If you are reading the comments of my two posts that suggest using the tvu player / tvuplayer to watch the worldcup games you notice that some people have initial difficulties with the utility. I collected a list of frequently asked questions. Reading this will solve most of the problems that the users encountered so far.
1. Where can I download the TVU Player / TVUPlayer ?
You can download it from the official website, rapidshare, badango or rapidsharing.
2. What do I do with a .rar file ?
A .rar file is a packed file. You need to unpack it with a packer that supports .rar files. This is for example winrar.
3. What are the requirements for the tvu player ?
Windows 2000 or XP
Broadband Internet connection, such as DSL or cable modem
4. I installed the tvuplayer but I do not see a channel list !
This seems to be a temporary issue. Close the program and start it later again.
5. The streaming stutters / stops, buffers all the time.
Try the (low) bandwidth channels. Please note that you need a broadband connection.
6. tvuPlayer cannot be initialized, please check the network connection
This can have two causes as far as I know. First you need to check your firewalls settings if it blocks the ports that tvu player needs to connect to the channel list and the streaming clients. Second it could be that you are using a proxy server which does not allow connection to the tvuplayer at all.
Quoted from the comments of Worldcup Preparations post. (thanks gornea)
At start TVU Player uses UDP 3950, 3951 and 3952 then at least one of TCP 3950, 3951 or 3952. The TV channels list is obtained from a connection on port TCP 8080. All those connections are made to the server previously mentioned by others. When you choose a TV channel it uses UDP 3940 and then a TCP connection to 3940. Then you just get a rain of connections to other servers using UDP/TCP combinations. In the end it settles to only UDP streaming between peers and an brief TCP reconnection for control and status I guess.
7. Log file
TVUplayer creates a log file which might help you in finding out why something is not working. It is located in the tvuplayer directory. You can check on the ports that the player is using on your system, you see if it was able to show the channel list and more.
My player is working fine and my log file is showing some problems , the following could be normal and temporary. Try closing and starting again.
Failed to update the channel list data in memory
Failed to update the channel list data, when initiating
Failed to update the peer server list data, when initiating
8. Where do I recieve official support for the tvuplayer ?
The official website for TVUplayer is tvunetworks.com and viidoo.com. Viidoo.com has a tvu player support forum.
Unsolved Issues:
Out of sync video and audio

tvuplayer worked very well for me intitially but now i’m getting an error:
“The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on OK to terminate the application.”
I’ve rebooted, reinstalled, googled and changed permissions on some dlls but can’t seem to find a fix. Maybe this is a more general windows issue but I can’t find a fix. Any ideas?
Download the Microsoft .NET Framework (again) and install it.

oh. i figured it out. spyware can pick up TVU Player because of the open remote connection. changing the name of the exe or adding it to a list of allowed programs will fix the issue.
tvuplayer will no longer connect to tvu network – log file says “Peer sc can not be initialized.”
tvu player will no longer connect to tvu network, is that on my end or are other people having this problem now?
I got this message:
CHRect
————————————————
Plater can not be initialized, please check the network connection.
Quit the player?
————————————————
What should I do?
was working fine until today, now i’m also getting the “Peer sc can not be intialized” error. is this everyone?
Likewise, this was working fine this morning for the 1st half of the Arg match. Was just trying to reconnect, but am getting the same “Player cannot be initialized, please check the network connection.”

same here i was watching every game and got to work this morning and goth the same message help!!! i want to see Holland play
Ya, i having the same problem, any solution?
Looks like it’s everyone. I thought my work closed the port (can’t imagine the bandwidth this thing is sucking up), but then I Terminal Serviced into my home PC and it’s not working there either. My guess is their servers can’t handle the insane amount of bandwidth being asked of it. The entirety of PwC Mexico has this thing installed on their desktop to watch the cup …
Me Too
Network issues?
Same problem as Kurt and or

Help some one Plz
i cant connect to the network either. is the network or is it my computer?
Yep, same failed to initialzie as everyone else. I hope they fix it soon! i want to watch the football matches!!
Is there another free program that we can use like the Tvu player??
Looks like it is their problem.
Bummer.
None that I am aware of.
Curses, same problem here. Was working fine the last couple of days, and today I’m getting this:
09:20:03 June 16, 2006 => channel : Failed to connect

http://www.tvants.com, its mostly chinese channels, but it works.. I dont think its nearly as good as TVU Player, but its something.
What channel?
Hi everybody,
I have the same problem,
Peer sc can not be initialized…
Is there something I can do??? I need the World Cup.
I’ve the same problem…
We’re all having the same problem here in Hong Kong, despite the mega bandwidths available here. We’ll just have to wait until they sort the problem out. Oh well, another excuse to go to the pub!
OK ITS TIME TO PANIC!!! I hope its fixed by the start of the Holland game I want to see that game
Same problem in Singapore ……. watch Argentine vs Serbia-Montenegro, suddenly it stop at the 2nd-half …….. now can not connect.
has no one made a mirror of this tvants program. sheesh.
Same problem in Portugal! Server is down, almost certain! When will it be back on-line?? Anyone knows???
Yeah I am getting the exact same thing here in the USA. Worked fine till today. I thought work had blocked me as well, but see they are haing problems.
Yep same problem here in Boston. Worked fine until this morning. Sucks, Argentina had an amazing game apparently. Well, now I can’t procrastinate anymore…
Has anybody contacted them and told them??
Same problem in USA.
i hope it is just for an hour or so…
US still no connection. Hup Holland!!!
They seem to be fixing it, just wait..
yep, seems to be problem with TVU, not our local installs. I guess the popularity of the program got out – and now thousands have it installed :-(
Shhhh – don’t tell anyone else about it!
out of all days…i get to miss a team score 6 goals…….sigh…
Was working fine the whole week until today. Hopefully they can fix it soon. Getting same erros as everyone else here in US (GA)…..
Now, let’s hope that everything got well and here we are watching the Holland match
guys, try d/ling tvants http://www.football4less.com/streams/tvants.html here’s the link… search for ESPN after installing.. hope this helps…
this world cup is turing into a disaster for me every bit of web softeare and proxy tricks I used are failing. aaaah! guess its back to Taiwanese local coverage with 4 ads per game!!
tvants works great with cctv5
Same problem here in Atlanta, GA. Stopped working right at halftime. Thought my office might have shut it down, but it does not work at home either. Must be their issue.
This is a disaster, i’ve been waiting all morning for the Netherlands game and the player disconnected during the second half of the Argentina game. Hopefully they fix this soon, The netherlands game isnt being broadcasted here in Canada…:(
i’m in atlanta too. i didn’t know there were other soccer fans around here…
now even the viidoo.com website is down. if it doesn’t get fixed today, at least all those watching TVU at work can switch to watching games at home or a bar, right?!?!?
cctv5 is the best i can get guys…u can try soccer-live tv if u know foreign language..
Which cctv5 are you doing mine is in chinese i think.
Does anyone know how to contact TVUNetworks ?
I live in Atlanta too so there is no espn 2 on that Tvants program?
i meant, we can watch games at home or a bar this weekend, and we’ll only miss the holland game, and hopefully it’ll be fixed over the weekend.
Same problem here in Italy :(((
Yeah from their website they have some phone numbers.
http://www.tvunetworks.com/contact_us/index.htm
I don’t have spotsnet :(, only TSN.
I already send them an email, waiting for an answer.
cctv-5 is in chinese.. tat’s the best i can find…it ’s this CCTV5阳光世界æ?¯ï¼ˆæŽ¨è??） for ppl who dun understand chinese.. once i find out how to find ESPN2 ch i’ll get to u guys provided tvu’s stil down…
Is there any english commentary????
This is ridiculous, i can’t understand a thing these guys are saying, but i guess it’s better then nothing.
tvants is working great, although it’s not as simple of a program as TVU.
does any know for sure if tvants has ESPN2 ? of course it’s easy to find regular old ESPN, but ESPN@ is a whole different matter…
You can watch using tvants (mute it) and then listen with http://clients.mediaondemand.net/theSun/?Channel=1
The only issue is that the audio commentary is ahead of the video … by about 30 of 40 seconds
actually i’m wrong – it’s more like 2 minutes ahead of the video … so one or the other :)
I think the game’s on ESPN2. Anyone know the TVAnts tracker for that one?
i can´t use tvants. The chennel never loads. I’m using a router, do i need to open some ports?
thanks in advance
It’s baaacckkk in New York!
yeeee
Still down in Boston…
Not in Hong kong
GOALLLLLLLL
the http://viidoo.com/ website is also down, so it is probably related. 2-0 holland
I am in New york and it’s not working
In Seattle and TVU not working.
I was able to get TVants to work, though. You just need to be patient. Oh…there’s Ruud!
TVANTS id down too. guess there’s no way to watch the games on internet.
not working in Iceland
Hi owen. What sever are you using, please click on the servers tab. Thanks
Not working in Portugal… :(
Not working in UK too. :( BBC doesn’t recognise my IP address as UK-based, and I have relied on TVU Player to get my World Cup fix. As far as I know, it’s not working in Malaysia either.
As for those who can’t get TVAnts to stream properly, find a channel which has lower bitrate. It should solve the problem.
Adrian> it shows
http://www.tvants.com
I’m watching CCtv5. quality ~85, 457kbps
not working in Egypt either
still down in Hong Kong
Still down in NY/NJ. Any news when it will come back up?
its not working in mexico
i wonder how many people were seeing the games through the tvunetwork …
I cannot connect to CCTV5 or any channel on TV Ants. I use a proxy server at work. Can someone send me the Advanced Options / Settings for tvant.
CAN SOMEONE who has TVANTS working send out the server they are using and also any other PROXY SERVER settings
Just go on CHANNEL, then ADD and insert this URL: tvants://www.tvants.com/tvants/?k=308b75436d18dc79
The server is http://www.tvants.com. Hope it helps :)
You do have to have a proxy server enabled. I only had to put a check in that box. Go to Tools–>Setttings–>Proxy.
Steve, I did that already . Do I need to do any other TICK marks on the proxy tab. ANd how about the SHARE tab.
Not working in Israel either. Damn ! couldn’t they anticipate such a rush ?
I have a program called Sopcast…although seems it’s also having issues as I haven’t been able to connect today. Maybe others will have better luck.
I heard TVU got attacked today, and that’s why it’s down. There’s also a rumor that they’ve gone to PPV.
I’ve got the same problems here in Humboldt, CA.
No need to modify the sitting , the problem is happening with user from all over the world. We just have to wait and keep trying , if doesn’t get resolved by tomorrow then I think this site go busted and maybe shutdown already which I hope not.
XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource ‘http://www.tvunetworks.com/update/updateinfo.xml’.
There seems to be a problem with this file…
Damn… i thought yesterday:hey this is great the world cup with such definition and in english..i saw all games.. today only the first half of arg..maybe they got shut down by fifa..:S
i am in an office here in New York and one person is in and the rest of us are geting the same “player can no intitalize”… err…
Sean, you mean someone is able to connect to tvu network???i’m watching the chinese crap…not that bad the image, though..
next match can be seen at espn(tvants) mex:ang
Sopcast was down earlier but it’s working again now. There appear to be considerable efforts going on to stop Internet TV World Cup coverage, presumably directed by those who hold the broadcast rights (isn’t Yahoo the ultimate owner of them?). A Spanish site called TVfutbol (I live in Barcelona) giving links for seeing matches was apparently closed down earlier this week. The only thing to do seems to be to have as many TV player programs as possible and switch between them. I saw Holland v Ivory Coast in TVAnts, for example. Now I’m going back to Sopcast for the last match because I think the quality’s a bit better.
Went down at Arg-S+M half time, checked viidoo site and in the shoutbox people talking about a denial of service attack. Then that site went down. tvants is a reasonable alternative, I have not been able to get pplive or ppstream running here in Dubai.
Now how do you get decent commentary… you can try BBC Radio 5 Live, however you need to configure your real player with an open UK proxy with port 80. Here is the link that needs to load in the real player: rtsp://rmlivev8acl.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio5/live/r5_tl_g2.ra
The nice thing about this is that you can match the commentary with the game on CCTV1/5. I have to say its more informed than ESPN2 American commentary who havn’t got a clue.
Keep internet tv alive !
hi in portugal still down
strong move on sopcast. tvants wasn’t working for me, but sopcast sure cast some soap on my world cup watching dirtiness
Yes, I am watching ESPN2 on his TVUplayer right now… Omly wish it was on my PC!! I havent had anyluck with tvants yet, will try the sopcast
yeah i’m in Portugal too..i’ll keep up the fight and i wont pay to see the world cup..it’s outrageous what “someone” seems to be doing to prevent us from seeing the games for free!! thankfully sopcast is still working, but for haw long??..
THANK GOD! TVUPLAYER IS BACK!!!
It’s almost working for me. I don’t get the error message, but it won’t connect to a channel.
It is back in Boston too,
cheers
The only channel I can connect to is CCTV-5
If you click on the channel univision you see a message stating “in service returning in 30 minutes”
not sure if they mean the channel or the whole player..
lots of comments btw, was moderating the whole time and could not do much else ^^
yeah the CCTV-5 is the only one that works on TVUplayer, but I’ll take what I can get at this point!
Sopcast cctv5 is working
Is TVUPLAYER working now? I still cannot connect.
I was able to connect a little while ago, but none of the channels would work. Now, i cannot even connect to the netwrok. AGAIN!!!
match on tvu player cctv-5 and cctv-1 for me
I’ve had to go back to TVAnts because the reception on Sopcast and on the TVU Player was so broken up – almost as bad as the game, in fact. Hope it’s better tomorrow!
watch on ESPN not ESPN 2
SINGAPORE IS WORKING FINE AND WELL TOO
TVU is back up in Israel too. the game is on ESPN (not 2)
I’m in New York… still can’t connect to any channels on TVU. =-/

Thank you! TVU Geek GODS. The world is a better place with you streaming the games to us. :)
Anyway, we probably lost only 9 goals out of 9 today! LOL :)

————————————————
Plater can not be initialized, please check the network connection.
Quit the player?
————————————————

mar_matis@yahoo.com.ph
everything is working fine. Just finished watching Togo get eliminated.
do you have any players like tuv which has british channel like sky bbc or itv?
Hey,
I’ve been using TVU player since the start of the world cup. While i was watching, the player suddenly closed on me. Everytime i try to open it up now it gives me an error message:
TVUplayer.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close
AppName: tvuplayer.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.1 ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 7.0.2600.2180 Offset: 00037740
I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times but still get the same error messages. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
I’m getting exactly the same error as graver.
I had installed it in two different PC’s, for instance.
Any ideas on what could be wrong ??
I checked out the forums in http://www.viidoo.com and other people were having the same problems but Tech support hasn’t replied. Not sure where to go from here
To all world cup fans for whom TVU player is not working, ESPN 360 broadcasts the games and this article reports how to bypass the ISP network that is required to run the program. I live in USA and am watching the Portugal – Mexico match live with great connection

They took espn2 away……is not in my list anymore, I wanted to watch wimbledon :). ESPN is working ok, sometimes I have to use Univision.
Anyone else missing espn2 on their list?
Looks like its all down?????.
Oh not again ,, seems down like the other day!!!
Looks like it is down here in New york. I can connect to the network but not the channels.
SOPCAST is down also. Actually, I cannot even reach their website. Is everyone esle having the same problem?
same here in brazil.. no chanels….
TVU Player channel CCTV-5 is working.
cctv 5 is working…tanx…
If you are connected to CCTV-5, do not disconnect to try ESPN, because it will not connect to either now.
http://espnevent1.espn.com.edgesuite.net/FIFA_June27_SecondRound_cup2.asx
use with windows media player. it’ll get you through this game.
this link is only for the united states..here in brasil just apears a sorry message…
Where did you get that link? Thank you for the link by the way!!!
Not in Canada
Hey, it seems to be tvunetworks.com servers are down, i tryed to open this site… but no way
what happend?
Thanks for that link brendan….awesome!
Cant get a connection here either..(to channels) something in log about not being able to update channel list i hope this is resolved for 2morrow..
A BIG BIG THANK YOU TO BRENDAN!!!! He saved the day!!!
not a problem. i’ll post new ones when i can. basically, it’s just espn360, which is free for a little while longer. if there are any problems friday i’ll post another one. they only seem to work one at a time.
it only works on USA…
there is any idea here in brazil?
I have it working…kind of. When the picture uploads it stretches the width of my monitor but only the height of the small box – ie. looks like a bizarre vrsion of wide-screen tv. If i double click on it, it fills the entire screnn and is clear and i can see it, however i really want to watch it in the small box as i need to at least pretend that i’m working while i’m watching football! Thanks for any suggestions.
I thought you had to pay for ESPN360!!! If it is not too much trouble, could I ask you to tell me how you get the links. Please forgive me, I would hate for you to think you gave me a finger and I am trying to take the whole arm.
ONLY IF IT IS FREE!!
Otherwise, if you can post the links for Friday’s matches, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you gain!!!!
espn360 only works for certain isp’s. until july 19 it’s free for anyone. because live events are broadcast using windows media player, you can right click and check the properties of the video. that’s where i got the link. i’ve found it works much better to use the link rather than the 360 application.
it’ll probably be more reliable for world cup games (for people in the u.s.) than tvu. they just started the free trial this week.
the other problem with it is that the link changes with each game, so you have to go to the application each time.
sorry that i don’t have another workaround for people outside of the u.s. i didn’t know if it would work internationally or not.
well, the channel lists’ back, tvu player can be very unstable at times..
Any luck anyone with todays games?
http://espnevent1.espn.com.edgesuite.net/FIFA_June30_Quarters_cup1.asx
Enjoy!
THANKS!!!!!
I get the ESPN Logo and that it will start at 10:55…. doesn’t it work anywhere even if you’re not in the ISP list?
sorry finger error!!
DOES IT work even if you’re not on the ISP list?
I get the logo now but will it keep working during the game?
It’s working pretty good.
Thanks again.
If you don’t mind you can send the link for the other match!!! :)
Ed. Thanks you very much!
BIG BIG THANK YOU TO ED!!! He saved the day.
Could some body post the link for game 2?
TVU PLayer is working for now, but you never know!!!
http://espnevent1.espn.com.edgesuite.net/FIFA_June30_Quarters_cup2.asx
For Italy/Ukraine
THANKS
im a newbie in using the TVU player, i cannt figure out how to add channel. Can someone briefly teach me how? please. thenk alot.
sopcast has more channels and is stable, and tvu is son of sopcast? why the icon is the same. sopcast is at http://www.sopcast.com
Yes, sopcast is better, I watch every world cup match on it. very good. normally, there are 100k online users.
I am ver frustrated right about now! I just got TVU yesterday, and caught the Italinas beating down on the Germans in Dortmund!! Today I am hoping to get France and Portugal but TVU will not initialize. The sopcast site is not working, pplive cannot download…. i will try tvants and see…
What a bummer. is any one having problems with tvu as of the 5th of july
Same problem here, was working yesterday, went down about an about an hour ago and still not working…
Hi!! I’m in Argentina, it seems that their servers are down, Does anybody know anything? Tvuplayer can not connect to tvunetworks. I tried to see their site (http://www.tvunetworks.com/) and it seems to be down. Pleae help me!! I must see France vs Portugal.
Ed, Brendan or soemone else, can you provide us with the ESPN LINK for today please?
thanks
No problem. Here you go:
http://espnevent1.espn.com.edgesuite.net/070506_portfrance.asx
It only has the standby screen until the game starts, so just hang on for a little while and it’ll come on.
TVU appears to be back up!!
Thanks!!!!
Now we can watch it (without trouble hopefully)!!
Hi Im from Mexico, TVU Player its down again :(
But u can use the TV Ants and select ESPN hunrry the game will start soon.
(To download click button next Windows Media Player Icon, when u select some channel it shows u some links just click someone and ….thats all i think)
It’s back up in Canada just in time for France/Portugal

My TVU Player has a bad signal and keeps on freezing, but a week ago the signal was good and the channel didn’t freeze that much. Please tell me whats the problem
Hi I downloaded the program, I get the stations on the left hand side of the player but none play. Do I need to do something to activate the player? thanks
The TVU player seems to have problems from time to time caused by not enough people viewing a certain channel. It could also cause problems if your bandwidth is not that high to display the contents and the audio.
Mario you do not have to register the player, just click a channel and wait until it connects. This takes usually some seconds and a few minutes to pick up enough IPs that stream the content.
I wrote an updated version of the tvu player faq –> http://www.ghacks.net/2006/08/21/tvu-player-faq-updated/
A user of the TVU forum is reporting that he had no channel list because of missing files. He downloaded the missing files from a different source and added them to his tvu player directory and was able to see the channel list afterwards.

mario,
I had the same problem and I had to use the older version 1.5.12. The older version says it’s connecting and buffering, then it plays.

Could someone tell me why yesterday I was seeing FOX on tvu player and today it does not even come up on the channel list??

My TVU Player opens fine and has a channel listing and says “Ready” in the info box below the screen. Problem is, when I click on any of the channels listed nothing happens, the info box just says “Ready” and no channels come on. Any advise?
Thanks!

i don’t know much about this player, but it sounds like you need to install VLC Media Player or your firewall is stopping it!
my tvu was working but now when i click on a channel it say connecting and then says “closed” – am i a computer retard or is there actually something wrong- i just want to watch my morning cartoons!
Have you tried looking at the homepage viidoo.com and seeing if it works through that?
I had the old tvuplayer and just got the new one but I still get the same problem.

what channel is it to watch a live wwe paper view event on TVU
Same here? What channel, if it’s even on TVU
In Japan, I cannot access TVU at all now. It used to load up ok, but I made the silly mistake of installing the update. BIG MISTAKE. Nothing worked so I unistalled it and reinstalled the old version (still available to download at their site).
Now, when i load up TVU, the message from themasking me to upload appears,then the programme screen and then it suddenly vanishes plus the toolbar icon also disappears!
Seems like TVU is dead now. Scifi and Comedy Central havent ever loaded up in a very, very long time. Ho hum…
Whenever i try to play a station i get no video i only get audio. Any body help!!!!!!!!!
