Try double-clicking on the video image (I'm assuming you have a touchpad or equivalent for your laptop).  Or activate the contextual menu on the video image, and go to zoom --> full screen.  I use WMP 9 and those both work for me.

nope, no luck with that. is it possible it is a mac/pc thing?

Anybody else still failing to get the game feed?

I assume pre-game should be running now, but WMP doesn't load anything.

Edit:  Never mind...just came on as I posted this.

Nope.  My WMP just says "Ready."  What time did it come on last night?

[Al DeFlorio]

Broadcast on now at 6:49--and perhaps before.

[jeffdav_CU91]

I'm still seeing 'Ready'.

Last night the feed started way early - 6:25 or so.

The audio feed is there however.

[jeffdav_CU91]

nevermind - just kicked in

So I guess everyone's broadcast is working?

Mine will say "playing" for a few seconds but then just says "ready"

Instant replay button??

From the CSTV FAQ:

5. Can I watch my game feed in my computer's media player, or do I have to use the CSTV.com-provided one?

You can watch the game in your computer's stand alone media player if you prefer.

If you are using Windows Media format, use the following process:

   1. Right-click on the media player functions in the CSTV.com Media Player and select Properties.
   2. In the File tab, to the right of Location, you will find the URL. Copy the entire URL.
   3. Then, launch your Windows Media Player from your Start menu.
   4. In the Windows Media Player, pull down the File menu and select Open URL.
   5. Paste the URL into the URL value box and click OK.

This needs to performed quickly or else the authentication will time out. Playing the
game in the stand alone player is useful for resizing the picture to the size of your
choice. To resize the picture, simply click and drag the corner of the media player.

Anyone having problems with the picture freezing up?  I just started All-Access today and turned the game on towards the end of the first period.  My sound cuts out and comes back occassionally, but what is really annoying is that I can't seem to keep a moving picture for more than a few seconds at a time.  The sound keeps going and I am stuck with a still shot of something 1 1/2 minutes ago.

[cth95]

I can reclick on the camera icon and it will buffer and start moving again, but it is not very entertaining to have to do this every minute or two.
Sometimes I have to completely exit everything and start over again.  I am screwing around about 3 minutes for every minute of game I am seeing if not worse.

I have been having the same problem, along with Al, and probably a few others.

I suspect there is a problem at the source, because I have zero packet loss and 30 seconds of buffering and still see the problem.
