9Now

I get no picture just 9 dots loading up.

Why isnā€™t there an option to change the video quality on the app? Other than that itā€™s been great!

hurry up and get on Chromecast!!!

Is that link supposed to work without log in?

I have no idea. Itā€™s just what I captured. The playing it in Edge tick doesnā€™t work.

OK - also couldnā€™t get it to work.

Try this Melbourne stream:

That works and can be played in VLC:

Hereā€™s Sydney (verified working): https://9nowlivehls-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/226554/ch9sydprd/master.m3u8

The maximum resolution is 1280x720:
Hereā€™s the direct 720p link if you want constant quality https://9nowlivehls-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/226554/ch9sydprd/master5000.m3u8 and Melbourne: https://9nowlivehls-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/226644/ch9melprd/master5000.m3u8

So are all cities now streaming or just Sydney & Melbourne?

Tried to verify my account after signing up, says site is undergoing maintenance.

Good start.

Itā€™s my9 (which you have to sign up for to access 9Now) thatā€™s currently going under maintenance. Existing users can still log in fine as far as I know.

I think Nine is so smart as to geo-restrict the streams to Australia only. I mean I tried the links, even in VLC, didnā€™t work.


According to the website, all the major capital cities should be available. However people in Tasmania gets Victoriaā€™s feed while ACT users get the NSW stream

The stream looks great, my only gripe is the framerate seems to be a bit lower than broadcast. But thatā€™s not a deal-breaker.

Not surprising considering WIN is the local broadcaster in those areas. Northern Territory viewers are getting Victoriaā€™s feed.

The lower frame-rate is particularly apparent during sporting telecasts. Have been watching 7Live Perth on a Roku and while the picture during the tennis is crisper, the tennis balls donā€™t exactly appear to flow naturally. This problem should be rectified as technology improves.

For some reason I can only watch nine at the moment will not let me watch any of the other channels!

Thatā€™s because the multichannels arenā€™t even streaming yet!

How can you change the stream to the other markets. Iā€™m in Sydney and on the iOS app I canā€™t see where you can flick the stream.

Thereā€™s been members of this forum who have commented/shown that Sevenā€™s streams are in ā€˜HDā€™ so I donā€™t understand this line of criticism. Iā€™ve viewed the 9Now & Plus7 streams and both look very good for a live stream
