Okay.. i suspect some people may nto be doing it properly / not installing the program / whatever... heres what i did exactly to get it to work.. try following these steps EXACTLY:
1. If you have media player, or any other video program open.. CLOSE IT.
2. If you already have the software downloaded etc, CLOSE IT.
3. If you dont have any of it yet, disregard the first 2. next. go to
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx and download Windows media player 9 or 10. (you probably dont ahve this (the latest) version). Make it the default player during set up. RESTART your computer after installing.
4. go to
http://www.peercast.org/download.php and download the appropreate version. Even though i have winamp, i downloaded the wondows version.
5. Click on the file you downloaded and install it following the instructions. Install all components. click the option to add a shortcut to the start menu for convenience.
6. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT AFTER THIS!
7. Once you restart, go to the start menu or wherever the program was installed and Start Peercast. you should get a little icon on your system tray, but no actual 'program' (you can open a user interface through the icon if you like)
8. go to
http://yp.peercast.com and in the search type in 'NSTV'. If you cant find it, go here:
http://yp.peercast.org/?find=NSTV
9. click on 'PLAY' with the star next to it. Windows media player should pop up. if anything else pops up, i dont think it will work, as media player is the only program that can play the latest WMV files.
10. Cross your fingers!
