Need help to view vids from streetfire.net I can never view the videos off of Streetfire.net. The page loads but the video player just sits there black and says ready at the bottom. What's wrong?

Please PM me a link or post it here. Also what OS, browser and type of connection are you using?
Everything is working fine from what I can tell. Some videos have been inappropriate and have had to be deleted (Copyright, etc) so that could be it. But that's a small percentage.

I don't like watching a video and have it pause for a few seconds while buffering. Here's how I watch Streetfire vids, and I haven't had a single problem:
- Turn my speakers down or off so I can't hear the vids playing in background windows.
- Open the Streetfire links in a new windows, and let them sit still while I browse the rest of the MME forum.
- After a few minutes and after the videos have played all the way through once, I switch to the Streetfire windows and click play then watch them all the way through.

That place is annoying. If I so much as move my mouse while a video is loading to screen turns either black or white but the video continue's to plays. But you can't see it, only hear it.
I never have that problem with other sites that stream videos.

If you guys don't mind, please email me your IP address. I want to see if it's a latency issue or too many hops. It seams to be working for the vast majority of people out there but obviously we want to make it work for everyone.
I'm wondering if it's certain ISPs or certain parts of the country.

If you're running XP and Windows Media Player it should work fine in Firefox 1.0/1.1 or IE 6. I would recommend downloading Windows Media Player 10 from

Latency is fine for me, it's just coding or something. It'll start out fine, but if I look at it wrong
the screen turns white and all I get is sound.

None of the streaming is currently from the IP address you listed. That's just an app server.
As for the problem with the white screen, from my experience that's a Firefox/Mozilla (non-IE) problem. Just alt-tab twice so that you switch to another window and then back and it fixes it. Takes 2 seconds.

Are you sitting behind a proxy server or corporate firewall?
