Ok so it's that time of the year again. I am on windows and have chrome, firefox, ie 11, VLC, flash. Is there any way for me to watch this stream? Heck will this work even if I get quicktime?
Edit:
* So they updated the page to say it will work for quicktime if you are on windows.
* But I am on win 8 and they use js to hide that part. So for now I am assuming it's because quicktime on it's download page only says it is supported upto win 7. So they must be hiding it for people with windows 8.
* I am downloading quicktime anyways and if regular install doesn't work then compatibility mode will almost certainly work for people with windows 8.
* Apart from that you might also need to spoof your UA to safari's. They only allow safari to load the stream. And safari is officially discontinued for windows. WTF apple.
And even then it's not guaranteed to work.
Edit 2: They seem to be showing a html5 video element for a spoofed chrome on windows with quicktime disabled. So maybe they decided to give up after all.
- M4v3R 13y agoApple uses HTTP Live Streaming protocol. VLC should be able to play it just fine. You will probably need a custom URL to feed VLC though. I'll paste the URL here once it's available. EDIT: Quick bash script for extracting VLC-playable URLs (when they're available): curl `curl http://www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2013/ | grep "p.events-delivery.apple.com" | sed 's/\<script.*src="\(.*\)".*/\1/' | sed 's/".*//g'` | sed -e 's/[ \t]//' UPDATE: Here are the links: /snowLeopardurl/ = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdvaeodhbqedvojhbadsfv/refs/13ohbdvohbqsdvojhbdfv09_sl_vod_ref.mov http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv... /non-snowLeopard url/ = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdvaeodhbqedvojhbadsfv/refs/13ohbdvohbqsdvojhbdfv09_hd_vod_ref.mov http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv... /Windowsurl/ = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdvaeodhbqedvojhbadsfv/refs/13ohbdvohbqsdvojhbdfv09_hd_vod_ref.mov http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv... /iphoneurl / = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdvaeodhbqedvojhbadsfv/refs/13ohbdvohbqsdvojhbdfv09_iphone_vod_ref.mov http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv... /ipadurl/ = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdvaeodhbqedvojhbadsfv/refs/13ohbdvohbqsdvojhbdfv09_ipad_vod_ref.mov http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv... /voip/ = http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdvaeodhbqedvojhbadsfv/refs/13ohbdvohbqsdvojhbdfv09_audio_vod_ref.mov http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1309ouhbqdv...
- Achshar 13y agoSo the url will be in the page source? Even when the page is on incompatible software?
- grecy 13y agoLast time VLC on WinXP would crash after a few seconds trying to play the official apple stream. Check reddit.com/r/apple and someone will post up a list of "pirate streams". One of them worked great for me in Firefox on XP last time. EDIT: As of T-45 minutes, someone said they're going to use http://www.onemorething.nl/live http://www.onemorething.nl/live which will hopefully not have commentary when it starts. Also they're saying the URL for VLC is http://live.wowza.kpnstreaming.nl/onemorethinglive/OMTLIVE/playlist.m3u8 http://live.wowza.kpnstreaming.nl/onemorethinglive/OMTLIVE/p... EDIT: For me, on Win XP, latest VLC is playing http://live.wowza.kpnstreaming.nl/onemorethinglive/OMTLIVE/playlist.m3u8 http://live.wowza.kpnstreaming.nl/onemorethinglive/OMTLIVE/p... perfectly. It's the stream, no commentary, etc.

- tgkokk 13y agoFrom the page: > Live Streaming video requires Safari 4 or later on OS X v10.6 or later; Safari on iOS 4.2 or later. Streaming via Apple TV requires second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 5.0.2 or later. So, no, unless someone posts a link to a live stream you can watch with VLC, this won't work on any non-Apple device (even with QuickTime).
