AlexanderH Posted July 23, 2010 at 06:53 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 at 06:53 PM I'm trying to watch http://movie.youku.com/realmen/index But it says it is blocked in my region (New York, USA). Are they blocked entirely in the USA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMaKe Posted July 23, 2010 at 09:17 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 at 09:17 PM Not sure how big the regions are, but these clips are blocked next door in Connecticut as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinadoog Posted July 23, 2010 at 11:49 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 at 11:49 PM also blocked here in canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted July 24, 2010 at 12:12 AM Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 at 12:12 AM Blocked in Louisiana as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renzhe Posted July 24, 2010 at 12:32 AM Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 at 12:32 AM Blocked in Germany too. It's probably blocked outside of China, because they were getting into trouble with copyright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted July 24, 2010 at 01:15 AM Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 at 01:15 AM Presumably a licensing issue. However I can get to that page with my Witopia VPN, so their list of IP addresses might not be complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yezze Posted July 24, 2010 at 02:54 AM Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 at 02:54 AM It's probably blocked outside of China, because they were getting into trouble with copyright. I think so, doesn't work in Michigan either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taijidan Posted July 24, 2010 at 06:39 AM Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 at 06:39 AM There is a firefox plugin http://chinachannel.hk/ that let's you access the web as if you were in china. It is supposed to highlight censorship issues, but I found it useful for things like this. The only thing is it's not maintained anymore and hasn't been updated to work with the latest firefox. Anyway depending on how much you want to watch it you could try that with an older firefox version. Also if anyone knows something similar that works with the latest firefox let me know!

aristotle1990 Posted July 24, 2010 at 12:37 PM Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 at 12:37 PM Well, it certainly works in China. Just finished watching 叶问 2: Chinese Guy Kicks Western Ass Again. Good movie. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonglin Posted July 24, 2010 at 06:48 PM Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 at 06:48 PM You might have better luck with, say, PPStream. Even if the youku clips are not blocked, I find that they stream painfully slowly here (Canada). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted July 24, 2010 at 08:11 PM Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 at 08:11 PM I have the same situation here (Louisiana). And it's not just that: if you pause it, it'll stop loading. If you try to move the progress bar (what's that thing called, anyway?) back, what you had already loaded will disappear and you'll have to wait for it to load again. It's taken me 2 or 3 hours to watch 45-minute shows before because of that. And that's when I get lucky and I'm not seeing it at about 2 frames per second.

natra Posted July 24, 2010 at 11:42 PM Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 at 11:42 PM I'm able to acces it through the Witopia server in Hong Kong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
