When I try to play a QuickTime movie, I receive a 5408- Timed Out Error. What is causing this?
At times a user may experience a “-5408 Timed Out” error. Several conditions may cause this. The most common are too many users attempting to access a streaming media file; a user’s local Internet service provider is experiencing unusually heavy traffic; or the path to the streaming media file may contain a broken link or an otherwise invalid file structure. Because these conditions may prevent the user from connecting to the streaming media file, the player will eventually time out. Attempting to connect to the streaming media file at a later time is usually the best solution to this error.
