APPCRASH: Stop. Breath. And get some fucking patience. Did you try PS website forums or FAQs? Is your shit plugged in? What kind of connection are you running?
Well to be fair he did wait a day, some impatient bastards on here wait maybe 5 minutes.
lol patience? I waited a whole day for a reply guy. i tried searching it, but you'd be surprised at how specific this problem is. It's just this site, and can only run ZP videos. My 'shit' is plugged in. I know how to turn my PS3 on and connect it to a network, been doing it for a while now thank you very much. I am on a wireless network with a SpeedTouch router and it works just fine. The only problem I have is a lack of any other form of video other than ZP.

I do agree, but I live with my girlfriend. She likes the Sims 3. That means my computer is off limits when she's playing (please keep whipped jokes to a comfortable minimum). It'd be nice to watch stuff out of the PS3s browser when I want to surf!
again, this isn't desperate, just a query as to why it happens, so I am aware that computers are capable. My question is more specific as to why ZP plays but nothing else. I assume ZPs videos are played no different than any other video on the site, so why is it they don't work but ZP does?

I'm assuming that the rest of the videos run on flash. Try a youtube or newgrounds video to check. If those don't play try downloading adobe's latest flash player. It doesn't work on the PSP but I haven't tried it on the PS3 yet. If not I have no idea...
Nice avatar by the way, I always loved Metal Gear.

Wrong, the videos are encoded differently here than on other sites. The flash used isn't compatible with the browser and so only ZP plays (although I'm not sure about any of the new eps).
All ZP eps play. Flash plays fine, I often watch Newgrounds and Youtube vids. Okay, so videos are encoded differently here compared to OTHER SITES, but I'm not watching ZP on OTHER SITES, I'm watching it here. Does it not make sense to anyone else that I should be able to wach one video library but not the others? It's been a problem since I discovered this site. Used to come here for ZP alone but then checked out the rest of the site and found it highly intriguing and here I am, and I started watching ZP mid last year, but expanded my horizons early this year, haven't been able top play any other vids, ever.
..most likely there's a script of some sort that launches the video, which the ps browser doesn't handle well. ..wish we had a bug- reporting scheme of some sort..

LOL she is playing Sims 3 and making her dream BF while you surf the net.
I have the same problem, so you Escapist IT guys need to fix it! I wonder what is different in yatchzee's videos that let them play but no one elses? I know! yatchzee loves us ps3 owners!
ansem1532: *palmface* If only Max were here to slap some sense into you perverts.
*waits upon Max's godly wrath*
Where is your god now?!?

Um.....No. You'd have to ask Virgil or one of the techies about the situation. It might be that Croshaw uploads his files in a different format.

Good sir you must learn to use the quote button. Take it up with either the creators of the shows you watch or like I said, PM a staff techie.
On my PS3 so can't quote efficiently but I'll try contacting staff, seems a better option.
Apparantly pornhub works on the browser.
She's not creating her perfect bf, she's being a eugenics freak by killing old people and fathers to play single mothers who she kills when the kids are old enough.
PS3 has a browser so that Krakyn can use pornhub on his TV for naughty fun when nobody's home

Ooooohhh the temptation to do a whipped joke. But I'm too nice.
My first recommendation is to switch to a wired connection if you can. If that doesn't work for you. Turn off the thing, unplug all the cables, wait for 1-2 hours, and then plug em all back in. Try making a different network preference, and if any of those don't work for you, I don't know what to tell ya. It's probably bandwidth usage.
Does anyone know why the only escapist vids that play on my PS3 are Yahtzee's? Iget audio but no video for ALL other videos. It's just wierd people!
