Youtube and 4K playback

When playing youtube 4K videos, and not using the HTML5 option, I think it uses the flash player, is that right?
Do you know why, if you select "Original", what should be playing at 4K resolution, if you press "show info" it currently says "2048x1536" instead?
Is it because of flash or because of a change made at youtube to disable 4K playback (or because I'm not running with a 4K capable monitor/graphics card)?
(I'm using Firefox 15.0.1)

When you click show info or in google chrome "stats for nerds" they show you the resolution of your video window right now...

Glitches in recording, youtube and mp3 playback

For two years now I've been struggling with this problem. I record music with an RME Fireface to my Macbook Pro and very occasionally the recorded audio will have digital buzzes/glitches. I've tried everything suggested on audio gear forums (larger buffer sizes, closing airport and open applications etc.). It still does it, even on simple stereo recordings. I've tried different DAW programmes and two different audio interfaces, updated/rolled back various drivers and firmware etc, etc. The problem still persists.
Another seemingly related problem is that Youtube videos very often play back with split seconds of silence every now and then, even when the video is fully loaded. And more recently playing mp3s in iTunes *occasionally* glitches.
From a process of elimination I can only assume the fault is in the Macbook's hard drive or RAM. I took the Mac in a year ago because Techtool deluxe kept showing up a 'volume structure' error but they said don't worry about it. However, now it seems like all this can't be coincidence!
Has anyone else had this problem? It's very frustrating given how smooth the Apple experience is meant to be...

yeah you will have to cut it up, but you can run multiple playback instruments in the same patch so try layering them up that way.
another workaround would be to have long gaps between sections, put markers in at the beginning of each section and then just use skip to next marker instead of triggering a new instrument.
hope this helps

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny?

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny in Firefox? I tried some suggestions that dealt with entering "about:config" in a fresh browser, but to no avail. I also downloaded an add-on called "Theme Font & Size Changer", but that didn't work either. So, I am reaching out here as that was a suggestion that another user here offered.

Ah, yes- that is an ultra high DPI (dots per inch) display. This is a known issue in Flash Player, which Adobe is working on fixing.
In the mean time, you can get some videos to have normal-sized controls by switching Youtube to the HTML5 video player:
In Firefox, go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and click the "Request the HTML5 player" button.

Best iMovie settings for YouTube Upload and HD Playback

Hello, I've tried using the various online suggestions for obtaining the very highest possible quality playback of my HD videos when I upload them to YouTube and...frankly...have not noticed any difference between using simply the 1080 export option and then uploading them into YouTube.
Well, of course, the fact that going through the QuickTime export option takes a lot more time and creates a file that is huge.
So, what is the consensus?
Is shooting HD video on a HD camera and then importing and exporting from iMovie's automated settings really resulting in appreciably lower quality in YouTube HD playback?
Would appreciate any thoughts on this.

There are YouTube presets in Adobe Media Encoder. Just choose H.264 as the format and then choose one of the YouTube presets.

Loss of sound and video playback on ENVY X2

Every so often, more often than I would like, my HP Envy X2 loses sound and video playback capabilities; any ideas anybody? The concept of this machine is great and have had it for the past 9 months but this loss of sound and vision is so unpredictable and frustating...

Hi Brumage,
I saw your post regarding the sound and video issues and I will be happy to help. Do you get any error messages when this happens? Have noticed if it is a particular site like YouTube or program that you are using when the issue occurs or does it occur on all programs? When you restarted the Envy X2 does the issue go away?
I would start by suggesting that you make sure all updates have been installed through HP Support Assistant and Windows Update.
What operating system are you running? What is your product number?

Audio and video playback stuttering...sometimes

I'm having issues with audio and video playback stuttering at times in several applications. It's the same kind of skipping or stuttering in each application, whether it's iTunes (version 10) or YouTube or Netflix (Safari). I can also hear it when I'm just adjusting the volume via the keyboard, the "clicks" stutter.
I'm not running anything other than iTunes and Safari at once, the iMac has 2 gbs of RAM, it's running Snow Leopard. It also will work sometimes for a while. I just can't figure out why it will work sometimes and not others. Any ideas about what the cause may be? Quicktime X have anything to do with it?

Quicktime wouldn't work either.
Until you max out your ram, you are pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place. In the meantime, make sure you have the latest versions of

I'm noticing that in general it's running extremely slowly now, even with only the browser running.
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.

Easy Question! How Do I Play ONLY the Selection, and then playback stops?

How Do I Play ONLY the Selection, and then playback stops? (Same as subject..)
Thanks! I'm loving STP so far. I came from Sony Sound Forge so it's been difficult finding something that can compare, but I think I have it now! Lot's of advantages for STP too.

I think you're confusing the audio loops with MIDI loops. The blue loops are audio loops which will play only on audio tracks. You can't 'play' those with a keyboard because they are actual audio files. The green loops contain MIDI data that corresponds with a software instrument, and if you drop them onto a Software Instrument track, they will open that instrument which you CAN play with an external keyboard or the caps lock keyboard.
I might be missing some loops, but when I searched for Bell Tower I found only one, and it is a blue loop. So it can only be played as an audio loop on an audio track. However, if it were a green loop, you would NOT drop it on an external MIDI track (I think that's what you're trying to do if you're dragging it onto the 'Grand Piano MIDI instrument'), but you would create a SOFTWARE INSTRUMENT track, and drag it on that. Any internal sounds you want to play from Logic's instrument you'll do from Software Instrument tracks, and not MIDI tracks.
What you should do to find a good chime sound that you can play with the caps lock keyboard is to create a Software Instrument Track, open the Library tab, and search there for a good chime. This will search all of the instruments and presets that Logic has for all of its internal instruments. Try 'Tubular Bells' and see if that works for you.
If you need to use the bells from that loop, do what SC suggested, and take the hits from the audio file and load them into a sampler. Then you can play them the way you want to. If you don't know how to make a sampler, it's a bit complicated. Look up EXS24 in the manual, or check out

I think he has a video or two on EXS24

YouTube App Video Playback Poor Performance

Not sure when or what changed but video playback performance on my iPod Touch 4G when using the YouTube app has been very poor the last couple months. Used to work just fine. The performance has been so bad that I basically gave up watching YouTube videos on my iPod. By bad performance I mean it would literally take 10 minutes to watch a 2 minute video (estimating of course). And I would get chunks of about 20 seconds before I had to wait while the video would buffer again.
I know this is due to my connection speed as video playback using the YouTube app at other locations that have a faster speed still worked fine.I think my home connection is up to 5 MB download but I actually only get around 4 MB. But still, this should be just fine as it used to work. Also, NetFlix and FaceTime work just fine at home. The YouTube app should be able to determine the video quality based on your connection for streaming. But it now longer seems to do that.
Talked to Apple tech support and they had me reset my iPod which did not help. But they had me try using Safari instead of the YouTube app. By using Safari and going to YouTube.com video playback on my iPod Touch was just fine. Videos would buffer more quickly then they would play. Even if I left HQ on, video playback was fine. Go figure? Something definitely seems wrong with the YouTube app.
So I thought I'd post this in case anyone else was searching for a solution. This works for me.
Seems like the YouTube app needs to be updated. Mentioned this to Apple tech support but was told Google would be responsible for that and they doubt it will be done due to YouTube no longer using flash. Hmmmm, the app seems pretty integrated into iOS as the app comes installed and can not be uninstalled.

Apple Tv does not work with youtube and movies on iphone or ipad

I am on my 2nd generation apple TV. Always worked with Youtube, my iphones and ipads and Netflix.
I think it started about a month ago. I can only use Netflix.
If I try YouTube and select a video (even if small) it just keep spinning and never starts.
The same thing happens with my video from iphone 5S, 5, and ipad 2.
Than I went to my sons house with a Apple TV 3rd generation and different wifi,
same thing happens, I can not show a video from my iPhone 5S.
What is going on, did Apple TV change something?
Is this a update that went wrong?
(I have auto update and also checked manually to make sure have latest apple TV FW)
(All iphone and ipads are latest FW).

Hi pcorsaro,
You may need to restore your Apple TV and see if the issue is resolved after that process:

After upgrading to lion vevo, youtube, and hbo no longer plays videos. I'm assuming this is some kind of plug-in issue. How can I resolve it?

I created a 23 minute slideshow with music. how can I share it? youtube and smugmug both say it is too large?

I created a 23 minute slideshow with music of family vacation. Youtube and smugmug both said it was too large to post for my family.
suggetions please?? I use to use Mobileme...

A few different ways about this. You could split the slide show into smaller sections that are withi the limits for posting and then post each section.
You could try a different encoding to make the file smaller. What settings did you use when you created and exported the slide show?

Videos on youtube and bbc radio iplayer display a black box instead of the player box.

so yesterday morning i was using youtube and bbc iplayer fine and then last night they suddenly stopped working and i can't think of any reason why, i haven't updated or made any changes to anything in the last day. the pages load fine but where there was previoulsy the video or in the case of iplayer the picture with the controls on, there is now just a black box. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash player but otherwise don't know what to do!
i've also tried using internet explorer and have the same problem with this. i've tried to update firefox but cant get it to work, although i imagine this won't help anyway since ive got the same problem in internet explorer.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

How do I scan for a virus? Internet won't often connect to facebook, google, youtube and many other websites while others connect fine.

Serveral times a week I won't be able to connect with facebook, google, youtube and yahoo. Usually it will say:
"Invalid URL The requested URL "/", is invalid. Reference #9.64070f17.1344033131.59fe68f5"
I'm not even using a "/" in the address bar. I'll type in www.facebook.com and that message will pop up. There is also a little white page icon to the left of the address in the address bar. When I click on more info it says:
"The site isn't using SSL. This icon displays for http:// sites. Most sites don’t need to use SSL because they don’t handle sensitive information. Avoid entering sensitive information, such as your credit card information or bank login information, on the page. If sensitive information is being requested on a site not using SSL, consider contacting the website owner."
The same thing happens when I use Google Chrome or Safari. I'm up to date on all my updates. Sometime clearing my history works, but not always. Sometimes rebooting helps, but not always. Sometimes none of the websites mentioned will work. Sometimes only one mention won't work.
Any suggestions?
