About

JustinTV is a Online Streaming Video site. With the site getting more popular more live sports are being streamed on there. JustinTV is also great for people who want to stream but can't stream on Sopcast, TVAnts....

Problems ?

Can't watch streams on JustinTV ?

Make sure you have installed Flash Player Installed on your PC.

I suggest to anyone who is considering buying a Justin acccount (due to the subscriber limitation in their country) to simply use a proxy. I now use a Canadian proxy because it is illlegal for Justin to restrict the number of subscribers in Canada, and this now works fine for me.

If you have any other problems with JustinTV please feel free to post below.... :smile_old:

I can't get justin.tv to work with any live game. I press the link but all I get is "Not broadcasting". I can watch old games by the same user though. Tried justin.tv with both firefox and IE at least 20 times with different streams. I have the latest flashplayer.

What can I do to get it to work?

[Ben2710]

Try installing Flash player again.

[Zebra11]

Still doesn't work.

[uggla]

if your using mozilla or ie try the other browser you be suprised how better it can work with the other one

[Ben2710]

Good one uggla

@zebra11, you can always give these two threads a read :

It's also quite easy to "find" the direct url so you can watch it in your own FLV Player.

Go to:

http://live.justin.tv/find/live_user_[username].csv

In [username] you fill the username of the guy who broadcasts.

For example:

http://live.justin.tv/find/live_user_polsports.csv

If the stream is online that link will give you something like this:

location,type,name,node_name
38.99.50.73:1940,location,live_user_polsports,batm an-8_node_r1940

So the direct link will be:

rtmp://38.99.50.73:1940/live_user_polsports

Sometimes useful if Justin.tv - Live Streaming Video is very slow again....

Thanks Nice bit of Info

You dont really need it to be honest

To make the guide better add some screenshots

I did need it But it doesn't work with protected streams strange enough...
It can also be useful if you always get the "not broadcasting" error.

And you're able to do the same thing with Mogulus streams, but for Mogulus the links always stay the same, like:

rtmp://75.101.154.223/mogulus/[channel]/[identifier]

But you first need to know the [identifier], what's impossible to know without contacting the streamer. But it's often just "stream".

For Mogulus it can be useful because the link néver changes. And sometimes, when the stream at Mogulus.com got down, that link still works. Can be useful at busy streams, or streams with stupid banners. Because you won't see banners/stickers with the link above. But that's offtopic.

@paga: might be a dumb question, but any good free decent FLV players?

[Zebra11]

I tried Paganitzus thing but my browser is just trying to download a csv file. So either I did something wrong or that didn't work.

Been in contact with justin.tv but they couldn't tell me anything useful. I get more help here!

Also I find ugglas post just cryptic.

Would like to know more about Paganitzus workaround... yes screenshots!

VLC supports FLV.

It supports FLV but not rtmp which is the flash streaming protocol.

can someone make a guide how to add a justin stream to the player i dont consider myself thick but i aint a clue how to do it lol

[uggla]

Also I find ugglas post just cryptic.

presuming your first language is english its what it says advised it and told it worked

[Zebra11]

So I tried justin.tv on a lousy Celeron laptop with the same Internet connection my stationary computer uses and it worked like a charm.

I was looking around some more on the Internet for a resolution but all I found was more people with the exact same problem and no solution.

So it's up to you guys. Something is causing this problem and I can't figure out what.

@Uggla: Sorry my first language is not english. I think the problem for me to understand you is that you write like you speak and don't use any full stops or commas.

[uggla]

got yeah mate only forum talk i never use any full stops/question marks or commas
