When a friend is hurting, and you can do nothing......
When a friend lashes out....
When you have done no intentional harm....
Realize their mindset, their inner pain....
Let it flow over you, embrace it.
Place blame on no party...
Internalize their hurt...
Amend it....
Take the anger onto yourself....
Do not retaliate.
When there are no words....
When there is no atonement...
Remain silent in the face of silence...
And hope the love remains...
Until the cameraderie returns.

Ok, now that that's out of my system, I need HELP!!!!! I bought that TV that Spanki mentioned in his post (the one that Quagmire brought up in the comments section, actually, and Spanki gave the link to.), tried to update my Emerald (they had, as of that day, taken the new Beta down from the site, and when I try to run the LAST upgrade, my SL crashes every time as I am logging in.) At Franzi's suggestion, I updated all of my Quick-time players, my other Flash player, my browsers (Firefox AND Explorer), and everything that he and I could think of. I STILL can't view streaming media inworld, and know that this is no longer an Emerald issue, for he can, and others can. I've tried using the local browser, and my defaut ones, both of them. Sometimes I get sound, but no picture. Movies I can view, if they are html based, but not Youtube videos and the like, nor the streaming news and such internet TV channels. The TV is configured properly, as he has no problems viewing them, just some issues with the controls, which I *think* was because I had access permissions set wrong. I am running Windows 7 on a 64-bit system, and have updated all devices and programs accordingly. If ANYONE has a potential solution to this problem, please feel free to comment here, or for those of you that are on Facebook, drop me an email. TYVM in advance. This is driving me NUTS!!!!
Personally, I think this is a 64-bit issue, but have yet to hear back from Emerald support. I've also tried running 32-bit versions of these viewers, flash players, etc. Both versions work fine in every other program I have, except SL. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr............ I currently run Emerald 1636, have tried 2700, and actually had the new beta installed, but it doesn't work right 64-bit, so uninstalled it, and now their link to it is pulled. Halp!!!!!

hey Tel, thats a pain about the TV. Ado has the same one, it was him who recommended it to me, so maybe you could ask him about his settings. I run Vista 32 bit, Jess has windows 7 64 bit, but we both use Emerald 2270 cuz IMO the other betas are just too buggy. I think the builder of the TV is very helpful, it wouldn't hurt to give them a shout and see if they can get it working for you. I have seen alot of comments on their Xstreet page saying they are helpful etc, and also in the NC it says to ask them about any issues. Have you tried running 1.23 to see if it will work? Oh god, I can't bring myself to say try Viewer 2. Ok, I'm out of ideas, I hope you get it resolved. Spanks
ReplyDeleteOh, P.S. dont forget that every time you install a new Emerald viewer you have to completely uninstall any previous versions, as beta's don't overwrite. Maybe that is causing some issues. Maybe try uninstalling everything to do with viewers completely and then starting over with 2270 or whatever is there now. Spanks
ReplyDeleteThanks, Spanks... (Yeah, I had too..lol!) Yeah, I thought I had the older Emerald completely gone before I used the 2270 (I typed that wrong in the original post..heh). Franzi had told me about that one, because I was trying to install it OVER the old Emerald. Heh, I tried 2.0 long ago, and again with the final "fix". It's built in media player works fine, but is NOT worth the trade-off for me. :).
ReplyDeleteContacting the maker? What an original concept! LOL! Is this like reading the instructions BEFORE you try to assemble the bicycle? *grins* Thx for the help, kiddo... I'll put the cookies in the oven!
