cannot stream movies from www.cinecast.us

Asked by tonni yiddos

I used to stream movies from www.cinecast.us on my laptop. Now, I cannot get it to play movies. The web site shows the movieplayer screen but when I press play, it does not stream. Please help, this web site keeps me awake at night at work! Why can't I get it to play as before. I suspect it started with the upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10.

Indeed, it is an issue with the site itself. But I found a workaround:

Go to www.cinecast.us as usual.

Choose the movie you want to see and click on the picture of that movie.

Then, instead of clicking on the play button, click on the "download" button in the top right corner where it shows

 "format: flash | Download"

Then, in the newly opened screen, you can click on the Play symbol and it will play.

Can you help with this problem?
