Help Streaming ADMC Sports....

Hola working fine for me on JSC. Using the google extension. If you are using this you must make sure you click on the fire icon top right and choose the Egypt server

I watched southampton v w ham. All ok except for last five minutes when couldn't get back on either smartdns or hola. Not sure what the hell is going on. Just tried connecting (10.30pm) on smartdns and everything fine again.
opsmonkey - not sure if you're aware but apparently you risk having your account suspended using hola (not sure why though).

All the replays can be watched anyhow, you don't even need to sign in, or you didn't. I was watching replays before I even had an NBC account to check the stream quality and didn't have a VPN then, live streaming was different

Yep, didn't realise that! I did need my VPN for live

It seems that nbc now connects via smart dns. You just need to enter the alternative dns server into the appropriate box. It's working for replays so it should work for live

It worked well on that game for me but now it has gone altogether on both Hola and smartDNSl

Well I'm gonna see how southampton match goes at 4 o clock but seriously looking at alternatives to overplay.

mate ive gone for a third party service until this gets sorted there is other dns/vpn providers if overplay cant work out the issue personally i dont trust hola since the start of the season where a post on here said people were getting reported for using it

Bit peed off with problems yesterday. When I eventually realised it was overplay causing the balls up, I tried hola. This worked fine but not sure if overplay had sorted itself out by that stage. I am wondering whether to just cancel smart dns and use hola instead but I noticed this warning from Watch JSC guide -- Please note ***8211; Using Hola unblocker instead of Overplay may get you banned due to the nature of how it works so you should stick with smartDNS.

Anyone got any views on this?

What they keep doing is leaving the issue until after peak footy time on a Saturday and then saying! Hello, can you please confirm that you are now working! Well Sherlock of course it is working as it is now 8pm! LOL

[fitz39]

I am going to email them and as what reassurance they are going to give me that it is going to work next Saturday as they have had problems every week. May be we should all ask the question to put some pressure on them?

Here is the transcript from my chat with support. Not much help or reassurance!!!
32 Your Question: As you are probably aware there was a problem using smart dns with al jazera sports today. Was it a problem with your servers or did al jazera somehow block the use of smart dns.
19:32 Please wait, an operator will be with you shortly.
19:33 You are now chatting with Eric Miller (Support) - General
19:33 Eric Miller: Hello. Welcome to OverPlay.

19:33 Eric Miller: We apologize for any inconvenience that has caused.
19:33 Eric Miller: We are facing some technical issues with Al Jazeera Sport website.
19:33 Eric Miller: It seems Al Jazeera Sport upgraded their website from their end, At present aljazeerasport isn't supported with our SmartDNS service.
19:34 Eric Miller: Our Level 2 team is currently working on this issue, We***8217;re hoping to have it back up and running at the earliest.
19:34 Michael Fitzmaurice: It is working again at the moment
19:35 Eric Miller: Great! We are waiting for a confirmation from our clients.
19:35 Eric Miller: Are you able to access the websites now with our SmartDNS service at the moment?
19:35 Michael Fitzmaurice: Were you aware that it was working again?
19:36 Michael Fitzmaurice: Yes
19:36 Michael Fitzmaurice: Via my ipad I haven't tried my pc
19:37 Eric Miller: Glad, it***8217;s working fine now on your iPad, please try on your PC and see if that working fine for you.
19:38 Michael Fitzmaurice: Just starting pc now
19:41 Michael Fitzmaurice: Bear with me my pc is starting up slower than your Egypt VPN service
19:42 Eric Miller: Sure.
19:45 Michael Fitzmaurice: No it's still showing as geo blocked
19:46 Eric Miller: Could you please login to your OverPlay account, click on "SmartDNS" tab to re-activate the SmartDNS service for your IP address at: http://overplay.net/s
19:48 Eric Miller: Once done, please open a new web browser, clear your web browser cache and cookies then retry accessing the website and see if that works fine for you.
19:51 Michael Fitzmaurice: Yes it's fine now the dns details had gone
19:53 Eric Miller: Glad, it***8217;s working fine now.
19:54 Michael Fitzmaurice: Do you think this is something al jazera had deliberately done on a premier league day or just an update to their servers that somehow temporarily stopped smart dns working?
19:58 Eric Miller: We don't have any exact information regarding what they did from their end, However we can restore the access to the website.
19:59 Michael Fitzmaurice: Ok, we'll thanks for your time I guess we shall have to wait till next Saturday. Bye.

Smart dns is working again with al jaz, but now we won't know till next week if it was just a genuine problem with overplays servers today or something al jaz did to try to stop smart dns working during prem league games!!
