U2 at the BBC (Radio 2)

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Well even if it starts working for you, everyone outside the UK gets a message "Not available in your area".

Unless something has changed? But usually I can never see the vids there even when the site is working.

Vixy.net is giving me fits today - I tried it multiple times on my two computers and it's just not working. Guess I will try it again
Ahh right! That's the only way I know how to do it.

Can I just ask - for people in the UK who can access the 'red button'...

Is the Live Lounge gig gonna be available to watch on there soon? Or is it already on there, and my TV is broken? :lol:
 
Oh heck while I'm at it...

I can't get these to extract. It tells me the files are corrupted and to download again. :huh: And I did. :|
Still doesn't work. :angry:

Help!
 
I haven't downloaded this yet, and I'll wait a while till this is sorted out, these files are huge :wink:

I've recreated that archive and there are new links in the sticky info thread.

I spent a bit of time this afternoon writing it out properly and Sicy updated it a short time ago.

PM me if there are more issues.

Did amyone else have problems playing The Zane TMF one? it shudders on my PC? :hmm:

God I still can't believe I saw them Friday :hyper: So glad Bono did not plunge to his death in front of me :sad:
 
:bump: Sorry folks if this has already been posted, but I didn't see it. This video came up on the BBC site. It's a clip of video from the Chris Evans interview. I know he said that day that video of the interview would be put up, so hopefully the rest will be there soon.

BBC - U2 - Live Lounge

For some reason I could watch this, even as a non-UKer. :shrug:

The reason you can view clips outside of the UK is I believe due to the BBC hosting some of these clips on their own site. The majority of the files are located here cp57798.edgefcs.net and can only be played by a flash player or a grabbed with a download tool/FLV recorder that mimics one. I guess this is the site used for the BBC iPlayer media and there is something on the site that checks your IP address when it connects.

The source code for the Chris Evans video page above refers to the following playlist...

h*ttp://www.bbc.co.uk/musicevents/u2/emp/chrisevans1.xml

which refs this file...

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/musicevents/u2/u2_chrisevans_1.flv

hence you can download all three from this post :D

Anyway, all three clips are present in the BBCi highlights files, FLV and MPG, that I've already uploaded to Send-space :wink:
