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 didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
