byutv app on Xbox360 ... no longer supported?

#1

Post by russellberrett »

byutv app on my xbox360 is struggling. Connects to live TV featuring conference, but the audio is out of sync and the app eventually times out.

I turned the Xbox360 off and on again (hit tip: IT Crowd) as well as deleted the byutv app from the Xbox360 and re-installed it. Same issue.

Other network video streaming apps on the console (netflix, amazon prime, youtube) work fine. byutv on the Roku device works fine also.

Just curious if the byutv app for the Xbox360 is no longer supported? It worked fine 6 months ago.

Thanks in advance.

My guess would be the server your xbox was trying to use was overloaded. I'm not sure as the Roku uses the same stream.

Same problem this morning, darn!

Byutv app on Xbox360 can't connect to conference here in the family room / kitchen. However, Roku in the media room upstairs connects great! We will have to pause conference while we eat our pancakes and then migrate to the media room later.

- Bump
Same problem. Was working about 6 months ago and when I tried to use it recently, I get an error that says "Error connecting to BYUTV" (or similar message).

Other apps like Netflix work fine but BYUTV for xBox fails to connect. I'm suspecting the issue is on the byutv server side. IP address for server changed or has mapping issues.

Q: Can someone please test this and look into the issue?

I'd really like to use my xBox for BYUTV again.

Thanks.
