Video Player Problems

Having problems with MegaVideo?
Blocked by Veoh?
Video stops at 3-7 secs?
Video player didn't load? Then Read ON!

All video players in General

If Veoh is banned in your country, then install this [Hotspot Shield]. Once done, Veoh videos should load for you :)

If you are using FireFox and your videos only load 3-5 secs and/or there is no sound
Use the Astameth Solution…

If you notice that sometimes firefox loads videos only upto 3-5 secs and sometimes there is no sound… You can fix this by doing this… Quote: Tools (Menu Bar on Top of the Address Bar) -> Add-ons -> Plugins -> ShockWave Flash -> Press Disable -> Press Enable -> Refresh Page -> and That’s that. It somehow refreshes the cache of the previously loaded videos. It is just a temporary but effective solution… Let’s just wait for Mozilla Firefox or Adobe to Fix it. But you can also use Internet Explorer or Google Chrome or other browsers since AniLinkz is now compatible with ALL browsers. I prefer Google Chrome. Since so far, All videos are working with Google Chrome with no problems. ^_^

If you are using Internet Explorer or other browsers, Adobe flash player should have no problems. But if there is and you encounter a problem the same with the top, try Reinstalling Adobe Flash Player or UPDATE to the newest version (don’t use BETA versions).


MegaVideo Problems

"Video Removed" or "Copyright Infringment" Error
These videos are dead. so please report them so they can be fixed by our linkers

"Temporarily Unavailable"
If you encounter these kinds of problems when playing MegaVideo vids, all you need to do is watch it from their site. To do that, just refresh the page where the video is and press any part of the video that is OUTSIDE the PLAY BUTTON at the center. or just press the MEGAVIDEO LOGO on the lower right.

MegaVideo Viewing Limits
As you all know MegaVideo now has limits in viewing videos. I think you are only allowed to watch 1 hour of video airtime every 2 hours.
So heres what i can say.. (Methods below are arranged from most effective to least effective)

Best Method: Block Cookies and Play Video Offline

Quote:

These are not guarenteed to work for everyone (it depends on your ISP etc). Firstly clear your browsers cookies, next block all cookies coming from megavideo.com: Go to: Tools > Options (in firefox) Then click "Exceptions" and block "megavideo.com" & "www.megavideo.com" (without quotes) All you have to do is press the Play button then pause it to make the video buffer. Make it load all the way to the end. Once your video has completely loaded, Go to File > Work Offline. For Internet explorer users, to block the cookies go to Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Sites. You then input megavideo.com and www.megavideo.com to be blocked. To make internet explorer work offline, just go to Tools > Work Offline

Method 1: Conserve

Quote:

Don’t waste your precious 1 hour. Especially at checking videos. I think pressing the play button counts. For example, you press the Play button of a 20min video, then you don’t let it load and go to another page, i think it counts and you will have used 20min of your allotted 1hour

Method 2: Setting up a proxy to change IP

Quote:

Find a Proxy List site. You can find some Proxy IP list here: Quote: US Proxy List Canada Proxy List Proxy 4 Free I think the Type is not important ^_^. After choosing an IP and its port, set your browser to use a proxy. In Firefox you’ll have to do this: Quote: Go to Tools -> Options Go to Advanced -> Network -> Press "Settings" Choose "Manual proxy Configuration" -> Input the IP and the Port which you selected -> Check "Use this proxy server for all protocols" -> Press "OK" And that’s all In Internet Explorer (IE7) you’ll have to do this (Google Chrome and IE has the same settings) : Quote: Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Go to "Connections" Tab -> Press the "LAN Settings" found at the bottom -> In the "Proxy Server" Area, Check "Use Proxy Server for your LAN" the place where you input your proxy IP and port will be enabled -> Input your chosen proxy IP and port -> Check "Bypass proxy server for local addresses -> Press "OK" -> That’s all Test if the proxy is working by accessing Google.com. If you are able to go to google with the proxy settings, try viewing the video you wanted to watch in megavideo if it is now working. if it is still limiting you, go back to step 1 and find another IP. You can also try this program which automatically sets a proxy IP to your browsers. Hide IP Platinum Download

Method 3: Restarting Modem to change IP

Quote:

Turn off your Modem for 10 secs then turn it on again. This will change your IP since megavideo tracks the IP of the viewer. This method depends wether your Inter service provider does not assign you with a static (single) IP.

Method 4: Release and Renew your IP (For windows users only)

Quote:

Go to Start Menu -> Run.. Type "CMD". you will then have the command prompt of windows. In the command prompt type "ipconfig /release" (there will be a delay of 3-10 secs) Then lastly type "ipconfig /renew" note: don’t include the quotation marks. ^_^

Veoh Problems

Blocked by Veoh
If you see an error like "Video is not available in your area", it might be that your country is blocked by veoh. Here is the list of countries that are blocked by veoh. A Simple Solution to this is by using a PROXY. Proxy is like changing your IP and your country.

Use Method 2 above to bypass veoh block.

You can check if the Proxy is working by going to google.com. If it does, try to check the veoh video if you are now able to play it.

Remember, not all proxy IP’s are working. So if the IP and port aren’t working, choose another set of IP and port. ^_^

You can also use this in some other things like going to sites that you are country or IP is blocked.

IF Video is Dead
Report it IMMEDIATELY. You can report again after an HOUR to avoid spam.

AND THE MORE REPORTS, THE HIGHER THE PRIORITY. THEY ARE ALWAYS FIXING DEAD VIDEOS. IT MIGHT TAKE 1-5 DAYS TO FIX IT. ^_^
