I have seached this site, and there doesen't seem to be any one with the same problem as I, but still I hope you can help.

I have never had this problem before, and even if i set my Xbox on DMZ on the router with access to all, it dosen't help.

When I try to play a music video, it stops at "Getting MMS Url" for about 30 sec, and then it pops back to the list of artists.

I have no problems with the movietrailer quicktime scripts. So I have access to the internet. Please help me, I realy want to see music videos again,.

Same here... it worked a few times, though.

The problem is documented and being worked on. It is believed to be either a cookie problem or an issue with the player. It appears that Yahoo may have made a change that checks to verify that the player is the Windows Media Player.

Having the same issues. Glad to see that its being corrected. This is an amazing script.
I have noticed that you need to login with a Yahoo account on the Launch site to now watch videos, I'm wondering if this is part of the problem.

Same problem here. Good to know it's not just me.

bumpbump...

Should we email the author of the script? I tried lowering my bandwith setting to 300 and change my cache settings and still no luck. I seem to remember this happenning in v1.7 and they changed the script to accomodate the launch.com changes. Has anyone heard if there is a workaround for this or if a newer version is being worked on? This is a great script and a must for ALL XBMC supporters!

Thanks

This is the worst thing ever...heh. I loved the Launch Browser. This is becoming a health concern at the moment, I'm cold ...and I can't stop shaking

. If someone doesn't develop a fix I might not make it through the week (okay...month). Man...I watched music videos 10 times more then I even played games.

Isn't there a way that we can register on our computer and make some type of file in the Launch directory with our login information

. Then all we need to do is fool the website into thinking that our mplayer is Windows Media Player

.

There has to be a way.

I'm willing to contribute money. Anything to get my fix.

EDIT: on a side note - I registered 2.5 years ago - and this was my first post.

ah man this sucks big monkey balls. i just got done modding a couple boxes with the ndure LIVE setup (softmod+LIVE....easy? i didnt think that was possible until 3 days ago.) and i downloaded the PIMPED version of XBMC, just to find my favorite efferin script no longer works...nuts.

ahh...i love the internet, i believe it may save us one day. anyway i sent this complaint to Yahoo! Music, maybe someone will read it and pass it up, haha, i'll be sure to let you guys know if they reply

I used to connect to this site along with thousands of other people everyday thru XBMC on my xbox. in fact, it was most assuredly my favorite feature, and many would've agreed in the past, of all the amazing things i can do with my xbox (I am an experienced modder, my box does alot of cool shizite), streaming videos to my tv was really cool. now you want me to join your 'club' and i have to use windows media player to view...lame. you have effectivly killed a great service, one that used to be highly regarded by everyone across the forums, and probably brought alot of computer traffic to your site, as most of us xboxers like computers too. now all i see is complaints. sorry to see you go Yahoo!...then again i always knew Google was by far the best. they will likely be a true team player in the eventual political restructuring toward a free, progressive network that lives within information technologies, accessible and traversable by anyone...ahh democracy 2.0, maybe it'll work lets try it; contrasting the hypocritical, resource convoluting, infrastructure/glory hungry systems of the NOW that will fulfill the 'apocalypse'; it's too bad most people don't grasp the idea of INfinite potential; when i look at you i'm really looking at myself in a different way, one of all possibility. the bible is a sham, translated thru languages that don't no longer exist and adjusted to foster political oppressions of King James etc., jesus was the man tho, just misunderstood by the thumpers of TODAY; think about it. sorry about the blowout, but c'mon Yahoo! why did you go flaccid and give up our searches to the Man? It's Porn. We like it free. Get the youngins off the sites themselves but leave the responsibility of viewing to the parents. why shun sex to embrace violence? are you seeing the apocalypse yet? Things do not change just because they are written on a little piece of dead tree somewhere that could have been hemp...thank you Du Pont...and i respect google for sticking with us and not the machine, and i know that many would agree. Also, please do not email me anything other than an apology, as i did not sign up for any flipping mailing lists. thank you.

...not really sure that is going to help anything or if it was really a good idea to say that directly to yahoo, not that it probably hasn't been said before, but, it is a subscription service, it's kindof like calling the cable company about shutting off your stolen cable...
