Working on WinXP for me: http://www.ustream.tv/ipadmini Seems to be about ~1 min behind the live blogs...

Thanks for this! The VLC stream wasn't working for me, it was pausing every few seconds.

Is it working for others? 10:10AM PST here, watching the liveblogs update, but the apple video says "available shortly"

Doesn't seem to work on my iPhone 5 on wifi.

I was moderately impressed. Given how many people they were likely serving I'm surprised it held up as well as it did, but I found there was a few drop outs, audio dropping off and so on.

Nice to see Apple back to streaming live though.

So i have chrome on win 8, can i stream? should i even bother to install quicktime? i don't have it yet, but if it will stream, i will download it for sure.

The last stream I had to install QuickTime, though I believe VLC can play it by opening the source URL (check the HTML).

QuickTime? Wow - that's a blast from the past. Are you sure they're not using Real (TM) Player?

I'll double-check my Eudora for that e-Mail, after I fix my PPP which has been flaking out on me ever since my dad got call waiting on the house phome^H^Hne.
