You sir are a saint and a half. I appreciate you.

[Yard Dog]

Unfortunately I can't get all that fancy VLC stuff to work. Any other suggestions?

[jmarks]

Install the latest version of VLC. Or try the MPC-HC alternative (for computers only). It will work for any device that has at least Windows XP OS. The link Tobias gave you has all the info. And VLC isn't fancy, it's the best media player there is.


For tonight's game links look for the game thread.

I appreciate all that you do!

I don't see an official thread for tonight's game, so I guess this is as good a place as any. Maybe a mod can copy it over or I'll be back in a hour to try again myself. If the keys to my other toolbox are working again, I should have a set of links for FSMW at gametime as well.

VideoLan has upgraded VLC to Version 2.1.5. Previous versions should still work, but it's usually good to upgrade this app.
*NOTE: When installing, select > delete preferences and cache.

You will need VLC media player to view the streams on PC/MAC/iOS/other OS.
Click Here for windows x64bit systems. Previous versions.
ALT player for PCs >> >> >> >> >> MPC-HC

You will also need to make an adjustment to VLC. ------ VERY IMPORTANT!!
1st, Open VLC > Go to Tools > Preferences
Select the radio button "Show Settings" -- "All" (near the bottom)
Select input/codecs.
Scroll down to advanced, and change the value for Network Caching to 5000 (ms).
This helps to prevent dropped frames and provides a more stable stream.

It is much better to view streams through the VLC stand alone program, than to view it through a browser/VLC association.
The best way is to.... copy the .m3u8 file given... > open VLC... > click in middle of screen....
> press (keyboard) ctrl+v (to paste link) into VLC... > press play.

You can also just copy the link, open VLC, go to Media (or File) > Open Network Stream > paste the link > Enter or OK

And those links I've given are working right now, so you've got plenty of time to experiment and select the best bitrate.

Is there any advice you would give on how to get what is streaming on the VLC to play on my TV through a chrome cast?

This reads like overseas tech support chat from somebody named "Michael S."

My advice would be to get rid of Chrome in every form. It is absolutely the worst possible choice for a browser and it's components. The laundry list of reasons why is too long to post, but trust me, your every movement and web choices are being logged and sent to their marketing department to feed you ads they deem the most profitable for them.

Best browser for the average user is firefox. And not necessarily the latest version. If you reply with your PC specifics, e.g. The pc I'm on now is a pentium 4, 3Ghz, Win XP, 2GB RAM and I'm using Firefox 12. The latest version is Firefox 33. I have a laptop, dual core, 2.4Ghz/core, 4GB Ram, Win 7.1, Firefox 28. I'm not sold on Win 8, yet. I believe it's only best for the latest high end CPUs and I'm not there yet.

Many computers and laptops have a HDMI video out, which can be connected to most flat screens, or a S-Video out which many regular tube TVs have as an input. S-Video is video only, so you'll need to have an audio out to some speakers.

With HDMI video out, you'll need to go to your sound properties (right click the speaker icon in systray) and select the HDMI as your audio component.

I'll check back to see if you've replied.

it is awesome that you are both a matrix level super hacker and a luddite.

like really awesome.

[Spracne]

Definitely go the HDMI cable approach if you can.

With Chromecast, you can (a) cast media using a supported application such as Netflix or Youtube, (b) cast a chrome tab or (c) cast your whole screen.  In this case, (c) would be your only option, and (c) quite frankly sucks in practice. 

Do you have an HDMI port on your pc?

It's actually easier most times to hack with the "old" stuff. I even have a PIII with Win 2000 server as an OS, I use if needed.

Unfortunately it is a seven year old mac, so no hdmi port

My computer doesn't have an HDMI port because it is a tad ancient. I am having no trouble viewing the channel on my computer, I just don't know of any other way to cast from my computer to the tv besides my chromecast. We do also own a roku if that would be of any benefit

These links are showing FSN Atlantic right now. Is that right?

it looks like this game won't be on fox sports go

Yes. Every schedule I can find has the game on FCSA. It working for me perfectly.

[jmarks]

No, my links will work. The FCSes are not on Foxsportsgo. If you have a video subscription that includes FSMW, then you will be able to get it on Foxsportsgo I think. I'm in Fla and Sunsports and FS Florida live games are usually available on Foxsportsgo.

In other news, my keys to the toolbox are going to take a bit more work, so I won't have the FSMW links tonight.

Without an hdmi port on my computer is there anyway to use a chromecast or roku to watch the game? (sorry if that is an incredibly dumb question)

[jmarks]

Have you tried option c?

With Chromecast, you can (a) cast media using a supported application such as Netflix or Youtube, (b) cast a chrome tab or (c) cast your whole screen.  In this case, (c) would be your only option, and (c) quite frankly sucks in practice.
