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.

    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.

  • Stops and starts in video streaming from iphone to tv using apple tv and airplay.Both devices have latest software and are capable.

    When try to stream content (specifically, videos from Acorn.com) to my TV through my apple TV from my iphone 5,The video  freezes, stops and starts continually, even though it is playing smoothly on the screen of my iphone.  both iphone, Apple TV  are capable models and have latest software updates.
    What's wrong here?

    Not necessarily, but right now you don't have a stable network and there are a lot of factors that can compromise that. I didn't say ethernet was the only option, again you can get a report of your network to see the status.  Would have to change things in order to strengthen the wifi signal (i.e. router location, channel,placement of ATV etc). I am running on wireless without issue, same as most users, and if you took it to a controlled environment (like Apple) you would see similar results.

  • Video has stopped after downloading Microsoft offi...

    Today I installed Microsoft Office and ticked link to Skype option. Since then my skype video has stopped coming in and cannot make video calls. How do i fix this?

    Hi,
    I recall that a microsoft office for mac update actually did something deletarious to the printer files, but I don't recall how to repair or troubleshoot the problem.
      Check your printer manufacture for drivers (software). Perhaps installing new may help.

  • Streaming Stops After approx One minute - then it reboots

    Apple tv Stops after approx one minute - in Streaming from PC as well as in playing Radio via web. Them. It seems to restart.
    Alteady loaded latest SW Version ant tried the reset - any idea from THE real Experts?

    Try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If that doesn't help, try downloading another App from the App store.

  • Video audio stops after like 20/30 sec

    Hey,
    I got videos on my ipod video 60 gb I'm sure they work fine because they worked fine when I just put them on.
    But after a while when I installed the new software the audio stops after 20/30 sec. It likes freezes for half a second and the audio stops. When I forward the video or rewind the audio works again. Does anyone has the same problem? Or does anyone know how to fix this email me plz [email protected]

    If you have the latest software installed (version 1.1), then you may find that rolling back to the previous version helps. There are hundreds of posts here on the forum like yours. Here's one for you to read.

  • Importing Video just stops after 1-2 minutes

    Am using Director's Cut Take 2 to import Video from a VCR. On my old iMac this worked perfectly with iMovie 6. Now have a MacBookPro.
    1st problem - the Firewire drive is not powerful enough to drive the Director's Cut! Now need an external Power Supply! Bad design flaw Apple.
    Main problem - Video imports fine but after a time (could be anywhere from 30 seconds to 4 minutes but usually about 2 and a half minutes) the video simply stops importing even though the tape is still running. Sometimes it will start up again of it's own accord but more often than not - that's it - it's stopped.
    Anyone know why the import simply stops?
    The stuff that has imported looks fine!

    Hi
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it and Close it. Re-try
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
    • Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    iMovie pref file resides:
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

  • Audio streaming stops after about 13 minutes.

    Audio streaming over the Internet just stops after about 13 minutes and has to be restarted. I need a solution

    Thanks for your help! You helped solve the issue, albeit indirectly...
    At this point, I want to share my experience, in the hope that it might be helpful to others:
    After finding that chapter markers had nothing to do with the problem, I found that indeed my camcorder was set to the dreaded 12 bit. Oh dear! The original DV tape is long gone. (At first I did not expect this to be a problem, since I had made several DVDs successfully with the existing settings, but then there are all these horror stories in discussions about what 12 bit can do to you.)
    So to rescue my movie, I found advice to "share" my iMovie back to a fresh DV tape, and then re-import it with the 16 bit setting.
    This lead to the next issue: After a number of minutes of re-exporting to DV tape, the video received by the camcorder would freeze, while the audio continued. This happened at several different points in several differerent attempts.
    So next I visited iMovie discussions, where I found advice to clean up my Mac. I used Mac Sweeper, and now indeed my Mac runs faster and smoother for many apps. I also downgraded my QuickTime version. But another attempt of exporting from iMovie to DV tape also failed, but now it failed at exactly the same point where the audio stopped in my DVD!!! (Even though on the export-to-DV-tape it was not the audio but the video that froze.)
    Next I found that when playing that problematic scene in iMovie, the iMovie program would also freeze at that very point, making it necessary to "force quit" out.
    In the end the solution was to chop out the problematic bit in that scene. Now everything works fine, including the iDVD step.

  • All video streaming stops

    All video streams (NBC, ABC, Netflix) stop playing and require a system reset to begin playing again. When one service's video stops, all stop until the reset. Everything else still works. This began about a week ago on our iPad 1. Ideas?

    I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
    I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
    I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

  • Music streaming stops after a few songs

    I've read posts here on similar Home Sharing issues, here's mine. My iTunes library is on a networked HD, while iTunes itself is on a Windows laptop. The laptop and ATV are connected to the network wirelessly. The ATV usually finds my library, but when streaming music it stops after a couple songs. The only option is to then back out to the menus and reconnect (then, again, it'll play a couple songs and stop). If I connect both the laptop and ATV via ethernet and take it off wireless, will that help? Any other suggestions?

    I am hardwired to my network. After an hour or so my ATV Gen 2 stops streaming from my Imac Itunes? Under my computers on the ATV the library disappeared. If I down power the ATV it reappears and will eventually stop streaming and disappears again. I have home sharing turned on and have tried other things people have said on discussions. I have the firewall turned off, I have opened the necessary ports on my router ( D-Link DIR 825), turned off sleep mode on ATV and Imac, turned off screen savers on Imac. I can't understand why it would stop if it can connect and stay connected. It is as if there is something timing out.

  • Streams stopped after license installed

    We just installed Flash Media Server license on our server
    and our streams stopped working immediately, but they were working
    fine with the development version. Does anyone know what's
    happening?

    I am actually having the same issue. Using the development
    version, I was able to get 4 live streams from our remote locations
    into webpage which we use for video conferencing. Worked like a
    charm in testing. Once I put in the License, the stream connections
    stopped.
    The remote locations use Flash Media Encoder 2 to connect to
    our server hosting Flash Media Server 3. When trying to connect
    without the license, works awesome. With the license added, FME2
    gives an "unable to connect" message and FMS3 won't allow the
    connection.
    The license I have is for Flash Streaming, not Flash
    Interactive.
