When I am watching a video, any show, the player fast forwards at random times. It skips about 20-30 seconds at a go. Does anyone else have this problem and is it fixable? Thanks, D p.s: really good site though

Tried both ways and they both jump, changed connection settings, cleared cache etc but no change. Also restarted computer but that doesnt work either

Thanks very much for all the input guys! BIg help and really reduced the amount it skips, can get through nearly a whole ep of dexter now with only 1 skips, sometimes none!

Hey, I noticed something today, I was watching shows with my cousin on another computer, not mine(the one with the skip problems) and there were no skips and it ran smoothly, they have the same anti virus but on mine I have the nvidia firewall installed. I know that with many programs the Nvidia Firewall has compatibility problems and I wondered if it has anything to do with it or if anyone else with nSvcappflt.exe(or some alternate .exe associated with nvidia) shares the same problem with skipping videos? Trying to track down the real root as the skipping, although now is much less still seems to occur D [EDIT] *Sorry, i'd also like to mention the other computer ran on RealPlayer 11... I think I have software compatibility issues [ Last edited by dmanzdem at 5-9-2009 03:21 ]

Ok well after much ado I've managed to get a more reasonable stream quality without going into realplayer, just through the pop-up screen. I believe my issue is a conflict with the nvidia firewall and network access manager, it's a nightmare and so deeply installed it feels like a virus. I'll briefly explain what it is i've done so that anyone else with a similar problem and situation can hopefully fix it too. Ideally I should've completely removed the nvidia drivers and network access manager (everything nvidia on my machine) and reinstalled it without selecting the firewall and NAM. However i dont have the cd and could not be bothered Instead, disable the nvidia firewall and delete the NAM from add remove programs. Before restarting windows press 'WIndows Button + R' and type in msconfig,press Enter and under the startup tab make sure the nvidia firewall is not checked. After the restart press 'Ctrl+ALt+Del' and if your nv-firewall is anything like mine under the process tab you'll still have nSvcAppFlt.exe and nSvcIP.exe - right click and terminate these processes. Hopefully then the video should be streaming without jumps - or at least less. Hope this is clear, hope it helps I imagine for the best results do the ideal way and completely delete everything, once I do it i'll confirm the success of it D

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, journalists and well wishers! I have finally fully fixed the stream! No more skips at all! And.. this is how: 1. In RealPlayer, go Tools, then, Preferences. 2. In the Category pane under Connection, click Network Transports. 3. Select the Manually configure connection settings check box. 4. Click the RTSP Settings button. 5. Make sure the top three boxes and unchecked, then make sure the Attempt to use HTTP for all content check box is selected. 6. Click the PNA Settings button. 7. Make sure the top three boxes and unchecked, then make sure the Attempt to use HTTP for all content check box is selected.. 8. Click OK twice to save your changes, then try to connect again. BOO! p.s: I'd like to add my nvidia firewall is still deleted and I have no intention of re-installing but if anyone does the above stages with nvidia firewall on and it works with no skips please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks. No problem at all, it has certainly worked for me, just coming to the end of a dexter episode without a single skip and had one before this Hope it sorts out anyone else with similar problems. Great site
