Author: dognxtdoor    Time: 4-3-2007 10:02     Subject: SOLVES MOST VIEWING PROBLEMS!

sitting waiting after hitting play does nothing..you can leave it for 5 days and it will just sit there?

Why you might ask?  Good question, you see its waiting on a connection, but its not making the connection, so, It will just sit there waiting, and waiting and waiting.

So how do I solve such a dilema? Good Question!

A. You can refresh your browser after waiting about 10 seconds and not seeing the first frame, then refresh hit play again, and repeat until you see that first frame. When you see that first frame. DATA is CROSSING! you will see your show.

or...

B. Click Play, wait a few seconds, Click STOP, wait, CLICK PLAY, REPEAT! again until you see that first frame. make sure you wait 5 to 10 seconds between hitting Play and hitting Stop.

This should work, as I have watched an entire season over the last couple days of Prison Break.

Have Fun and Keep Watching!

Yeah, thats what I do, watched most of Grey's Anatomy without too many problems. Once it starts up its fine, its just getting the intial 1% to load is tricky.

1. Download the Firefox at http://www.friendvista.com/firefox/,'cause you know it has been processed than the commom ones .and it is more convenient to use .
2. You could become the VIP members through donation and other means , and the VIP channel is among the best .

Yes, we could do that.... Or perhaps the inadequacies of the player could be improved upon?
I get that this site is free, and it always has the most up-to-date selection of the best shows, however as a result it has claimed a monopoly on all links for other sites, instead of capable link finders looking on better quality sites, they just direct here.

Essentially every problem has been noted before, and truthfully I occasionally get on a good role with this site in terms of continuity of playback etc... However as far as the player goes; the pause button is redundant as it doesn't pause at all, it simply resets the loading, and the frame navigator is also redundant as it doesn't allow you to actually navigate through the video. I guarantee that if just those two problems were addressed, people would have much easier way of using the player.

And again, I do appreciate this service being around, how you manage to get episodes faster than everyone else astounds me. Keep up the good job.

This worked for me to, but not anymore, it starts anytime, but loads one y one procent., but now i discovered when i load it almost fully(one by one percent) and you click above in the frame, were normally stands faq: is this video unavailable and click on previious (internet) and click play you can watch it smoothly

All in all, TV-Video works for me!  It has ALL or most rather than some episodes of the best TV shows.  I do totally agree with the pause button being redundant and that you can't navigate, but I can deal with that.  My biggest gripe is that about three weeks ago, I started watching the many House episodes I missed last year, and although I got through a few of them with the one by one percent loading thing, there's one episode in particular that simply will not play past thirty-five percent.  When it gets to that point, the picture freezes and the loading percent just keeps going.  One time it loaded to 320 % before I finally gave up and restarted it--for the umpteenth time!  Has this happened to any of you?  Also, it says on the website to post viewing problems in the forum.  I didn't see any forum link until I went to the Vip Channel link, which lead me here.  Meanwhile, I'm still not sure where to post the problem.  Can someone redirect me?


Happy viewing!!!

I tend to watch it and let it play in the background when things load up and switch when I'm getting image and sound again
It would be nice to be able to navigate through the episode without having the whole thing load again, but I don't know enough to be able to say wheter this is fixable or not. Probably not otherwise you would have done it

Well that's it I guess...

Please try this, it was posted by Dragon73. He has stated that he has had success with this after he changed settings in REALPLAYER.  I have not tested this myself yet, but found it while reading through the posts.  Here is what he wrote.

In Real Player I went to Tools > Preferences > Connection.

I clicked the test connection button and changed my settings accordingly.

I selected the lowest DSL/Cable connection, but it obviously depends on your connection type. I found that being conservative on your connection speeds helps.

I also found that wiring my PC to the modem instead of wireless worked better.

I have successfully watched Prison Break now using this method which I had previously had problems in watching.

Also he suggested the following.

In addition make sure the Cache on demand stream box is checked under Playback settings
Author: presario511    Time: 4-25-2007 15:18     Subject: Need Help

I have read several things about correcting some "general error" problems with realplayer, but has anyone had the player stop, say it was "communicating", reload, begin to play -- play for say about 5 minutes, stop, "communicating", reload, etc., and then stop and say "timeout" or "connection to server could not be established.  You could be experiencing a network problem.  Well the only thing wrong with that is that everything is connected -- email, my computer phone,  instant messaging, etc.  This happened a lot with Grey's Anatomy, but then I switched and tried to watch Desperate housewives....now it cuts off completely.  Yep I've emptied the cookies, changed speeds, etc. I have turned off and on the pop up blocker, exited programs.  These problems did not happen until recently - say in the last week or so - I say this because other test ran pretty smoothly.  Any suggestions?

Anyone else know a way to solve this?

Author: katiedid0985    Time: 4-30-2007 19:15     Subject: Still not working right

I hate to complain, but I've tried everyone's suggestions and it still won't work for me!  Well it will start, but then it freezes, like someone else said and keeps loading to what seems to be infinity.  If I stop it and start again (or reload the page) after that it will play a bit farther, but it keeps happening.  I've tried going through this cycle to get to the end of an episode to watch it through smoothly, but either it takes waaaaaaay more time than I have or it will go up to a certain point and then start freezing earlier when I try to restart it.  I have Firefox, I have real player, I'm on a Mac w/ osx (idk if that changes things).  Any other suggestions?
Author: dognxtdoor    Time: 4-30-2007 20:08

It's ok, I know it is frustrating, but with all the current donations, I am sure you will see improvements over both sites, the VIP was done on very little contributions from users, and now with all those contributions coming in to use it, I can only imagine the improvements we will see on this site. Please be patient. I will not repeat the number of pieces of advice I am sure you have read and tried. I can only hope it will get better for you.

Have Fun and Keep Watching

I have also found that increasing your time-out on the RealPlayer significantly cuts down on time-outs. Part of the issue is that if Realplayer does not receive information from the server within a certain amount of seconds (Default is usually only around 30 secs), it gives a time-out. In periods of high traffic, a lower time-out number causes more errors.
Tools->Preferences->Connection->Network Time-Out

I currently have it set 300/300 and it seems to help significantly.

Also ensure that underneath the Network Time-Out section, you have the box checked that says Assume I am Online.

I still occasionally am having problems, but they are rarely time-outs.

I don't know how low the bandwidth is, but it took literally 2 and a half hours to download a 20-minute episode of Family Guy. I have a decent connection, so I know the problem is not on my end. But it's so frustrating! I'll get 3 or 4 seconds of footage to play, and then it has to buffer again. Is there any way to improve this? I've gone through this thread and tried a lot of the options advised, but nothing works.

awww, dognxtdoor, i have to say what i am going to say. Your little speech was really sweet.. sorry i really needed to say that "Thank you keighleigh I look forward to giving out credits to so many posters that deserve it such as your self." Sorry i do not watch the office, and as it is reserved for VIP members,I prefer to preserve my points for DH!!

Hello,

I have watched all of season 3 of niptuck except for episode 315 without any problems. When I click on episode 315 the tv video net player doesn't even show up, nothing shows up, except for a white blank box.  Can anyone please tell me what might be wrong or how I can view this video, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers

I am glad most of you at least get a glimpse of the episode you want to watch ... I keep staring at a grey picture with www.tv-video.net on it ...And I've tried everything. It just won't load!! It says waiting ...but it never comes to transferring and then it just says done...  

I will keep trying...just because I'm a die-hard and I obviously don't have anything better to do but if someone had the same problem plzzzz give me some suggestions.

Oh and even though I haven't been able to see anything I still think it's a great site...damn all my favorite shows online without all that download stuff you see on other sites.

I really don't have a clue on what's possible with having a site like this but just a question... why don't you let the video's open directly in real player??
Author: funny-girl101    Time: 9-14-2007 13:21     Subject: Reply #23 Miauw's post

Keep on refreshing the page...you can sit and stare at the screen for hours and nothing will happen if it doesn't load.

Why don't you try watching some of the free shows and see if you like it. You can earn points on the forum and use those to watch shows on the VIP channel. Be sure to drop by the Welcome and Introduction thread to get some easy points.
Author: Miauw    Time: 9-17-2007 09:46

I've tried that. After a million times i started thinking that maybe it was my connection or there was something wrong with my computer. But I started clicking on other shows and they do respond ..so ER is the only one who isn't. It doesn't matter what season I click on it just doesn't respond. So does anyone else have the same problem?? Or know how to solve this? Or know why it only happens with ER?

In other words..HELP!!

(oh and sorry if I make some weird sentences and stuff...English isn't my first language).
Author: waterlilybarb    Time: 9-17-2007 11:08     Subject: Reply #25 Miauw's post

Firstly, don't worry, your English is fine...we have many members who don't have English as their first language.

I've checked this out, and seem to be having the same problem as you.  It will not even begin loading the episode.  I will bring this to the attention of the site administrators.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  

Have you checked out our VIP channel yet.  Try some of the Free Shows.  If you like it, you might find yourself interested in VIP membership.  
All the information for that is provided here: VIP Membership (Donations, Points, & More).

You can get started earning some points in our Welcome and Introduction Thread.

Once again, sorry for the inconvenience, and hopefully this problem will be resolved shortly.

Author: Heathen    Time: 10-2-2009 09:04     Subject: not loading, but used to

Have their been any changes in the TV-video.net setup in the past couple of months which would affect loading?  I had no problem before, could download from my browser (buffering all the way of course, but it's an old compute. I couldn't watch straight from the site because it would stop every 10 seconds to reload & bufferr).  But now, nothing. Not with Firefox, IE, Avant, Google. None of my settings have changed. The only thing that gives the option to download from this site is the .swf files on the page.  Refresh, reload, click various combinations of the buttons, and still loading is stuck at zero.

Forgot to add that these results are with the free, not VIP programs, and it doesn't matter which program I choose.

Though I had tried different episodes of Weeds, season 2 , and Supernatural with no luck, I saw your post & decided to give it another shot. One episode from the 1st season of 30 Rock is now downloading. Thank you!  I guess it's just cetain shows, though season 1 of Weeds and a couple supernatural from last year did fine. Also will be checking out the beginnings of Sons of Anarchy, as I hate to come in in the middle.

Hi! Does anyone else have problem watching? Even though it buffers ok, it still stops every other second and I get that loading circle, like the JW player is having issues...it looks the same as when you have bad internet connection and it reloads to buffer, but the problem remains even though the ep. is buffered, I´ve had this problem now for 2 days. Everything on my end is up to date, cookies has been removed, vpn does not make a difference, my browser is up to date, I have good internet connection and so on... I´m on a laptop with Win 10 and I´m using Chrome as my browser....it worked just fine before and I have not changed anything on my laptop....getting a bit frustrated since I´ve paid for a 30 day pass, and I can´t watch anything due to this problem, and I can´t figure out what the problem is... Anyone have any ideas on what´s wrong? Does anyone else have the same problem?
