Response About M.nbc.com Streaming Issue!!!1!1!2!!!!@!#
- Here's something interesting: Not sure if anyone has tried this or not.
Go to the link your phone is trying to access on your computer browser.
http://kmedia.m.nbc.com/54153/MZ/jay...t2_16x9_30.mov
And that also fails to HTTP 403 Forbidden and I have a very much American IP address with AT&T uVerse service.10-01-09 11:52 PMLike 0 - I have a question, and please excuse me if it was answered way back............
I have a Verizon Tour. If I go to m.nbc.com I don't even see full episodes to try and play. There's nothing I can find. There is a link that says "Watch Video (Learn more)". If I follow that link, there's some message that says:
Upgrade to a Blackberry Storm, 9530, Bold 9000, Curve 8900, 8300, Pearl 8130 and Wi-Fi enabled BB Smartphone and start enjoying full streaming videos from nbc.com.10-02-09 07:38 AMLike 0 -

So, yes, the bold is right.
You can see what location Proxy you're picking up by finding your IP and doing a trace. All the times I've done this, I've turned up a RIM based IP in the north country.
The only progs that don't use BIS Proxy servers are those apps that can use socks.... Opera Mini is such an app.Last edited by JRSCCivic98; 10-02-09 at 07:45 PM.
10-02-09 07:43 PMLike 0 - patches152Bannedanything that has a service book goes through RIM infrastructure...so things like opera, pandora, etc...i do believe those go through carrier data channels, which is why pandora isn't blocked with the "geotagging" or whatever...
browser speeds suck due to what you outlined, but also how the browser renders everything. it's all on the device to process and render...that's why when you're loading a "big" site with your browser, multi-tasking lags...10-02-09 07:46 PMLike 0 - patches152Bannedokay so m.nbc.com people are asking crackberry to help collect examples of issues...
Hey Patches this is what I have for =)
Can you please ask your contact at Crackberry to download an NBC.com BB
shortcut designed to optimize their video experience at using a BB
device.
Go to http://m.nbc.com and find the promote that points you to a
BlackBerry shortcut. It will take you to a page that explains how to
download an NBC.com shortcut for your homescreen. It might actually drop
the icon in your Downloads or Applications folder, depending on which BB
you're using, but you can move it to the homescreen for easier access.
Also, it would be of help to us if your contact could send this
information...
1. The exact model number of the device
2. The exact error they encountered
3. Step by step instructions on how to reproduce the error
Let me know what happens.
Thanks,

1) storm 9530 on VZW
2) when browsing the site, if i try to load a streaming video page i get a 403: forbidden error...or i'll get a 503 timeout error when trying to load the actual m.nbc.com home page....the home page works half of the time, and i can navigate around and browse show's libraries, and i get the 403 when i try the actual video link
3)from my device, i use either the mobile launcher or bookmark to m.nbc.com homepage, (this is where i'll get the 503, if i get that specific error. it seems to be intermittent. prolly 30% of the time i get the 503) navigate to the show i wish to view, select the episode i wish to watch, click the link, and i'll get a 403 error.10-14-09 05:25 PMLike 0 - [email protected]
Storm 9530 on vzw
1)trying to load the first link under "latest full epsiodes" (Jay Leno) from the shortcut get a 403: forbidden. details :
You do not have permission to access "http://kmedia.m.nbc.com/54153/MZ/jay/longform/200910/nbc_jay_eps_22_10_13_2009_pt1_16x9_30.mov?" on this server.
reference # 18.c7eef748.1255559302.2e3e9aed
2) click on watch video from shortcut get the oops error about browser not being supported. same with browse video library.list of all full episodes works but get the 403 error when a link is clicked
3) the browser error states that my browser does not support m.nbc video content. to watch i need to use my phones wap browser or blackberry browser. icon below will launch the right browser everytime when downloaded. Is this supposed to download a player or just a shortcut to m.nbc.com. Seems to me its just an internet shortcut
This states "Blackberry browser" which could have 2 meanings. blackberry browser could just mean the general description of the browser but it could also be the browser option that will only be displayed when you are running BES. I am running BIS and only have "internet browser" listed in my browser options. users on BES have 2 option. internet browser and blackberry browser. Patches correct me of I'm wrong here, but BES doesnt have this issue its only BIS users.Last edited by TheBr0ken; 10-14-09 at 06:02 PM.

- patches152Bannedwe all have the same error, yes...but...that's what they asked for...so...we're doing what they say.
and it's not that they're mis-identifying anything, it works on other carriers, it works on VZW BES users (who btw have the same browser identification AND IP address as BIS users...it's just filtered through an extra set of servers)
so it's something specific to VZW BIS users, and someone else too, i forget. altell or TMO or something...10-17-09 04:01 PMLike 0 - 10-20-09 06:18 AMLike 0
- Guys, I know it was mentioned before, but I just set my browser on my PC to a Canadian proxy and was unable to watch ANY of the videos on the mobile site. It DOES appear that NBC is blocking Canadian IPs from hitting the videos. Take it for what it's worth.10-20-09 07:27 AMLike 0
- If it really is just an out of country IP issue, the idiots running the NBC network just need to put in an IP allow statement with whatever IP range RIM has been given to all their networks. Problem solved.10-20-09 10:44 AMLike 0

I'm just curious why BES users are able to "work around" this. Could it be NBC has already cleared the BES I.P. address RIM has?10-20-09 12:10 PMLike 0 - Civic is there anyway you can determine if the IP address identification for someone on BES differs in country location compared to someone on BIS?

In the programming screen it showed the IP address for the device...
Also not all BES browsers have a different IP from BIS browsers. AgTitan showed that in his youtube vid he posted.
