Super Moon and Meteors...
« on: December 16, 2016, 07:33:44 PM »
This week we had a Super Moon and the Geminid meteor shower....  That's kind of a good news/bad news thing.  Full moons tend to make meteors hard to see.  I did catch a few and put together this video.



Thought I'd Share,

Hi Greg. I get a message saying "Sorry there is an issue with playback" when I try to view it. Not sure if it's a problem with this pc though.

Wow...  That's just a straight up Vimeo file.  It should play on anything.  Maybe a reset on your browser....  Let me know if the problem continues.

Well, I found that my Adobe Flash Player was outdated and caught it up to date but that didn't help. I went directly to Vimeo.com and tried to view their videos with the same result / "sorry .." message. Tried viewing using my tablet and get the same results. I'm guessing it's the Internet. Strange that YouTube works fine though. :-|

on my desktop, still using WinXP and Firefox which just updated yesterday. The tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android 3.1.

I just remembered that I have a video loaded on Vimeo.com and when I logged in to them I could view it no problems. hmmmm

Sorry about stealing your thread btw. Really would like to see your video too.

Finally got to see your video Greg, well done! Flashed my tablet with the latest firmware available for it and that did it. ;)
