iTunes on MacPro randomly pauses podcast playback (1 Viewer)

[Sam Posten]

Searched google, and it shows this problem for a few folks but no solutions. It's VERY annoying. I don't have any other major activities going on that should cause this.

I've noticed in on a video podcast playback but nothing else.

DO you have multiple speakers configured, going via Airpot or AppleTV?

 

[Sam Posten]

No, this is local stereo speakers only, no airport. The machine is wirelessly connected to my airport extreme hub tho but no share drives or anything like that. And yes, it was video podcasts, TED's HD video podcast in particular.

Sounds like a definite iTunes bug. Presumably the very same podcast will play without a hitch in VLC. The only question is whether it plays smoothly in Quicktime Player as well. If it chokes, it must be a Quicktime and/or Mac OS bug. If it plays smoothly in Quicktime, a pure iTunes bug.

Saw this in another thread:

hmmm, i wonder if that's what is happening to me. I never see anything on screen saying it is doing that scanning tho...
