Daily Show video clips not playing?

[Darth_Pugwash]

With all the hoo-ha about the American elections going on I've been watching clips on the Daily Show website (linky), but just recently they seem to have plum stopped working, and I have no idea why.

Anyone else have the same problem? Any solutions?

Have you noticed any other decreases in connection speed?

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

No, I've not noticed any other connection problems at all.

So, other flash based video players (Youtube, metacafe, googlevideo, collegehumor, etc) all play? Do the other Comedy Central clips play? (Mencia, Colbert, et al)

What browser/OS are you using? Did you do anything to the browser or flash plugin that would have stopped them from playing? Anything in the news about your local government throttling streaming video? Do you live in North Korea?

Did a bit of digging and apparently the clips are not meant to be viewable outside of the US, so I guess that's the problem (I'm in the UK, don't know how they worked before but I guess they must have 'fixed' something at their end.)

So, no more free international publicity for you, Jon Stewart.

You might try an ISP randomizer then to hide where you are browsing from.

Or a proxy, although sometimes they don't work with videos.
