[videoblogging] BlipTV videos not playing (anyone else see this?)

2008-11-03 Thread michaelaivaliotis
This has been plaguing me for the past 2-3 days. Some videos on BlipTV
just simply don't play for me. Specifically this affects my own videos
but I've also noticed it on other videos as well. For example i can't
watch Ruperts video: http://twittervlog.tv/?p=470

The Flash player simply shows a black window. I can't watch the source
video either, so it's not isolated to the flash player. I've tested
this on a Mac and PC. I've also had a friend of mine test this so I
know it's not my service provider.

The problem is also intermittent. Sometimes it will play and sometimes
it will not. When it doesn't play all you get is a black box inside
the player window with a spinning throbber.

I've contacted BlipTV but they don't know what the problem is. Am I
crazy? has anyone else noticed this?

I noticed a similar but different problem. This morning at the MeFeedia
vlomo08 site/channel, I was watching some of the video - some blip-based
videos, like Ryanne's I Voted video, wouldn't play - it just acted like it
was infinitely loading. But when I visited her site, the video played fine.

Not sure if this is related or not...

You're not crazy.  Others have noticed the issue, we blogged about it at
http://blog.blip.tv/blog/2008/11/03/isolated-problems-throughout-the-we
ekend/ and we are still in the process of sleuthing, but according to
our network engineer, the problem has cleared up in the past hour.
Please let us know at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you find any more problems.

Thanks,
Charles

I've had the same problem on one of my videos. I tried on safari and  
firefox with the same results. A few hours later I tried again and the  
video displayed correctly.

What a drag.  These things happen occasionally at most of the video  
sites, and then get resolved.
As far as my videos are concerned, you can almost always find other  
copies of them at Vimeo and Ovi, but of course that doesn't address  
the problem at Blip.  Glad that Charles says it's resolved now.  I  
have to say, over time I've found Blip more reliable than all the  
other video sites in terms of downtime and problems.
