Deleted old Quicktime, downloaded new 7.5 QT. Audio and Video boxes checked in Preferences.

Two different TV stores, TVs don't play video streams for me. The play button is pushed, no video. Others in one TV store could see the video's playing.

Stopping the stream I can't see, the TV's go white for a second. The store logo on TVs disappears when I push play. But no video occurs after that.

Music in the area stops for second, like the video stream is taking over, but then music comes back on. No video ever showed up.

Windows XP SP2.

I have no clue how to fix the problem. I want to purchase 3 big screen TV's but have no confidence they will work. I did talk with one TV store owner, he's a lot clueless as well.

At his home I could see the big screen TV working. I have two friends with TVs at their homes, haven't returned there to see those yet.

Supposedly at home, the TVs will work fine. I frown. They should work in the stores for me..


What could be the problem? Where is a solution? Quicktime works fine on any QT video offered on the net.



ATI Radeon 1050 with updated driver video card.

Plenty of memory on Dell desktop computer.

I can see TV's at a friends place. It takes 20 minutes of hanging out before the Videos finally start to play.

I tried hanging out in the TV store for that long, nothing showed up. Video play acted like was working but I couldn't see anything.

I think its the SL software, I got a month ago and re-downloaded the other day. Current version of the SL ware has a bug in it, dealing with how it connects with Quicktime. It should connect faster.


I cleared cache too. That didn't help.

Nothing I can do to fix the situation. Have to wait a long time seeing videos at my friends place.

It's likely I'll buy some TV's and hope they work faster on my land.

Can you watch streaming video at other locations within SL? Try someplace other than a store.

I've got 7.5 on my computer, so I'll give it a shot once I log into SL, and edit this post with the results.
