Video Streaming - How to stop buffering time?

Hi
I am trying to watch a tv show I missed on NBC,
"age of love" but the replay stops every minute
to download more video I think. How do I improve
the performance so I can watch the show without
the constant interruption?
thanks in advance

I don't know the speed of the connection.
4-10 users usually.
.11b or .11g I don't know.
microwave nearby - I don't know
5-6 other wifis - yes
I will try Safari, thanks!
Thanks for the update. The speed of the Wi-Fi in the
coffee shop will depend on many factors. What is the
speed of their connection to the Internet? How many
people are sharing the Wi-Fi? Is it 802.11b or
802.11g? Do they have a microwave operating nearby?
That will often interfere. Are there additional Wi-Fi
networks nearby? That can interfere as well. It's
possible that it was their network that's causing
your trouble. But, to rule that out, did you try
using Safari instead? You might make sure you have an
up-to-date version of the Flash player which you can
get at http://www.adobe.com
I have Clearwire
at home, it's basically like wireless DSL. It's not
as fast as cable Internet access, but it is portable.
I only mentioned it because it would indicate that
you don't need cable speed to watch the videos
without buffering.

JMF - client server video streaming how to stop

Hi
I am able to stream video from a server to multiple clients using AVReceive2 and AVTransmit2 from the JMF site.
Iam developing a client server project. I have modified the above code such that Iam able to start and stream the videos by calling on servlets and socket connections.
The AVTransmit2 code does not however have a stop button and it uses a thread.sleep method. I do not know how to add a stop button in the GUI on AVReceive2 to call on AVTransmit2.
I am using sockets to communicate to and from the server. Do i have to use RMI or is there another easier way to call stop from the client which would stop the transmission on the server?
Also, after the video file has been successfully streamed, when I refresh and try to connect again, the server is invoked and __it starts transmission_,_ but the servlet which calls the AVReceive fails and the frame does not show. Any possible reasons why?
Thanks in advance.

Video Gallery, How to Stop overlapping streams when user navigates to next item? Bug or syntax?

My NASA Multimedia News App is exhibiting behavior that I would very much like to change. The app is in the store at
http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/nasa-multimedia-news/7e74f3fb-b550-4ac6-b437-388f034ee6df
If you look at one of the three video galleries, here is the scenario:
1. Start one of the videos, for example the most recent one.
2. without MANUALLY pausing the first video and before it finishes, scroll to the next item in the same gallery and PLAY it.
3. two streams are now playing, audio overlapping.
4. move on to the next item in the gallery OR GO TO A DIFFERENT PAGE/SCREEN, cover your ears....
in fact the stream needs to stop if you navigate away from it by either starting a different video in the same gallery or when you navigate to a different screen/page in the app. and it doesn't.
5. in fact, if you close the app by dragging it down and don't final close it by drag/hold flip or using taskmgr, if you re-open it the multiple audio streams will still be playing from where they left off.
I don't honestly know if it is the video control or something I didn't do in the syntax (or even if something CAN be done), but with the overlapping cacophony that results, it is less than optimal. My expectations/hopes, were that if one stream was already
playing, that moving to a new item and starting THAT stream would automatically terminate the original one that was playing so that only a single audio stream can be heard.
I hope the issue is clear.
Is this a bug? If it is by design, ugh. And is there a work around?

Thor, it is my NASA Multimedia App - I resubmitted it last night and I guess a
different tester got it and the update went through. But the issue still exists.
The difference between what I have in my app and that other thread is that I
have a video GALLERY as opposed to individual players. I did try messing around
with that syntax
UpdateContext({videoPause: false}); UpdateContext({videoPause: true});
Navigate(scrHome, ScreenTransition!Fade)
But it didn't work between screens in my App and anyway, half of the issue is
that it wouldn't work on a single screen that contains a video gallery that has
say 10 videos, there is no OnSelect function used. I tried experimenting to see
if I could get syntax working at least for when the navigation is to a different
screen, but it doesn't work for me. Probably because it is a gallery.
Hoping that Robin has a solution...

How to stop swing timer

Hello,
I use Swing timer in my application but it seems that timer.stop() does not work. I put System.out.println("hello") in the method that is the timer's actionlistener and even after I call timer.stop(), it keeps printing "hello". Is there any thing other than timer.stop() that I should do to stop the timer?
Thanks a lot

ladybean wrote:
Thanks a lot for your reply. Well I only have one timer in the code. Another funny thing that is happening is that the timer gets faster over time. As you and I both know, this shouldn't be happening. I believe that you have one Timer variable, but are you sure that you don't have more than one Timer object? Again, this is just a SWAG, but this would also explain the increased speed over time.
I set the delay time of 1 second but I see that my animation moves faster over time. The reason that I don't upload code is that it's really long and complicated. Maybe I should make it simpler and upload it. This is a very very good idea. We have a construct that's often used here called a SSCCE or "Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example" that helps guide folks in creating a small compilable and runnable version of their problem, and often helps them to see their error for themselves (there's a lot to be said for simplifying the problem to examine it). Please have a look at this link for more details: [http://sscce.org/]
Thanks again though. :)You're welcome. Oh, and if you do resolve this on your own, please post back to let us know what happened and why. Best of luck!

How to Stop the timer in the TimedTrigger UI element when an event occurs

Hi all
I have a webdynpro View where i have many UI elements(which supports an event) along with TimedTrigger UI element.
Now my requirement , i want to check at single line if any event happens in the View then i want to stop the timer in the TimedTrigger UI element.
can you please provide any peace of code related to this??
Thanks
Bindu

Hi Bindu,
From help.sap.com:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/03/7c6b40dde0980ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
To prevent events being triggered by UI element TimedTrigger, proceed as follows:
1. Disable the action that is bound to the UI elementu2019s onAction property.
Can be done as:
wdThis.wdGet<Your_TimedTrigger_action>Action().setEnabled(false);
2. Set the value of the delay to 0 seconds
As suggested in previous post to this thread.
3. Disable UI element TimedTrigger
Create a boolean type of context attribute and bind it to the "enabled" property of the Timed Trigger. Set its value to false to disable the timed trigger.

Alka.

How to stop my Time Machine external hard drive preventing iMac from sleeping?

I have a late 2012 iMac, and have discovered that sometimes (I haven't noticed a pattern of when it doesn/doesn't happen) the computer will immediately wake up after I set it to Sleep (Apple Menu>Sleep). Through elimination I have found that it is the the USB 3.0 external hard drive I use as a Time Machine back-up that is the culprit; unplugging it then allows the computer to sleep. If I unplug it, then plug it back in later on, this normally solves the problem for a while, but not forever. This same Hard Drive didn't cause the wake problem on my previous '08 iMac.
A big issue is that when the machine immediately wakes from sleep, the display stays off (until I move the mouse) - this is good from a power saving point of view, but means I don't know if/when the machine is immediately waking from sleep (I have to listen to the fan when setting it to Sleep mode to hear if it has actually woken back up).
I've searched the forums, but can't find another poster with the same problem as myself. Can anyone advise a course for me to pursue to prevent this from happening?
Thanks. Jamie

Hi Frank. Nope, I'm still having the same symptoms; the plugged in external drive (TIme Machine) will wake the machine up a couple of seconds after it winding down when put to into sleep mode. Ejecting the drive and then sleeping the machine works. After plugging it in again to do a Time machine backup, it will allow the computer to sleep soundly for the first few sessions (eg a few days of sleeping, waking, sleeping, waking, etc), but then it will then suddenly start preventing it from sleeping again after a while.
It seems I'm fortunate in my case that the display stays dark (or off?) when the machine has been woken from sleep, but this was actually preventing me from knowing the machine wasn't in fact asleep for quite some time; I only eventually cottoned on because there wasn't any delay when 'waking' my machine (which there normally is). I would then have to carefully listen to the spinning fans to know if in fact it had gone to sleep or not.
So, to summarise, unfortunately no, I haven't solved this yet. If anyone else has a solution, please let us know?
Also, I've noticed occasionally after waking that there is a relatively quiet 'crackle' sound (kind of electrical sounding) from the bottom-right area of the machine. This goes on every so often for about 30mins. I see this is also an issue with other people's late 2012 iMacs, but I've not seen if anyone has a solution to it?

How to stop Timer event inside movie clip that does not exist?

Hello. I am using Adobe Flash CS6.
As this topic title says. how to stop Timer event nside movieclip that does not exist?
I mean my fla stracture is there are 2 frames on main timeline, and I put mcA on frame 2.
And I put a button on root that does
if(currentFrame ==1)
gotoAndStop(2);
else if (currentFrame ==2)
gotoAndStop(1);
And mcA has AS inside and it is
var T_Timer:Timer = new Timer(1000,0)
T_Timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, test)
function test(e:TimerEvent):void{
trace("Timer active")
T_Timer.start();
I need to stop T_TImer from root on frame 1, not on frame 2.
but, "mcA.T_Timer.stop();" won't work.
I get TypeError: Error #1010 error.
I don't know how to stop this timer event. I have to stop it from root, and I can't use EVENT_REMOVED in this case.

If the object doesn't exist you cannot do anything relative to targeting it. Maybe you should move the timer to the main timeline where you can access it any time.

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.

Try troubleshooting the Flash plug in...
Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS

Videos stop buffering/streaming until refresh (BBC iplayer/Youtube etc).

This problem appears to have come out of nowhere.
If watching a video on youtube I can watch it for quite a while then it will stop streaming, the grey bar stops getting longer. It then just shows the buffering circle continuously and doesn't continue unless I refresh the page and resume from where I was stuck.
This happens on Youtube and on BBC iPlayer, although I assume it must happen elseware, but I don't use anything else to know this.
I've tried reinstalling flash and Java, using Chrome, Firefox and IE, it happens on them all. My internet connection can't be the issue as a laptop on the same network has no problem whatsoever and the BBC iPlayer test shows I am way over capable of streaming HD videos.
Please help!
Thanks
David

@David_VI & @Chris Campbell:
Exactly the same problem here:
01) Starts after Adobe Flash Player upgrade to the last version.
02) Same problem with Internet Explorer and Firefox (both last versions).
03) Same problem with both Antivirus (NOD32) and Firewall (Comodo) uninstalled.
04) Same problem with Ad Blocker Plus uninstalled (AdBlock Plus).
05) I've tried to uninstall AFP version 11.4.402.278 and install an old version (10.3), but the problem persists.
No problem with the above HTML5 video sample from Chris, but the video streaming stops with the Non-HTML5 video sample.
All the published possible solutions on other websites and forums (and the complaints are many) are not working (cleaning caches, cookies, and the like).
My System: Windows 7 64-bit, Service Pack 1, Internet Speed Connection: 50 MB/s.

Why is my ipad2 not buffering videos streaming from web as quickly as it can play them and keep making my videos stop playing?

When I try watching videos streaming from itunes or u tube or any streaming source the ipad2 does not buffer the videos as fast as they are being played. This makes the videos stop playing within a few seconds after they start and I have to continuously hit the play button to watch videos in bits and pieces. This makes the streaming of videos on this device virtually impossible.

You may be having some problem in your local network or your internet connection is not fast enough to properly stream the videos.
What type of internet connection are you using (cable, DSL, etc?)
What sort of local network do you have? router make/model, etc.
What other traffic is on your network?

How can we delete a video stream of a webCamSubcriber

Hi guys
I m facing a problem that when i start video chat with some one, it goes fine.... but after then, when i close the video chat and starts with another person ... it will show three streams!!! two are in running condition and the third one is static just like image.... even if i start chat with the same person.. it will show the previous stream as well as the new streams.. and this process is going on and on to..... one stream adds every time i start video chat... (within a session).
so any body can tell me how to delete a video stream of a webCamSubscriber.
Thanks
Abdul Aziz

Hi Hironmav
I m using webCamPublisher and when i say that i close the video chat it means I call the method webCamPub.stop() and at that time all the streams are disapear but after then when i again start the chat by webCamPub.publish() method it displays the current streams as well as the previous one.!! so my question is how to get rid of previous streams which ideally should be deleted when i call the webCamPub.stop() method.
waiting for your reply
Thanks

How do I increase video streaming speed on mobile?

I have a new Azure acct where I have uploaded many videos/blobs into one container. So far my Azure Media service/storage has 10560 MB of video content. I'm working on a phone app so its not live yet, no one is watching/no traffic. But when I play to test
the video directly in the url generated by the "source video" (Mp4) my videos are stopping to buffer when I watch them on my phone using my data connection. It's not a problem with my mobile device or service provider because when I watch youtube
or facebook etc their videos work fine, they don't ever pause.
The Azure videos streams better only when I watch the videos with the phone's LTE feature on or perfectly when I'm connected directly to my office internet service/wifi. I don't want my future viewers to have any delays when watching my videos on the road
when they're using their cellular data connection. Therefore:
1) Where do I go in my Azure to fix this issue, what feature ?
2)And when I do get traffic what else do i need to increase if different? I read this under but I don't know if this applies to my case and what each unit will do because I increased the streaming units from 1 unit 200mbps to 3 units 600mbps but that made
no difference.

Hi Manu,
I saw your links thanks but you did not answer my questions.
We have no problems in streaming the videos blob type, storage type, storage version, cache etc and we're not looking to use smooth streaming or much less Silverlight etc.
I was talking about VIDEO SPEEDS in IN A MOBILE DATA CONNECTION. See Azure's "video test" page under and see how they also buffer/constantly stop in a mobile data connection. So it's not me it's AZURE!
The issue we're having I believe is between the video's speed play between "Azure servers" and an ISP company, example "Verizon Wireless". So being that a "mobile phone data" connections is slower than a "direct" (non-open
public) "wifi" connection, Azure should compensate their connection speeds for these connections. Some time ago it was known that ISP Verizon etc were slowing down video speeds from Netflix etc. mashable
article. I don't think we're at that level, but I think Azure speeds are not compatible to play on mobile "data" connections.
so question is ...What are the Azure delivered speeds ? and who can so something about it?
**Test these 2 links on your cell's "data connection" and then compare with your home/office connection and see the difference.
Also then just play a youtube or facebook, vimeo and see how they perform well on your data connection but Azure test page video does not.

How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios

How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios?
I have tried a lot of different ways but i cant figure it out?
I can get the sound and animation (timeline) to start playing.
There is no problem to start the video and the animation at the same time.
But i cant get both the video and the audio to start playing when i press a button.
It works great in OSX and on windows?
Here is an example:
// insert code for mouse click here
// Play an audio track
sym.$("_1")[0].play();
// Play a video track
sym.$("host")[0].play();
// Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
// sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
sym.play("marker1");

If the game has sound in it (and possibly even if it doesn't) it may be overriding the Music app and causing it to stop playing - in which case there is nothing that you can do about it.
