‘Arfernoon,
Quick question to the floor – could anyone confirm whether they are having trouble seeing the live RUK racing pictures on their PCs or laptops this afternoon, please?
The archives, e.g. of yesterday’s action are loading up fine, but the Live page just produces a black screen and stays there.
Many thanks in advance for any confirmation or otherwise of a problem.
Ta,

It’s fine for me here, I’m sorry to tell you.
Try the settings option and uncheck where its says "UDP Ports". You then need to restart the TayV player. You could also check if you have the latest version of the Rayv player.
Grateful thanks for the input. In the event a mismatch between versions of Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer appears to have been the cause (in as much as some fairly unscientific beggaring about with them seems to have fixed the problem).
I note from the small print in the Q&As on the RUK site, incidentally, that no mention is made of the web feed working with Windows 7 as yet – I may just try that out on my parents’ so-endowed laptop next time I’m up there, and prepare to do a Dennis Lincoln Park-type tiptoe away if I wreck their set-up in the process.

the live feed works fine on my Win7 PC, as well as my Leopard/Snow Leopard Macs, and even in Win7 on both sides of the Macs (bootcamp and parallels).
and using various browsers – IE, Safari, Firefox, Chrome.
Win7 is not Vista – and that’s from an XP hold-out.
one thing that does work for me though – having once got a machine stable – is then to refuse all the periodic "helpful" Win updates over web.
on the basis of having done that since before Vista and having suffered not a single problem (vs regular post-update problems when i was accepting them), i have wondered whether the word "critical" might not be more a reference to them keeping a hold on users in various ways (ongoing income stream is critical, right?) than to me maintaining a stable machine and minimising my beggaring-about time.
maybe i’ve been lucky, but just having a decent anti-virus prog as cover has always kept my XP and Win7 fine.
Question to Wit, please, as you seem to be very au fait with PCs.
A little project I hope to pursue in the near future…is it possible to somehow edit tunes/songs taken from the internet and just somehow save just short segments and end up with one continuous long track of say ten second plays of audio(only) from a variety of artistes. It’s for a Name That Tune competition for some elderly people. Do I need any particular software to be able to cut and join? I used to be able to do this when I had a reel to reel tape machine connected to record player so I’m wondering if the same principle can be applied to a computer.
Your or anyone’s help much appreciated.
obviously intellectual property rights always have to be respected.
subject to that, for getting source material off the likes of youtube there is (free):
and for then editing video/audio there is the likes of the toolbox at AVS (not free but also not pricey at moment):
