MegaVideo

[Moriarty]

This is for talk on MegaVideo and MegaUpload.

For all those people who use the download links in viewtopic.php?t=710.0 to go to MegaVideo and watch the episodes there, I think I found a way to glitch it to give you an extra 72 minutes. As all those "change ip address" tricks don't seem to work for me along with that Mozilla Firefox add on.

I haven't tested it to the full extent but,
Step 1: When you run out of time, do something else for 5-10 minutes WITHOUT doing anything to the page.
Step 2: Come back and refresh the page.
How to tell if this will work: If, after Step 2, the play button is green, and when you click it the bar is fully loaded - (or as far as it was before the refresh, I do not know).
After That: The time out will come in like 2 seconds, but with a significantly lower time (for me, anyway). When You wait that amount of time, you should have more time added until the time out comes again.

I have been able to do this a few times, but I don't know the full extent.
When I did it (the first time, without knowing) I was expecting it to time out, but I got a few more episodes than usual in before the time out.

I've found that it's often just better to download the eps rather than watch em on megavideo

MU can't just stop your downloads mid-download like it can happen if you're on megavideo, and I don't really run into download caps easily on MU either.

[Moriarty]

Yeah I download them but I use it to watch other shows that I don't know where to download. (Example: 24)

And I think I found a better way:

When you are watching an episode of SOMETHING (lol) and you know you are going to get a time out on that episode, let it buffer all the way, the close it and reopen it.

[Vylash]

Well if you're running firefox, you could just install the illumitux add on, that's what i use if i don't want to download it

[Moriarty]

I tried that, but it didn't work for me. . .

[Vylash]

well, the original video has to be a divx video for it to work, but it works perfectly for me everytime, are you getting an error message or something

[Moriarty]

No, the normal time runs out and it stops working.

Maybe because the files weren't DivX. . .

[Vylash]

that's odd, usually when the time limit runs out the page is supposed to refresh, and the video is supposed to start over again from the same spot

[Moriarty]

Yeah, it refreshes but doesn't start over. . .

I don't know. I will try it again when I need to.

[Moriarty]

I tried it again but when it reloaded it stayed at 0%. . .

you can let the video buffer till the end without watching it, then switch on the "work offline" mode, should work
