Tecra S1 - Incapable of handling streaming video?

I'm about to buy a use (2003) Tecra S1for little used but dated my aunt. She look at BBC iPlayer, etc. * a lot *. I ran test iPlayer on it and the of load was very good but the video itself soon, don't not stuttering but slow, with voices pitched a semitone or so low!

I compared it with a Mac 2008 which ran very well (of course). It was running on outlet. Slowness of the laptop is not affected by the use of the wifi or wired connections. ITVplayer suffered too. My connection b'band is exemplary: it is cable and tested immediately after and during the test and turned to + 9 MB, probably because the rest of the neighborhood was watching the rugby.

I understand that specs to min for iPlayer 1 GHz and 512 MB. This laptop is 1.4 GHz and 512 MB (I'll test it with 1 GB later), it should be OK.

Anyone who has experienced slowish speech and video like that? Have you found a way around it?

Nice! Thanks for sharing this with us!

  • How to capture (record) streaming video online with his partner is on El Capitan?

    Someone can advise or recommend including many different programs available that I must use to capture (record) streaming video online with it's associated audio on El Capitan?  I tried MacX DVD Converter Pro, but believe it or not, it does not record the audio aspect of video stream.  They claim there is a work around, but after 3 days of trying various corrections, none seems to work for me.

    I tried the Safe Mode Terminal command string: turn off the csrutil. restart, but which did not allow audio capture of MacX DVD Converter Pro driver to install their Audio System driver.

    I tried sudo nvram boot-args = "kext-dev = 1 mode" method, but then again, playback of the recorded video was silent, even though I have heard the audio during recording. "

    I downloaded SOUNDFLOWER, but again, I have heard audio when the screenshot, but Quicktime playback was silent.

    I have hard to believe after that 3 days I am still unable to record what I see and hear at the same time on my screen a video streaming like a Charlie Rose interview with Martin Scorcese discussing Felini.  I don't like what it costs; I care only about the easy, professional and perfect results.  One of the two reasons why I BOUGHT this iMac 27 "with El Capitan was so I COULD record streaming video with audio if I choose so, and after a month, I still can't do and I ran out of the online help after searching dozens of sites to find answers!  So I now turn to the Apple community.  Thank you!

  • Why do I get the "error: no valid source could be found" message when you try to stream video live?

    I'm trying to stream live TV and this message - "error: no valid source could be found" I am on Fox Business website and the message appears in the Fox Business Watch box at the bottom right of the page. I use a MAC with the latest OS. I have another MAC at home and I am able to access streaming content. I can also access the content using Chrome.

    Apparently the old MAC that can stream video has Flash. The new MAC Mini did not have it and I didn't because of the negative things I've heard. Unfortunately, I need on the new computer and downloaded it reluctantly. Problem solved. Thanks for your reply.

  • How to fix streaming videos that freeze at a certain time?

    Well, when I load a streaming video on streaming sites (not live), they play the intro and when it gets to a certain stamp(4:12) of time it freezes on this scene, and when I try to advance the time, so it does not freeze on this scene, it freezes again on that even if the time stamp said 04:30 and his game dialogue different from when it froze.

    This looks like a problem with buffering because of the Wi - Fi connection. What is the connection?

  • Why firefox has stopped streaming videos?

    I'm running Win7 64 bit. Firefox suddenly stopped streaming online videos. I can broadcast on IE and Chrome. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but still cannot stream videos online.

    Hello, I think that this is caused by the update of the plugin flash to adobe for version 11.3 which caused problems of posting videos for many users (chrome and IE get provided by located version of the plugin from adobe)

    You can remove flash 11.3 of the section of the configuration/program windows downgrade to an earlier version & Control Panel, until adobe fixes these problems.

  • Live streaming video issues

    I look after a small PC of old ladies in Australia, of the Canada.  She used to watch live webcams to the Canada video looking at snow & ice but now with a new HP PC it can not display the stream live... or to be more precise that she can see, but the site does not 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, so we know there is a preview of the taken video, but it will not be updated with the live stream.

    I read the other posts about similar problems, but can't seem to find an answer.

    I updated its Windows media player, which is uninstalled then reinstalled both Shockwave & Flash to the latest versions, but still the video will not play correctly.

    She can watch other videos for streaming live, but it just seems to be a problem with this one in particular.

    I tried the same webcam feed other computers to the Canada and the United Kingdom with no problems.

    She has a HP610-1010 has Touchsmart with installed ATI Radeo HD5570 graphics card.

    Can anyone suggest anything else I can be on...?

    Thank you

    Hi - Thanks for your help. I think I found the solution. I checked again in the United Kingdom and found that does not now by streaming video and just displaying still images. There must be an intellectual property sensor on the site of blocking live outside of North America. Bad luck!

  • Can I stream video to ATV with wifi turned off?

    Can I stream videos from my iphone 6 sec more (connected to mobile data only) from apps like Hulu, Netflix, etc? I know the iphone connects via bluetooth on the BIKE, but I was not able to verify that the video will flow with wifi off on the phone, and most of the info I found on the subject seems obsolete. Thank you!

    Nope.  AirPlay requires wifi which disconnects the data on the phone.

    You can renounce the ATV and buy a lightning HDMI adapter and use a wired installation.

  • STREAMING VIDEO PROBLEM

    I struggled on all video applications. Videos would be stopped or won't play at all. This device has internet connection problems. Netflix has bad connection, I'm not done one film, since I bought this unit. Need to upgrade.

    Hi Roman, I know it's frustrating when something doesn't work, but to help you, we need more information than just that it does not. I've had the device for a few weeks now, and I can assure you that it is quite capable of streaming videos from Netflix and other sources. I watched several movies HD and watch this weekend without any problem at all.

    Problems you encounter can be with the device itself, with the connection between the device and your router, from your ISP, or with the special Netflix servers you get connected to. What did you do to narrow down the problem?

    When your device has problems with streaming, you are able to broadcast the same program on your computer?

  • Recommendation of tutorial and software for streaming video?

    iMac OSX Yosemite here is the problem:

    I work in a school and managing the "writing Center" in the library. I need a camera pointed at the writing Center cameras which broadcasts streaming to a Web page. Teachers will be able to click a bookmark to see the web stream, or a jpg "intervalometer" every 1 minute or so, to see if there are useful volunteers available to help their students. Or to see that he's too busy.

    I have a good camera, webcam 2 IPEVO P2V.

    I need a whole tutorial instruction newby explains an inexpensive way to do it.

    I'm pretty sure that Quicktime Pro or Gawker (open source and free) for this. I know that Adobe ($$$) such software. Because I'm a teacher, I prefer free.

    Gawker (free) is old, but I know he can do interval jpg screenshots, and I think he can do streaming video to a folder or an ftp address.

    Can you suggest a good Web page which, step by step, tell me what software I need and how to configure the page?

    Have you tried YouTube?

  • Satellite A660-07U freezes when Streaming video

    I bought a Toshiba satellite A660 07U 2 months ago.
    Since the beginning, when I try to watch any video streaming of Facebook, Youtube, etc, my system crashes completely and don't stop making the zzzzz... noise and I have to manually shut down the laptop by pressing the power button.

    This happens very often now. I contacted toshiba support and the response was to change my microphone amplifier, configure Volume settings... : smileysurprised:.

    Does anyone have advice for this problem?

    Hello

    This only happens for internet streaming videos or have you noticed that also play videos stored on the HARD drive?
    Could it be linked to the internet connection is slow?

    If this isn't the case, then I would check the processes running in the background. Some processes may insist on the CPU, and this might be the reason of this gel.

    Just an another idea;
    Have you checked a few other graphics drivers? Update the driver and test again.
    I recommend also using actors.

    Good luck

  • Why is the sound so low while streaming video on Apple TV

  • I can stream video files stored on my TC to my AppleTV?

    I can stream video files stored on my TC to my AppleTV?

    The Capsule is not a media server, whereas if you might be able to do what you want... kind of... He's complicated.

    In general, you will need to have iTunes running on a computer somewhere on your network... and... Tunes must be able to access the files on the Time Capsule. This means probably move the iTunes folder Media to the time Capsule.   Advice on this here: locate and organize your iTunes - Apple Support files

    Performance wise, things have a better chance to work well if you can plug hard Capsule of Apple TV, since wireless probably won't work well at all for a task like this.

    Personally, I could never do that, so I can't tell you how well or even if... it will work. If you decide to give it a try, please let us know how things work out for you.

    I hope that other users who might have tried this will post here as well with their experiences.
