In short, I was able to watch the live feed for the Nintendo Conference yesterday, but today now that the event streams to re-watch these are up, I cannot watch them at all. The page loads up, but no video starts. If it matters any, I watched it live on campus via IE6, while I'm here at home with Firefox 3, Safari 3 and IE7 at my disposal. Any idea so I can get these videos to play?

I've got the same issue, however the player also locks up my browser. Both IE and Firefox.

Hey guys - sorry you are having issues. Is the video still not starting for you? If so, can you let me know which link you are clicking on for the press conference? Thanks.

The links I'm using are the ones labeled "Event Stream" on the main Gamespot E3 page here. The popup shows the player window, but no video actually starts playing.

Same here, the links on the main E3 page. However, now I get the first frame loaded with the animated loading graphic but it just sits there and then locks up my browser.

Yeah everything loads up but that circle in the middle keeps spinning as if the video was just loading very slowly. Normally I don't have to wait at all for videos to stream but I can't even watch any of the E3 videos including stages demos.

Anyone still having trouble playing E3 live event videos? We are looking into this, but I'm not seeing any issues on my end in FF3 or IE6.

It's not the live events we are having issues with. Those work fine. It's the streams for already aired video such as the conferences.

I still can't play any of the press conferences. The popup page for the video play takes forever, and when it finally does load the player window, it won't play the video, no matter how many times I click the play button. I use Firefox 3 at home.

I just tried again on the computers at school, and the E3 press conference videos play when running IE6 on them. But of course, none of the school computers do not have any audio capability whatsoever, so that doesn't really help me.

I still cannot get the E3 conferences to load in Firefox 3. For what it's worth, I tried it on Safari for Windows, and that works. So I don't know what the hell is wrong here. :(
