“It seems that you’re not located in Ireland. Watch this ad then kindly fuck off.”
Any chance we can ask them to bring it online
I’m guessing this is a joke? Might do more damage to RTE if they get the bloody thing working!
“We have crippled the content servers, wiped the network infrastructure configs, and hit it with the biggest DDOS in history… and still the fucking thing is playing ads”
The problem is they’re using exploits that were developed in the last two decades against it. You can’t fight against something that still uses valves that are controlled by abacas and men with grey beards
The RTÉ iplayer can’t be hacked because it’s powered solely by Ryan Tubridys penis farts.
They probably fucked off because you have to watch 2 full ads every time you open RTE Player.
In Ireland, I had to watch two ads before the player told me I am not in Ireland (guess Donegal didn’t count). Ever since I am back in Germany I watch with no problems.
RTE Player is wild. Gotta respect that.
I actually tried to reverse engineer how the video stream work in order to build a Kodi plugin. It was a massive waste of time…
If the only knew the password for the server is Bigboobz with the Z at the end. I think it was Marty Morrissey that set it
Been living abroad for many years, so I don’t have much experience with the RTE iplayer, but I can say with certainty that the URC player (also provided by RTE) is a fucking abomination
It’s more of a punishment to keep it running
An RTE spokesperson has since commented in response saying “That’s the secret, neither do we”.
This Gave me the laugh I needed this morning. Thank you 😃
My first actual proper laugh in days, thank you. I appreciate it.

BREAKING: Dermot Bannon single-handedly bats away Russian hacking threat on Irish soil
Except for the ads. They run no matter what
Rumour has it, they crippled the servers and it actually sped it up
What is RTE?
This whole post is a sob
Why is the rte player so bad ?? It’s unwatchable. I’d love to catch up on the Tommy tiernan show
They don’t need to DDOS it; it’s unstable enough as it is
That’s all well and good but the infuriating piece of shit has stopped working right in the middle of the rugby.
Because it’s powered by Leprechaun magic, not technology.
