VLC, right. I now it's just being pixelated...that's probably my problem, though.

I had all kinds of fun yesterday until I followed the suggestion on the NASA website (on the right hand side) and downloaded Media Player 10. I actually downloaded Media Player 11, I think. It worked beautifully after that. Just wonderful.

Apparently the Archimedes feed has been freezing all day, every two to three seconds.

But it's likely just my dad's internet connection.

Anyone else notice this?

It was doing that until I upgraded Windows Media Player to 10, as suggested by Jane.

Most issues can be relieved by upgrading to Windows Media Player 11.

Any other issues will probably result in upgrading your internet connection.

Archimedes was doing that for me yesterday too. It's working fine for me now, but I'm not sure if it's because I have a better internet connection now or if it was some other issue that was resolved.

I still can't open it in Windows Media Player. I tried downloading 11, but it said that I had a better version, and they won't let me downgrade...I'm just using VLC now.

I had some crashes yesterday trying to watch Galileo. Stream died after 2 secs. Otherwise than that its all good.

How does one open the webcast with VLC?

Right click the webcast link and download it. Then open it with VLC.

Open VLC. Media->Open Network Stread->Enter URL
(Einstein's URL is http://mfile.akamai.com/18569/live/r...p=46758&prop=n )

Edit: Or do Sean's right click stuff...

[George1902]

Am I the only one getting no sound on the webcast?

Edit: Fixed! I guess I should have complained about it sooner...

Is anyone else haveing the voice and video not synced on Einstein?

[Karibou]

I have sound. But during the eliminations, Archimedes was the only one that consistently had sound. Curie, Galileo, and Newton were almost constantly out.

For those of us home, is there anything else thats going to be broadcasted with the end of Einstein or are we done?
