Now that I've posted them all over and things are slowing down a bit, let me say THANK YOU Freydnot. I used your suggestion to fix the links. Please let me know if you find that it is changing regularly or not. I will try to maintain the links here and in other areas as best I can.

I'll repeat this earlier message.

Quick Access to BB Links. Just is case this is helpful, this is how I set up my links so that I don't have to go through the whole log in process. On the top of this page is the table with the links - if you right click on the link and choose "copy shortcut" and then go to your blue screen on your desktop and right click and choose "paste shortcut". This will put a little icon on your desktop that you can access the camera directly. No downloads required.

K9lover1: Even easier, I simply left-click and 'drag' the links onto my toolbar. They work perfectly that way too. You can also 'drag' them to the desktop. I'm using Win/XP Home but I think that should work on most recent Windows versions.

These should work for copying and pasting into BBLive I believe.

K9Lover, I copied the shortcut for each cam + quad to my desktop and all is well. Seems to have cleared up problems.

Btw, I just realized that I was pointing others to this thread for Draheid's new links (after mine had stopped working last night and I came here and read Draheid's post and got it all running again). I was even telling others to come here, but I forgot to say THANKS to Draheid!

THANKS!:)

Just a little update for everyone...

Thanks Drahied for your help. I found a little connection thing that connects sometimes (rarely) at like 34 kps, but it's still choppy. But, sometimes they move! It's better than before. Thanks, everyone, for all of your help.

Hey all. Found this page today... seems the CBS website is providing links "for MAC users" to watch the live feeds. These aren't DIRECT links, but they are border-less, overlay-less, button-less, etc. If something ever happens with the links again (like they did a week or so ago when the address changed slightly) this is probably a good place to check for any updates:

Hi, I just got the live feeds today. It plays and then says "loading". It doesn't load, I have to switch feeds. Maybe I'm not waiting long enough. I've waited up to appox. 3 minutes. (I have DSL) Is this normal?

Draheid

Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 08:39 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Alinthehouse: No, that is not 'normal'. Typically the feeds load in less then 30 seconds for me (15 seconds usually) even when changing cameras. You didn't mention what links you're using to access the feeds. You may want to try the links at the top of this page, if you haven't already.

Hope this helps.

My RealOne player keeps timing out as well. It goes through "Connecting" forever and then just to "the connection to the server has been lost". Figures during a competition!! I am having trouble pulling up the Mac OS links, so maybe CBS/Real is having server issues? (other stuff seems fine on my machine)

I'm on Windows 2000, and haven't had a problem with the feeds this year...

Nevermind, it appears that at least part of our campus network is under a denial of service attack, and has been most of the day. Strangely, certain sites are working fine (like this one) but others are inaccessible (like the live feeds! :( )

Draheid

Justin42: It could have to do with the type of DoS attack - they may be hitting ports within the range used by RealONE instead of those used for web access such as for this board. DoS attacks can be nasty and brutal. I hope your network folks are able to resolve the situation quickly.

HELP, Dra..... where are you??? It says general error again on my feeds.... does this mean you have to change the little boxes at the top again???..... almost time for veto vote.... please help!!! :)

Indybarb, I'm loading them now and all seem fine on the broadband direct links at the top of this page. Not sure what you're experiencing. They are at FOTH at the moment though.
