G+_George Kozi Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Leo Laporte Lisa Laporte Leo, there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with the recorded TWiT shows. This is what happens when I try to watch a show from the TWIT website. This is a very serious problem. It only happens on the TWit Website, which leads me to think that it has to do with the way the shows are edited. I apologize for the quality, but I had to hand hold and point my crappy camera at the monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeffrey Powers Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 No problems here. Windows useing Chrome and IE. Not sure what you are running George Kozi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Up to date Windows 8.1 and Chrome. It's not about my machine. It only happens on the TWiT website. If it was my machine, it would happen elsewhere too. It doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jeffrey Powers Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 George Kozi It could be something as simple as a bad Codec that needs to be re-installed.I would suggest trying the page in another browser to see if you can repeat the problem. Another suggestion would be uninstalling and re-installing chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 It's okay in firefox. Isn't Google supposed to keep Chrome up to date and functional? ... Hmm... if this is a Chrome problem, the shine is off of Google for me. I may have to trash Chrome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ryan Kelly Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Lol, you'd trash chrome over one issue with one site? That's hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeffrey Powers Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Most likely its a codec issue. If re-installing chrome doesn't make a change, I would create a temporary login profile to Windows, then log in and open Chrome without signing in. See if the problem follows.

G+_George Kozi Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 TWiT is 90% of what I watch, so it ain't funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Mink Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 George Kozi? I'm running 8.1 as well and I've noticed no problems with the few TWiT shows I've watch from the website (not my preferred method) on either Firefox or Chrome. Have you noticed any specific shows doing it more than others? Does it happen every time? Maybe I was just lucky with the few I did watch on the website? Just trying to get some more info!

G+_George Kozi Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I usually watch live, but when I miss a show I go to the recording. That's the funny thing, it doesn't happen in every show... that's what made me think that it is something with the editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Darryl Gibbs Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I get a similar issue in Chrome when I stream it, after about 15min the screen just goes black, then I have to refresh. Happens on every show, on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Donald E. “Don” Riley Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I have issues with the TWiT feeds as well. sometimes switching streaming feeds helps. Bitgravity seems to work best for me. Chromecast also works better using the TWiT Cast app. I am on a Chromebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Mink Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Ryan Kelly if the browser isn't doing what I'd want it to do, I'd absolutely dump it in a heartbeat, be it Chrome, Firefox, Moasic, IE, whatever... the browser should be able to do what you need it to. George Kozi you may want to try downloading the files and playing in VLC (or other local video player) That would at least exonerate either Chrome or TWiT editors.

G+_Anibal Perez Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Whatever player they use is glitchy as heck, I just switched to their YouTube channels instead, not worth the effort, most custom players are junk anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_James Crutchley Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Website works good for me. Never had any issues. And i do not even have a high end Rig. Mine is mid range AMD rig with Phenom II 945 with 8 GB DDR3 RAM and a AMD 290 video card. But video also works on my laptop no problem so maybe your PC just needs to get a tune up lol.

G+_David House Sr. Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 George Kozi - I too had this issue. I think it was a version of Chrome I was using with Windows 10 preview. I could load it in Firefox, same episode same link and it would be fine. I wasn't sure if was it was Win10 Preview or Chrome??? Anyway, I DL'd Chrome Canary and it was fine. Now on Chrome 41.0.2272.76 the 'green screen' issue has disappeared. I only noticed on Twit for a period of time. The problem is gone now, so my only recommendation would be try different browsers.

G+_Charles Griffin Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I thought for a moment you might be reporting the issue I was having with the site on one of my PC's recently. I was getting shaking video until I disabled hardware acceleration in Flash Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Christopher Woods Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It looks like a Chrome issue. The SublimeVideo player is just a bit of code which invokes an HTML5 player (which Chrome handles without Flash or anything else like that). The video is the regular H.264 which most graphics cards can decode in hardware. The green screen points to an overlay issue, which could be graphics drivers (upgraded recently?) or a possible issue with Chrome. Try loading the page in a Chrome Incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+N) and see if it still does it. If not, it could be another Extension causing problems. If it still does it, try upgrading graphics card drivers if you've not done so for a long time. If you HAVE upgraded recently, downgrade! Also try some other HTML5 videos, including YouTube (you may not have the HTML5 player as default, check at https://www.youtube.com/html5 ) Good luck...

G+_Mark Rychel Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I disabled the chrome plugin for flash and that fixed the problem for archived shows. I enable the plugin for live feeds to make the live feeds work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Greenlee (Banjoman Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Yes, It's a Chrome issue. It's something to do with the Flash and HTML5 plugins. Works fine in IE for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
