When I push play nothing happens but a black screen.
When i push on the YouTube link source i get this message, "
We're processing this video. Check back later.
Sorry about that."
Another note is the timing says, zero on the length of the video and what is played.
I never had this happen before.
I just thought I should tell you about it, but I am sure you guys are on it already.

“PATIENCE YOU MUST HAVE my young padawan, for the video is still processing"

June 4, 2015 | 03:21 PM - Posted by Cataclysm_ZA

The funny thing is, with all of Youtube's resources dedicated to video processing, you'd think they'd be able to do it within minutes, but nooooooo.

I think the opposite, actually. Considering all of the people uploading video to youtube, it's surprising that they can keep up with all of the transcoding necessary, let alone the storage and the bandwidth.

The video will be available shortly, YouTube is still processing the upload. It is also a longer than usual podcast so it will take a bit longer than usual.

Allyn, when you made the storage space out of the intel SSD's, did you manually assign the number of columns via powershell?
I'm using a striped storage space aswell, and every time I made a striped space via the GUI in the config screen it did not assign as many columns as I had disks.
The amount of columns basically says how many disks storage spaces can write to in paralel, so for best performance you'll have to manually set the amount of columns to the amount of disks you have.

Not sure if it would've made a difference in the end as storage spaces might also bottleneck them in another way, however that's what occurred to me.

Also, why didn't you plug the graphics card into the 4x "southbridge" slot instead of the 5th SSD?

"This orange mess is the 295x2, as you would come to expect". Quite the statement there..So apparently because the 295x2 doesn't have good frame times in gta 5 you'd expect it to be the same in other games?

This is more a reference to the kind of experience that is often seen on dual-GPU graphics cards, whether it be AMD or NVIDIA, that nearly never see on single GPU cards.

So uhm, Ryan did you guys not get the Carrizo slides from Tech Day?

Mobile FreeSync is a thing as well.

http://scr3.golem.de/screenshots/1506/Freesync-Notebook-Nixeus/2015-06-0...

Also Nixues will soon release their 24" 30-144Hz TN FreeSync Monitor

They are also experimenting with Adaptive/FreeSync over HDMI

Sure, Ryan. A Freudian slip. I get that this site is trying its best to rid itself of the Nvidia's bias, but that whole frametime fiasco a few years back was highly suspicious. That whole FCAT push was clearly a product of Nvidia's marketing.

I think this episode is so far missing from the RSS feed.

Now THAT was a big-ass podcast gentlemen. Well done. Enjoyed.

Anyone in the forums answer the question posed "If never played fallout 3 what are the best mods for graphic lovers to get and best instructions".

I started to look and there are SO MANY texture mods - bewildering.....

Statement from show: NVIDIA Sheild will only support OTA Silicon Dust tuners - not cablecard.

Is this true? Makes no sense.... the cablecard/device is sending the channel list. It is the same software for OTA or for cablecard in Kodi.

Funny, $200 for a TRUE 4k streamer, Cablecard (I think) support for live TV, and a great game streamer, and PLEX!

Seemed cheap to me vs HTPC (which you can't even build since 4k won't work due to netflix etc DRM worries)
