A way to view the P&G Classic soaps at AOL video...............

AOL is having major technical issues with the AW,EON,SFT and Texas videos not loading in their embedded players.

On the first day that they post the episodes,the correct URL(the one that I post at Yuku)comes up in the AOL player,but within a day or two another URL with RTMP shows up and it is a non working address.

For example,these are the URLs that come up in AOL's players and they are non active URLs...........

rtmp://flv.stream.aol.com/flash/aol/us/aolcomvideo/PandG/texas/texas_tx00273_220_700_dl.flv

rtmp://flv.stream.aol.com/flash/aol/us/aolcomvideo/PandG/anotherworld/anotherworld_aw04346_220_700_dl.flv

Using the FLV Player-S,which plays RTMP streams,is how I was able to figure out that those URLs are non functioning.

AOL must have an automated system that replaces the working URL with the alternate one,but they don't check to see if it is active.

Having said that,I recommend using the direct URLs that I have posted at the Yuku board.

The direct links that I post there should work for you,if you either install VLC media player or a codec for windows media player.

Instructions on how to view the URLs.........

VLC Media player doesnt work on my computer. Usually if I catch the episode right after its posted and click on fullscreen immediately after the first commercial I can view the whole show without interruption. However this changed yesterday when I went to watch Another World Episode 4351, only the first act played in full screen then nothing. I hate AOL Video, they suck. If they were going to run these dont you think that they would make sure the frigging player worked correctly. Hulu just recently started showing Another World starting from where Soapnot left off in 1991 and the episodes play beautifully.

I want to take a moment to thank Chuck publicly for providing the links to the aol eps. I just discovered his site a couple of weeks ago and have already managed to d/l ever ep of Edge available (still gotta work on the rest, though. lol). I'm so hooked on EON right now it's not even funny. lol If you've got the latest version of RealPlayer, you can watch the flash videos with it and view full screen and the quality (while not perfectly pristine like the old HiQ vids) is surprisingly good.

Playing those vis via VCL is not the problem: Rather I see some person I don't like and want to skip 30 seconds... :D I can't do that with my VCL version although I cann fast-forward (but not rewind the file). Does it work with RealPlayer?

I second that shout-out to Chuck, BTW: I just briefly watched some classic Texas with the young Kin Shriner and it was very interesting starring Beverly McKinsey of course. ;)

VLC media player doesn't fast forward very well with FLV files,but I have been using KM Player and Media Player Classic which works much better with them.

With KM player,you can set it up to play the same files together(if you clicked on the URLs and saved them),which means that you can play back to back episodes all at once.

I am also recording these videos with my DVD recorder connected to my computer and posted instructions at the Yuku board on how to do that as well.......

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (
