Copied and pasted:
So it says on the Apple website that only OSX Safari works and any Apple handheld. No Windows devices are compatible straight off the bat (like how it's been for all this time)
An easy workaround is this:
Download VLC Player from here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html[1]
Install it and everything, make sure it works correctly.
Open the program. Click on Media (top left) > Open Network Stream.
You will see this screen: http://puu.sh/bqV9o.png
Paste this link into that field: http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1503ohibasdvoihbasfdv/live/8500/8500.m3u8?x-session

- publicfig 12y agoWhoops, I didn't see that. It's been fixed
- brians 12y agoThat might work! But I think you're dodging some of the load-balancing intelligence in Safari, and so missing one of the important feedback loops for stream performance. It might work---or you might find that reloading the page, you're offered new URLs.
