Does anyone else have a problem getting the videos from MGoBlue.com to stream properly?
Both at work and at home, on my Mac and my work PC, using Firefox, Safari, and IE it is almost always choppy and completely unwatchable.
I have downloaded the latest flash player...still nothing.
All other sites using flash players have no issues...I am at a loss.
Anyone else having this issue?
i use google chrome and i
It's not you, it's
It's not you, it's mgoblue.com. I have e-mailed them about this issue before. They are supposed to be working on it. However, I've only experienced this problem with firefox.

Concur with the post above
I've had issues as well, but when I switch over to IE it works fine. This is in particular with the hockey games broadcast on mgoblue.com, but I've also experienced it with the shorts they put up there.
"Tremendously outstanding indeed"
Nope
I watch using Safari at home and IE6 at work, no problems.
mine wouldnt load at all
mine wouldnt load at all cause of my pop up blocker and after i fixed that it was choppy. But to solve it somewhat just pause it and let it load for a few minutes.
I can't get the audio files
I can't get the audio files to work with Firefox. Every time I get on there it tries to download a plugin, then says it can't find it. Other than that, no problems.

The plug-in doesn't ever
The plug-in doesn't ever install for firefox. It's the one browser with the most problems. I do have trouble getting it to load on occasion with IE, but refreshing it once has generally worked for me. I'd really like to see either BTN.com or MGoBlue.com step up either of their coverages. It was pretty cool of MGoBlue to stream the diving finals, but I think there is a huge market for pay-per-view sports (something like $9.95 a month or $60 a year)for the non-revenue sports and such. Several other schools and even conferences already have something like this in place.
Fake plug-in warning
On my Firefox, there is a false plugin notification (appears in the bar at the top). If that's what you are talking about, it really isn't a plugin; it's probably an error in the information that the server sends that makes it look like there is a plugin.
If you try to install it, it says it can't install plugin type "text/html". That's the content-type for a standard web page. You don't need a plugin for that.
If you are talking about the video loading, it just takes awhile for me, especially on slower or busy computers.
Problem may be high CPU
On my Windows computer, the videos use a lot of CPU (processor). If there aren't enough CPU resources to go around, the video could get choppy. Try closing other programs that are using CPU. You shouldn't have to do that -- you probably watch plenty of YouTube without any problem.
If you look in Task Manager (right-click on your taskbar, click Task Manager), and go to the Processes tab, you can see how much CPU Firefox/IE and other programs are using.
Thanks
