Abacast upgrade

[San_Diego_Matt]

so I downloaded the VLC player, installed it and can't get it to work either...grrr!

Doesn't VLC still need the stream from the Abacast widget?

Tell me you guys aren't streaming from some magic URL.

/CDN nightmares.

I'm not sure how it works Code, but I don't have either Abacast or Winamp installed on my PC, just Firefox and VLC.

When I click on the listen button, Firefox asks me how I want to open thebrewingnetwork-sc-56.pls. VLC is the default program for that file type and just starts playing the stream. It's pretty cool, and works great.

Hmmm, funny. All of a sudden VLC is demanding a password, which I don't know, to play the stream, which I now can't.

So Code, is this just some coincidence, or am I finally gonna have to download Abacast and Winamp?

Damn, I'm keep telling myself to shut the fuck up, but I will never learn...

I deleted Abacast and Winamp and now only have VLC installed and when I click on the "Broadband" button I still get the top 1/3 of my screen yelling at me to upgrade my abacast and cannot get the stream to play.

Luckily for me I've listened to the stream for more hours than I can count and they, for the most part, just keep repeating the same shows so I've heard them all a dozen times. I also figure that "other show" is dead and I only work one friday a month so if it does come back, there's a good chance I'll be at home anyways.

At this point, I've just given up. I'm sure it's our IT guys that are causing the problems and I don't feel like calling them and saying "hey, I can't listen to my beer podcasts anymore, can you help me out?"

Total coincidence, brewer's oath.

OK, can't argue with Brewer's Oath.

I think the stream is down, the iPhone app is down as well.

[TheDarkSide]

Yup...down on the Droid as well.
