streaming issues

Hi there I have just got a brand new laptop (MSI GX660R) delivered 1 week ago and literally from day one it has had random crashes. It is very strange though because the crashes only seem to happen when I am watching a video on tudou.com but not youtube. Basically after watching for about 10...

Okay, so I'm new to this forum. Anyway, I'm having several problems with my internet. This all started happening when I got Windows 7 installed. Whenever I try to download anything with any browser, it stops randomly and fails, or finishes only part of it. For example on Firefox, it says the...

My flat-mate purchased one of the new "slim" 360's the other day and though I had no interest in it, I found that it is a convenient way of using the Sky Player rather than having to physically go over to the media pc and use their software, or search endlessly and without result for a way...

OS: Win7 Ultimate problem: local media files are loaded by player (VLC, WMP, Winamp, Quicktime) but not played. (during first 2 minutes the computer is on, the file will play for 1-3 seconds then stop) streamed media displays video, but no audio. (tried...

Ok, so I recently purchased a new desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium. At home I have the desktop, an internet router/gateway combo from my ISP, an XBOX360 wired to the router, as is the Desktop, a Samsung UN55C7000 LED TV with wireless connection and a Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-ray player that I do...

I am pulling my hair out trying to get a few things sorted out with my home setup. I have media pc running windows 7 ultimate. But trying to stream AVI files over Cat6 cable to my local network to my media player [zensonic/ziova z500] just doesnt work, I can see the folders but not the...

I turned my laptop on today and every time I try to stream a video online, whether it be from megavideo, bbc iplayer, youtube etc causes the browser window to crash immediately. I then tried to play a film in windows media player - it wont open and immediately crashes. The same film will play in...

I have a question to anyone who can help. I have 2 wireless devices that stream my PC content to my LCD. Previously I was running Vista Enterprise and the devices could easily connect with WEP and I could stream content. Now with Windows 7 Ultimate, neither device can connect. I have a Samsung...

I haven't had luck with streaming recorded tv over the internet :( I've searched these forums (and others) with no luck. Both machines are running the RC (build 7100) and both have been secured using my windows live id. I even installed a codec pack on the laptop and I was able to play one...

Hi, I'm using build 7100 on all machines involved. I have a home group setup and all of the computers I'm talking about have successfully joined the home group. I have one desktop computer at home. I have a portable which moves around. My networking is DSL -> NAT/Router/Wireless Access...

Is anyone having problems with streaming video from the internet? I keep getting "Internet explorer cannot display the web page" , Diagnose Connection Problems button. The Diagnose Connection Problems does not come up with any helpful solutions either. Does anyone know what to do? Is it a...

Hi there, I've been using the RC's for a few months now, loving it. But since installing RC2 I've run into a wall. I cannot watch live tv on my premium channels(in Canada, Movie Central most notably). Media Center plays for a few seconds, and then freezes, and displays a message that copying...

I absolutely love Windows 7 RC - It has worked flawlessly for me including running stuff that normally NEVER works with a new OS! Major Kudos to the Development Team. I'm trying to get my feet wet with the Internet Streaming Option in Media Player in Windows 7. I can get it to work if the...

Hi! I'm uring the xbox 360 like extender to watch tv and videos, I've got videos with dual channel audio (and TV channels too) ones I could change audio channel in a xvid (from spanish to english and to spanish) but I don't remember how I did it and I can't do again... What is the button on...

Hey guys, The media center guide worked fine for a while and then a couple of weeks ago it just stopped updating. It said it was updating but when I went to the guide is didn't have any data. I tried redoing the guide setup and that didn't work. My firewall is turned off so that shouldn't be...

Hi, when i try and listen to a web radio or watch a video i cant becuase instead of the bar where you press pause and play isn't there it is just a white square with a red cross in it. Further research i found that it is a windows media player problem as every windows that required it said it...
