Web feed problems

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]

crap- DEAD!!!!

Crap - Lost it. Anybody else?

back up

me dead too

shiT
this XMI GUYS ARE ALWAYS CRAP!
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THESE STUPID KIDS RUNNING XMI!!!!!!!!!

nope- DEAD as a doornail

now dead

I HATE XMI!!!!
CRAP! SHIT!

Webcast is dead on the West Coast

Aaaaargh!

dead
i just told my wife when she called before she left from work that i found somewhere to watch the game...on the computer. lol she is gonna be mad

THESE BASTARDS SHOULD KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

THEY ARE PAID BY ECAC, AND NOW THIS CRAP SHIT AGAIN??!!

HOW do you get Vermont audio

back up
choppy but back
thanks xmi

I rebooted and got the video back on.
No audio though.

NO AUDIO FOR ME

What are you thanking for!?

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

and now it's down again!!!!

now i have neither
gotta reboot for another reason so why not kill 2 birds with one stone
lol

Back again. In commercial?

I can't believe this!
They dubbed their own commercial. freakin

Schafer saying anything interesting? I have no audio at work.

I am not working much.

XMI freaks cut audio for schafer's interview, instead they put in their own commercial

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.

my feed is still down..and now i'm getting some error message about a firewall problem that i wasn't getting before. blech.

Am I the only one loading it, having it start to buffer, and then stop with it just saying "buffering" in the status label area?

got audio and video in between buffering and choppiness
gonna decrease my buffer

jordan-same problem here

Works now for me.

not me- i an fucked

I am going to set up a company next season to throw out XMI.
I will feed the game flawlessly.

well video is stuck on cornell fans clapping in a frozen frame but audio is perfect

I can't get back in - getting same message re "firewall" that JTW was getting earlier. I've rebooted 3 times without any change. Now listening to UVM radio.

I'm in. 2 minutes gone in 3d period.

Tried one more time and got in - who knows why this time. Now listening to both feeds and watching the video.

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.

so much imagination over frozen ice

Rebooting solved that problem for me.

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.

well, i got the "server not responding" for the xmi feed of the hahvahd-colgate game. re-downloading the feed didn't help.
not worth dealing with so i went to sucks free audio.... hahvahd is up 1-0 about 1/2 through the 2nd.
