Actually it's not a laptop, but my computer is upstairs and my TV is downstairs -- so that's a long cable. AirPlay works perfectly for everything else I've streamed from my computer. Is there a reason this one won't? We have VERY high speed internet, by the way.

There was an extensive discussion about this some weeks ago, Patash, but yes... You can absolutely airplay it but remember that it can only be streamed from a computer/laptop since the one-time rental of $9.99 doesn't include the ability to stream it on your iPad or iPhone. A yearlong subscription, however, does include the ability to stream it from your apple devices.

OK, that part about not being able to stream to an Ipad or Iphone is news to me. I thought it specifically said you CAN stream to your "mobile device", but didn't see that would only apply to subscribers. Good thing I already planned to do it to my computer. And yes did check that my FlashPlayer is up to date.

From the HD site "how to watch":
On Your Mobile Device
1. Use your mobile web browser to log on to BroadwayHD and find the show you'd like to watch.
2. Either purchase a BroadwayHD subscription OR RENT THE INDIVIDUAL SHOW.
3. Hit play
4. For the best viewing experience, put the player in full screen mode using the control in the lower right.
BroadwayHD is delivered via HTML5 on mobile devices. You do not need Adobe Flash.
Sure sounds to me like you can watch an individually purchased show on a mobile device. NO?

To simplify this, after it streams/airs tonight, it will be available to watch an unlimited amount for one week. Then they are taking it down and polishing it up and then adding it to their permanent catalogue in a couple of months.
For those curious ones, they filmed yesterday's 2 performances (matinee and evening) so the polished edit they will be putting on their permanent catalogue will be combining footage from yesterday's 2 performances as well as tonight's live stream. Tonight's stream will be fully live - any mishaps and all.

Patash - that is news to me. It was being reported differently in the other thread that covers this issue extensively. I would recommend checking their Facebook page where they are answering many of these questions. The fact that we're still unsure here is exactly why I think they're totally botching this expansion...

If anyone is capturing this to MP4, please PM me!
I am still paying to watch tomorrow, but if you can do the above please PM me. =)

Thanks for repeating this. Someone on ATC seems to think you do need flash.

Right now I'm having difficulty with the Broadway HD app using Apple TV that I did not have when it was first installed. I can open the Broadway HD app, but then when I click on "She Loves Me," I get kicked off the Broadway HD app and sent back to my Apple TV menu. All other Apple TV apps work perfectly. Any ideas, anyone? May just tell my CC company to cancel purchases if we're unable to access live stream tonight.

Did anyone else's get stuck on buffering? Hope all the website traffic doesn't mess up the "live" factor
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:00pm
Yes, the buffering is really killing my vibe. I'm getting the "invalid content segment" bug also. A lot.

yes. it says it'll start in 2 minutes!
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:02pm
omg the invalid content segment
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:02pm
Does anyone else keep getting an error message reading "Invalid Content Segment"?
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:03pm
Mine has a shot of the audience and it says "show will begin soon"!
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:03pm
All I'm getting is a big black screen. They've screwed this up royally!
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:04pm
just so i know: if the live stream keeps effing up and i give up on it tonight, i'll be able to watch it for a week?

Yeah why is it doing this ?
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:04pm
Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one having the constant buffering and error messages.
FYI - Apple TV 3 users, I am not using the app and watching it through my browser on my iPad with Airplay. It seems to be working (minus the buffering issues that others seem to be experiencing).
Posted: 6/30/16 at 8:04pm
Lots of buffering and invalid content. Annoying!
