Anyone else seeing the TV Truck schedule instead of the keynote right now?



Ok, got video, but am getting the Chinese Translator speaking over Tim Cook. I can barely hear him.


Getting audio of the Chinese Translator over Tim, but no video. "Watching" via Apple TV...


Yeah, same here :( Could be something to do with CDN routing.


10:07 and still black bars. Idiots.

Edit- Getting it now, but I'm hearing a translator talking under Cook. Get it together.

Edit2 - stream keeps cutting out. Disaster.

Edit3 - Access Denied. And we're done.


Yea maybe they shouldn't overly promote a stream (homepage redirect? WTF) if they can't scale it at all


Laughing out loud here because this was exactly my internal dialog as I tried to tune in. You nailed it -- Apple definitely did not.


Pretty embarrassing for the largest tech company in the world...


Someone will get fired over this.


Yes. And then there was 1 minute of the keynote shown with perhaps Chinese dubbing. Tim Cook has never sounded that feminine before.


I was. I refreshed and it got me the keynote, but with the audio for multiple languages at once (maybe the same root cause as the multiple songs on the TV truck screen), so I refreshed again. Now I'm back to the TV Truck schedule.


This must be part of apple's asia strategy ;)


same here.


My guess is they underestimated the number of viewers and didn't have enough bandwidth prepared.


Yeah, this is only the like second or third of these they've ever done, right? /sarcasm


Yeah, someone is about to be in trouble

Edit: Now getting "Access Denied" on http://www.apple.com/live


yes. wow, they fucked it up!


The Twitter feed at the bottom says "It's showtime" but I'm just seeing the color bars and truck schedule, too.


press pause and then live


Now I hear live translation along side the speaker. Awesome.


You don't have permission to access "http://www.apple.com/live/2014-sept-event/" on this server.


That, then video in multiple languages, then nothing, now:

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.apple.com/live/2014-sept-event/" on this server. Reference #18.1e111cb8.1410283041.b76d50


Switched to a crappy pre-recorded ad briefly, now back to the bars :(


I am. Music is still playing in the background.


Yes, No idea why.


Yes. :/
