Minnietlm63 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:00 am     Thanks Draheid! It worked! I just wish I could chat while watching. Oh nevermind its on FOTH....grrrr! Probably will be all day. <pouting> |
Auntiedotcom | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:01 am     thank you , thank you, thank you, i was getting the shakes... |
Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:02 am     thanks draheid! These urls are better than the ones I had before...the screen in larger. I have DSL but the realone beta for OSX is crappy and I never had these hi-band urls for BB3 before. cool |
Indybarb | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:02 am     draheid -- yes, i have gone to that thread several times trying to do as you suggest... however, when i get to the part where you say "drag" them.....my mouse doesn't do that....but thanks |
Tootseug | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:03 am     worked for me too bigd. ohhh...it's back. no more FOTH |
Draheid | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:04 am     indybarb: What operating system are you using? What version of RealPlayer (RealOne, RealPlayer8, etc) are you using?? Maybe I can better explain how to copy/drag them where you need. |
Maesin | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:04 am     Thank you Draheid! To our rescue once again! |
Justin42 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:04 am     hrrm, working, but I just keep getting the commercial over and over and over again on all feeds (including Quad Cam)... It's comforting to see how good Real is at keeping things up and running. If only I had the luxury to be down as much at my job! ;) |
Cmc209 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:05 am     @Draheid - THANK YOU!!! Ha - it's a pretty sad day when a non-realplayer employee can help us out - those people who work for real are a bunch of peanuts! |
Jarryjayo | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:06 am     problem fixed for me, made new shortcuts with Draheid's links. and it works fine, TIP For everyone with high speed connections, make a set of both links both 80k and 200k, that way if your having problmes with the 200k you can switch to the 80 and not be cut out. thats what I do at times |
Indybarb | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:08 am     Draheid... i have RealOne.....must tell you, i am satisfied with the help you just gave me... it is about the limit of my computer capabilities to do that... lol... old lady here....never even cut and pasted, so your getting me able to get to RealOne was just great....thanks |
Jules | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:09 am     Draheid------- THANKS !!!!!!!! mine works now |
Delilah | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:09 am     Thanks Draheid, that worked for me too and I resaved them as favorties and copied them on my desktop, does this mean no more time outs? Also, the 5 cams aren't listed on the side anymore so I guess I will have to click on the link on my desktop when changing cams. It is worth it to me to have no more timeouts! Thanks! You are brilliant! I got FOTH too but there were two people outside the house with a camera focussing on them, couldn't make out who they were though, probably rehearsing for tonight's returning HG. Anyopne else see that? |
Countrymeadow | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:10 am     I have Real 8 and a cable connection and i've looked everywhere on that thread for information on placing the feeds on my desktop. <shrug> Oh well, the old way will have to do.....LOL |
Draheid | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 10:13 am     Delilah: I have had a QuadCam feed running for over 3 1/2 hours at one time (normally 1-2 hours is about all I can usually stand before I either close the feed or switch cameras) and the ONLY thing I saw happen was the feed 'rebuffered' twice ... never froze, never timed-out, no other problems at all! Using the shortcuts to change cameras is, IMO, a minor inconvenience compared to timeouts and other glitches. FWIW |
Cmc209 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:15 am     I'm not sure, but I've never noticed this until today:
I wonder if they were updating the feeds with an acutal quad cam button? That might explain the problems with the feeds. |
Draheid | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:26 am     Cmc209: That's probably the explanation. I'd bet that was the only change and that, by using their 'SMIL' links, they will still have the timeouts though. Personally though, I like being able to watch continuously without having to reload every 30 minutes. I also like to see the entire window WITHOUT the borders and buttons. It just looks better, IMO, in fullscreen on my 19" monitor! JMO - FWIW |
Frances | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 12:16 pm     why do some people have feed and i don't yet... |
Nermal | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 12:22 pm     I have the regular feeds back. Draheid, do you find that the direct connection you use to keep running continuously has poorer picture quality than the regular feeds? Mine is so much worse that I switched back to the regular feeds once they started working again. |
Draheid | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 12:27 pm     Nermal: Click HERE to see a screencap of the feeds using the links I posted. Both 56K & 200K for comparison. Could be your screen resolution or color depth. Could be the whether or not your using 'optimized video' (which you can't use if you want to do screen caps). *shrug* I can't honestly say what the other quality looks like as I am only using *my* links for viewing. The QuadCam always looks a little 'fuzzy' but I think that's just because they're putting 4 different signals together into one stream. JMO - FWIW |
Nermal | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 12:39 pm     Thanks, Draheid. That's about what mine looked like on your links, but my quad picture is much better than that on the regular connection. I don't know why. My settings are the same. I use quad a lot, though and prefer the better quality. I hate the way mine times out, but I set it for automatic restart. I'd still rather it just didn't time out. Looks like it's a trade off. Btw, I have DSL so use the 200k. |
Wendo | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 12:54 pm     Draheid, I tried your links, but all I keep getting, over and over, is the BB3 commercial. I'm on a Mac using RealPlayer Plus 8. Any suggestions? |
Draheid | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 01:02 pm     Wendo: I'm not sure if it will work, but Adamblast later in the thread suggested puttine pnm:// in front of the links to make them work with BBLive. Since I don't have a MAC or access to one, you might try that ... or, MAYBE one of the other wonderful users here has other suggestions! |
Tippet | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 01:36 pm     all I can get is the commercial too I'm using windows real player and have tried all the links over and over |
Cmc209 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 04:07 pm     @Wendo - you mentioned that you use RealPlayer Plus 8 - do they have RealOne for MAC? Anyone think that might be the problem? |
Wendo | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 04:42 pm     Only RealOne for Mac is OS X and I haven't migrated over yet - work issues. I did try the pnm thing, didn't change a thing. Maybe it works for some and not others. Oh well, no biggie, just have to keep reconnecting. If anyone has other suggestions or is able to get it to work in the future, let us know. Thanks anyway. |
Cwoody222 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 10:17 am     Can someone please share the links to the feeds that don't timeout? Do they ALWAYS work? I've tried ones before but CBS has turned them off or something. Also - for the people who can only see the commercial. That happens on my Win PC at work. It's usually when we have network issues at my work. I find I have to delete my cookies and cached files and signout of RealOne. Then, sign back in. That commercial sure is annoying...that's all I could get for 3 days once!!! I thought my work figured a way to make it so I couldn't watch! ;) |
