Video Streaming Choppy?
Mar 12, 2011
I am having problems with playback of streaming video from the internet.Sound and buffering do just fine, but the video is often so choppy that it is unwatchable.Considering this machine is hooked up to my Mitsubishi WD-65837 TV as a HTPC, this is unacceptable.
The machine is:
AMD Sempron 3200+ 1.8 Ghz
4 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD5570
Windows 7 Ultimate, fresh install
Networked via ethernet to router to cable modem
Here are some points/things I have tried:
*local video plays back just fine via VLC
*It happens both in original window and full screen
*I have disabled hardware acceleration on Flash player
*It is not a router/network problem, as I have a Dell Studio Laptop via wireless and it plays streaming video just fine
*All drivers and Catalyst are up to date
*Fresh install of Windows 7, so it isn't a resource problem
*I have messed with every setting in Catalyst
*Speedtest and Pingtest come out 13 MB/s and A grade
*Happens in IE, FF, Opera, and Chrome.

when using sites like bbc iplayer or Internet the sound plays fine but the video freezes for a second every few seconds, i also see the same issue in vlc, windows media seems fine.
also my pc beeps repetitively when i exit firefox after having choppy playback, this last for a minute or so, this doesn't happen with vlc.
i have tried updating my nvidea drivers and also direct x but this has made no difference.
i use the latest version of firefox but have tried internet explorer and it has the same issues.
my pc is brand new from dell, although i re-installed everything from a fresh copy of windows seven as soon as i got it
i have 1 terabyte of space split over 2 actual drives that are partitioned into 4 drives, my c drive has 84 gb spare.
nvidea geforce gt220 graphics card
does anyone have any ideas?

Withing the past few days my PC seems like it has gotten considerably slower, freezing a bit once and a while for a few seconds, downloaded video on all players is choppy and about every 15-30 secs freezes which it never did. Cpu and ram usage are both very low I am running and Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4, 8 gb ram, gtx 460 xlr8. I checked the disk and its running DMA mode so its not that, Deleted and uninstalled all unused games, file etc. Ran malwarebytes full scan which turned up nothing, no large usage in processes

the video playback in browser, every browser, using flash plugin [e.g. Internet, dailymotion, etc.] plays smoothly but freezes for a second or two every once in a while. this happens during full screen playback as well as windowed one.i also have a problem getting smooth playback using windowed mode of subedit player [i translate stuff so need this player feature, can't replace it for media player classic], even though full screen playback is just fine. same clips playback perfectly in mpc, vlc and other players. i guess the problem is somehow connected with the player, although my colleagues didn't experience this problem, neither did they experience choppy flash playback.i'm using 190.38_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_whql as drivers.

I am running windows media center in windows 7 pro. I am getting choppy video sometimes (recorded tv, streaming downloads, and other video files). The problem goes away if I reboot the computer but comes back again the next day or even sooner. I would like a guess as to whether the problem night be my video card, a codec, windows 7 itself or something else.

All was well with my computer and one fine day video playback became very laggy and choppy. Also the computer in general slowed down considerably. My first thought was that there had been a virus attack and hence I ran a thorough scan. Nothing showed up. So formatted the whole system and installed Windows 8. Nothing changed. Videos continue to be laggy and overall system performance is slow. I read somewhere this could be because of high DCP latency caused by faulty drivers. I used the original Windows 7 backup DVD given to me by my laptop manufacturer to restore to factory default. No change - laggy video with slow system performance. I used the DCP latency checker to figure out what was causing the high values I was getting and pinned it down to the WiFi driver. The latency is down but choppy video playback and super slow OS continue to bother me. I've run out of options and my patience it's wearing thin.

i've just built a htpc using some old bits from a gaming pc, but when streaming videos full screen the audio and video are very choppy, with the audio including crackling sounds. for example, if i watch a 1080p video on Internet, it works reasonably well (with the odd pop from the audio) but as the controls overlay (with the play, pause and video slider) slides away the video slows down and there is a lot of crackling from the audio. there is an even worse problem with bbc iplayer and skygo when watching on fullscreen as the entire time the video almost seems slowed down and the audio is very choppy. if however i watch a downloaded video fullscreen, there are absolutely no problems at all.i have only just build this pc so i believe all drivers are up to date. i'm using windows 7 and have therefore disabled aero to see if that helps (it helped slightly). the hardware is as follows:
cpu: core 2 duo e8400 at 3ghz
graphics card: nvidia gt 430
motherboard: gigabyte ga x48 ds4
ram: 4gb ocz reaperx
for my old gaming pc i used all the same parts apart from using a gtx 460 for the graphics. this was then set up exactly the same way as this new htpc (into a samsung tv via hdmi from the graphics card) and yet worked absolutely fine. so the only thing that has changed is the graphics card, but the gt 430 is supposed to be able to easily handle hd video and audio.

I'm watching a video on my computer that I opened up in Firefox earlier, that's not available online anymore. I guess its 'buffered' in my system. I assume this means its stored in my cache. How do I access this?

i have a toshiba l510 notebook for about a year now.. about two weeks ago i was watching a video from animecrazy.net using google chrome as my browser. i just notice that the video took a lot of time to buffer which is unusual because before it was buffering fast. then i browse Internet and watch some videos and it was fine and the video is loading fast. then i tried other video streaming sites like megavideo and same situation with animecrazy.net. the video is loading slow... i was just bothered because all video streaming sites i browse except Internet are buffering slow...i also tried other browser like firefox and ie but the same happens..i am using windows 7 starter.

I just bought a new Hp desktop presario, when I first got it I could watch video from any source online and it would stream no problem. Then a couple of weeks ago things changed, now if I open a tv show from any of the online sources none of the shows will stream as before, they will run maybe up to 5 minutes and then pause. I then have to restart the video stream. I have tried both IE and Mozilla, I get the same result, I have updated FlashPlayer with no change. I can see that it is a system issue on my machine but cannot locate what needs to be reset. I have created a new user as well to see if that will work but nothing changes.

I haven't been able to resolve. This is a new PC build, one month old, that has been having download issues, frequently freezing in the middle of downloads, and also freezes when watching streaming video. On file downloads, when it freezes, I can pause the download, then resume, and it will usually resume the download. I may have to do that 5-10 times to get the entire file. I was just watching a streaming video promo on buy.com's website (about 4 minutes long), and at 1 minute and 6 seconds the video freezes every time. I've tried to watch that video with IE, Firefox and Chrome, with the same results - freezing at 1 minute and 6 seconds with all three browsers. My regular web browsing seems to be very fast, no issues there (I have 6 mbps DSL). My network card has the latest driver (but I haven't tried to reinstall it). I have attached my PC info as a text file.

i have installed a windows 7 ultimate rtm trial on my pc and connected it to my internode nakedadsl2+ ultra net connection. it is an 18mbit connection with cat6 cables and when downloading a test file from internode's servers pulls about 1200kb/s.
i have noticed, ever since running 7085, that Internet and other video streaming sites (including facebook, collegehumour, etc.) that the buffering is very patchy. it does not seem to matter if it is a flash or vimeo or any other kind of video streaming. often times, i will be watching a video and the progress bar will catch up with the buffering and simply stop buffering. then when i try to re-watch the video, the already buffered material is in the cache and that is all that loads. it does not continue buffering from where it stopped. very annoying!
i also have a machine with xp which buffers much quicker and with minimal interruptions.
can anyone help with this and has anyone noticed the same thing?

I recently upgraded to windows 7 on all 3 of my home computers and i am loving it so far.There is 1 problem i can't solve myself and it has to do with my home server freezing up whenever another computer in my home network stream a dvd (or sometime even a small divx) movie from it.Strange thing is, the same setup worked flawlessly when i had vista on all my computers so that rules out that its any hardware issue (maybe a driver issue from nic or something?) PC1 where i think the problem is.My main computer with al the media on it im going refer to as server, this pc has Win 7 Ultimate x64 installed on it, intel core2duo E6850 @3,0Ghz, 4 gigs DDR2 memory and an Asus P5K motherboard.All my media is on a shared drive on this pc and all other pc's can access it through my home network. PC2 the one i use to watch movies.My 2nd pc is in the livingroom and hooked up to my flatpannel tv, this pc ill refer to as my mediacenter.This pc has windows 7 ultimate x32 installed. It has an Intel Pentium 4 3.4 CPU, 2 gigs DDR2 memory and an Abit AB9 Quad GT motherboard. My network settings.My home network is completely wired (no wireless devices whatsoever) and all connected through a netgear FVG318 Router. There is no password on sharing and every setting in my home network is set to share everything with all others in my network, so all if freely accessible.As said all my media is hosted on my server computer, there are DVD's divx movies and some music and pictures.Whenever i try to watch a DVD on my mediacenter the movie freezes, sometimes already in the titlescreen but also sometimes 5, 10 or even 30 minutes into the movie. The freezes are completely random i guess.The mediacenter workes fine after a freeze, only error i get is that it cannot connect to my server.When i goto my server i at first noticed that my network connection was lost on my server.After some trial and error i found out when i disable my networkcard on the server and after enabled it agian i could continue watching my movie on the mediacenter but it the freeze kept happening.Then i thought it might be a power save setting so i made a powersave scheme where nothing turns off, no hibernation and not even the display turns off.Also i changed some setting in the network card on my server telling it that it could not be turned off to save power.After all this done when i watch a DVD now on my mediacenter my whole server just freezes after a while.I still see the desktop screen and my mouse mointer but i cant move it, no error msge its just a frozen screen.I also browser my system logs and looked for errors around the time the freezes occur but i cant find anything related. the only errors i see are after the system halted.The log stated the system has been shut down unexpecedly (couse i pressed the off button) and after it restarts i see i couple of performance index errors (WmiApRpl).

Running web-based flash games has no effect.
Playing Flash videos in either regular or full screen will freeze PC to a point I have no option but to hard boot.
Long-term gaming has no issues, nor does long term PC "on-time".
An annoying "humm" is all i get besides a completely frozen desktop.
I have tested both IE 8, both 32bit and 64bit, and Firefox 3.55 32bit.
I have used the tools available from adobe to remove former versions, and reinstalled the newest available.
I came across a couple "tweaking solutions", but neither of which have worked.
1)disable java in firefox
2)disable hardware acceleration in Flash
I even went on to allow unlimited storage within flash for the sites i watch the most.
The videos can last anywhere from 2 seconds upwards of 30 minutes. No mouse movement, nothing else running, besides Comodo Firewall. (which I hope isn't the problem).
The last 2 things I have NOT tried yet is updating my BIOS, and a clean install. (original install was clean though)
This PC is a homebuild, and a completely new machine to me. SO i have yet to refine which drivers work best for me. It is only about 2 weeks old.

My home built computer has been having random crashes since August, but before then it worked fine. Historically, the crashes have happened in various situations, changing with each attempt to fix them. The most recent change I made to my system was to get rid of Norton Internet Security and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials. Since then the crashes have become a bit more reproducible: about half the time I try to watch streaming video online the screen will freeze and the sound will stutter, requiring a hard reset.
I have run windows memory diagnostic, prime95, and various graphics card stress tests repeatedly, so I feel I can confidently say the problem is not hardware. Besides, this only started a few months ago, and my computer had been working just fine for a few months before then.

When I play audio or video files located on my NAS (Q-NAP DS-210) in Mediaplayer (on my mediacenter) and streams the media over DLNA (Twonky) the audio / video stutters annoyingly.My Mediacenter pc is running windows 7 64 bit Professional edition. It is connected to my Q-Nap DS210 NAS server through a 1Gb ethernet network. If i play the same audio / video files through a mapped network share i either mediaplayer or mediacenter everything works fine

I have two windows 7 computers connected to my router and one laptop with Windows 7 connected wirelessly, also WinVista 64bit connected to router.
Anytime I watch a movie through the network, it constantly stops and buffers. At least I assume its buffering.
I use VLC player and I've never had this problem until I switched up to Windows 7.
Is there any known issues with this type of problem. I can't find anything on Google.

I have a client that wants to stream everything what's going on on his childrens computers to an tablet (IOS & ANDROID & WINDOWS) so I think a mobile website would be the right thing?I'm searching for a software packet that provides that, without letting the user know what is happening so the child doesn't notice anything

I get a BSOD/STOP error when streaming Hulu. The BSOD will appear after streaming roughly 10 minutes of video, then the system is set to restart so it will restart. After prompting safe mode etc. it will start as normal and we will be able to watch a video on Hulu plus all the way through with no errors [code] I moved files from an XP machine to this system using an external hard drive and Windows easy move (inbuilt Windows 7 wizard). I have used Lenovo's One Key recovery to recover the system but the BSOD still appears after a successful run. I do not remember if the BSOD occurred after the file move or right out of the box but I suspect that it was due to the file move. My IT guy at work has recommended a full system restore. I suppose I can search for a thread that explains such a procedure but wanted to know if a more knowledgeable person could come up with a different fix.In addition , and maybe related I cannot complete an update using Windows Update. I can download the updates just fine.But when it comes to applying them, the system will begin applying the updates with the progress bar, but after 2 minutes, I will receive a fail message everytime.

I've been having a problem with my CPU maxing out on sites that use flash video for almost a year now. I've gone through all the checks for Malware and virus's using multiple programs. The problem only occurs when I'm live streaming from a site that uses JW player 5.10.2295, I have downgraded my Flash player to an older version 11.1.102.63 on the advise from a poster on the adobe forum site. I've recently ran a clean install and after only a day, the problem has started again, I'm using chrome browser, I have disabled the pepper flash plugin and I've also disabled hardware acceleration on the flash program.
The site that I use regularly is using the JW player to broadcast, There is High CPU usage for other flash sites(you tube, BBC I player) but my CPU is maxing out to 70/80 and the laptop is just about to handle it. I've had my laptop for about 3 years now and it's always been able to stream HD content with no issues, I also have an old win XP and apple mac air in the house and it has no issues streaming from any sites with high CPU.
My laptop spec is below..

I began seeing a blue screen about 5 months ago when I first got my computer, and after posting here with one BSOD report, I was informed of the fact that Avast Virus scanning software could be the culprit. After uninstalling the software, I no longer received the problem. 5 months later, the issue has come back. I've recently installed Fraps and Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5 on my machine. I saw the BSOD appear once again 2 days ago and it seems to appear while streaming video and installing a game. I also see my machine hard-lock while streaming video from time to time, but I think the BSOD does not officially trigger, so hard-locking is the result.

i go to bbc.co.uk/iplayer, i click on something i want to watch i get there and the page appears but with no pre-video image or play button.i have just down graded from windows 7 64bit to windows 7 32bit as i thought this may have been the problem, due to flash 64bit problems. so i have a fresh install of windows 7.i have tried quite a few things, please see the list below:1. both firefox, chrome, ie 9 & ie 10. all with no flash or java installed, i know this is not right, but something interesting happened. the website did exactly the same thing as before, there was nothing telling me on the bbc website that flash was needed and go here to download it.2. installed different versions of flash and java, and in combinations of old & old, old & new, new & old, new & new.3. i have tried older versions of browers, this made no difference.4. my wifes computer does the same thing with firefox and chrome, but ie 9 does work correctly. we copied all settings from internet options, ie 9's settings from her's to mine. still nothing.
5. i have tried clearing cashe, nothing changed.6. i have removed flash and java. then just installed google chrome, as this has flash built in. i then tried bbc iplayer and still nothing. i then install java, again nothing.7. there have been other website as well as bbc iplayer, that are not working.these problems happen in all browsers on my computer and on all browsers except ie9 on my wifes computer.my system:amd athlon ii x4 635 2.90ghzgeforce 8800gs4gb ramrunning windows 7 32bitmy wifes system:amd athlon 64 x2 dualcore 6000+ati radeon 64504bg ramrunning windows 7 64bithowever our sony vaio plays all video types on all browers, running windows 7 32bit.Internet runs fine on my computer. when i check flash version on adobe site the flash created box appears telling me my version. it seems odd that some types of flash run whilst others do not. when they're not working, there is no error message, just an empty box where the flash item should be.

If I am streaming a video online the screen will get fuzzy and freeze. I will then get the blue screen which will mention that there is a problem with my display driver. This has happened many times. I won't be able to do anything after that. I can't even turn off the computer. I just have to wait for the battery to die so that it will turn off.
