Same error. I bet there is smoke from the server farm

 

[JPM42]

Same error

Same here, as well.

Same here. I kind of had my doubts about this working well...

 

[wmagnum1]

Nothing. And I freshly updated.

 

[Goodeye]

I get an error as well. Only work around I found was load it up via the iTunes stream (which seems to work flawlessly) then hit the airplay button on the lower right of iTunes to send it to the Apple TV.

Pretty redundant if you ask me, but the only way at the moment it seems to be able to watch it on the Apple TV.

If it starts working via the Apple TV someone please post!

Same here, as well.

Until this is fixed, I'm just AirPlaying it from iTunes. That's working.

 

[zed]

Same here, nothing but a quick error.

It's working now. And looks great for streaming.

No go on apple tv

But it works if you stream it from your computer to apple tv via AirPlay.

It's working now. And looks great for streaming.

Same here. I decided to turn off and on the Apple TV again and it finally worked. I'm also impressed with the streaming quality. Quite good.

 

[midiotlv]

Same here...no Apple TV, but airplay from Mac works.

 

[Goodeye]

Yep stream by itself is working on the Apple TV, Turning off and back on seems to get it to finally work.

 

[LFMNX]

streaming now working on ATV (Colorado)

 

[starkmj]

Same here....

...had to unplug and re-plug in the apple tv but its working now on Apple TV.

Black and White

I suppose broadcast in black and white makes for an easier broadcast in terms of amount of data. I'm sure it's important that this is successful broadcast as a test for the market.

Working now for apple tv, but the connection isn't as solid as iTunes via AirPlay. Strange. Both are wireless. Quality is excellent.

I see "iTunes Live" in my "Internet" menu on my AppleTV but when I select it I just get a black screen. That's all. Nothing to click or select (or even read.) Just a black screen. This is the same on both AppleTV's I have... bedroom and iivingroom. What gives?

(I am, however, able to play it via iTunes on my MacBook Pro, and AirPlay it over. I agree with the comments above, it looks great!)

I wonder why I can't do it all on the AppleTV though... seems odd.

Anyone else experience this issue?

Frozen

Granted had a heck of a time getting to stream from apple TV, then it finally came over, but jittery and lots of freezing. Now totally frozen.

Itunes stream was much better in the beginning, but now it too freezes. Even allowing all bandwidth for one or the other, it still isn't working.
In Chicago on COMCAST broadband.

Looking, working, and sounding great in Ontario. A few hiccups that cleared up quickly.

 

[samcraig]

Broadcast fail. Can't get it on Apple TV. And on iTunes it's barely playing (stopping and starting like nobody's business)

 

[samh004]

Worked straight away for me in Australia, though can’t say the songs are that interesting

 

[Viewhunter]

Just love it when it works and the maximum definition comes through, fantastic! Then the hiccups. Have had to restart it several times.

Finally works

Took about 45 minutes, but the stream finally settled down.
At first, from Apple TV, I got the "Try again later" error.
AirPlay from iTunes on a MacBook Pro worked in fits and starts, with jumpy choppy skipping video.
Finally the stream worked OK from Apple TV at 19:45 PST.

Some observations on aging entertainers:

Certain actors think they can sing.
Certain singers think they can sing jazz.
