WRT54GS and WMV streaming

My router completly looses connection when I try to access a streamed WMV file, something like:
<a href="mms://live.blabla.xx/archive/video/20070809_450kb.wmv"
WinMediaPlayer starts and starts buffering but then the internet does shut down (for me After some time it is back but the router in between got new IP.
I did install the latest firmware and playet around with the MTU .. did not help.
Could anybody please tell me what to do?
thanks!

I have similar issues, on certain sites I get the following error message "because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content cannot be displayed, application/x-mplayer2". Now I have to admit I'm not very technically gifted when it comes to computers but I have installed ALL plug-ins that are compatible with Safari, I have also un/re-installed Safari - no joy! This is very frustrating as I have just switched from Internet Explorer because of the "sexy" interface of Safari and don't really want to go back.......Please help!

  • Golive and WMV streaming files

    I am tryin to get a WMV streaming file to work on my Windows XP laptop. I created a WVX redirect as follows:
    I upload this file (ASCII format) to my server and put it into the same folder as my wmv streaming file. Then I create an HTML page in GOLive 5 using the QT plugin and create a link to the Meta file. When I load the Html file and go to play the videoon my Windows XP machine, I get an error message in The Windows Media Player that says it can't locate the file. But it is definitely there. I even downloaded the latest QT player for Windows XP and stil nothing. I can go directly to the wmv file in my browser and it will download (not stream) just fine. Any suggestions?

    Hello Xandrex,
    Thanks for your reply. I was afraid my post has gotten lost between many others.
    Your advise did not work. Still getting same error "unsupported file format" and in order to get rid of it I need to do the battery pull.
    Any other ideas?

  • Safari won't open .pdf and .wmv pages

    Safari does not work when I try to access a webpage with a pdf. I get a black page and and a spinning ball.
    Safari does not work when I try a link on a web page for a .wmv. This time it's a blank page with a spinning ball. I am even unable to close the tab, and have to force quit safari.
    I have windows media (.app) and adobe. Both functions work well in Firefox, but don't work in Safari. I also have the .app flip for mac, which is supposed to to work with Safari. I'm not sure this is the problem.
    Also, when I close Safari I sometimes get a message asking if I want to send details to Apple re Safari crashing. I guess it doesn't know when I am closing it vs when it crashes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Joe

    I saw that Flip4Mac support was referring some people to the beta version of the current release of their software, due to random WMV streaming problems. You might want to grab that version off their iDisk public folder: Go > iDisk > other users public folder (flip4mac is the member name) You will see a folder called "Flip4Mac installers", download installer v.2.2.039
    If you're gonna try that, I'd recommend uninstalling the current F4M version first. Post back if it works to solve your issues.
    One more note is that you may want to check out the F4M users forum to see if any of your particular problems are mentioned there. The moderator, Craig, is pretty good about responding. Their forum is HERE.

  • WRT54G and multiple wireless machine (including gaming)

    Hi all,
    I had bought (as you can clearly see in the subject ) a WRT54G, as I wanted one to play online with the Wii and Playstation 3 (Mario Kart and Battlefield: Bad Company, in case you're interested ).
    I also bought a Laptop (I was on a roll ), with <drum rolls> Wireless Support (duh) ... I was thinking though, comparing it to the Wireless-N series ... will I have any problems in games? Or will I have performance decreases? When someone is browsing and downloading via the laptop, and another person is playing a game ... will that affect each other?
    What I mean to say, if you want something like this router for doing this stuff, is it a good router, or just acceptable? Will an N-router be a WAY better choice?
    I still have a problem setting it up too, but that's a different issue. Sad isn't it ... starting CCIP, and having problems setting up a home wireless router .
    Ciao,
    Marco

    I know a wireless N router can do the same.
    What I mean is, is it reliable for online gaming? I have this WRT54G router, and I want to use it for gaming and a normal use of a laptop, but who knows, maybe also streaming videos (I tend to watch game and movie trailers). For me that's just "normal" use, I don't plan to download huge load of data with this connection, therefor I got a wired connection. And even if I had only a laptop, I'd connect it to a Ethernet port directly on the router.
    I was playing Battlefield: Bad Company yesterday on the PS3, and I got sort of a laggie connection. With these console gaming, it's not usual it seems to connect to a server you want to connect to, but you're just connected to one. I have no idea what the ping response to this server is, and I can't see any troubleshooting methods on it either.
    To be clear, for this use, and next year we'll be moving to a new house with concrete walls / floors, now it's wood ... what is best to do, to ditch the WRT54G and get a 160N ? Especially the gaming, I just don't want to get used to laggy gaming.

  • Problem with WRT54G and DSL NAT router

    I have a WRT54G connected to a Westell DSL NAT router. I would like to be able to allow incoming connections to my FreeBSD server.
    The Westell router allows me to set IP Passthrough (they call it "Single Static IP"). This gives the WRT54G the outside IP address given to the DSL router. I can then set up the WRT54G for DDNS and port forwarding to forward specific ports I want to my server.
    This works, for about 2-3 days. Then, I start to randomly lose outside connectivity. Web pages start coming up with missing elements, or taking a long time to load. This will eventually lead to total loss of outgoing communication.
    Normally, I would blame this on the Westell NAT router, but as I'm losing connectivity to the internet, I'm also losing connectivity to the WRT54G. It will try to load configuration pages but will be slow with missing elements, etc.
    All communications between computers on my inside network continue to function properly, it's just connectivity to the WRT54G and the internet that seem to start to fail.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I just upgraded the firmware on the WRT54G from 1.01.1 to 1.02.0, but I don't imagine this will help.
    Thanks,
    David Chamberlain

    Try setting the MTU to manual and change the value to 1450

  • WRT54GS and poor performance?

    I've owned a WRT54GS for about 3 months, and I simply can't get any faster than 1/2 of the 54mbps standard, let alone even see the speedboost capability.
    I have 3 laptops, two of which have the speedboost (afterburner) chips built in.  But even the 3rd laptop *never* goes past %50 of 54mbps.  I get to 24mbps, and there it sits.
    Any ideas?

    It seems that you need to update your routers software. Anyway, if you are online hardwired to your router. Try going to www.linksys.com/connect. Download the software called Easylink Firmware Tool. Just run this software and hopefully this should assist you in upgrading your routers firmware.
    If this would not work, or would fail to upgrade your router, you might need to do it manually instead. Go to www.linksys.com/downloads . Input your product model number w/c is WRT54GS and select your router version. You can find the actual version underneath the router itself on one of the stickers. Just like the image below.
    Select the data labeled firmware and just save it to the main desktop page. Then open up a new web browser, type on the address bar now the numbers 192.168.1.1 (password as a default is usually admin, username just leave it blank). Then follow the instructions on the image below.
    Click on browse, select the file you just downloaded, click on open and then hit the upgrade button.
    NOTE: Make sure you do all of these on a hardwired PC.

  • Rented movie not playing. I have 81Mbps Internet and can stream anything else HD. it's not WiFi either because signal strength is full and I can view anything other than rented movies on apple TV unit. it charges me for renting but doesn't play

    Rented "Gone Girl" on apple tv. It charges me, but will not play for more than 4 seconds at a time. I have exercised every step of apple's troubleshooting and nothing fixes the problem. I have a very strong, steady 81 Mbps Internet connection speed and can stream any other HD through the apple tv except for this rented movie. This is not the first time this has happened either. I just gave apple $6 for free and am currently watching the movie streaming through my cable provider's on demand channel with ease. Oh yeah, and when I seek apple support for the issue, apple wants $2 just to contact someone! Give me my money back please and I will never attempt to use your poor tv service again.

    The limitation of approximately 200 titles has been discussed before, we can't be sure whether it will be something that gets fixed or not. I'm not really sure what your other issues are, if I use search instead of lists, I find whatever I want and am able to rent or purchase subject to those options being available for that particular title.

  • Both WRT54G and WRT300N stop responding

    At one of buildings at our church, we have had a WRT54G acting as an access point. For awhile it would require a reboot about twice a month due to lack of connectivity. About two weeks ago, it would barely function. Our staff could connect to it but connectivity would go down several times a day. After reboot it would work for an hour tops. I pulled out the WRT54G and replace with a WRT300N. The staff experienced the same problem. There are about 8 staff members that connect to the router for LAN and internet access. What could possibly cause the dramatic drop in performance? Given no network changes. When folks connect with wired Ethernet at their desks, they do not experiences any problems. There has been an iMac and an MacBook Pro added to the wireless network. Is it possible at wireless interface is sending spurious/chatty packets? How could I monitor this? An MAC address filter is used for security. No WAP or WPE password security.

    try putting the following wireless settings on the router
    ssid  - any non-linksys name
    radio band - wide
    n-channel - 9
    standard channel - 11
    also ensure that the router has the latest firmware on it ..

  • How do I transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC using iCloud and Photo Stream?

    I am quite confused with how iCloud and Photo Stream work to transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC. I recently ran out of my space on iPhone so I need to delete all of my pictures and videos but I first want to confirm that they have all been transferred over to my PC. I have iCloud setup but here lately I have been getting the warning message that iCloud could not perform it's backup because I was out of space on iCloud. I had not worried about it since I figured that all of my pictures and videos were on my iPhone anyway and the only reason I would need them on iCloud would be for a backup. Anyway, how can I confirm that everything has been transferred over to my PC? Then, what is the quickest way to delete all of my exisiting photos and videos off of my iPhone? I found the Photo Stream folder on my PC... Is everything automatically added to this when I connect my iPhone to my PC? If I delete something off of my iPhone is it deleted from the Photo Stream folder on my PC? Please help and thank you! I just don't want to lose any of my stuff!

    You don't move them to iTunes or an iTunes account.

  • WRT54G and Windows 8

    Just purchased a new laptop with Windows 8.  Tried to load the software for the router - WRT54G and it would not load.  Error message said it is not compatible with Windows 8.  Will there be a software upgrade or do I need to purchase a new router?

    If you will be installing the router with the set up cd, it will not going to work because of the compatibility issue. What you can do instead is to manually install it. I have these links below to guide you with the manual set up for cable or DSL internet connection.

  • Java Input and Output streams

    I have maybe simple question, but I can`t really understand how to figure out this problem.
    I have 2 applications(one on mobile phone J2ME, one on computer J2SE). They commuinicate with Input and Output Streams. Everything is ok, but all communication is in sequence, for example,
    from mobile phone:
    out.writeUTF("GETIMAGE")
    getImage();
    form computer:
    reply = in.readUTF();
    if(reply.equals("GETIMAGE")) sendimage()
    But I need to include one simple thing in my applications - when phone rings there is function in MIDlet - pauseApp() and i need to send some signal to Computer when it happens. But how can i catch this signal in J2SE, because mayble phone rings when computer is sending byte array? and then suddnely it receives command "RINGING"....?
    Please explain how to correcly solve such problem?
    Thanks,
    Ervins

    Eh?
    TCP/IP is not a multiplexed protocol. And why would you need threads or polling to decipher a record-oriented input stream?
    Just send your images in packets with a type byte (1=command, 2=image, &c) and a packet length word. At the receiver:
    int type = dataInputStream.read();
    int length = dataInputStream.readInt();
    byte[] buffer = new byte[length];
    int count, read = 0;
    while ((count = dataInputStream.read(buffer,count,buffer.length)) > 0)
    read += count;
    // At this point we either have:
    // type == -1 || count = -1 => EOF
    // or count > 0, type >= 0, and buffer contains the entire packet.
    switch (type)
    case -1:
    // EOF, not shown
    break;
    case COMMAND: // assuming a manifest constant somewhere
    // process incoming command
    break;
    case IMAGE:
    // process or continue to process incoming image
    break;
    }No threads, no polling, and nuthin' up my sleeve.

  • If I delete photos from my iPhone photos and photo stream, and they are not in the 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC, do they go to the Recycle Bin on my PC, or disappear altogether?

    Hi,
    Sorry if this has been covered before.
    I deleted some photos from both 'Photos' and 'Photo Stream' using my iPhone. They are not in my 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC, but do they go to the Recycle Bin or just disappear altogehter?
    Thanks.

    I am afraid not.
    Photo Stream is a sync tool and not a backup solution.
    If you change the Photo Stream on one device it pushes those changes to all devices.
