Seamonkey | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 11:49 am     I'm getting the interference, bars, flickering feeds, especially earlier. I went to bed early (just in case there was an Earthquake that I could feel.. of course it is a very good bet that somewhere in SoCal there was a quake, at least a microquake.. OK.. there WAS a teeny tiny quake at 3:57am .09 LOL.. And a 1.4 about 12 min ago. Not that any of them or any of us felt said quakes. Sorry bout the tangent.. but what we actually DID have overnight was REALLY loud thunder and lighting that struck ground (and even a kid in Long Beach who was standing outside watching.. got struck and was very lucky.. he's talking about it today) so.. the atmospheric conditions are quite bizarre for SoCal.. Maybe it is sunspots. Or maybe it is inept people and/or crappy equipment laced with indifference. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 11:56 am     Draheid feeds also getting colorful bars and such.. |
Bastable | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:36 pm     Has anyone else lost the feeds via Draheid's links? |
Cliotheleo | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:38 pm     Yep, me too. I'm having to get them through CBS' site........ (not sure this will work but I'll try) http://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb4&url=bb4_quad.smil |
Bastable | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:39 pm     Nope, not working... |
Cooki | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:39 pm     I have lost them as well |
Lilycakes | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:39 pm     I can't get in using Draheid's links either. Glad to see I'm not alone. |
Bonzacat | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:43 pm     Same here. Called Real and ultimately wound up using the CBS links (for Mac OSX) also. |
Misslibra | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:44 pm     I can't get to my feeds either this evening using any links. I hate I ever turned it off now. |
Cliotheleo | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:46 pm     Don't feel too bad libra, nothing's happening. And we've actually got a FOTH right now. |
Bastable | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:48 pm     Try using this link: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother4/247/macosx.shtml If that won't work, go to the BB main page at CBS and click on "24/7," then say you're "already a member" on the top line of the next page. |
Zippo | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:51 pm     Mine would not work either so I went back to all things tech. and redid everything and now it works. I downloaded bblive and copied the links again. |
Cliotheleo | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:52 pm     Zippo, but are you using Draheid's links? |
Zippo | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:55 pm     Clio...Yes I am. I was using them before also. Looks like some changes have been made. Now has the screen numbers on the screen. |
Max | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 06:59 pm     Okay, the only way I could get BBLive to work was to use this link: rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb4&url=bb4_quad.smil That opens the quad camera with the CBS frame around it. The nice thing is that it also gives you the "Select a Feed" buttons so you can switch feeds by clicking them instead of hitting the F1-5 keys. Don't know why the old links don't work anymore, but they don't. |
Bastable | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 07:00 pm     Just an addition to Max's post: It applies to PC only. Macs have a hard time using the frames to click to new feeds. Plus, they time out (unlike most OS X feeds, including Draheid's). If you're on a Mac, use my post of 6:27 and re-bookmark the five feed streams you find there. |
Draheid | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 07:05 pm     RealOne Links (Tested all direct links at this time) |
Spygirl | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 07:06 pm     Dang, Drah - you are good AND fast |
Bohawkins | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 07:23 pm     I have never been able to get the feeds consistently for more than a few minutes until I used the so called mac links. Like these: Mac link cam 1 Mac link cam 2 Mac link cam 3 Mac link cam 4 Mac link Quad These work for me wonderfully. Previously the other links never recovered if I got the communicating message. These seem to recover better. I am using an IBM laptop with a WIFI connection, which I have always attributed to the problems. But the so called Mac links are working perfectly. |
Draheid | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 07:45 pm     RealOne Links (Tested all direct links at this time) Special thanks to Bohawkins for the MAC links |
Punky | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 08:53 pm     Oh thanks. These links have spoiled me...glad they're working again. |
Bastable | Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 09:25 pm     Working again! Can't wait to see more of those test patterns ASAP! |
