Have you updated to the latest Flash version as well as the latest MoveNetwork version?

The only PC I cannot get to work is the one with Windows 7 RC on it.

I have a RTM copy of win7 ( Ultimate version, 64bit with only 4 Gb RAm ) and ie8 have NO problems streaming conference! Works better then anything I've used in the past.:D

Woohoo! This is the *first* time that general conference has properly streamed throughout an entire session. I've used my computer to access it for about a decade now. No change in my ISP, type of connection, computer, or software since before the April 2008 session. I'm just glad that it finally worked!

It would be nice if both of my computers were in sync, though. Walking from one room to another is weird because the timing of the audio differs. (Not complaining, just commenting.)

I am running the new Snow Leopard operating system with Safari. When I click on the live stream on lds.org I get a message saying I need Quicktime player. I have Quicktime player. any ideas?

i had the same problem. go to this link and download the .dmg file and install manually. should do the trick. http://www.movenetworks.com/install-move-player

Guess my computer is in worse shape then yours. I do not see the instructions mentioned on this site or anything in the framed box.

Okay, I guess yesterday was a fluke for me. Today, the English site just said "loading", but nothing happened.

That said, it occurred to me that most ASL productions do not turn off the sound. We're now able to watch it through that link. Meanwhile, my college student who is studying to become an ASL interpreter can get some extra practice & pick up some new vocabulary. Not all bad, eh?

Have you tried using http://www.byu.tv

My experience is similar to yours. The Saturday sessions were fine with only occasional issues such as hesitations in the video and audio and some pixilation (which usually occurred just before or after the video hesitations). Today there were significant problems. At first I received the pre-conference stream fine. But after conference began the troubles began. The video frequently was halting and the audio was frequently out of sync with the video. The entire stream stopped for prolonged periods of time (between 30 seconds to 8 minutes). I did not even get the first 18 minutes of the Sunday morning session. The longest period of streaming without any problems was about 22 minutes.

When I lost the stream in the morning session I tried the Windows Media player instead of the Move player. After 11 seconds I got a server error for that.

All-in-all the experience was quite disappointing.

Thanks, Russell, for fixing the link this afternoon. I am not sure how I managed to mangle it, because it looked ok to me, but I apologize, especially since conference was over before it got fixed.

Saturday worked well for me, but Sunday also worked well except that it fed at a slower speed and that was evident in the video. It was also obvious at the beginning of each session that the servers bogged down.

I started the byu.tv feed about 20 minutes before each session started, except for Sunday morning, when it was only about 10 minutes prior. And I had the most problems with that session.

I wonder if this has any effect on the streaming, or if Sunday was just the busiest.

In the past, when I have joined the Young Women and Relief Society general meeting feeds near the starting time of the broadcast, I have had difficulty joining, and the feeds did not work well. When I have joined about 15 minutes before the program begins, I have not had any of the same problems.

I wonder if joining earlier gives some kind of priority on the server and results in better streaming. It seems to work that way for me.

My barely ediucated guess is that this is load-related and that the Sunday sessions are the busiest.

The Sunday AM session started fine for me but then started pausing during the opening hymn. I assume this was due to increased net traffic overall of people trying to connect to the stream. I finally gave up and switched to the audio only feed from Mormon Channel.

I likes the new link they provided for General conference: http://gc.lds.org because it is simple and easy to remember. It worked fine for me except for the Sunday AM session.

It is a bit easier to remember. It's the same link as generalconference.lds.org that has worked for quite some time.
