I have attempted several times to look at videos on the MR extra section and can NEVER get it. It always cuts off on me. I have all the correct add-ons required. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just ole me?
Perhaps your web browser is not supported. Regardless of wether or not you have the needed plugins, the website might not support which ever browser you are using.
This web server MR is using does not support very many simultaneous connections to streaming video, especially over dial up lines.
MR needs to upgrade their web server and move their video content to a dedicated video server, which I have suggested they do in our conversations around streaming video content online.
As a web professional who also does video how-to content for the hobby, I’ve had an occassion to speak with MR about this issue and they’ve asked for my suggestions.
As to if and how soon something (if anything) might come of those discussions, I can’t really say. But I do know they are aware of the problem and are looking into how to improve things.
In the meantime, try visiting a friend who has a broadband connection and try viewing the video from there.
