Pot Black recording

Yes, it's working!!
It'll be great if we (the outside the UK members) manage to watch the matches too!
Thanks for all the efforts.

What video player are you using, I tried windows media player and it won't connect.

I must be doing something wrong. This one: 89.167.152.110 (port 3128) is alive and working according to my pinging efforts, but I'm not getting the Beeb site. Does it work for anyone else?

No, doesn't work at all for me (proxy server refuses connection or something like that)

nothing working so far here....

last time I had this one working somehow: 130.88.203.26 3128

It WAS working when I tried it first but not now!
I use windows media player too and the connection went fine the first time, but now that I tried it again I got this error message:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct."

@JPK: nope, doesn't work here.

I just installed a nifty little adon for Firefox that might possibly give me the direct URLs as soon as they are up on the Beep page. So I'll just refresh over there for a while. It starts in an hour, right? Or am I wrong again?

I just got Exploder to work with the following:

Proxy: 194.80.38.243
Port: 3127

What's the name of the addon?

What's the name of the addon?

UnPlug. I've been running a couple of tests, and it looks promising.

"UnPlug scans web pages and tells you where things like media players and other embedded objects are getting their data from, and displays it as a simple hyperlink: in most cases, you can then follow the simple download link to save the media file."

I will record it from the beeb, so anyone, not having online footage and wanting a copy can contact me. I am in a good mood. No costs involved. (Unless requests are by the dozens)

Cheers!

ps. request can be made by mail as I will be gone till wednesday evening. PM box might be full

Just had a brainwave.

Zattoo is a brilliant new program with which you can watch all BBC channels, almost in real time. And it's completely free and legal.

First, download Zattoo from here.
(Click through "Zum Download").

Once you have downloaded and installed, it will ask you for login details.
