Can you get this to play

iadom · 03-01-2005, 19:51

Just found this weird site, I can get the jukebox to load, it then takes a minute or so when it appears to be queing the tracks but when they are loaded I cannot get them to play. My shockwave flash is up to date. And I can hear the sounds as I select the menu items.???

Works for me, takes about 20 secs for it to load the track, but it works

Plays fine here using IE, Opera of Firefox.

They play here, have you checked to see if you need any certain codecs loaded? Since it requires a pop up window you may want to make sure your firewall isn't interrupting anything that is necessary.

That may be the answer, I get the jukebox window popup but nothing else.

Works fine for me even with NIS 2005 loaded

Well I tried the link again and it failled to play any tracks, you may just be unlucky in trying to request music while the server is swamped but just in case it is the firewall etc make sure that you aren't blocking
207.150.192.12 as that is the address it accesses for the tracks.

Still no joy, downloaded the latest flash just to make sure, allowed all cookies etc in my firewall.
The pop up player window comes up and the tracks appear to load but no sound or any sign of the progress bar moving. Just tell me its not worth the effort and I will give it up as a bad job,

Works fine for me - some nice electronic ambient mixes - not sure if it's possible to download them rather than stream them though ...

Yep, you're not really missing much. In all honesty, and no offence intended, I think your PC si doing you a favour

I didn't find them, my download manager did ... I could tell it not to go for MP3 files, but if I find one, I'd normally download and play offline.

I'm using an older version, and in IE, I'd describe the capture of downloads as "quite strong" - though it can't catch Windows updates, and a few other things.
You may also have to turn off ".exe" grabbing, as it tends to download "counter.exe" from pages that use that for their CGI hit counter.

With that set, any track you click on that site will be grabbed! - the momentary opt-out, is holding SHIFT and clicking, while to force it to take something, it's ALT+CTRL, or Right click and choose "Download with Download express"

One thing, I'd lower the maximum threads from 7, that's just being brutal to the host server for no real gain - some servers won't let you have more than 2, and I've never needed to push harder than 3 or 4.
