RTE Player Not Working ?

zenno

Is anyone having a problem playing all recorded news and programmes in RTE player ?.

For the last week now using firefox or internet explorer, i can't for the life of me get rte players recorded content to work. rte players live news will work but that's all. A friend of mine has the same problem so are any of you having the same issue ?.

Sorry for the delay in response.. my isp is UPC as well in the swords area. Thanks for the info, i'll look for the cause of this problem now on the pc. But the strange thing about it is a friend of mine's isp is vodafone and he says that all the recorded stuff on RTE player won't buffer and is basically dead/similar to my problem.

I'll look into it, thanks again.

As posted in another thread if you have ad blocking plugins or software then rte player wont play!

I hadn't tried it for a while, but yes now I am having the same problem - on Ubuntu. Tried it on Firefox, Google Chromium and Epiphany Web browsers and the RTE player will not work on any of them - Epiphany tells me that the RTE player is still looking for the latest Flash version. HOWEVER the TV3 player works just fine!!

A few weeks ago, had this problem on a new Android (Nexus) and it was simply fixed by downloading the Adobe Flash file to the hard drive, and then downloading and installing Firefox beta from Play Store, and opening the RTE website from within the Firefox Beta web browser. It won't work within any other browser even though the flash file is installed on the hard drive - only in Firefox beta.

Must get a version of Firefox beta for Ubuntu, either that or wait for RTE to bring out their player in HTML5.....

Thanks for the update dude, it seems that the RTE webmaster forgot to code his/her sh*t properly...it's a week ffs RTE can you fix it or not.

Regarding posters above...flash player is not an issue as it is installed perfectly fine and has being tested from a different isp and still the same so it's on RTE webmasters side.

Did webmaster forget the proper encoding distribution setup ???

UPC connection test to rte player ***non existent*** Tested on vodaphone isp from a 1 mile distance ***buffering only*** obviously a webmaster issue. any chance this can be fixed ?.

If there is any one here that has access to RTE can you please fix the distribution error. thank you.

This test was done with antivirus software disabled as well so security and ad blocker is shutdown.

This problem is a direct problem on rte's side i'm almost positive after all these tests.

By turning off adfree android on my tablet rte player works fine just long annoying adds before hand! Also tested on my laptop and disabling adblock for the rte website allows me to play the video!

By the looks of it rte have done something to there player code to insure ad`s get played!

It makes sense dude. going to startup in safe mode with networking to see how this goes. RTE definitely done some change.

zenno

Right. i see the problem...

Just ran windows 7 in safemode with networking and dude, the adverts would not stop but i held on hard till the end of the brainwashing junk and whalla... the RTE player worked but that's strange as i even shut-down all antivirus security and it didn't play before. So Radio telefis eireann are trying to wind me up.

well the security RTE are using now is causing licensed payers to have difficulty in accessing their web content.

Hey... Any one reading this from RTE can i have a free holiday voucher ? because i'm worth it.

Weird, Ubuntu ships with a standard alternative version of flash to Adobe's Flash version - and it seems that while TV3 player works with this alternative version, RTE player will not.

I manually installed Adobe's version of Flash, rather than use the available alternative versions in the repository. While it didn't seem to work initially, after restarting the computer, the RTE player now plays fine on both Firefox and Google Chromium.
So yes, RTE player is more demanding than TV3's player.

RTE Player won't play for me on Firefox, but it will play on Chrome.
