specifies the rate at which the NetStream buffer is filled in bytes per second. I understood from that phrase that literally this is the amount of bytes filled into the network depending on the current network situation. I tested this by using bandwidth limitation and in fact the currentBytesPerSecond() returns the dynamicly changed amount of bytes sent through the network. So thats pretty OK.
2) the max. needed bandwidth: here i struggle. I have three principal ideas to know how much bytes/second are max. needed to up-stream the camera video to the server in a proper way:
* either by experience, which means i manually make several tests to know the max. bytes/second needed for every possible specific resolution, quality, fps (i discovered that different cameras can even produce different results with the same camera settings!)
* calculate the needed bytes/second (actually i use the H246 codec)
* or finally the most crazy but maybe most proper solution: beside the up-stream to the server the client streams additionally to the same client application over the localhost network. I find this last attempt the most interesting because it gives very practicaly accurate result how much bytes must be send because almost the bandwidth of the network through the internet isnt used either. The client sends a stream to himself over the internal network IP (localhost, 127.0.0.1). To achieve this i tried to let the NetConnection being connected to localhost and null and publish the video. But the stream didnt worked. Here is my code:
          private function init():void {
                nc = new NetConnection();
                nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
                nc.connect(null);
                ns = new NetStream(nc);
                ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
                ns.client = {};
                var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
                if (camera) {
                    videoDisplay.attachCamera(camera);
                } else {
                    Alert.show("You don't seem to have a camera.");
                ns.attachCamera(camera);
                ns.publish("streamname");
                mainTimer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, onMainTimerTickHandler);
                mainTimer.start();
            private function onMainTimerTickHandler (evt:TimerEvent): void
                info.text += Number(ns.info.currentBytesPerSecond / 1000).toFixed(2) + " kBytes (OUT)\n";
            private function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
                info.text += event.info.code+"\n";
The result is a connection success, but the stream didnt send any data due to the fact that ns.info.currentBytesPerSecond returns 0. Also strange is that the NetSteam or NetConnection didn't return any error.
So folks here i struggle and i ask does anyone out there have any hints or ideas how to solve this tricky one?
Thanks in advance,
Markus

Thanks,I have read that article. Based on that article the NetStreamInfo.maxBytesPerSecond is not an accurate measurement to base dynamic switching on. This seems to be the basis of the bitrate switching in both the longtail player, and the adobe examples that I have tried.   That article suggests using the dropped frames property, in conjunciton with bufferlength to determine if switching is neccessary. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a player online which handles this successfully. That being said, I can't believe I'm the only person trying to implement dynamic bitrate switching for live streams so surely there are some players out there which can do this successfully? If anyone knows of any code available which does this successfully I would appreciate knowing where! The examples provided by Adobe https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fms35 unfortunately don't work either.

Video streaming mixing

Hello!
I want have a live broadcast (like web TV) using Flash Media
Server. I taking video right from digital camera. My question is
how i can put over this video stream some image (channel logo) or
another video stream (for example breaking news line on the
bottom)? What i need for this?
Thanks

If you plan to game or do video editing stay away from HP, none of their video cards are up to the task and they will all run too hot.

NVIDIA GT 560 graphics card can handle most anything that's out there (for now). Notice how thick it is for improved air flow, if I remember correctly it has to cooling fans to get the job done.
Check out these others and you can also go to the Toshiba web site.

enough height.

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.

SpryTabbedPanel: Flash player in tabs do not play video streams

Note: I am a complete noob (no experience with Javascript and rudimentary experience with htlm/css). Please be patient (I hope that this is the correct forum for this) and know that I am appreciative of any help or solution that anyone can provide.
Using Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac OS 10.5.8
We recently switched all of our streaming servers from Windows Media (good riddance) to Flash Media Server 3.5 (now getting awesome H.264 quality in comparison).
I was asked to re-design this webpage with the aim of re-organizing the content so that it is more accessible:
http://www.librarymedia.net/VideoGallery.html
We used Adobe's test page for our first page:
http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/videoplayer.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.4/live/livestr eam&type=live&idx=10
This was meant as a temporary page to get us started, and as you can see, it needs work but at least it works.
I've been working the the final version of this page. My boss wants a tabbed web page with links to our video streams (tab for each category of streams).
This is what I have so far:
http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash2/videoplayer2.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.4/live/lives tream&type=live&idx=10
I realize that I had several options before building this. One, I could have made a separate page for each tab and linked them with a tab menu. In hindsight, this might have been a better option since I could have just copied the working page that we already have for each tab. Or I could have done what I have tried to do: to use Dreamweaver's SpryTabbedPanel to make the tabs and insert a Flash player with links into each tab.
The problem:
1. The streams do not play. The player says "initializing" and then "please enter a stream name and play". Please note that I used SpryURLutils to get each link to open in the appropriate tab.
2. After reading about the benefits of external vs. inline javascript, I took all of the inline javascript that was contained in Adobe's sample page and placed it in an external file. I tried placing the javascript back into the source code (inline), but this did not fix the problem. I guess there is a Javascript problem or I need extra Javascript code to get this to work. The javascript code is below. Use view source in your web browser to see source code. Please let me know if I need to provide more information.
Thanks.

>There is a sample application of the code included with the zip file which shows how to implement it.
The sample doesn't really tell me what I need to do to the code to make it work (I do not know javascript), and unfortunately, I have not found any helpful instructions/documentation online. You've given me the answer, I just don't know enough to implement it. This is what I've done:
1. Placed the FAVideo.js file in my site folder and linked it to the page: <script src="FAVideo.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
2. I added the following code (taken from the SimpleDemo.html example inside the FAVideo folder). My comments in bold. Page at
http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash2/videoplayer2.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Ol ympics2010_640x480.mov
         <! To the <body> section:-->
<body onLoad="">
    <div id="divOne"></div>
<!-Do I have to place the entire page within the "divOne" div (or just the section containing the tabs) in order for the javascript to work?-->
         <!-In the <head> section: -->
   <script type="text/javascript">
        playerOne = new FAVideo("divOne", "TabbedPanels1", "demo_video.flv",0,0,{ autoLoad:true, autoPlay:true });
    </script>
<!- I noticed that the body code added a div id called "divOne", so I added the "TabbedPanels1" div id to the above code thinking that this would apply the javascript code to all of the tabs. Dreamweaver adds <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels"> to the page when you insert the tabbed menu, so I'm thinking the javascript has to point to either one of those for it to work. The "demo_video.flv",0,0 code is probably unneccesary, right? As you can see, I'm completely clueless. -->
    <script>
        playerOne.addEventListener("playheadUpdate",this,myHandler);
        playerOne.removeEventListener("playheadUpdate",this,myHandler);
        function myHandler() {
            //alert("eh");

CTD bug in simple video streaming applet.

I'm trying to write a simple applet to use JMF to allow an end-user to view a video stream that's being served up by VLC. It doesn't have to look immensely pretty (in fact, streamlined is what I want most). I swiped some code from the jicyshout project (http://jicyshout.sourceforge.net) which handles streaming MP3s, and borrowed a framework for an applet from one of Sun's example applets for the JMF.
Here's my code so far:

Now, I'm still new to the JMF, so this might be obvious to some of you... but it's exploding on me, and crashing to desktop (both in IE and Firefox) with some very fun errors:

siginfo: ExceptionCode=0xc0000005, writing address 0x034e6360
(plenty more here, I can post the rest if necessary)
The problem seems to be coming from the "return seekStreams" statement in the first file; when I have execution aborted before that (with a fatalError call), it doesn't crash.
Any tips/hints/suggestions?

You should write your own Applet, where you can easily get the visual component (getVisualComponent())and show it directly in your Applet (you call it "embedded"). As far as I know, all examples (AVReceive* etc.) use the component which opens a new window.

No audio video streams upon import of .mov files?

Hi... recently upgraded OS onto Intel 240 GB SSD. Running Widows 7 64 bit, clean re-install, 24 GB RAM, NIVIDIA Quadro FX 4800. I have been trying to optimize the system for maximum GPU accelerated effects while also taking advantage of the high speed read and write of my disk. OS runs on SSD, Adobe media cache on separate 2 TB eSATA connection, Media stored on external drive USB 3.0. Without getting into the fine details this is a snapshot of my workflow.
The few problems I am encountering are some .mov files cannot be imported to PP. Error reads no audio or video stream in the files. I suspected metadata issues so tried to import with media browser and still no luck. These files worked perfectly before I began surgery 2 days ago on my computer. I have installed the latest version of quicktime and yet to no avail. Any recommendations here regarding my issue with imports or suggestions to benefit from my hardware would be appreciated.

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.

Links to the BBC News Player don't start video streams.

On the BBC News website there are numerous links to video news streams which should start playing in the BBC News Player (a new popup windows with either web content and a video stream in either Windows Media Player or Real Player format).
Whenever I go to the BBC News website (http://news.bbc.co.uk) and click a video link it:
1. Opens up the BBC News Player in a popup window.
2. Shows a short BBC News Logo clip of 3 seconds.
3. Then does nothing.
What it should do for step 3 is to play the relevant video stream.
I've tried this in several Mac browsers:
Safari (2.0.2) = FAILS (as described above)
Inernet Explorer (5.2) = WORKS (but without CSS the html looks messy)
Camino (0.8.4) = WORKS
Opera (8.0.2) = WORKS
Firefox (1.0.2) = WORKS
Q1. So why does it work in all the above browsers, but in Safari.
Q2. Do other people get it work in Safari or not?
John.

iBod,
I'm more baffled now! I created a couple of new accounts (one admin, one standard) and tried them. Both had the same outcome:
1. Started Safari.
2. Went to http://news.bbc.co.uk
3. Clicked link to display a video news clip (was one about dummies!).
4. BBC News Player window popped up, asking if I wanted Real Player or Windows Media. Chose Real Player.
5. Window refreshed with the correct video clip.
6. Quit and restarted Safari and tried again. OK.
7. Quit and restarted Safari and tried again. Not it fails persistently. (By fail I mean the player window comes up but the video clip is only a 3-second clip of a BBC logo.)
I tried the second new account and similarly. For the first few goes it works properly. After a few goes it fails.
John.

Video streams in some apps stop after some seconds (S6000)

Hi,
In the apps DEL and Laola1.tv, video streams start with the first ~5 seconds, then stop, then repeat once and then stop.
Problem does not occur with android phone or laptop in the same wlan. Other streaming like youtube works fine.
Any hints or ideas greatly appreciated.
Lenovo IdeaTab S6000, Android 4.2.2
Thanks,
Sven

I already have radeon.modeset=0 on the end of my kernel line, I think I disabled KMS a month or two ago when it was (very briefly) enabled by default. IIRC my system was very broken with KMS enabled back then, I haven't tried turning it back on.
I've found xf86-video-ati-6.12.4-3 to work, and xf86-video-ati-6.12.192-1 not to work, irrespective of ati-dri version. I've just noticed 6.13 seems to be out, so I may try building that with ABS, and see if it fixes it.
EDIT: or maybe I won't, as that needs xorg 1.8 and I don't have enough time to build that and all it's deps just now
For now I've just set pacman to ignore the package, which works as a temporary solution. Are there any diagnostics I can do to help pin down the problem?

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.

Video stream choppy on imac G4 powerPC

Hi all. sorry if this answer was submitted before. I found some explanations but i still need to know exactly what is going on. I have imac 20" 1.25 ghz 1gb ram 64mb geforce 5200..i am running mac os 10.4.11 tiger..... Why is all video streaming so choppy and unwatchable? i have installed flash 10.1 , using firefox...i cant downgrade to flash 8 because the video i watching online requires flash 10. Do i have any chances that i can fix somehow this video streaming problems? youtube is fine only on the lowest quality. I have this imac cos my laptop is broken but i did not know that is is so bad with video streaming..
I have dome some cache, history and other cleaning but it did not help.. safari is even worst than firefox.
So any suggestions good people?

Make sure you are using the latest .....
RealPlayer
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player http://perian.org
Perian (AVI and FLV support)
MPEG Streamclip
Adobe Flash Player Software
As others have reported, max out your RAM.
Type of internet service?
Choppy YouTube Video Solution
Download the latest flash player from Adobe. After installing, repair permissions & restart your computer.
Go to YouTube, open any video and press pause (don't do this while video is playing). Click the ctrl key or “right click” the mouse in the middle of the video window. The settings for flash player will pop up.
Select the video settings then select "enable hardware acceleration." Press close. Now RESTART YOUR COMPUTER not just Safari if that is your browser of choice.
Good luck!

WVC80N Video Stream not displaying on iOS6 browsers

I updated an iPhone and iPad to iOS6 yesterday. Now my Linksys WVC80N video streams will not display on both Safari and Chrome browsers.   On Safari if I go to the Camera "Home" page then use the browser Back button to the View Video page then I can get a still from the camera. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

I just checked the release note of this firmware 1.0.01. Perhaps, you can try another browser for isolation before updating the router. That might be a browser problem (maybe not supported yet).
