The C9 forum RSS feeds used to include a reference to the comments. Now, they don't.

How do I get the comments back?

Well, VirtualBox was an acquisition after all.

(Company was formerly known as Innotek.)

My biggest present is a promise to buy a replacement office chair once I have a chance to go chair shopping. My current chair spontaneously falls to the ground and the upholstery is torn in at least 3 places.

You have my sympathies. I eventually fled my Big Bank and left for saner pastures (aka credit union/online bank).

The unfortunate part is that this doesn't have to be a mystery. Back in the day, when I deposited a check, World Savings would give me a small slip of paper that said (approximately):

Available Now: $50
In 10 Days: $X + $50
In 20 Days: $Y + $X +$50
(and so on)

@Ian2:Thank you so much for bringing this article up. It is quite an interesting read.

Here's the Cup(Of T):

Looks like it uses the Visual Studio colors.

I agree that right now, waiting seems to be the best solution. Thanks for promising to look into the issue.

I've noticed that when I click on the play button, there is a lag between loading the 2 (?) video players. In short, this is what I get:

1. Click on big play button in the middle of the video
2. Wait for the spinning Silverlight thingy to reach 100%.
3. If impatient, then mash the little play button until something starts playing. This seems to trigger the non-Smooth Streaming playback.
4. Else, wait an unknown # of seconds/minutes until the Smooth Streaming playback starts.

Is there any way to go straight to Smooth Streaming instead of showing the intermediate video player that takes the viewer away from Smooth Streaming?

For the longest time, I thought C9 had abandoned Smooth Streaming because every time I tried to watch a video, I'd end up mashing the play button in frustration and then waiting for interminable "buffering..."

I'm happy that I found out how to get Smooth Streaming back but unhappy that there's the unknown wait in step #4.
