khawk20 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 If when they say they are adding all the MSG shows that were taped, they mean it, it's huge. There are tons of shows on Cawthon's site that aired back then but have never showed up since. This would also answer such things as whether or not certain shows were taped at all. If they mean "everything that has already been converted" is what is being added, well, that's good, but there won't be anything "new". Keep your fingers crossed "all" means "all".

cowboy hats Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 As of last night, xbox 360 still wasn't accepting a log-in. Tried watching Extreme Rules 2012 on my laptop, but that didn't work after a few minutes. Live feed on the computer continues without incident.

Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Two things I did on Roku that I have no idea if it really changed anything but all of the sudden I got ECW stuff 1. On the WWE network account parental controls, switch between on and off and then save 2. On your Roku account page, set your PIN preferences to "don't need a PIN to make a purchase". Thanks for the help but I tried that but it didn't work. Edit: Just got it to work. Thanks everyone for all the help. Yeah, got mine working too, so ditto on the thanks.

hammerva Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 According to the Observer the plan is to put up all the MSG shows that were taped in the next few months. Has to be something new in there right? Not really as probably 90% of the stuff from MSG around 1984-1989 has been on Classics on Demand at one point. Now if they decide to put some of those house shows after 1997 on the Network then complete Huh didn't know Scott Taylor/Scotty Too Hotty was doing jobs on RAW in 1993 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayfabe1984 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Checked some stuff last night and this morning on the Roku. Bash at the Beach '99 crapped out after about three minutes this morning. Last night, Mania 7 stopped as Willie Nelson started warbling "America the Beautiful". Mania 8 seemed to have no issues on the Roku last night and I watched the MSG show from '91 on my Kindle Fire with zero issues last night. I did have an email from WWE this morning stating that they are doing maintenance to the on-demand section and that it would be unavailable at certain points while they complete the maintenance. The email also mentioned that the maintenance should be complete tomorrow morning. Hoping that the "maintenance" they are talking about is related to the Roku.

How many were preserved is up for debate, and if they dark-taped the blackout shows that didn't air on MSG. It all depends on WWE's definition of "all MSG shows".

flyonthewall2983 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I imagine they'll put up shows from the 70's as well. They already have a few up on the VOD and aired one from '75 on the live feed last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm using the Roku 3 and VOD is playing much better today from what I've glanced at. Though Starcade 84 when I start it kicks me off the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I don't know who asked but it won't just be MSG shows airing on the network. Old School will have Maple Leaf Gardens from 10/20/84 on March 7th. I don't know if this aired on 24/7 or not. I am guessing it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 It did air. That Oct 84 show has a fun Bulldogs squash against two hilarious Canadian jobbers ...I think Bobby Bass may have been one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 WON says: Essentially, the technical reason some things did and didn’t work, or didn’t work on different devices was because for both video-on-demand and live streams, WWE and MLBAM are using a content distribution network of a number of caching services in various locations around the country. These servers bring content geographically closer to a user requesting it. But they only serve what is expected to be the most popular content. That’s why the live stream has few problems, but some video-on-demand material that they didn’t expect there would be much interest in, such as WCW and ECW PPVs, have had more problems. When a user requests content not part of the local cache, the cache has to request it, taking time and server resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollinger. Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 That seems like a weird miscalculation on their part. Not that I really care, because I expected it to be a week or two before things were running smoothly. But I would have bet that the content that hasn't been as readily accessible would be the stuff getting hit immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNLister Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Plus they may have been surprised to get so many foreign orders, which obviously screws up the "lets use regional caches for better efficiency" strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 So maybe a best practice is not giving up if it takes longer than 5-10 seconds for a VOD of an old show to pop up? I wonder when most people quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 It did air.

Definitely a strange looking fellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I imagine they'll put up shows from the 70's as well. They already have a few up on the VOD and aired one from '75 on the live feed last night. Of the 5 that have been mentioned in the thread, all 5 aired on 24/7 or Classics or MSG Classics or what not. Nothing "new" there. I'm with Kevin: does "all" mean "all", and does it also mean "complete" in the sense of the whole card. My recollection is that some of the shows that have come out of the vault were incomplete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawk20 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 re: Foreign orders: There isn't supposed to be any yet. US Only from what I understand. Anyone accessing the system outside of the US (Canada, unfortunately, included) is doing it without official knowledge and will show up to the WWE Servers as US subscribers.

Loss Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Honestly, I wonder if that is what is causing some of the problems. If nothing else, it would make an easy, convenient scapegoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 It would certainly be nice if they'd release some kind of update on the issues with the X-Box 360. Haven't been able to get passed the log in screen since opening day. If this is going to be a long term thing, I'll just go buy a Roku. I am loving the stupid people losing their mind over it though. I saw a guy on Twitter trying to organize a class action lawsuit against WWE because the Network doesn't work on 360! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 The Roku 3 wasn't working 4 me on VOD as of this morning. I'd get an error message after 2 minutes of great video. So I'd save your money on the Roku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yeah, I'm in the X-Box boat, but I'm in no hurry, some of those people on twitter are psychos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollinger. Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Everything seems to be working perfectly now on Apple TV. Just checked about a dozen different shows from all three companies in different years. Everything is loading smoothly, chapter breaks are functional, can skip ahead without buffering/dying. Though it is the typical ATV chapter breaks, that aren't actually marked at anything, just skipping ahead ~5 minutes at a time. At least helps you get to where you want to go faster. A lot of people don't seem to know ATV does chapter breaks. When the time bar is on the screen, press the down arrow on the remote. Then one press of the forward button moves you ahead a chapter.

JNLister Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Having worked perfectly yesterday, absolutely nothing is playing on PS3 now, meaning I've no hope of watching NXT live. Not exactly filling me with confidence for Mania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
