I was able to get the old bbviewer working. I had to go in to the setup and change the url's. I used the ones that I posted above.

eta: or do it Jimmer's much easier way, lol.

Thanks Jimmer... I tried that but it wouldn't work so I did it from Joker's page (at the header) and it linked all right away! Sometimes a little hit and miss but happy to have it all working

Christiii - are you using RP? I've always had problems with it in the past (though it's working this year) but have found BBViewer to work well. Have you tried using that?

That's frustrating! I've sent you a PM with a link to some troubleshooting tips.

Glad to hear it. There's nothing worse at this time of the year when you can't get it to work

Im up and running for now at least. When Im logged in tho, it says Welcome Guest, which is wierd.
Also, Im trying the BB Viewer for the first time, and the feeds are not as clear as on the Real Player page. Anyone else notice that?

bbviewer has been updated for BB11- includes the express lunch link and multi camera's.

Now if realtv would get updated I'd be a uperr happy hamster watcher.

Okay, I have a reg file for BB11 high bandwidth only. Couldn't find the low bandwidth links yet. As always, send me a PM if you need it.

To any BB Reloader pros out there, do most of you just use the default settings or has anybody messed with the Video Codec setting and or the Video Compression settings to get smaller sized videos without losing too much quality?

I'm sure i could mess with it with trial and error, but seeing if there any tips already out there. Thanks

I use the Xvid MPEG-4 codec w/ Frame Rate of 20.

I record in 3 hour blocks, to multiple files and auto-render at 15 minute intervals.

File sizes for 15 minute recordings can vary between 60 and 100 MBs.

I have just installed BBViewer. When I open it, I'm at a small grey screen that says Bb Viewer V11.0 at the top and icons all along the bottom, including 1, 2, 3, 4, Q, E, etc. When I try to open a feed, real player opens and then I get a message saying "To view this content using AOL, 1. open Internet Explorer 2. copy and past url into location field, 3. click on media link.

I don't use AOL.

I'm lost - there isn't any place to open it and past in a URL. I can only click on the items along the bottom, and then I get the above error message.

I know I'm missing something very obvious, but I don't know what it is!

The setup is on the far right. Make sure your screen is big enough to see it.

I got this from the BBreloader page but it might help you out.

I don't have AOL but I am seeing an AOL error when trying to view the feeds, why?

If you are seeing the error that states: "To view this content using AOL", make sure that you are logged into your Superpass account before you try using the Reloader.

You can login to your Superpass account by starting up RealPlayer. Once you are sure that you are logged in, you then can start the Reloader and never worry about seeing this error.

To login to your SuperPass:

1. Start up Real Player
2. In the Real Player address bar, go to: http://superpass.real.com
3. In the top right hand corner click, Sign In
4. Enter your Email Address and Password
5. Complete the sign in process and close Real Player

Chandler:

All you need to do is...

1. Click the "Setup" button which is the last icon on the bottom at the left end.

2, Click "Get the Latest URLs" button.

3. Click the "Apply" button and that should do it for you.

Good luck.

Got it! I couldn't see the set-up button, so that was where my problem was. I have it all set to go - can't believe how excited I am about the season starting up.

It's my mother-in-law's birthday today - I'm already planning how to fix a quick dinner and have her over, and then out the door before the show starts! How bad is that?!? lol

Thanks for your help Debra and Redhawk!

Does anyone know what I need to do to be sure I am running on LO speed. I have satellite internet connection that only allows me a limited amount of bandwidth a day. (and yes it really sucks)

This is off topic but...

This Saturday (11th) is the last day Costco is offering

Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade pre-order for 47.99
or Professional Upgrade for 97.99 which is more that half off what will be the suggested retail.

Anyone using the beta version of Windows 7?

What about compatibility issues with current programs, i.e., will we be forced to upgrade other software too?
