Video streaming stalls after first several seconds for all sites.

This is for a friend's Win7, 64-bit computer. Since upgrading to FF 7.0.1, any time she streams a video (YouTube, Netflix, Vimeo) it will play the first ten seconds or so then stop streaming. It says buffering, but never buffers.
This happens in FF, but not IE.
When it happens, going immediately to SpeedTest.net shows speed peaking to correct bandwidth from ISP then immediately stalls, never completing the speed test.
Cache, cookies, etc, have been cleared. Flash/Silverlight have been cleanly reinstalled. No change.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    I have a feeling that it may have started after upgrading to ios6.

    Hi,
    Is this failing with Error 20 ?
    Sometimes in a the router or modem if you use Port Forwarding then you are your Buddy may be missing the Screen Sharing Port.
    The Screen Sharing part uses a different port to the Audio port.
    As the port for Audio (And therefore Video) are known and can be port Forwarded it is the random Screen Sharing port that can be the problem.
    iChat 3 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507 that includes Bonjour and Jabber info
    iChat 4 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2282
    If you are not using (or your Buddy) UPnP then I would change the method of opening the port to that.

    My share operation failure occurs after about 5 seconds for DVD and Apple Devices.  I can share to a master file, but without audio.  Help?
    It has error number -50.

    If it only happens with this project, it's probable some media files have become corrupted.
    Those may be render files. Make sure background rendering is off. Select the project in the browser and from the file menu, choose Delete Project Render Files; choose All from the dialog. Without rendering,try exporting.
    If that doesn't work, use an optimized version of your DSLR clips. (Right click on the clips in the browser and hit Transcode.)

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    I run vi's continuously for a while. If you don't do that, you will only see the total time of that particular vi. Also switch to microseconds.

    i don't want to have to ZOOM every site i visit, how do i save my zoom setting for all sites?

    ''how do i save my zoom setting for all sites? not for each site I visit''
    That would be be impossible unless you did away entirely with page formatting entirely. Each author may have their own idea of what you should be seeing and how you are to see it. By site which is the default is about the best that you can do.
    If you have a serious problem you could change the resolution of your display, but it had better be a very large monitor.
    '''NoSquint''', adjust the text-only and full-page (both text and images) zoom levels as well as color settings both globally (for all sites) and per site. Toolbar buttons, percent displays on status bar.

  • CF10 enterprise - how to disable cfexecute for all sites (sandbox)

    Hello,
    I have a new CF10 server which I will be using as shared hosting for my clients.
    I would like to disable the following tags and functions globally:
    TAGS
    CFCONTENT
    CFFILE
    CFDIRECTORY
    CFEXECUTE
    CFOBJECT
    CFREGISTRY
    FUNCTIONS
    GetProfileString
    SetProfileString
    CreateObject
    I know in CF10 Standard I can block these for all sites using 'resource security', this will stop these tags from running at all.
    In CF10 Enterprise I have the option to create multiple sandboxes, but is it possible to create one global sandbox for all sites?
    My directory structure looks like:
    D:\sites\site1
    D:\sites\site2
    D:\sites\site3
    Can I create a sandbox disabling the above tags and functions just for D:\sites and all subfolders?
    I have tried but it does not seem to work - I have a sandbox setup for D:\sites with the above tags and functions disabled, but using a test script I can still use cfexecute in site1 to execute netstat.
    I do not wish to create a sandbox for each site as when new sites are added I would need to manually add a sandbox each time.
    If anyone has any ideas it would be most appreciated.
    Cheers
    Luke
    ( I have asked this in a different place on the CF forums as got no response, i think because I placed it in the wrong place. Sorry if this double post upsets anyone but I need some help!)

    D:\sites\site1
    D:\sites\site2
    D:\sites\site3
    If you define the sandbox to sites folder, then the settings also apply to sub-directories (as the sub directories will inherit the property from parent).
    It is working at my end perfectly fine.

    Thanks

  • Powershell script to get Audit log settings for all site collections.

    Hi all,
    I am facing issue to get audit log details for all site collection across the farm with the below script. Could someone help me change the script.
    Function AuditValue($url)
    $site=Get-SPSite $url
    auditMask = $site.audit.auditflag
    return auditMask
    Get-SPSite -Limit All | Get-SPWeb -Limit All |
    Select Title,Url,AuditValue(Url)| export-csv "D:\scripts\Test\AuditDetails.csv" -notypeinformagettion
    Thanks Basva

    What errors are you getting? That is if any.
    Scrap that I see a few.
    Not had time to fix it fully. As I am now done at work, but this will help you on your way. It gets back only the audit flag value at the moment.
    Function AuditValue
    $site = Get-SPWeb "http://server" -limit ALL
    foreach($i in $site)
    $auditMask = $site.audit
    $list = $auditMask
    $list | Select-object auditflags
    AuditValue | out-file "C:\temp\AuditDetails.csv"
    EDIT::
    Function AuditValue
    $site = Get-SPWeb "http://SERVER" -limit ALL
    foreach($i in $site)
    $auditMask = $site.audit
    $list = $auditMask
    $list | Select-object @{Name="URL"; Expression ={$site.url}}, auditflags
    AuditValue | out-file "C:\temp\AuditDetails.csv"
    The above will also put URL

  • Video streaming stops after partial download on apple tv

    Hi. I've got wild blue internet, an HP Pavilion running iTunes in Windows XP, an airport extreme base station, apple tv, and a macbook. I've had the apple tv for about 7 months, connected over wireless. I've never been able to watch youtube videos. They partially load and start playing, but only go about half way and stop. They almost never fully load. I can watch the same video on the macbook over wireless, and it works just fine. I had assumed it was an apple tv problem, and hoped the new software update would fix it. It hasn't. Same situation, except now it's worse because I'd actually like to watch trailers and rent movies, but they still only partially load.
    Content on the HP computer syncs properly with ATV. I can watch the movies and listen to the music just fine. It's only content that streams from the internet that messes up, and only with apple tv. I also wondered if the satellite internet was a problem, but if it is, it's only with apple tv. Youtube and movie trailers work fine on the macbook over wireless.
    Any ideas?

    Hello Winston,
    I was initially just trying to watch ANY trailers. Virtually everything on ATV stalled after a minute or so. Switching to exclusively wireless n transmission from the AEBS seems to have fixed everything. We haven't tried to download movies, but probably won't since we're on satellite internet and have a fair access policy that limits our downloads to 17 gig a month. That's plenty for youtube and other normal usage, but I'm afraid too many movies would mess things up.
    Wildblue has a configuration utility that we can set up on the computers, but nothing like that for ATV. I had thought that might be the problem originally, so I used a macbook (2.0 CD) that hadn't run the configuration setup, and it still worked fine for youtube stuff.
    I didn't know things were streaming from different sources, when I was trying to watch the same video. Makes sense though. Thanks for the reply.

  • Video streaming stalls in full screen mode

    I'm not sure to be in the right category, but my Laptop runs in Tiger and I happen to use video streaming from different websides like ESPN Live and other websides with their own players. I use even some that require a program dowload to be able to see their content. By all those sources the video runs pretty smooth in a normal size. As soon as I put it to full screen it stalls in a certain rhythm no matter if the whole program is buffered or not.
    I achieved better results with one of the providers using WMP that via flip4mac streams into Quicktime. Just don't know if and how I could incorporate those other webside players into Quicktime. And if this would be the solution.
    I freed up some of my HD to achieve better performance. Have 18 GB free out of 100.. is this too little ?
    Do I need a better video card ?
    MacBook Pro (Intel) 100 GB 2.16 GHz 1.677 GB RAM

    Ba,
    It may be of interest to know that streaming video codecs are designed for computers of a specific age (CPU and GPU speeds).
    DVD quality streams MPEG-2 compression at about 10 Mbits/sec, and the older MPEG-1 compression, designed for NTSC television, streams at about 2 Mbits/sec. At 10 Mbits/sec, the processor must work faster to decompress & display the image. The latest compressions are based on MPEG-4. Even a G3 iBook could display MPEG-4 full screen; so I don't think you need a faster GPU.
    Microsoft codecs & containers, the last time I checked, were ancient: based upon MPEG-2. So, check your speed:
    DSL Reports speed tests
    http://www.dslreports.com/stest
    If you use Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11n is fastest.
    Increase the cache size for your codec, if you can. It needs to be contiguous, so I dare to recommend iDefrag 2 (US$30) to clean your remaining disk space and obtain about 20 GB of contiguous space. Video display uses many operating system files, which are likely not fragmented; but you can also de-fragment the Windows codec if it lies in over 100 fragments. (The Spotlight database usually has over 1000 fragments; but pauses in it don't affect one's pleasure in using it.)
    My low-resolution DVD is interpolated by my graphics card, and look beautiful at maximal resolution. Streaming graphics apparently isn't programmed to interpolate low resolution: it demands high resolution and high bandwidth.
    If you can't increase the cache in WMP, you can lower the resolution of your monitor. That may be why this System Preference was designed to sit on the desktop's top bar.

  • Videos cut off after a few seconds (MacBook Air)

    In the last few days, I haven't been able to play videos on my original MBA: they start, but freeze after a few seconds. I've tried the usual housekeeping - rebooting, repairing permissions, PRAM - but no luck. Can't find any relevant advice by googling.
    Any suggestions?
    A separate but possibly related problem is that the sound icon is greyed out, and I can't get any sound.
    I'd be grateful for any advice.
    Many thanks!
