VOD is free this season.

Hooray - but there are complications.


Editor's Note: Make no mistake, VoD is free starting right now. However, we ran into a glitch when removing the subscription-based authorization, which is preventing people from viewing the videos. We anticipate solving this issue within the next 24 hours, at which point everyone will have full access to VoD. Thanks for your patience, and enjoy all of the free videos!

Also, for SSB:M, most of the 2005 season isn't available, and a couple of Chicago 2006 vids are out as well.

 

[Schweppes]

That's incredible.

 

[trogita]

Too bad we're not gonna get to see any new matches. =(

But it's cool to release the archives to the public.

 

[SleepyK]

MLG will have some smash content; Alphazealot has confirmed that on the mlg forums. They just haven't announced it.

 

[F8AL]

I'm impressed but sadened also, cause my mac doesnt have WMP and it can't run the videos...

 

[dark_dragon8]

This was working for me a few hours ago, but randomly stopped. Anybody else having problems?

BTW - Firefox didn't work so I used IE and it worked back then, not now though as I said prior.

 

[SleepyK]

By the way, a few of the Chicago vids and most of the 2005 vids are down and they have been for quite some time.

 

[D1]

I'd expect someone like SleepyK to know this b4 everyone else >_>.

LOL jk *runs away*

 

[FalseFalco]

I have a Mac (that is able to watch wmv's XD) and it's giving me a guy with a british accent going "the url you are attempting to access is invalid, please contact..."

Maybe there was such a surge on their bandwidth that they limited access?

 

[ThatGuy]

Same problem as FalseFalco, I'm on a PC with WMP so I believe it's a universal problem?

 

[SleepyK]

I guess their servers are overloaded, as I'm getting the British dude too.

Check the hub >.>

 

[technomancer]

They posted something about a glitch with the subscriptions

But once it's up it is game on.

 

[Taco Head]

:heart: :heart: :heart:

 

[bluezaft]

I click the play button and it doesn't do anything, it just says "Ready" at the bottom the whole time. Anybody know what's wrong?

 

[nublet06]

wow im really happy i never payed for this stuff.

i just wish it would actually work a little now.

most of the stuff i can only watch if i "launch in wmp"....and even then i can only watch the first round if they are edited. but in some vids like....hugs vs dope where it is all one long video i can watch it all.

scroll down and read the editors note

so we get to wait a bit for the older smash stuff (well all of it really)

 

[Foxmeister]

does it work for anyone else? all the vids I tried to watch didn't work and some british dude is telling me to contact the provider or w/e anyone got any ideas?

 

[Nintendude]

I've been getting the British guy and I can't seem to get any help on the MLG forums. I guess we should just wait and see if they fix it.

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

"which is preventing people from viewing the videos. " Means "YOU" cant watch them. Do you get it now?

 

[mkmelee]

Awesome. Can't wait.

 

[Foxmeister]

"which is preventing people from viewing the videos. " Means "YOU" cant watch them. Do you get it now?

what? explain yourself.

 

[SleepyK]

what? explain yourself.

He quoted a previous post; read the whole thread before you ask questions.

 

[Foxmeister]

what? no, actually he didn't.

 

[Galt]

You can still watch the videos if you click the "Launch in WMP" button. It'll open the videos in an external program, and you can scroll through the matches as you would a CD or playlist.

Now if I could only find the Vegas Smash nationals...

 

[SleepyK]

Foxmeister. scroll up -_-;;

Galt, the Vegas vids aren't up. I do however have them cut from the rebroadcast on the smash hub and on my filefront account. if you'd like links, plz say so.

I was about to say that sounded pretty good, and request appropriately, but then I realized that, if you have them and have shared them on the hub, then others have them, and therefore there was a decent possibility of them being on YouTube. So I looked, and sure enough, you can find them here:

Thanks for the tip, at least.

 

[SleepyK]

aww, and I don't get any credit

 

[Nemi]

yeah, that youtube rules

and when this does work properly, this'll rock harder a giant isai-themed n64

 

[Sars_Pirate]

So . . . VoD works now and all, but can anyone watch the 2005 season vids?

 

[Zgetto]

So . . . VoD works now and all, but can anyone watch the 2005 season vids?

me neither, i think they removed those.

 

[Nemi]

it actually works now? cool

most of the older (ie. 2005) vids are avaliable like on youtube on the hub n all, what with them being before vod

 

[mog87]

2005 vids arent on youtube to my knowledge atleast and i dont think anyone ripped them either.

 

[Sars_Pirate]

It really blows too since there were ridiculously hyped up matches in the 2005 season that people kept talking about, and now they're inaccessible . . .
