Videos freezing when streaming from router

When i stream higher resolution videos to my TV or PC, from the usb stick attached to my router(linksys EA4500). The videos freeze, then playes again, then freeze, etc. I have no problem with lower res. videos or music. Could there be a firmware update to solve this problem, or is it a hardware issue?
regards, jorgen.

I don't know how to check if the tv can see the 5 ghz. The internet on the TV works flawlessly.

I see. It is better to connect your TV to the 5 ghz network if the TV can see it. 5 ghz is designed for video streaming. Since your accesing or viewing high resolution vidoes from the Virtual USB, the TV should be connected to that network. What firmware are you using? Are you using the Classic Firmware or the Cloud Firmware?

  • Mini-DVI to VGA - online video freezes when dragged from MacBook to LCD TV

    I connected my MacBook to my LCD TV this morning via Mini-DVI to VGA, and am trying to stream online video. The video works fine when the browser is on my MacBook screen, but when I drag it over to the LCD TV, the video freezes. I tried setting the screens to mirrored as well, and the video wouldn't play (on either). I'm not really sure what else to try. Any help would be appreciated!

    Try this...
    With the TV connected, go into Displays Preferences and click on the Arrangement tab. You should see two blue rectangles meant to represent the two screens. One of the rectangles will have a white bar across the top, meant to represent the menu bar. Drag the small white bar from one blue rectangle to the other. This will move the real menu bar to the TV, making it the primary display. Now see if your video will play on the TV.

  • MacBook Pro with retina display freezes when streaming from Vudu

    I don't know if anyone has experienced this before. I have been trying to watch Non-Stop on Vudu tonight with a lot of issues. After streaming for a while, perhaps some 15-20 minutes or so, the video starts buffering non-stop (ha!). The problem is that once that happens, I cannot click on anything. The buffering doesn't stop, but even if I try to quit Safari, the thing freezes Safari and freezes the entire computer. I have been working with Apple for the past 2 hours and nothing that has been done seems to fix the problem. I even ran a diagnostic and it said that I had no issues.
    This is the first time I have streamed from Vudu. I never had issues streaming from anywhere else. I am running a Netflix video in the background to see if it will freeze. Since it's not a full screen, I don't know if it will do the same. Nothing else seems to cause a problem, but what is bizarre is that it freezes the entire computer. In the case that the website was messing everything up, I don't know why it has to freeze the entire computer.
    Has anyone else experienced this, and if so did you get to a solution and how?
    Thanks!

    I had this exact problem when watching streams on my Macbook pro retina 15". For the sake of testing, I tried opening the same stream i was testing in chrome, using 120 % of cpu, in safari, where it uses roughly 3-10 %. dont't know if this will solve your problem, but I advice trying it.

  • Video pauses when streaming from ix2-dl from windows or WD Live TV

    When streaming music videos or any video from my Lenovo ix2-DL to my WD Live TV or PC the videos play but then pause then will pick up a bit further down. In Windows if I refresh my Explorer window it acts like the share isn't there then it reconnects and the video will continue to play. Reboot of computer doesn't fix this. And since this also happens when streaming to my WD Live TV it's not related to windows.
    Firmware Version:4.0.8.23976
    Status is fine. No errors.
    Media Sharing is enabled on all shared folders.
    Media Server is enabled.
    Media aggregation is disabled because I don't want it to scan my other computers for content etc.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Nevermind. I believe it has to do with the .flv extension on videos I stream. I didn't notice it before because I would just stream them to my computer. If I stream mp4 they work fine, but the flv extension doesn't work. Those videos will pause every so often while streaming to my wd live tv.
    Time to convert a bunch of movies.
    Thanks and you can close this out.

  • Video freezes when switching from window mode to full screen mode

    I have seen repeatedly that when I play a video (downloaded via iTunesU) and try to switch to the fullscreen view, the video freezes at the frame I hit "fullscreen" on. The audio, and the file, however, continue to play but the video is frozen. To fix this, I have to keep hitting Pause/Play for the video to resume. It also happens when I go back to windowed mode.
    Any solutions?

    Same problem, as soon as I 'upgraded' to 9.03.15. At first I thought it was only a problem with older videos, but as I checked out videos, even a recently downloaded TV show exhibits the problem. Some videos, however, work fine? If I play around with a problem video until I get a green screen I can get it to work.

  • Video Playback Pauses when streaming from iTunes to itunes

    Hi,
    I have a 2011 iMac running OS X Mavericks Server and I use this as my main iTunes library computer.  I also have a 2013 (latest model) MacBook Air running Mavericks.  My WiFi network comprises of 2x Airport Express's, both the latest models and configured for both 2.4ghz & 5ghz frequencies.
    Using Home Sharing, I like to stream video from my iMac's iTunes library to my MacBook Air.  The problem is that playback pauses every few minutes.  The only way to resume playback is to close the video window and open the video again.  This problem occurs regardless of video quality (SD, 720 or 1080) and on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi settings...  On the odd occasion this problem doesn't happen at all.
    I experienced this problem before upgrading to mavericks so I don't think its mavericks related.  And I don't experience this playback issue when streaming to ipad mini, iphone, or apple tv... It only happens when streaming from imac to macbook air...
    Please help if you have a solution.

    Try:
    ffmpeg -i rtsp://localhost:8554/test.sdp -acodec copy -vcodec copy -re -f flv "rtmp://168.187.121.71/livepkgr/mystream&adbe-live-event=liveevent"
    I don't strream ffpmeg from my source, but I stream h264 from my source, and this works when transcoding.
    Hope this helps!

  • ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

    Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

    I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
    If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
    SeaGate  http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Therefore DRM protected content, i.e. purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes, CANNOT be streamed from the Media Drive/WFD in iOS 8. This issue has been reported to Apple. We do not have any estimated date when Safari will support DRM decryption of iTunes purchased content.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

It appears that Apple finally fixed an issue they had with their movie DRMs. The files should have never played in the first place.

  • Audio skips when streaming from the internet (pandora/grooveshark).

    I'm using airport extreme, wired connection, to a macbook pro (2011) and mac pro (2009). audio skips on both devices when streaming from pandora or grooveshark. problem has persisted through system upgrades, clean installs etc... Problem persists through different web browsers (Firefox/chrome/safari)
    Ironicaly, Itunes radio does not skip, neither does netflix.
    I have seen COUNTLESS posts regarding this problem from many different APPLE users. I would love to see apple address this problem...

    Your first step is to determine if there is an issue with this specific movie or if it's a universal problem.  Does ANYTHING from the MBP provide both sound and video?
    Another thought is DRM coding but that should affect both video and audio.  If the movie has DRM coding and your television does not, then the movie won't play.  I'm not an expert but I don't think that that's your problem because you do get the video.

  • Trying to set up my video site to stream from the "fms server." Any Idea?

    I am trying to set up my video site to stream from the “fms server” and the instruction stated that I should create my own new folder in the application directory on the “fms server,” and I have created my directory, which I called “brigma_streams”, and I have copied files from {FMS-Install-Dir}/ sample/Application/vod to my new folder.
    I also configured the vod service in the FMS-Install-Dir/applications/(in my-New-Folder/Application.xml file).
    Here is the sample of my configuration below:
    <Streams>/;${BRIGMA_STREAMS_VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams>
    <Streams>/;${BRIGMA_STREAMS_VOD_DIR}</Streams>
    And here is an example on how I modified to my XML streaming:
    src="rtmp://localhost/inetpub/wwwroot/brigma_streams/SanfordNSons768K_002.f4v"
    thumb="thumbs/SanfordNSons768K_002.jpg" />
    After all these configuration and modification it still didn’t work at all when I tested the video in streaming mode. Could some one please take a look at and point me to the right direction. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    After adding the configurations to the Application.xml file, you also need to add those entries to the FMS.ini file (in the conf folder). Please add those entries (similar to VOD_ entries) if not already added.
    Once that step is also done, the src RTMP url will look like this : rtmp://localhost/<name of your application folder>/mp4:<stream-name-with-extension>

  • My apple Tv has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server.

    My Apple TV has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server or computer and even internet. I can hear the click sound it makes when you click on the icons, but when the movie starts there is no audio. This even happens when using XBMC. I have HMDI directly to my TV suing Apple TV 2. I have tried resetting, turning off both TV and Apple TV, and changing the HDMI cable. It is driving me nuts.

    XMBC requires a hack, we cannot help with hacked devices.

  • Choppy video when streaming from web-site

    I have tried to stream video from the site http://portevergladeswebcam.com/ (this is for watching cruise ships and other maritime traffic and the site claims to be "High Definition Video").  If anyone wants to look at this site, do it in the daytime!  When viewing the web-site over a home WiFi network, with a fully updated Playbook, the motion of the moving vessels is smooth for a few minutes, but then it becomes choppy.  The vessels "jerk" along.  I have test the Playbook simultaneously with a Motorola Xoom, connected to the same WiFi network, and the Xoom motion is smooth all of the time.  Can someone tell me whether this shows a limitation of the Playbook, or is there something I might be able to do to fix it.
    Thank you
    Gordon1M

    Yes, I know this will work but I want to know why it is choppy when playing from the CD. I have never seen this behavior with any other computer. Is there something wrong with the optical drive? Do I need to tweak some setting? Thanks.

  • Satellite A660-07S keeps freezing when streaming videos

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A660-07S laptop just recently, from the begining it started freezing when I am using video applications, such as Skype or Youtube etc... The freezing happens randomly and the only way to get out of it is by long pressing the on switch(forced off). I returned the Laptop many times to Toshiba authorised technician and we have done almost everything from Reinstalling software and operating system, replacing the mother board, graphic card, memory etc... and the problem is still happening. The laptop is great and does the job very well except for this random freezing which is very annoying and has no way of explaining why it is happening.
    I am thinking maybe there is a flaw in the design of the system and the components do not work together very well. I have also read about few other issues with Satelite Laptops which freezes. I use other laptop and I am an IT Specialist. Never had such a problem before and cannot explain why this Laptop in particular freezes. Anyone can shed the light on what could be the problem so Technician and Users can maybe fix this issue.
    As I said we tried every thing you would do to eliminate the problem and nothing has worked so far.
    Thanks in advance to any replies or suggestions.

    Hey,
    Im really wondering that your notebook doesnt work properly with video applications. Friend of me has the same notebook and he often use video applications like Skype, Youtube, etc. Also he watches DVDs and blu-rays but not problems at all.
    He uses the preinstalled Windows version from Toshiba and everything is ok.
    In your case I would ask the authorized service provider again what they can do for you. I mean if a lot of parts were already replaced there must be a solution for your problem and if its a hardware related problem you can do nothing and you need professional help.
    Maybe the ASP can get in contact with Toshiba directly or something else Just talk a little bit with them, Im sure the problem can be fixed.
    Sorry that I cant say more but the A660 of my friend is working perfect.

  • I can not see video on my apple tv when streaming from my ipad

    Curious what I can try.  I am trying to watch a vidoe off my ipad using apple tv and all I get is the audio.  I am streaming from Amazon Prime. 

    --Not sure if they still do but Amazon Prime used to block video Airplay, only transmitting audio  I thought they'd changed this but that may have been another provider.
    Is your Amazon Prime app up to date?

  • Videos freezes when Hard Wired EA4500

    Hi -  I have a video streaming issue.  I stream my movies HD and SD quality and live TV from my HTPC via Microsoft Media Center Windows 7 to my TVs via Microsoft XBox 360.  
    When stream via hardwired CAT5e, HTPC and XBox hardwired to the EA4500 router (with the latest firmware that is NON Cloud base), the video will freeze every so often. 
    When streaming live TV I do not have any issues with the HTPC and XBox Media Center.  I can test via my XBox the LAN  speed and all tests fine for HD 1080p streaming from my HTPC to the XBox's.
    Any suggestion?  Any settings I need to tweak within the router to make 3 XBoxs from freezing?
    FYI - This happens to all 3 XBox's and TV that are connected to the HTPC.  I've swapped out routers and it's the Linksys router that is having the problem.

    Hi manny1967, was this working fine before? Have you tried to forward Gaming ports and assign each XBOX a static IP, so your Gaming devices will get a stable connection from the router? You may also use Linksys User Guide to properly configure your router.
