Have a Question for Me?

Federfore...

This one wouldn't play either. Maybe don_budge will give it a test too.

The only clip that ran was the Federer forehand. Everything else comes up blank.

GC,

It's the old stroke archives, right guys?

I have an IMac. How do you use the Firefox browser? Yes…as far as I can tell it is only the old stroke archives.

Some horrible new incompatibility problem caused by Apple bloat ware. GC? Any ideas on how to fix what was once perfect??

Don't think this is actually related to Yosemite, as most of the Pancho files do work just fine on Yosemite/Safari on my Mac. We are looking into this, but in the meantime, you can use the Firefox browser, which seems to play all Pancho movies just fine. Stay tuned...

Guys,

First of all I have no idea what Yosemite is...I went clicking around in both my mac and pc through some of the original clips no problem.

Since there are about 40,000 clips give me an example of some that don't work ok?

Yosemite is the new operating system for Macs.

I can't access any of the Pancho Gonzales clips. I can get the videos up on the screen but when I click the play button nothing plays. I have had similar problems with the Safin clips and the older Djokovic clips. I'll have to delve back in if you need precise examples...

Same here…no oldies access

John, I cannot seem to play the older clips in the archive anymore. Any ideas? Could it be a Yosemite thing? I downloaded Yosemite around a month ago and I think it's since then I haven't been able to access the older clips?

I was complaining about the same problem…back in post #1571. I cannot access the oldies. I didn't download the Yosemite thing.

Hey John,

In one of your articles you mention that the the Sony VX2100 is used by alot of junior academy.

Does this shoot in high speed? or enough to freeze frames

What camera would you purchase if your budget was $3000

[John Yandell]

Right. It's not Phil's connection per se--something in the internet pipes between us and him.

[gzhpcu]

Thing is, I connect to other sites quickly, just Tennisplayer is slow... maybe once in 10 times, fast...

[John Yandell]

Yeah believe it or not I know that. 50 megs for me in SF!

Internet Rube Goldberg machine

Just observing the vagueness of the digital universe...our programmer has no idea whatsoever why England would be faster than Switzerland... my bet is in two weeks the issue disappears...

Diagnosing Internet connectivity is difficult even with a great deal of diagnostic information.

For example, if you're on a cable modem, you share bandwidth with everyone on your local loop. So, if a neighbor's kid comes home from college for boxing day and decides to binge watch Game of Thrones from Netflix, you're bandwidth is gobbled up.

Even if you're not on a cable modem, your connection to your ISP and it's connection to the "backbone" are shared by thousands of users. Ditto from John's servers to the U.K. {Larger corporations pay companies like Akamai to cache copies of their content on servers all over the world, but ... that's another story.}

Here's a link to a service that tests your connection speed and and allows you to test different connections to local servers. Not sure if it works in U.K., but if not search on "internet speed test":

Another useful thing to do if you have a laptop is to try connecting to a friend's broadband connection and see whether your experience is still slow – in which case your computer, not your connection, is at fault. If that doesn't help, collect speed results over a week or so, so you have some ammunition when you phone your ISP's customer services.

Here is a link to info on things to look at on your end:

If you have a Mac, you would use Network Utility:

There are many versions of Windows, so I won't attempt to address them all, but you can start here:

Good luck!
