WRT54G ver 6. Buffering problems when viewing live streaming Video!

Whenever my computer is connected to the computer through linksys WRT54G router, Windows Media Player do a lot of buffering. (after every 10 seconds or so). But when I connect to the internet directly through the cable modem, I don't see any buffering and I can watch the video without any problem.
Any advice!

I've tried most suggestions with no luck. I've got a WRT54G v6 router with the 1.01.1 updated firmware. Videos from MSNBC, CNN, CBS, etc... just don't want to run smoothly- and this is on a wired connection to the router. All 3 computers hooked to router have this problem. Choppy video or the video stops and the audio continues- or than everything pauses. I have decent connect speeds- avg test is:
9.66Mbps or 1.20MBytes/sec... I switched back to my old Linksys wired router and the videos played fine-connections speeds were consistent as well. I use the wireless access for a Wii. All computers are wired into the router. I am figuring it MUST be the router since my old router makes the problem go away...but I need the wireless access on the WRT54G for my Wii. I did not notice if this problem was there before I upgraded the firmware since I did the upgrade when I installed the new router. Thanks for any advice.

Baby Monitor - view live streaming video on iPhone

I am in search of a webcam (to use as a baby monitor) that I can use with my iPhone to view live streaming video from...
Can someone please recommend a webcam (ideally with a low-light setting, because babies like to sleep in the dark;) and a capable app from the app store that would help me achieve this?
Thanks!

That is going to be a very custom app. I really doubt it will be in the app store. I understand the idea. I have a monitor myself that has video. I would have to hook up that video monitor to an input device on a computer networked in the home. For me this would entail video monitor output to a camcorder to firewire to imac. could get quite complicated. Even doing this much could encounter problems like each interface having to be set up correctly. once that is done, you might be able to use the bonjour networking to get from iphone to imac. all of this is hypothetical though. interesting scenario though

2.2 update causes problems when fastforwarding through streamed videos

Has any else exprienced problems when trying to fast forward or skip to later sections of a large movie file (>1 gig) that is being streamed from a shared network folder? After the 2.2 update the file often not play after FFwarding but rather continuously tries to 'load' the file - the loading bar usually gets to about 99% but never to 100%. This problem was not existent for me with the 2.1 software.

After doing a factory re-install of ATV 2.1 software (from 2.2) the streaming worked just fine again with my mac mini and router. There are reasonable seek delays but not like in 2.2 where the delay is indefinite. My iTunes library is being streamed from a USB harddrive attached to my mac mini. My LAN setup is wired so the problems I am experiencing is not due to wifi lag.
All of my files that I am attempting to stream are large, single chapter videos. I doubt it is a chapter issue, however, as even fast forwarding hangs the video playback after a few seconds of seeking.

Audio only when using iPad with Safari: can I view live streaming video via Safari?

I only get audio on streaming broadcasts when I click on the AirPlay Icon in the progress bar? Can anyone help me get the video to display as well?

Websites have to have content in compatible format AND also need to allow video streaming - if both conditions are not met then Airplay will often give sound only.
If iPad 2 try turning on full mirroring (Home button twice, swipe all way to right, Airplay and set Mirroring slider to on).

Using iPad to view live streaming video?

Hi,
I currently got a gig recording game day videos for a local school. Right now, I'm recording with a panasonic digital camera with a firewire 800 cable going straight to my Macbook Pro. I am using iMovie right now to record it "live."
We saw an other school have a similar setup, but they are also able to stream the video to their coach's iPad. I've asked their video guy, but he didn't want to share his setup. Is there a software or additional hardware that is needed to make this possible? Any advice would be great, and thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers!

ah the old blue lego. i think means that the video/site requires flash. which the ipod touch doesn't have. and as of yet is not available.

Watching ESPN3 Live Streaming Video on Apple TV

Can I view live streaming video (such as an ESPN3.com broadcast) on my Apple TV? Basically I want to know if Apple TV can display what is on the monitor of my MacBook Air on my TV.

Try this service out: http://www.playon.tv/index.php
I'm currently testing the free trial. Works pretty good.

Severe buffering problems when streaming

In the past couple of days, I have begun experiencing severe buffering problems when streaming video on the web. The video plays for like 6 seconds and then it pauses for like 6 seconds and continues this pattern over and over. This problem occurs regardless of which web browser I am using. I know the problem is not caused by the internet connection because I did a speed test and it is currently operating at 12mbps. I have tried streaming video on another computer and it worked fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

When viewing full screen video in netflix watch instantly, the picture freezes while the audio continues streaming

When watching full screen video in firefox the picture freezes and the audio continues streaming. I had at first thought this was limited to netflix but now see the same problem when viewing flash video sites. Once the picture freezes the computer has to be rebooted. This only happens in firefox. Explorer streams perfectly in fullscreen. The problem began after updating to firefox 3.6 as I had no problems prior to that.
== Operating system ==
Windows XP

For some reason the plugin container is causing some wierd stuff. I didn't know you could have more than one instance of task manager open. while this bug occurred, I had 15 task managers open. So somehow this plugin container is doing soemthing funky with the windows system. I'm the same poster as the last 2 post
Hope this helps the troubleshooting.

Problem playing remote live stream from FMS

Hello all,
I'm having problems playing remote live streams from FMS (server-side) that I can play with any other player (client-side)
Example of server-side application which plays a remote live stream:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://remoteserver/live");
stream = Stream.get("localStream");
stream.play("remoteStream.flv", -1, -1, true, nc);
This code works only sometimes.
Most of the times, FMS is able to connect to remote string and the localStream dispatches events:
   NetStream.Publish.Strart
   NetStream.Play.Reset
In this case, FMS is publishing the local stream but it is not playing the remoteStrem on it.
The rest of the times, localStream dispatches events:
   NetStream.Publish.Strart
   NetStream.Play.Reset
   NetStream.Play.Start
   NetStream.Data.Start
In this case FMS plays the remoteStream correctly.
Any hint to solve this issue?
Regards.

Thanks, I tried your code and it works when playing a remote live stream on another FMS.
But the remote live stream is not on a FMS but on a Wowza Server which re-streams an RTSP stream over RTMP.
With this code:
var nc;
var myStream;
application.onAppStart = function(){
     nc = new NetConnection();
     myStream = Stream.get("localstream");
     myStream.onStatus= function(info){
           trace(info.code);
     nc.onStatus = function(info){
           trace (info.code);
           if(info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success" ){
                myStream.play("remoteLive.sdp", -1, -1, true, nc);
     nc.connect("rtmp://remoteServer/live");
Every live stream player I tried was able to play the remote stream "remoteLive.sdp", but FMS play it only sometimes. This is the output log of the FMS application:
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset        <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset        <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset
NetStream.Play.Start       <--------------------------------- Stream is playing just fine
NetStream.Data.Start
Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset       <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
Any idea? Why FMS won't play it everytime?
Regards

Bad video quality when viewing full screen videos on youtube

AIR SDK 16 (and 15): live stream video pauses when from non-iOS to iOS

Using either sdk 15 or 16, when live streaming video through media server, if I go from iOS to iOS devices, no issue. If I go from non-iOS device to iOS device, the non-iOS device receives the video and audio fine from the iOS device, but on the iOS device the video it receives freezes (almost from the start, after a couple of frames, then long, long pause of freeze - minutes long - then a few more frames, then freezing, etc.) - the audio is fine, it appears to be just the video. I have tested this with android to android (fine), android to desktop (fine), iOS to iOS (fine), android to iOS (freezing video only on iOS side), iOS to desktop (freezing only on iOS side).

VideoTexture is a HUGE improvement for video on Windows and iOS. I am testing on Windows 8 and iPhone 6, but VideoTexture is still in beta and will take a few more months to get the kinks worked out. It is working for me on iOS sometimes, and whenever it works the pixels have a transparency applied to them. I have logged that pixel transparency bug here:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3936111
Also you will notice that Adobe has mentioned the following in the known issues section:
[Air Desktop] [Video Texture] Video is not playing if texture is used as ConcreteTexture of starling.(3949908)
(Release Notes | Flash Player® 17 AIR® 17)
On iOS the VideoTexture seems to work for MP4s loaded directly from the file system, but RTMP is not ready yet. But when it is ready, I suggest that you adopt it immediately since VideoTexture is where Adobe is focusing it's video efforts.

Live streaming video issues

I look after a little old ladies PC in Australia from Canada. She used to watch live video from a webcam in Canada looking at the snow & ice but now with a new HP PC she can't view the live feed... or to be more precise she can view it but the site won't load properly and displays a still image.
If the browser is refreshed the image updates but is a still image.
We can see the time-stamp so we know there is a snapshot of the video being taken but it won't update with the live feed.
I did read other posts about similar issues but can't seem to find an answer.
I have updated her Windows media player, uninstalled then re-installed both Flash & Shockwave to the latest versions but still the video won't play properly.
She can watch other live streaming videos but there just seems to be an issue with this one in particular.
I have tried the same webcam feed from other PCs in Canada and the UK with no issues.
She has an HP610-1010a Touchsmart with ATI Radeo HD5570 graphic card installed.
Can anyone suggest something else I may be overlooking...?
Thanks
Malcolm

Hi,
I tested on 5 machines: 1 HP laptop, 2 Dell laptops, 1 Apple and 1 Surface. I think we NEED NBN, my connection speed is not very fast but still reasonable but the machines took ages to just go to the first one. The second one was a bit faster but ONLY refresh frame when hit F5.

When trying to stream video I am getting this error message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (st) isn't associated with any program." How do I fix this?

Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.
So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.
ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...
Can you get instructions from the vendor? Does these posts seem relevant:

Cannot watch live streaming video

I am trying to use Quick Time to watch live streaming video. However, when I click on the link, I get the following sequence:
"Negotiating"
"Waiting for media"...with a countdown
"Switching transports"...this goes on for a long time
"Disconnected"
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quick Time and the problem persists. Any suggestions for this techno-laggard? Thanks!

Here is the link: http://dev.centralsynagogue.org/index.php/worship/multimedia/streaming/
However, the streaming only happens at 6 p.m. on Friday evenings and 10:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings.
Some additional information:
Although I initially get a "Connecting" message (at the appointed hour), it then changes to "Switching Transport" and then to "Disconnected." Alternately, if I try to copy the URL from the website into the Quick Time "Open URL" option on the File menu, I get an error message that says, Error 47, Invalid URL.
Very frustrating...any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
