The feed has been working, but spottily. They just finished the national anthem.

I'm getting a black screen and I have no audio. Is it in commercial or something?

Normally i use the cornell webcasts where you sign in, it loads up and goes.
This isn't buffering saying there's an error preventing it form loading.
Any ideas anyone???

go to the main page and follow the link for current webcasts and choose ecac, not cornell.

Some of us have been unable to get the feed, with this error:
[Q]Windows Media Player cannot play the file. A network firewall might be preventing the Player from opening the file by using the UDP transport protocol. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:".[/Q]
I get this, even though the same setup worked last week and also for the pregame tests with Wodon and Norton.

XMI suggested rebooting the machine, and it worked.

Thanks, I just rebooted and it worked too, I thought about it initially, but seeing i had just turned it on 2 minutes before i tried accessing the game didn't think it'd do anything

Here's the explanation from XMI:
[Q]We restarted the encoder ten minutes before gametime, shortly after Adam and
Bob were on screen. Sometimes, a media player will have problems picking the
feed back up when the encoder restarts.
Restarting your computer, while time consuming, is the best way to get the
video again. Try that.[/Q]

These stupid bastards got paid by ECAC to broadcast for free!
Otherwise they would charge $5 as usual for piece of crap feed.

Now it's back and running.
But it's apparent these XMI guys are trying to play with this feed.
As a recent Cornell engineering alumni, I really don't think direct feedback of TV to internet is THAT hard unless they try to play with it.

no, bob, i don't have a clear picture of why cornell has had 28 shutouts since the 2000-2001 season. my xmi feed is frozen again. but it is a nice thought to have frozen on one's screen.
needless so say, i have bob, adam and sporadic picture on one computer and the cornell audio on the other computer.

XMI's lost feed corrupted my Windows Media PLayer, which I had to reinstall per their instructions...rebooting didnt work.
Here is their email to me....so much for taking responsibility for shit service...I missed the entire third period.

I am sorry that you missed so much action, Arik. Losing the feed rarely
corrupts the entire player like it did for you. I've only heard of that
drastic a recovery step once before. I'm not sure what about your
configuration or your player created the perfect storm, but something did.
Not that it makes you feel any better, of course, or makes the service you
recieved any better, but the vast majority of our users were able to view the
entire third period. The problem was with your player.

I had the same problem as you, and had to reinstall. In all fairness to xmi...it really isn't their fault that WMP is so temperamental about disruptions in service. It sucks to miss the third period...but xmi isn't completely to blame. Blame Microsoft.

I blame XMI regardless. There is no excuse for continual feed disruptions. 99% uptime should be the service standard. THey are not even close to this. If you can't do it right then don't do it.
THere's got to be some engineering grads out there that could blow XMI away with a new company to replace them. This is amateur hour.
Also if they had any decent FAQ suggesting a reinstall I would have tried it long before all the reboots etc.
And yes, WMP shouldn't be tempermental. But then again it worked fine the first 4 times the signal dropped. Thank god I wasn't paying.
