I have the exact same problem with my firefox.
Did you allow for third party cookies setting to be on. Maybe your Opera browser have this setting turned off in options.

I'm able to watch videos on NND, but not here. Just has the comments and no sound/video. Using latest Opera and latest Flash.

ok, finally fixed the darn thing. What you have to do is go to status and settings under the norton internet security menu panel. You have to totally disable the privacy control option or else it will block all data from being sent out, even if you have it on the lowest setting.

TL;DR- Turn off the privacy control and bam, it works

Anon dude 2 posts above, I have the misfortune of having norton as well. What exactly did you do to fix the problem?

That is great to hear, Artefact. Congrats on getting the approval from Nico, now Sankaku will be over 9000!!!! I did want to register to Nico but didn't bother cause I can't freaking understand Japanase (well, I'm trying at least) but wow, never expect this to happen at all.....

Anyway, I would so totally donate to SC if I had money (and a credit card/paypal account) so like yeah, you guys totally deserve credit for the effort....

AH HA!

Alright, so my problem was this:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.sendRefererHeader

I always had it set to 1. I used to keep it at 0 but it broke too many sites that I use regularly. 2 is the default.

Opera and Explorer loaded up Sankaku just fine. This explains why...

If it's not working for -all- your browsers though I believe you have, as Artefact mentioned, some kind of program stripping the referer heading

Spent all morning messing with my browsers, to no success. What I finally noticed was my security settings on other applications such as firewall/antivirus. Having thought that this was all browserbased, I now hang my head in shame.

Anyhow, as Artefact said above, its about the refering part, and for instance Norton has that tucked away so that only advanced users actually get to fiddle with it, EVEN if you give sankaku/nico full rights to bypass the firewall. Also check your AV-suite for any browser security modules.

In the end it was a 1 minute fix, if I'd only thought of where to look.

Yes, that's roughly the shape of things. The peak hours vary based on the number of users, so that should be a worst case scenario, and some less popular videos never go into economy mode as they are hosted on less busy servers.

See if I get this straight.

If you watch Nico videos through Sankaku around 19:00-02:00 JST (GMT +9) you will get a poor quality version. Other times you will get the full version?

If you go onto Youtube.com, and look for nico nico douga kumikyoku, there should be a group of three videos, all of that melody.

If you click onto those, you can find a symphonic version, the 'original sounds' version, and a no-vocal karaoke version.

But those are only audio, no video.

It's your choice of software which is doing this - there are no IP restrictions.

You need to disable your overzealous referrer stripping package, whatever it is. It needs the referrer info to identify which domain you've come from, and whether that is an authorised one, otherwise anyone could post links to Nico and they would have no control.

FF and IE never strip referrers by default, you need to disable/add an exception to your plugin/security package. It's probably something along the lines of "prevent HTTP referrer being sent to external domains". Or perhaps make SC and NND trusted sites.

Their performance varied hugely, and when a thousand people try to stream at once problems ensue, we were aware of this. They were always more intended as a mirror rather than a primary resource, so now with the bulk on Nico things should have no trouble.

Yes, you need to disable your silly overzealous referrer stripping package. It needs the referrer info to identify which domain you've come from, and whether that is an authorised one.

Congratulations! So many comments... hopefully someone can reply to this. Is the "original" for video 4(Kumikyoku?) still available somewhere? I'm not sure what is the "original"(audio or the background animated karaoke video), but I'm interested in the video. I've been wanting to keep a copy of it in the best quality possible, but it seems like it's gone from Nico. There might be a better alternative as well. There's also Ryuuseigun and maybe other similar videos, but the original is the one I'm most interested in. Can these videos be bought in any form? Or if not, the audio?
