  • I have now tried viewing the video in both Google Chrome 6 and Firefox 3.6.1 both with NEWEST FLASH player installed. And both logged in and logged out. The flash container is loading (although invisible) but it never loads the video feed, controls or anything.

    Okay looks like there webhost dynect.net is having DNS Server issues. If you open a dos windows (or command line for you Linux geeks) and tracert the servers IP address which is: [74.201.81.148] then it will cache the DNS in your system and let the video load. It looks like they have 4 DNS servers:

     

          NS1.P03.DYNECT.NET - Not Responding to Pings
          NS2.P03.DYNECT.NET - Working
          NS3.P03.DYNECT.NET - Not Responding to Pings
          NS4.P03.DYNECT.NET - Working

    Richard--

     

    Thanks for posting this. I'll give it to our techs + see if we can sort this out with our video partners.

    OK, I have an update.

     

    Richard-- you were right! Turns out our video partners had a DNS problem last night. It's been resolved, but it takes between 12 - 36 hours for it to propagate across the Interwebs. At last check, over 3/4 of servers out there have been correctly updated, but my guess is that you are part of the remainder which is still in need of a refresh. I've been told that by tonight, nearly all of our users should be able to view it again.

     

    We're sorry this happened-- please do let me know when you are able to view the episode. Not to be mean, but it's a really good one. image

     

    Cheers,
    Sagar
