Therlin | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:40 am     I wonder if CBS even knows that we are getting no sound (real doesn't control the feeds). Ugh. I bet they have no idea. |
Polypody | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:42 am     Ditto for me--no sound either--been rebooting too!
|
Gemma120in2002 | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:47 am     I was wondering if I was the only one without sound. Hate the no sound, but glad it's not just my problem. We had sound earlier, but now nothing. |
Grannyg | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:49 am     We all have our speakers turned up really loud trying to find or hear sound and when it comes back on it will probably blast us out. |
Kmjm | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:49 am     Has anyone contacted REAL? Edited to add- sound just came back on! |
Kristylovesbb | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:50 am     I've got sound! |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:51 am     I wasn't getting any sound on BBLive but when I opened Real I can hear it fine. And LOL @ Granny! |
Kristylovesbb | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:51 am     It just came back on, yeah!! |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 12:20 pm     thanks JMM...found it (you post was MIA till now...I always wondered why some show up out of order). But I keep having real errors now. I swear that program is like a virus LOL. |
Fabnsab | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 12:39 pm     How do I get to the feeds with the cbs chat on the right side? It showed it instantly last night but now when I click on the cbs link, it doesn't. I am so bad at technical stuff. TIA Also, i tried bblive and all it gives me are european options. Am i missing something?? I feel dense. |
Adamblast | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 01:01 pm     Fabnsab: BBLive must be configured--told where the streams are--to run properly. I've put a thread of instructions about it over in the tech section. If you want the feed with the CBS chat window, I suggest navigating there from your regular browser or the RealOne browser, starting at either the BB website or the RealOne website... There would be ways to make that faster, but I'm not at home to experiment. |
Luvsreality | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 01:09 pm     Is anyone experiencing those 30 minute time outs? I'm not, and am wondering if it's because I pasted in the links from this message board, or if tey aren't booting us off like last year. |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 02:36 pm     I think they are still tweaking it. I had a couple last night then none. Today, when I'm running BBLive not Real it went blank once so I assumed that was a timeout but who knows. |
Needmylifeback | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:30 pm     Instead of going back through 369 messages I am going to ask a question that has probably been answered 180 times... I've signed up for the season...my account says I have it...I have downloaded...my cookies are on...and I keep getting a loop... I log into real one (and I have also checked the CBS site)...I get to the page that is advertising BB4 and I click on the "already a subscriber" button...and I get... NOTHING~ Can someone post a link that will get me past that page and then I can go from there? Thanks |
Dee | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:39 pm     I've been watching/listening to the feeds but there's a screeching noise that comes thru every so-many minutes. It's like in the "old days" when a CB radio operator would come over your TV set. Is anyone else getting the screeching? |
Costacat | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:43 pm     Needmylife... try using one of the following links: rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb4&url=bb4_1.smil rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb4&url=bb4_2.smil rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb4&url=bb4_3.smil rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb4&url=bb4_4.smil rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb4&url=bb4_quad.smil |
Jb3542 | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:45 pm     This is very disappointing... I'm on dial-up. The audio is tolerable but the video is reduced to still frames, many of which are out of focus, and they update anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds. I don't remember this as the case last year. Any thoughts? |
Keiffer | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:47 pm     I have cable modem, and am getting good sound as well, but am getting the frame by frame thing as well. |
C1mag | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:55 pm     Same trouble here as Keiff. This totally blows. If the whole season is just screen caps thats gonna suck! |
Dee | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:57 pm     Same here and I'm on DSL |
Keiffer | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:59 pm     He C1mag, you and I getting to agree on something... I have to say I have been watching feeds for the past 3 years, and it isnt like I don't know how to set the settings or anything. I think this screen caps thing must be coming from CBS. |
Adamblast | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:59 pm     here's the post with all the cameras again... ../10972/1090232.html?WednesdayJuly0920031241pm#POST959840 |
Adamblast | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 04:05 pm     Keiffer: That's how Real streams handle inadequate bandwidth for whatever reason. Are the 80k streams giving you the slideshow effect as well? Do the 225k streams start out that way, or do they turn that way after a minute or two? If you're using RealOne, there should be a message up top that says how fast the stream is getting to you... Are you getting 225-ish? It's probably not CBS, but then I'm at work so can't see the results myself. |
Keiffer | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 04:06 pm     I am getting 226k speed connection, and when it first loads up I get like 1-3 minutes of actual streaming. Then I get screen caps. |
Bastable | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 04:27 pm     For some reason (maybe because Alison is in the shower), it's really chunky right now. I normally have good reception, but right now it's sticky. |
