White screen when playing StageVideo iPad 2, can this be controlled?

Hello,
I am currently building an application where the background of the application is a looping video using the StageVideo API. The video plays fine and runs smoothly, however there are cases where the video will get interrupted (and as a result displays a white screen). One of these cases include double tapping the home button on the iPad, attempting to switch apps. When the screen slides up to reveal the currently available apps, the screen video stops playing and the screen goes white. Another case is when the iPad receives a notification or alert. When this happens, the video stops playing and the screen goes white. Finally, I have tested this on two iPads (one Verizon and one AT&T). When entering any view that has this video playing, the AT&T iPad 2 would quickly flash a white screen before playing the video. However, on the Verizon iPad this does not happen.
I would like to know if there is any way that this can be controlled so that I can produce consistent behavior across devices. Would setting persistNavigatorState to true help? Or should I be listing for some sort of status on the StageVideo instance?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I actually figured out what was wrong. On my "viewDeactivate" event, I was cleaning up all object references (including the StageVideo instance). So everytime viewDeactivate was dispatched, the blank white screen would show up.
For anyone who runs into this situation (on the iPad), you should know that the viewDeactivate event is dispatched not only when moving between views, but also when alerts (or notifications) popup, when going back to the Home screen, and also when you double tap the Home button for the multitasking bar. Likewise the viewActivate event will fire when you return from any of the above mentioned states on the iPad, not just when moving between views. Knowing this helped me to fix the issue I was facing with StageVideo.
Hope this helps someone.

  • White screen when playing dvds. Please help.

    When I fast forward or rewind a movie on my Macbook the screen becomes white while the movie still plays. It takes about a minute for the white screen to go away. This has never happened before. Is there a problem with my Macbook or is it the dvd?

  • White Screen when playing Movie

    Hey, I'm downloading Ironman (bought) and its already past the part when I can begin to watch it, even though it's not finished downloading. When i hit play, a white screen pops up and nothing plays, it stays like that even when fastforwarding. I go to play my other movies and the same thing happens with all of them except Speed Racer which plays fine. Why does my apple tv's screen go white?

    I had exactly the same problem, you will find many posts saying that quicktime and other programs need to be upgraded. Quicktime will not do anything here if it is about your appletv. Just make sure that your appletv is up to date with 2.2 software and that itunes on your connected computer is the latest. What will definitely work after all the updates is that you restart your appletv to factory settings, install all available updates, set it up again as if you just bought it and it will definitely work again.

  • White screen when playing back .mov files in QT.

    I have two different .mov files created using an older version of QT (7.0.3, I think). The content is the same on both, but one has a bitrate of 750k and the other has a bit rate of 1200k. The one with 750k still plays just fine, but the other only gives me a white screen.
    The problem started when I upgraded to 7.1.5, and I can't find the old installer for 7.0.3. Can anyone help?

    Thank you very much for trying to figure this out. I have noticed that a lot of people have had the same problem. I have tried to change pretty much all settings on the different computers at work and even taken the files home to try them out on my Mac and also on my PC. Both have QT pro. But still the same problem.
    I have now uploaded screenshots of both files' info pages, just ot make sure I'm looking at the correct thing. They are uploaded to

  • Why do I get a white screen when playing movies?

    Recently, for no apparent reason, when I play movies on my AppleTV 1st gen, the screen is completely white, no picture or sound. When I play TV shows, everything works like a charm. But whether they are movies I already own, or movies I rent, there is only a white screen and no sound.  Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    AD

    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general.

  • White screen when playing .avi file

    I recently upgraded to Quicktime Pro, and when I try to play a video that I downloaded, all I get is a white screen. The time counts up perfectly, but there is no picture. The same thing happened when I had just the basic quicktime.
    I'm not sure if it's an issue with the quicktime, or if I need to get a new component?
    If anyone could help me out with this, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jord

    The Xvid package should come with a read me that tells you where the files need to go. Also, does the movie you're trying to watch use Xvid? Get Info when you're in QuickTime Player, what codecs does it say are used by the movie?

  • White screen when playing mpeg4, sound ok

    I have downloaded the latest version of QT and updates. I have two types of MP4 files I want to play, one is a movie format that my Olympus compact films in, and the other is a video podcast downloaded from the BBC. When I try to play either, I just get a WHITE SCREEN with sound. Any ideas?
    Thanks for any replies

    Hi Stormcab. I am receiving the same result when streaming .mov files. Everything worked great until I install QT 7.1.5 and have tested on several PC with same results. I posted a similar questions last week with several replies but no fixes yet.
    Best.

    My iPhone five decided to go crazy and give me a white screen with black stripes and I can't get into my phone. I can only use Siri! What's happening?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • HT1414 my ipod touch in white screen when i connect to the itunes can'tbe detected

    my ipod touch in white screen when i connect to the itunes can'tbe detected

    If not sucessful try:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I am having exactly the same problem right now. After some research, it looked like my HD was toast. I replaced it today, that part was easy, but now I cannot seem to use my original Install Disk to format the new HD. I get a grey restart screen, or if I get to the Language Selection screen, my cursor is frozen in left corner and I can't use it.
    Very frustrating, hope someone else has some ideas!
    PS My MacBook was about same age, and "expired" in exactly the same way as yours.
