Late Night Live Feed - technical stuff about how to watch it

Some people could see the feed on ch5 website and some not. It's not known if C5 are just testing, or have big teething troubles, or whatever.

The address of the feed is:

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.

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.

Charlie and Dexter in bed together, after Dexter declared his love for her yesterday.

Yae that one was just them eating and getting ready to do something interesting, we did some some of the tasks though that was the best bit about it.

I do much prefer this late night stream.

I think there's something quite sweet about Dexter. Just watching on the app - no adverts, minimal birdsong, love it.

ThisIsNickkk · 11-07-2013, 11:38 PM

it was great to begin with but became a bit tedious and it was at the time of day where they were just relaxing, much more to see at this time of the night
