On the PS3 browsing escapists [help]

[Firia]

Pardon, but I wasn't to sure where to put this thread.

Long story short, I'm browsing the net on my PS3. Don't ask why, just know there's a perfectly valid reason for it. I popped up the escapists site to watch some Unskippable and Zero Punctuation on my TV.

Zero Punctuation plays well. Yay. But Unskippable loads it's title screen, and then goes black when I push play. There's sound, and it's obviously playing, but it's just... black. It's not super important, but I would like it if I could watch me some Unskippable. Any idea what the problem could be? Maybe I need to enable some setting or some such?

Not sure really how to fix that on account that I don't own a PS3. Sorry.

Is it for all Unskippable videos or just one?

 

[PTSpyder]

most if not all of the unskippable does. Zero punctuation sometimes does this to me also. I've yet to find a fix for it, which is unfortunate because me, my G/F and our roommate would all watch them together on the tv via ps3. Now we all watch separately.

Something to do with the file format they seem to use for Unskippable. When I run them on the PC ZP loads in the window on the Escapist webpage and plays from there but Unskippable has to be downloaded and then the file run through VLC to get it to work. Yeah an update would more than likely resolve this issue but since it only seems to happen with Unskippable and nothing else and since I don't really watch Unskippable who cares?

I had a feeling. Alas.

Me!

All the Unskippable that I've attempted has this result. All the Zero Punctuation I've attempted has positive results.

I think he's right, the file format is different thus the PS3 doesn't recognize it. Might have to wait til the next update mate.

Me!

You care about me not being able to watch Unskippable in the native web browser window.... ahhh I feel special!
