To Man City web designers: FIX THE SITE VIDEOS!

[skybluekings]

Its common knowledge that City staff constantly check bluemoon so this thread is to them:

Too often advertised video on the site leads to a non video stream (just constant buffering/loading and no video).
Even today's new video "Boss on future tests" advertised on the front page leads to a broken video...just the loading symbol (circular arrow).

I think as professionals you too would agree that there needs to be a better job done, especially if rumors are true that the new site cost £2m!

Edit: actually as of 3:18 UK time, NO video is currently working on the site!

It works for me. I was having problems but I disabled adblock+ and all the videos work fine now.

thanks stony, I'll try that.

EDIT: nope, disabled adblock and it still doesn't work. Still, this is something that City web designers should be aware of. Why is it that video can be seen on other sites and not theirs? If its linked to a ad blocking issue then they should changes the video settings so that there is no conflict with ad blocking software.

Worked OK for me. A bit of buffering but nothing too bad.

all videos have worked for me, I just pause it for a minute or 2 at the start before watching. however the stream last night was jerky. overall, very happy!!

Just tried it; absolutely no problem for me (and never has been).

Maybe they've fixed it or else there's a problem with your software?

They all play fine mate. Think you just need a better computer or if ur at work they may have disabled video buffering on server settings.

Sorry..tried to work it out..go on then..what does PEBKAC mean ( I'm guessing it's a term computer boffins used as a code to say it's the person's fault or something like that!)

Yeah; they won't play for me this last couple of days. Just that circular arrow icon (buffering). No matter how long I wait , the videos won't start.
