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  ::screwy::

[jkahn]

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.

[ugarte]

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.

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.

[abmarks]

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.
