njsykora posted:TLC 2013 and Main Event episodes work fine for me now, it seems the most popular stuff (Manias, recent shows etc) is working fine for most people. Seems like they're prioritising stuff people are all trying to watch first then those of us who want to watch lesser stuff (really want to watch Uncensored 96) get to eat poo poo basically. yeah, pretty sure that's what they're doing. I was trying to watch ECW Hardcore Heaven '97 but it kept making GBS threads itself. at the same time, Wrestlemania 17 (which I would imagine is one of the most in-demand things on the Network at this point) works completely flawlessly.

Even IE8 worked (I need IE8 for ripping streming stuff until I find something better than tubedigger). I have the latest version of Chrome and running in private browsing (no extensions/no current cookies/no current cache), still nothing loads. IE runs fine.

I had been trying to watch TLC 2012 since yesterday afternoon and couldn't get past 10 seconds into the promo. I'm now watching HIAC 2013 and have had 0 issues (watching matches, scrolling through the PPV, etc...). To be fair, HIAC was an option on the home page... don't know if that matters or not. edit - all this was on PS3

I was watching Wrestlemania 17 and realized that half of the card on it is dead and that it was 13 years ago and got super depressed. Welp.

UltimoDragonQuest posted:The Goldberg theme is edited on WCW shows. I was asking about Goldberg's earlier. What have they replaced it with? The WWE theme? That's pretty sad. That theme is important to Goldberg's aura. Without it, you're not getting the real authentic experience of Goldberg in 98. Most of the time his entrances were longer and just as important as his matches. I like entrances a lot. I really can't tolerate altered themes. Usually wrestlers will walk, move, or dance to the rhythm of the music. When the music is changed, the entrances feel weird.

I watched all of the 1996 Bash at the Beach last night on my computer and part of whatever old-rear end Raw from NYC was on streaming just now on my PS3. Both working overseas via unblock-us (which isn't surprising since that works for Netflix and Hulu). Life's good in the odd time zone.

General consensus seems to be that the stuff on the home page is the most popular, and therefore guaranteed stuff that works. I just went to watch TLC 2009 because gently caress yeah that Christian vs Shelton ladder match and it hit buffering hell about 4 minutes in. Eat My Fuc posted:My streaming issues for on demand stuff are still there, only slightly better. is everyone else fixed or should i contact wwe? This is the story for everyone. Things are very slowly improving, but very little beyond the super popular stuff is actually working yet. Also according to the official Network Twitter people who signed up today are having login issues. Vince must be having a loving meltdown.

I'd think it's still somewhat of a problem. If WWE's audience is as technologically incompetent as WWE treats them, then they're not going to know this is expected and might think it's representative of the service

They gave themselves the absolute most time possible in their schedule to launch it before Wrestlemania and still "launch" with Wrestlemania. Launches are always rocky and they knew it. This hasn't been a total disaster and that's actually impressive.

I hope they get the VOD working correctly by midnight tonight. I'll be damned if I'm going to watch Royal Rumble 2013 twice in a row on the livestream (9am tonight, 12am tomorrow).

elf help book posted:Have you seen any MMO launch? Have you heard of healthcare.gov? Not really the same thing, those are overcapacity/login problems. The problem here isn't logging in (unless you have a 360), it's getting anything other than the live stream or very recent stuff (that none of us want to watch) to work. Buffering problems with a single program isn't a capacity problem when other streams are working perfectly. Since it's apparently all working fine in browsers I have to assume it's a problem specifically with the app software, which is something that should've been found before launch. And it is a pretty big problem, because if you can't make it work when people are there for free how the hell are you going to convince them to pay for it? njsykora fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Feb 26, 2014 |

So um there are DEFINATELY some pay per views missing from my list on the WWE Network site, oddly enough i tried the first 8 on the list and they all locked up at some point during the show on the PS4 meanwhile some of the shows not listed are working perfectly fine. http://imgur.com/prVFA2c Summerslam 94 is also on the list that i can see Brokenogre fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Feb 26, 2014 |

Like you said they aren't going to launch an app without it working with everything on their end. There is no way you can ever get an exact stress test on something like this where you have hundreds of thousands of people hitting different things on different servers, in ways that are impossible to test. That's the main problem. You can beta and stress test just about anything. But you will never know something is wrong until it's live and you have people from around the world beating on your server and doing things that the testers couldn't think of doing. It's also the pain of being an early adopter. Netflix was rough when it first launched it's on demand service, and it didn't have nearly the amount of on demand stuff(or traffic) that the Network has.

I also liked Countdown for the talking heads stuff, though they recapped things a few too many times for my liking, and YES was clearly hastily edited into the list recently. How long have they had these shows sitting on the shelf? 18 months?

Vod seems sketchy to me today, but 100% improvement than the past 2 days. managing to do about 6 minutes a time of Wrestlemania 1 on my Roku before its connection times out, but at least its reconnecting immediately. at this rate it should be perfect by the end of the week.

They aren't missing, you need to sort by the year. They're all there, just not when you pull up the shows page, you need to sort by year or search for what you're looking for via the title box to the right of the big survivor series box at the top there.

However, everything is still there, you just have to sort via year or by title.

It's so surreal to be able to see Kurt Angle face Chris Benoit at Judgement Day 2001, all with the WWF logo and all in the bottom corner. No blurs whatsoever. Now, I'm a huge fan and I know the WWE and its history inside and out, but I've only been watching since early 2004. First bit of wrestling I've ever sat down to watch carefully was Wrestlemania 20, and I started watching religiously right after that. I've hardly had the chance to see ANY attitude era matches at all, besides Wrestlemania 17 in full. Do you guys have any PPV recommendations or match recommendations from before 2004 that are worth checking out? I mean, I've seen lots of the classic matches on DVD's and stuff, but I'm sure there's some hidden gems that people don't talk about as often that are definitely worth watching.

I think I got dipped on my free week. I clicked one week free trial and filled in all the information but nothing about a free week showed up after It started asking for a billing address. I did get a purchase confirmation email also. Is this normal? I had to do everything on a iphone if that makes a difference.
