"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - cycling.tv?

Ummm, I'm getting a page that reads at the top, " This Domain has expired." Did somebody at cycling.tv forget to renew their domain registration? :o

Hmm....It's working for me.

This is the link (http://www.cycling.tv/) I've been using. Is this correct?

Works for me, although it immediately redirects. Maybe your browser is blocking the redirect.

Try this (http://player.narrowstep.tv/?player=cycling)

Yeah I'm being redirected to the link you give, Brillig. But I'm seeing this:

I clicked on the first link you gave, and I got cycling.tv. Did you somehow get a pop up blocker on your computer? If so, maybe it's blocking the second page that pops up, which leads you to the redirected picture you posted (which, btw, locked my computer and caused me to have to reboot!).

Works for me. I'm using Firefox.

I too am using Firefox. Still, it doesn't work in IE6 either. I've turned off all popup blocking and enabled Javascript stuff I usually block. Nothing. They're outsmarting my browsers some how. :rolleyes: I'll try again when I get home.

Maybe you have to restart your computer once you've done all that stuff.

Is this from work? My comapny blocks all streeming and java chats don't work either. Maybe your company is blocking it some how. That said the link worked for me.

I'm using Firefox too.

What a bunch of geeks we are. :D

Shouldn't have to restart a computer for browser changes to take hold.

I do streaming media for a living and work for a public TV station. Small enough that we don't enforce any fascist rules about what can and can't be browsed (within reason). E-mail is a different story though.

I believe our DNS server (resolves names like narrowstep.tv to a numeric address) is to blame. I can't ping narrowstep.tv:

c:\>ping narrowstep.tv

Pinging narrowstep.tv [212.100.236.23] with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 212.100.236.23:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

I am going to give my network admin some razzing right now. Have to see if I can pull him away from his DVD burning long enough to figure this out. I'll tell him I'm getting better tech support from a bike forum. :p

Thanks, folks.

Actually, no. The fact that you get

Pinging narrowstep.tv [212.100.236.23] with 32 bytes of data:

Tells you that the DNS server resolved the name successfully (to 212.100.236.23)

The narrowstep.tv server is choosing not to respond to your ping requests (the same thing happens here). More and more servers do that now as a security precaution.

Yay! Firefox!



I'm using Firefox too.

You have a point. Anybody have a link to the popup page itself?

http://player.narrowstep.tv/nsp.aspx?player=cycling

Try this... I don't know if it will work: http://player.narrowstep.tv/?player=cycling

Hee hee Brillig... you've got some nimble fingers! :)

I see we've met. ;)

Works from home. I didn't have time to fiddle at work, so I'll "set aside some time" tomorrow to fix it. Panic came over me today. Thought I had lost an important resource.

Thanks again, folks.

Okay, geeks, have any of you gotten the cycling.tv player to work under Linux?

lyle, yes. I use Konqueror at home (from KDE). I had to configure Konqueror to use the mplayer plugin. Don't remember all of the steps I took to make it work. Of course, you have to have mplayer installed. Here's a forum (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=205122) that discusses setup. It's specific to Gentoo, but it may point you in the right direction.

Great, thanks. I do run Gentoo, and suspect that I don't have the mplayer plugin installed/configured correctly. That link looks like it'll get me up and running.
