Buffistas

Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

I clicked on the Listen Live and didn't hit any play buttons that showed up and still I don't get anything.

On NHL I can listen to the This Week in NHL thing, it's through WMP.

This is the website: [link] for Tampa bay. I go down and click the link and the player pops up but doesn't play. What's so frustrating because with my old computer I could get it to play but not well.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hmmm. I works for me. The popup has the control panel for WMP, and it just starts up.

What version of WMP do you have installed? I know the MLB audio requires WMP 7.0 or better to work. (Although you'd probably get a message if that was it.

I've checked out the FAQ and I've done everything it suggests and I'm still having problems.

Where did you find the FAQ? The only one I can find is the one about attending the games in person.

I have the latest version. It still won't play.

Oh! I got the FAQ from the radio station's website when I tried to get the game there -- [link]

I can't get anything to work there.

I'm not going to worry about this, I've gone this long without listening to the radio online, I can awhile longer.

The radio station feed is working for me, too. I looked at the FAQ, and if you've tried everything there, I'm at a loss.

Is the player that shows up in the popup WMP? If it's something else (like RealPlayer) then that might be the reason. If it is WMP, try going to the Tools/Options menu, and click on the Network tab. Make sure all the streaming protocols are checked.

Now that I'm paying attention, I don't think the player in pop up is WMP. The pop up window has a turner which I'm going to describe badly --on the left there's a gray circle and on the right is a smaller one and in between there are 3 buttons over the two volume buttons.

So, we need to somehow get WMP to be the default stream player, something I don't know how to do off hand.

Anyone? Bueller?

I think I might have figured it out! I went into WMP and checked "all file types" which wasn't selected before and when I tried it again this time the player in the pop up looks like WMP.

Except it's still "connecting to media", so maybe this won't work.
