Thank you.
I'm not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.

Please see new guidance thread for troubleshooting any Flash Player issues. Flash Trouble Shooting / Helpful Tips Thread Hopefully these issues will iron out over the next few days. If however after reading through the thread are still having issues please post back with as much information as possible such as:- Operating System System Specification Browsers used Your Location Exact problem with loading/playing ect Anything you have tried to resolve the matter. We will try and compile all this data and see if there is any corrolation. For myself I have had no issues and here is my data on my lowest home PC spec:~_ Windows 7 I3 processor with intergrated 512meg graphics card Internet Explorer and Firefox South of England My bandwidth is about 8Mbp/s download and 2Mbp/s Upload I havn't personally had any issues with loading or buffering and think the new Flash based videos are of even better quality which is important to me as I usually hook this computer up to a 42" tv most of the time when watching.

Same here i also have no problem my spec are old Operating System: Windows XP Professional System Specification: Pentium 4 with 1248 MB memory Browers: Firefox 3.5.16 and Goggle chrome Version 11( both stream video good) My Bandwidth : my bandwidth is about 2.5 Mb download, 0.3mb upload Your Location: South East of London I haven't personally had any issues with loading or buffering however i would prefer the ability to load episode on same page rather than it opening a new tab for every episode.

I'm not liking the new Flash player at the moment. Before, I could pause a show and let it buffer for about ten minutes so that it wouldn't stop to load every few seconds. Now it seems that no matter how long I pause the video, it will not buffer therefore making it very hard to watch a show without wanting to throw something at my computer. Maybe I just have crappy internet, but does anyone have some tips?

I'm very disappointed with the "upgrade" to Flash. I was able to play videos no problem in RealPlayer. I also liked the feature of "downloading" videos before playing them on RealPlayer - this avoided the common problems with streaming. I don't think I'll continue on this site unless this is brought back.

I too dislike flash, not that I was a big fan of Real Player either. That said, you have to go with the flow. I like VIPTV, adn have not found another site that works as well. With the flash upgrade, I had to change a few things, like run VIPTV off a separate browser (dual screen monitor setup) so I can have the show playing and also still browse. I haven't had any trouble with the streaming yet (only 3 1/2 shows) watched with it.
I am not asking you to dye your hair red and call me Mulder, I would simple ask that you could consider the possibility...

Logging-in issues with Flash

I am also having some issues with "stream-not-found" appearing, but main issue at the moment, is that I have to re-login every time I try to watch a new episode or refresh the page. This never happened before, and didn't happen with Flash yesterday, but it seems to be a persistent problem this evening. Any ideas why? thanks

Streaming issues.

Really not impressed! Have all the right requirements and very high speed connection but it just cuts out every minute or so and buffers for the longest time. So sad, I've been using this site for well over 3 years and event though RP had its issues nothing as bad as this. Unusable almost

That's odd. I've not been logged out when refreshing the page, so I don't really know what to suggest. @ tug17uk I've had that happen too, and I was also watching GA season 3 yesterday. I found if I refreshed the page & started again, the epi would play. I only got the steam not found twice, and that fixed it for me. I then just pulled the bar to where I left off & let it buffer for a few minutes.

This may be a stupid question, but have you tried both servers? I'm in Canada & often find I have better results with the EU server. Just a suggestion, in case you haven't tried it yet.

trouble as well

Hi. I too have been a VIP user for years, almost 4 years at this point if memory serves. I am really dissapointed with this upgrade. I never ran into any problems with real player and i have been watching a couple of episodes over the course of the evening, but it's been brutal. It's really choppy and it's almost like watching stop animation. I have tried both the european and the us links on the episodes, and I made sure all of my specs were up to date. I even waited and let an entire episode load up before starting to watch it, but to no avail. Are you guys planning on fixing anything, or at least giving us the choice to either use FP or RP? If not, and as stated by many above, I will end up leaving the site; I'd rather wait and watch something well done, then not wait and watch it the way it's being presented by FP. I hope you can figure out a way to let us use RP still. I don't want to leave, but will if that's the only option available. Keeping my fingers crossed for good news from your team.

The Mentalist Season 3 - Episode 16, Titled Red Queen On both US server and EU server - both state "stream not found" when you click the play arrow to start the show. It does not play at all on either server - error message shows on both servers.

Flash day 2

Hi Again, Seems no one is addressing the loss of screen or "window" size yet. I hate not being able to decide viewing size like I could in Real Player, not that this is a primary issue of course since I still can't play anything as the picture just far too choppy to watch. Isn't there any way you could give us a CHOICE to use either Flash or Real Player....PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE
