iFollow Thread

[Bigdoggsteel]

So went to log onto ifollow and I got a message that my IP has been blocked by the elf website. I was using a VPN. Very disappointing. Lucky I was just using match passes and not a season pass.

Finally got a decent iFollow video but no sound. Completely silent. Android phone in use.

sound has just kicked in around kick off thankfully

The crackdown has already started. I notice the VPN I sometimes use is stopping it's free service in a few weeks. Also this very same VPN stopped working on several sites this year. BBC etc. started blocking VPN's a while back too.

Total control is coming....

Is the game on any channel other than sky? Even an American channel or something?

It's funny though, the more they shut down access from paying customers via VPN, the more it pushes people toward pirated streams where the clubs make no money at all.

VPN Express free for first 30 days. Then about £50 for a year. Beats the Great Firewall. You chose where you are in the world. Los Angeles 3 particularly good.

How do they get around the 'blocking'?

Or do they?

I presume a particular website can always tell once they cotton on. Hence sites like BBC blocking certain VPNs that previously used to work.

I am no expert beyond telling you works in China.

No sound for today's game (QPR) at home? 

[Roverthechimp]

Was wondering if it was just me ?

Restarted everything 3 times ?

The sound works on all the ifollow videos and the listen live link (albeit just the music). So again, it's the numpties that sort out the live streams that are to blame (last week they switched from the West Brom commentary to Rovers after about 10 mins).

I think it's because the commentators haven't turned up and plugged in the sound lead. . . It was better last season when the sound and camera feeds were together on the same channel.

Silent movies today,

 

Given the QPR strip it would be better in black and white but with sound.

Lately, they only seem to turn the sound on right before kick-off. No sound at the moment for me.

 

[Husky]

I have a theory it's because the Blackburn lot are terrible timekeepers. As last week they turned up late and had the West Brom feed for the first 10 mins or so.

But QPR don't have iFollow. . . .hence today's silent movie.

[Roverthechimp]

Don't mind no commentary but weird without any sound from the ground

[Husky]

Yeah, as I said, it was better last year when the sound feed came with the camera.

We don't need commentary (it's mostly inane waffle anyway), plus we're reliant on 2 things now rather than 1.

[Swanson]

Sound back on, no commentary yet.

I thank them for plugging the lead in . . . but hopefully they'll stay in the bog for a while yet.

[Husky]

Damned, they've switched to the commentary feed (and it sounds like they are still in the aforementioned bog). Atmosphere GONE!

@#/? - "their here..."

[Husky]

Leave the camera mic on FFS! ?

[Husky]

Has anyone else been getting these numbers popping up occasionally?

Or is it time for a new laptop?  ?

[perthblue02]

loving the new enhancement of computer code randomly appearing all over the screen, not sure what it enhances though

@Husky  _ it is them trying to track where live feeds are coming from that have gone out into the wild
