Hey i wasn't TOO sure where on the forums to put this. And sorry i do realize this isn't technical forums but i was wondering if anyone else had problems viewing videos from Zero Punctuation and Unforgotten realms.
Every time i watch them they stop about a quarter of the way through the video, i can manage to get ZP working if i refresh enough but Unforgotten realms never seems to budge.
Can someone give me a reason and a possible solution to this? D:

You need to give us more info if you want help. What is your operating system, do you use IE or Firefox? Are you behind a firewall/router? Do you have the latest version of Javascript/flash?

There are a lot of problems with Firefox 3 and flash players. My FF crashed the whole time 'till I disabled the DownloadHelper thing. If you're not using any plug-ins, it might be that in case you're using vista, Adobe Flash Player is borked. Easy solution: uninstall any flash players you might have installed now, and install the newest Adobe Flash Player 10 BETA (!) instead. Apparantly that would work (I have xp, though)

Hi CrazyBerk. Sorry to hear you're having troubles.

A lot of times when folks have trouble with the video it's a temporary thing, or it's caused by ad-block or flash-block browser extensions. Disabling those, or white listing our site is the first thing to try.

If that doesn't do it, the HELP [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/help] button at the bottom right of the player will take you to a page full of lots of helpful bits of information that might get you going again, as well as a forum to use for contacting us if none of it helps.

However, the number one cause of trouble with trying to view our videos is the fact that your system administrators don't want you doing it and are actively jamming you. If that's the case, there's not much we can do ;)

For people in that situation, I usually recommend paying for your own internet service, or challenging your sysadmin to a duel.

Since I'll be in LA all next week for E3, PMing me probably won't get you far, but the contact link on the Video Help page will get you to someone who can help you out in my absence. Good luck!
