What does it mean when the Windows Media Player is "buffering" ?
If you see a message indicating that Windows Media Player is buffering after the
video has started playing, it means that the player ran out of data from the stream
and has to wait to receive more data from YuppTV before it can start playing again.
This can be caused by any of the following:
» You are trying to view a stream for which your connection to the Internet
is inadequate. For example, watching a 300k stream on a 64K ISDN or dial up connection.
» Your Internet connection is temporarily busy with another task, such as
downloading a large e-mail attachment or Web page in another window. This is especially
true of dial-up connections, where the video requires nearly 100% of the connection
to continue to play.
» Your ISPs connection to the Internet is temporarily congested, due to traffic.
» You are using a background application that requires Internet bandwidth,
such as file sharing applications.
» You are using an HTTP proxy connection for Windows Media Player, and the
proxy server is not delivering data to you quickly or frequently enough.
» Yes, it is true; the problem is occasionally on our side!
Regardless of where the problem is, you can minimize the number of interruptions
due to buffering by increasing the size of the buffer used by Windows Media Player.
By default, Windows Media Player will buffer 3 seconds of video, which is sufficient
in most cases. By increasing the buffer to a larger value, such as 10 seconds, your
player will be able to continue to play even if there is a temporary slow down with
your connection that lasts more than 3 seconds. You don't want to make the buffer
bigger than you really need, because you must wait this amount of time initially
before the video will start to play.
How do I increase my buffer size ?
To increase your buffer in Window Media 9 or Windows Media 10, follow these steps:
» Select Options from the Windows Media Player drop down menu.
» Click on the Performance tab.
» Under the Network Buffering section, change the seconds of content.
» Click OK.
Why do I get an Access denied message in the player ?
Access denied indicates a problem with your browser. Please try the following :
» Clear browser cookies and cache by opening your browser, then click on Tools
-> Internet Options -> clear/delete cookies.
» Restart your computer.
