Okay, I know this is a really old parody from Chappelle's Show, but I wanted to see it. The only problem is the site that features the clip gives me a "file not found" error, regardless of if I use IE or Opera. I tried re-installing WMediaplayer 9 over media player classic, but still no dice (none of the other clips play for me either in fact).

Any ideas, or is this skit mirrored elsewhere?

Thanks.

Then ask it in a more appropriate forum.

Uhh, this has nothing to do with Gaming and Computers.

If the mods don't think this is Star Wars related (it was a Star Wars Parody), at least move it to "off topic" (our only generic forum right?).

You are asking for technical help on getting the clip to work, that makes it a computer issue. Welcome to G&C...

Great, that's the second time today the combination of embedded WMV + javascript killed Firefox


What's the fucking point of embedding videos anyway? Most of the time it doesn't even work, regardless of what browser I use.


And I thought Kurgan was asking for help locating a Star Wars spoof clip, not getting it to play...

So people don't download them and steal them?

Although obviously there's ways around that.

Oh I thought this was some big deal, turns out to be a 10 second clip of something I've already see bah I was looking forward to some full frontal nudity at the least .

This was only one possible solution, but apparently the mods feel it must go here, so oh well... I think it would be easier to find an alternate source to to troubleshoot it.

I have pretty much given up getting these clips to play on my computer, I was hoping somebody had a mirror someplace else. I suppose I could go and check to see if Chappelle's Show is for rent on DVD someplace, but honestly I just wanted to see this one skit.

Well, as long as we're here... Any computer wizards willing to help me?

Here's my specs:

Cable modem (comcast)
Windows 2000 Professional
Browsers:
IE 6.whatever (only if I have to) / Opera 8.51 with Sun Java Runtime Environment version 1.5

Windows Media 9 installed from Windows Update

Error message details: File Not Found




You're serious, the clip is only 10 seconds long?! Is it the whole skit?

Yes, it's 22 seconds long and I don't know if it's the whole skit. It goes like this.

Yoda : Get down do you?

[canned laughter]

Jedi : I sure do Yoda...

[canned laughter]

[Jedi sniffs powder, laughs like a little girl]

Yoda : Good blow this is.

[Yoda sniffs some more Jedi sniffs]

[canned laughter]

Yoda : Horny this makes me.

[Yoda and Jedi start touching their nipples fat bastard style]

[canned laughter]

It's not the whole sketch. That little bit isn't even that entire scene.

Sounds like I'm not missing much. Thanks guys!

Here's an idea: maybe the file isn't on the server

That would seem the obvious choice, but people keep telling me they're able to view the files, so something's up!

Just get someone else to download it and transfer it your way?

Okay this shouldn't be TN since it's been exactly 7 days...

No, that won't work because it's a streaming clip, unless people have some way to download streaming windows media clips!

I don't know if the series is out on DVD, but apparently the show was a completely flop or it'd be easier to find a "rip" someplace. If I ever see it for rent I guess I'll try to snag the disc with that skit. ;P Oh well, I don't want it THAT badly... thanks anyway!

Whoa. Did you just suggest that Chappelle's Show was a complete flop?
