The video won't play - what's wrong?
Videos on EVTV1 are streamed through an Adobe Flash player. For the best viewing experience, we suggest you install the latest version of Adobe Flash after removing any old versions you?ve installed.
Please completely uninstall Flash before reinstalling the latest version.
To uninstall Flash, please follow Adobe's instructions, click here.
Once you're done, restart your computer and follow Adobe?s instructions for reinstalling Flash, click here.
If the instructions above don?t resolve the issue please try the following:
1. Temporarily disable popup blocking software installed on your computer to test.
2. Allow EVTV1.com as a trusted site in your Firewall software.
3. Ensure other applications like Quicktime, iTunes, Real Player, or Windows Media Player aren?t set as the default streaming application, as this might affect the video player.
Why does the video keep stopping and starting while I'm watching it?
If a video doesn't play continuously, it may be due to your connection speed. You'll need a broadband connection with at least 500+Kbps for the best viewing experience.
Another possible reason for choppy video playback is that our servers are experiencing high traffic. If this is the case, there's not much you can do. However, we are continuously adding servers to keep up with demand and improve your experience on our site.
It's also possible that your video download speed is slow or inconsistent. In this case, you can try pausing the video until the entire stream is downloaded and then playing the video. Occasionally, an incomplete copy of a video can get stuck in your cache and never fully download. You can re-attempt the download by clearing your browser's cache.
All videos are stuck on the loading screen.
This could be caused by a number of things. First, you'll need a broadband connection with at least 500+Kbps for the best viewing experience.
If your connection speed meets the minimum requirement but you are still stuck on the loading screen, this could be caused by a firewall or internet blocker. These types of programs could block the media stream from EVTV1.com. If you have a firewall, you might want to temporarily disable it to see if the videos load. If so, you would need to adjust the firewall settings to allow streaming media from EVTV1.com to pass the firewall. If you are not sure on how to do this, please contact the manufacturer of your firewall.
This might also be caused by another streaming application such as Quicktime fighting for the stream. Please check streaming applications installed on your computer like RealPlayer, Quicktime, and Windows Media Player and ensure they are not enabled as the default player.
There is a QuickTime logo over my video player. What did I do?
If you see a QuickTime logo over your video player and are unable to play videos, make sure QuickTime isn't your default Flash player. To correct your QuickTime preferences:
1. Open QuickTime Player.
2. Click "Edit" in the menu bar.
3. Click "Preferences," then click "QuickTime Preferences."
4. Click the "Browser" tab.
5. Click "MIME Settings."
6. In the "MIME Types" box, make sure the "Miscellaneous" option is unchecked.
7. Click "OK," "Apply," and "OK."
8. Restart your computer.
Why do videos that I watch end early (Show end screen early)?

To clear your browser's cache, follow the instructions listed here.
Can I watch EVTV1.com videos with a Dial-Up connection?
Still on a 56k? No problem. As you may already know, a slower connection simply means slower delivery of services. You only need a little more time and patience than with a faster connection.
For best results, you may want to start the video player and then click on the PAUSE button immediately. Then, wait until the red progress bar has reached the end of the video before playing it. Allowing the entire video buffer lets you watch it without interruption. Remember, the shorter the video, the shorter the amount of time it takes to buffer.
Why can't I hear the audio when I'm watching a video?
To make sure that you hear sound while watching videos, please try the following:
- Adjust the volume control on your computer and speakers.
- Adjust the volume control located in the lower right corner of the EVTV1.com Video Player.
Ensure that the volume is up on other video players, such as Quicktime, Real Player, or Windows Media player, as this might affect the video player sound.
If these steps don't correct the issue, you may want to try the steps below.
For Mac users:
1. Open "Applications" > "Utilities" > "Audio MIDI Setup"
