I know the Mapogos are always being discussed here....so a little something to have fun with.....

maxx- that one will be a classic... loved it!  glad you have way to much time on your hands to keep us all entertained! 

Pam, I watched Aquila's Karula vid several times and Karula's swagger looks the same to me.  So I don't think she is injured.

It looked odd at first when she was approaching them from behind the landie,  but I think it was that angle of the camera. 

Watching her from behind it looked normal to me. 

Sure don't want to see our Super Star hurt, especially with 2 more mouths to feed! LOL!

Yeah...it is pretty sad that I have that ammount of time, when you think about it....LOL

I was on vacation from the forum, so I had extra....

great job, maxx!

Fantasic job maxx !!

Maxx, that "rocks"!!! hehe.

Love it!

Omg, Maxx you rock.

Well, I'm still trying to figure out why I get so much buffering and freezing on the drives. Just did adaware and just had a few minor tracking cookies. Did spybot just recently and that was ok too.

I uninstalled/reinstalled WMP with no change. 

Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I can do and look for? 

Ok...how come there's no audio for me and yes...everything's turned up.  Think I need to reboot?

Another thing I noticed tonite, Maxx....I had your player clicking away and every now and then it would go to 'waiting'.  After I stop/start, I get a pop-up or slide out from Symantec, my virus protection, saying "A recent attemp to attack your computer has been blocked."   It happened several times and I feel it is somehow associated with your viewer and the 'waiting' thing.  Any ideas what may be causing this?

Debby, I know you've been attempting to get better reception, but I don't think there's much you can do.  We all seem to experience this at one time or another...could be your ISP among other things...of which I know nothing about.  LOL 

LOL...that makes 2 of us!! It doesn't seem to ever be a decent connection and so often after maybe a few minutes, it just drops. I guess it could be the ISP. Just wish I knew more to be able to figure it out. 

Have no idea except that my viewer is not the cause but more likely the effect. Whatever is causing your AV to trigger is also causing the player problem. That would be my guess. There are no scripts running on my viewer page that would even be mistaken by an AV program as malicious.

I have been monitoring my viewer page...and have also seen the "waiting". Stop/start does not trigger my AVG....

The waiting message almost always indicates a problem in the pipeline. Ctrl-refresh is the best way to try and force your connection to take a bypass route...if one exists. If the problem is close to either Djuma or your ISP gateway....you may not get around a roadblock.

Evening all. I just cleaned and defragged.

Maxx, I love your viewer. It gets me connected 75% of the time !

Okay, thanks, Maxx...I just rebooted and was able to hear your YouTube concert...funny.  Loved the Mapogos in their 'mafia' hats.   I've also got your player running again and will keep an eye on it...but, I think the re-boot helped correct the problems.

Oh, oh...just happened again.  I've got "waiting" and a note that "an attempt was made to attack my computer, etc.".

On maxx's viewer Sherran?  I have the sorry screen here.

Maxx, can't say enough about how much I appreciate your viewer! 'Nuff said!

Except - at the very end of your Mapogo concert, is that the "V for Vendetta" character?? Care to share?? 

Sherran...maybe you should run a quick ad-aware thingey.

Yes, on Maxx's, Lana.  I'm attempting to connect...not there yet and it happened once again.  I did ctrl-refresh and it's attempting to connect again...got me off "waiting", at least.  *shrugging shoulders here*

Gosh, Sherran...That doesn't sound good...I hope you get that ironed out...What about connecting via WMP or the entertainmentafrica link? Does that appear normal?

Logging off till dump time...good luck all

I've had this before, WC...just realized tonite the 'attempt to attack' and 'waiting' on Maxx's viewer came at the same time.  I've got Lyn's player going, also, and that seems to be 'connecting' just fine.

debby hi, and good evening to all. debby i am haveing little or no trouble with wmp or maxx viewer. i have verizon. being that you are right over the hill from me.

It continues to happen...I just clicked on 'details' and the Risk which is high is: Http ASF StreamProperty BO  If anyone knows what that means....please give me a clue.  LOL

Sherran...I googled it....here is Norton's def

Regarding the "waiting".....

I have two computers going....running on seperate IP adresses. One has no problem with "connecting" on the viewer page, the other does hang on waiting. This tells me that there is a problem in the pipeline, since both IP addies take different routes once I leave my gateway.

As for the AV trigger....that appears to be a local problem. I have never had a report of an AV trigger until now. Now if there is a server in the pipeline that is sending malformed packets...that might trigger an over-sensitive AV program and surely would choke the player....so that is possible. However...I suggest a very good AV and Spyware scan.

I'm on the laptop so will be attempting to connect via wireless. It's seldom a success, but I'm ensconced on the sofa snuggled with 4 dogs and a warm blankie and a glass of single malt.

Life is good, connection or not, but better with connection, lol! 

WC......LOL

Yes...that is "V". I identify with that character and use the image as my avatar on other forums. It's sort of a signature at the end of the video.
