Still problems with random movies not playing!

guy

So some days all my SM movies will play, other days some will & some wont.

This movie was playing fine for a couple of days after uploading but wont play at all today. Just tries to load forever but never does :^(

Tomorrow it may be a different movie that will stop working or the same one!

This has been going on since the upgrade.

Yes, I tried it for you as well... on Windows Vista with both FF and IE (both the latest updates) and the movie you linked to just keeps trying to load & won't ever play. That was the new SmugMug, right? [ETA: Just tried on Chrome as well. No go.]

Possibly the worst OS ever created. You need to seriously upgrade.

Yeah, believe me... we're quite aware!!!! In fact, we most likely wouldn't be using any Windows product if we had much real choice in the matter. People around here always seem to forget that a lot of us are stuck with various products we're stuck with due to work requirements (or compatibilities) of one kind or another, and never mind any financial considerations. Some of us are working from home from time to time, some of us are allowed to have free copies of this or that at home, some of us are stuck with upgrade schedules linked to work-this or work-that.

I have people telling me all the time that I shouldn't be still using CS4, or certain versions of LR, or I should shoot RAW (gee, wouldn't that be a dream) or I should have the big glass, or I should spend half my life re-doing my entire website, or why don't I have a camera that will always correctly auto-rotate everything internally. Yep, wouldn't it all be nice.

Fwiw, we haven't particularly experienced many of the Vista issues that others have... and the products since that have some highly un-enviable characteristics as well that don't make one jump up & down for joy. So there's that. Really almost all the problems I've had with it are related to its overly-zealous security sensitivity... i.e. wants one to sign in too frequently. Irritating, but less irritating than some issues on 7 & 8.... Anyway, we all do what we gotta do.
