I can't watch/download the official screencasts... - El Forum - 02-10-2008

Hi i'm new to CI and after reading the docs i would like to see the 2 official screencasts on this site. The problem is that if i try to watch them live in the browser with the quicktime plugin the streaming is so slow that i can't watch it and if i try instead to download them with the direct link the download stops after some time.

You can try pause it when it starts and wait until it loads completely. Then you play it again.

i've tried pausing it but the progress indicator doesn't go on so the video is not downloaded. Why i can't download it directly?

You can download almost any video from the Internet with DownloadHelper. It is an add-on for FireFox and works nicely. After install it, just go to the page where the video is and click the down arrow near its button in the toolbar. It will show a list of files you can save.

But if your connection is too poor and is experiencing packet losses, you may cannot download it anyway. Try to watch or download the video from another place with a faster connection.

...And you can download any video from CodeIgniter just by checking the source code of the site!
For example, the blog tutorial has in its src tag: "/videos/blog.mov". Knowing this you can add "http://codeigniter.com/videos/blog.mov" to your favorite download manager and there you go.

I don't know if we are allowed to do this since there is no download link for the tutorials. Maybe they're trying to save bandwith Tongue

I've had that problem before, Skyblaze, on my satellite connection. Using a browser add-on that allows dynamic resuming helps in these instances, but at least in my case it's been intermittent. I can have the problem one day, but not the next.

Any download manager should do the trick.
