Lots of updates
Ok the original shoutcast video streams which nobody seemed to get the video for have gone.
In their place we have a shiny new Windows Media Video stream (Video and Audio, WMV) which most of our test viewers were able to get the video for and a new Windows Media Audio stream (Audio only, WMA) to match.
The WMV and WMA streams can be opened direct in your windows media player (or equivalent) or you can play them in the browser.
In the browser players the links should now all make a bit more sense too. We were in between systems and it all got a bit chaotic.
The new streams aren't perfect yet and we've still got some teething troubles, but at least we have a lot more options now than before and it seems to work for most people rather than not work :)
Unfortunately the browser players don't seem to work with Apple computers.. please open the streams directly in your chosen media player (e.g. vlc media player).
Firefox on PC can play all the streams if you have installed the VLC media player "mozilla plugin".
If you are using Firefox or an Apple computer then please download the VLC media player from here.

Updates to the Windows Media Stream
Ok well the testing of the Windows Media Stream seems to be mostly successful, but the audio quality was a bit pants so we've fiddled it and it should be much better now. It's rinsing out here good and propa with no break-ups in the sound now :)
We'll be re-encoding the existing content for it as well as retiring the current main video stream pretty soon...

New Server, Windows Media Test stream!!!
Ok it's still very much in test phase at the moment and is subject to randomness while we test stuff, but here it is:
Open in Internet Explorer
Open in Windows media player
Open in Firefox
We're also very much across on the new server now, hopefully lots more powerful and better able to cope with the traffic.
