Good time slot to have it on

[Rob!]

Let's enjoy it while we've got it. I hate to sound like a miserable bastard but I'm not optimistic about it tbh. Fingers crossed I'm proved wrong

I assumed the digital guys at the end of the show were going to mention it, but no... nothing.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

[smudgie]

Not working on the iPad app.

[jackc1806]

It isn't working on C5 website/app even though it is available. Still testing perhaps even though it is on the site?

[Im_Juz_ChiLLin]

got this from ds on how to watch it from vlc player apparently its working fine....

Late Night Live Feed - technical stuff about how to watch it
I'm going to try to pull together in one place all the ideas that appeared all over the place last night.

If you go to bed at Sensible O'Clock you will be unaware of this, but late last night the forums went crazy when glimmers and snatches of live feed appeared, on the page where the video clips usually are.

Some people could see them and some not. It's not known if C5 were just testing, or had big teething troubles, or whatever.

Then the very wonderful Wowsers over at the TIBB forums posted that the address of the feed was

http://brightcove03-f.akamaihd.net/B...g=WYVMTRSXQKUE

Brightcove being C5's video contractors.

Then a lot of people realised simultaneously that the free VLC Media Player is capable of playing network streams, as this method has been used previously in earlier seasons for BB live feed. People familiar with doing this reported instant success, with very good picture quality, and were able to watch the LF until it pinged off at 2am. They were very happy bunnies and went off to bed with silly grins on their faces. Others were not so fortunate. There are confirmed reports of a DS member in Watford, Hertfordshire, who chopped her laptop in half with a kitchen meat-cleaver. A man in Glamorgan attempted suicide by overdosing on Cheryl Cole music. A woman in Edinburgh stuffed her smartphone up her husband's arse and told him his chances of any action that night were zero.


This is only for PCs and Windows - hopefully instructions will be added by others for Macs and mobile devices. If all this is too much for you, invite your friendly local computer-nerd-type person round, give them a glass of wine, and ask them to do it for you.

1. You need to find out if you already have VLC Media Player installed.
Start > All Programs. Scroll up and down the list looking for "Videolan". If it's there click it and VLC Media Player should appear. If it does, don't start it yet.

2. If not, go to http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html and click the orange box "Download VLC." Follow instructions as usual.
Do you want to run or save? Click Run
Are you sure you want to run it? Yes
Welcome > Next > Next
Choose components > Next > Next
VLC Media Player installs.
Completing > Finish
"Privacy & Network Access policy" > click Save & Continue

3. Still with me? Well done. The internet is hell isn't it?

4. ~Now you need to copy and paste the link I posted above into VLC. Tricky, because the method depends on which web browser you're using.(and a good example how tricky it is to give unambigous instructions. Click the link then

Chrome: Right-click > Copy link address
Internet Explorer: Right-click > Copy shortcut
Firefox: Right click > Copy link location

5. Them run VlC, click Media > Network stream then

6. Copy & paste the address into the Network stream slot then OK

7. If peeps could post parallel instructions for Macs and mobile devices (also Windows 8) that would be spiffing.

8. The thing is, even if C5 get the feed working on the site tonight (I think they will), this method is a much more convenient way to watch it, with (probably) better picture quality. C5 may block it, but there's no sensible reason for them to do so, as it doesn't adversely affect their income stream in any way.

If this doesn't work, please post an exact description of what happens, error messages etc, which version of Windows you're using and which browser. Someone will help you.
