9Now

I get no picture just 9 dots loading up.

Why isn’t there an option to change the video quality on the app? Other than that it’s been great!

hurry up and get on Chromecast!!!

Is that link supposed to work without log in?

I have no idea. It’s just what I captured. The playing it in Edge tick doesn’t work.

OK - also couldn’t get it to work.

Try this Melbourne stream:

That works and can be played in VLC:

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

The maximum resolution is 1280x720:
Here’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.

It’s my9 (which you have to sign up for to access 9Now) that’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, didn’t work.


According to the website, all the major capital cities should be available. However people in Tasmania gets Victoria’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 that’s not a deal-breaker.

Not surprising considering WIN is the local broadcaster in those areas. Northern Territory viewers are getting Victoria’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 don’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!

That’s because the multichannels aren’t even streaming yet!

How can you change the stream to the other markets. I’m in Sydney and on the iOS app I can’t see where you can flick the stream.

There’s been members of this forum who have commented/shown that Seven’s streams are in ā€˜HD’ so I don’t understand this line of criticism. I’ve viewed the 9Now & Plus7 streams and both look very good for a live stream
