OK Go's iMusicast show archived

Unknown
edited November -1 in OK Go
iMusicast was this club in Oakland that streamed all of their shows live and they had chatrooms for people to talk while they watched. OK Go played there a long time ago and I went to the show. I was hoping that they would be the video on their website, but they didn't and they eventually closed and turned into a studio I think. Anyway, I just found out that they have all of their shows archived, including the OK Go show. You have to create an account with them and if you have a Mac, the videos only work in Internet Explorer. I tried Safari and Firefox and it didn't work.

Once you log in, just search for OK Go. It's a really good show, especially for me because it was the first time I saw them do Les Miz, the first time Tim thanked me for my brownies on stage, and the first time I saw the AMW dance live. So many memories. Oh yeah, if you want to know the set list, I can post it because the order of the videos is kind of jumbled.

    The site says Macs need Windows Media Player 9 from here.
    Did you try that?

    I'm glad you all enjoyed it! I have a really bad memory, so a lot of it seemed new to me.

    I have it, but it still won't work in Firefox or Safari for some reason. As long I can watch it, I'm happy.

    Okay babies... Spent some time on this for Mac users who don't have Internet Explorer, but do have Windows Media Player 9 (but Windows users can use this playlist too AFAIK.) This playlist should play all of the videos one-by-one. I also re-ordered the videos according to their number, so I think they're in the correct order (like the set list).

    ^ That's a zipped playlist file for WMP; it should uncompress to "OAK3.asx". Save it to your Desktop or wherever, and unzip it.

    Mac users, here's the thing: On my Mac, Quicktime would try to hijack this file even if I said "Open with Windows Media Player". So here's what you do: Open Windows Media Player 9 first. Then click File > Open and go to where you saved and unzipped this file, and open it that way. (Oh and get Windows Media Player 9 first if you don't have it. Don't try Quicktime; Quicktime is BORKED.)

    You will notice that the promo plays again before some clips. I don't think there's much I can do about that in the time I have; it could be that that's how it's supposed to work.

    Side rant: Quicktime is borked and Windows Media Player can't even create its own unbroken playlists for its own self to use. mad.gif I had to manually edit this one. Grrr. Here's the link to a nice Linux: http://opensuse.org. Ciao.

    Karen, you're the best smile.gif



    and you say WMP will work? or does the side rant mean otherwise?

    WMP9 for Mac plays this playlist fine on my Mac (OS X Tiger, PPC) so I'm hoping that everyone can use this playlist to see the videos, whether they use Macs or Linux/Windows PCs. (And thank Linux for helping out with this! tongue.gif )

    --Edit: Taking out another idea; I have to look into something first--

    Because these are such large files to be streaming, I am uploading the individual wmv files. Stay tuned here; I'll post when they're done uploading. I actually had to do some hexidecimal editing to take header crap out of them so that Quicktime (and some other players) can play them. You'd just need to be able to play WMV9 files, then. I assume all of you Mac users can play WMV files one way or another, but in case not, Mac users can either have "Windows Media Player 9 for Mac", "VLC", or "Flip4Mac" installed, to play them.

    WMV files for all!

    Totally random: Every time I see this thread's title, I think it says "MuggleCast."
