I went on the website last night and couldn't find any link to the L/F...what am I doing wrong?"
I was in same boat one moment the feed was there
the next moment it all went blank and just that ocado background. I swore for about 10 mins then realised the website was struggling really bad
Just a thought guy's.
Maybe we should keep the 'playing the stream through VLC' thing hush hush and let this thread die.
C5 are obviously wanting people to visit their website to make giving us the live feed worthwhile for them.If they don't get enough hits on their site because everyone is watching it through VLC they might stop providing it :eek:

I have no doubt at all he will pull the feed the guy has already said this is the last throw of the streaming Dice.
Its going to be annoying but I hope that website crashes over the demand C5 not getting the message the feed will work if they give it a decent chance.

i just hope that channel 5 advertise the news that late night streaming is available via the website
ie mention it at the end of highlights shows and during the spin off show

Yes indeed they must do this because last time they failed there was no advertising of the feed for the first week, people were asking on here and twitter and saying they didn`t even know what time it was on or what channel, some didn`t even know it was on at all.
I agree with you and your other post, lets hope this time that the feed will work and gain enough people watching it overnight to make them consider increasing it or bringing back the 24/7 live streaming next year or sooner.
The feed belongs online always as in my opinion, it started out that way back during BB1 and should of remained that way until the present day.

i think channel 5 have made a few mistakes along the way
but with the contract up for renewal or rejection next year
now is the time to get the show back on track or at least moving in the right direction

They need to make sure this stream is working tonight
and that the website/Twitter/BOTS tells people about it.
with luck the message to ask former housemates to retweet the information will also be done from fans who follow them.

i forgot about their twitter account [easily done]
i'm sure they could manage a tweet or two regarding the streaming
I put this into VLC player Media open network stream and its giving me the BB eye logo.
with luck though the website will be up and running tonight. We need to make sure those people know the website is under heavy usage because I know they are ready to pull the plug for good on the feed.
I hope as Ben frow appears to be a fan himself if he sees demand is high he will realise 24hrs online is a good move.

That's a good idea.
I just wanted to say thank you for the massive amount of work you have put in to getting lf reinstated. IT is very much appreciated, regardless of what CH 5 do now.
It doesn't really matter if you watch it on the website or via VLC player as you will still be connected to the server and they will know how many are connected to it.
So even if you can't watch it for some reason, try and make sure that you are connected to it and run it in the background. That way you will count.
Let's hope it can't keep up with demand making them admit that more people than they expected are logging on. They can hardly put out a "Sorry, the server can't cope" message and then follow it with a "We are pulling it as people aren't using it" message.

No problem.
with luck if this works the feed will find itself back home online
I like the way that once you put the link in VLC player and don't put another link in there, it remembers it for when you start in up again. You don't have to keep pasting the link in there.

We are all hoping this eye will change to stock footage and birdsong aren't we?!
I am on holiday, the sun is out, cricket is on tv and I am watching an eye on my laptop when I should be gardening!
I need help

yes that's going to be interesting to see how they do that
if they want it to work then they will make the effort
but given their track record it's hard to say what they'll do

the good old days of BB10.. remember they would stick the feed on 10 mins before the afternoon slot???
