Please use this topic to post feedback on your experience watching The Incredible Hulk: Final Round.

Don't know what I'm talking about? Click here!

Some known issues:
- Full screen is, at this time, unsupported. It'll be available in a future build of the Overcast player.
- Also, Hulu is not available outside of the U.S. at this time. We're sorry about this.
- You MIGHT get a "cannot stream this video" on the first try. LET US KNOW IF YOU DO. Generally, refreshing once or twice will clear this. We haven't seen this issue in several days, but if it appears again, please notify us.
- If you get a blank white video box, it's because you have the player opened in another window. One at a time, please.
- Sometimes skipping around will make you lose the riff. Clicking the timeline again will usually fix this.
-This is the only way to view this now.  An MP3 may be forthcoming, but we want to see how this method works for people, so please check it out.  If it proves popular, we'll hopefully be able to arrange for more movies to be on Hulu for longer time periods and we'll be able to use this as another option.

You can also send feedback to hulk@rifftrax.com.

Enjoy the show!

I Like It!! :o

Any chance this might be available (with the RiffTrax on it) on DVD to purchase, or at least the .mp3 to synch it??

EDIT: After rereading, it looks like there will be a .mp3 :clap:

Any ETA? ;D

Could only watch 15 minutes or so during lunch, but what I have seen so far.....

1.    The Rifftrax stays synced (even in milk).    Never had a drifting issue...... but I did not try pausing and restarting it though either.
2.    Interesting way of meeting the desire of fans to have content and riffs synced and not have to do the reauthoring or syncing up of the ipod to the movie.
3.    Like RVR II was implying, there are folks who would much prefer to watch this type of content on their large TVs, sitting in their favorite chair, than watching on a laptop.    Personally, I would be much more inclined to watch (and thus buy) if there was an option I could download and burn to DVD.

Please keep up the good work.

Yeah, I've got some feedback:

How about making it available to people not from the US? :)

We know.  It's not our decision.  It's not an option with the way Hulu works now.

Issue: I paused the video for about 5 minutes and played it again. Riff audio didn't play for a few minutes until it got to the next chapter then it kicked back in.

EDIT: Happened again, but i clicked about 30 seconds back and it kicked back in pretty quickly.

If we can keep this thread free of off topic stuff, it will make it easier to help people out.

IE gave me script warnings and the video never loaded.  Not sure why.  Got a smoking fast computer and a smoking fast internet connection.  I mean "smoking" in the good way by the way.

Love the idea, though.  Hope it all works out for everyone.

The problem is that the JS files from Overcast are down, so it can't create the player object.

Edit: And just as I posted this, it's back.

Overcast is having issues, they decided to make a change on their server which affected the files we were referencing.

I'm working on getting them posted on our server. Hang tight.


UPDATE 11:48am: Amazon now appears to be where things are breaking. We're still working on this. Thanks for your patience!

While watching at work, perfect syncing and no choppiness.    The work connection is a really fast connection.

Like JC mentioned, if you pause it for a few minutes, it takes until the next chapter to sync back up.

I also tried, instead of pausing, moving the slider bar back a few minutes...... it kept the sync.

I moved it forward, then back right away and caused the browser to crash (IE version 7).

UPDATE: We appear to be back! Sorry for all the issues, folks. It was a perfect storm of issues from Overcast as well as Amazon.

All seems to be in working order now. Enjoy!

Mea Culpa! The downtime was my fault. I did the digital equivalent of tripping over the server's power cord. Good timing, no? Hopefully things are up and running now and I won't pat my head and rub my tummy while running with scissors near the server.
