Zattoo: how to fix when broken

Posted 5 Junio 2008 by helen in ,

Stethoscope
This is a serious post for once, so let’s get right down to it. Some of you are ready to do black voodoo on the new player because it just won’t work anymore since you upgraded. Yes, that sucks, and we’re fully aware of how desperate you are.

The big question is: What to do about it? And can we please talk to somebody who actually knows what they’re talking about, instead of getting fed helpless lines by a sweet-talking communications chick who's clearly out of her league? YES, YOU CAN.

Okay, your player doesn’t work. So let’s take it step-by-step:

  1. If you get "Zattoo failed to load due to The type initializer for 'xf1881ae45f713d1f' threw an exception" AND have Windows, please make sure that you have installed the latest updates for your computer's operating system. Ask your computer vendor on how to proceed. Uninstall/remove the Zattoo player. Download and install .NET framework 2.0. Restart your computer. Download a fresh, original copy of the Zattoo player from our website. If this works for you, please let our support know.

    2. If that doesn't solve the problem:

  2. Please send an email to our support team and answer the following questions:

    • Which operating system are you running?
    • Do you know if it's a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system?
    • Which error message do you get?
    • Describe the behavior of the player as accurately as possible

    The more we know, the better we can isolate the problem and find a solution.

  3. Worst case, we can offer you a downgrade to 3.1.1, but it will be a bit of a rough ride to later upgrade again to 3.2.0.

Zattoo – When our best is sometimes just not good enough.

Forcing users to install .NET framework, or not use your product anymore?

well not with me mates, you can forget me gettin that bugger updated to .NET fw... it kills my performance entirely... not worth the trouble... sorry.

On 5 Junio 2008 Andi said:

I was not aware that .NET Framework was REQUIRED to run Zattoo... Is this new in the latest version 3.2.0?
The version 3.1.1 I'm using doesn't definitly require it and is working fine without it!

On 5 Junio 2008 dan said:

I fully agree with Visitor. If zattoo now requires .NET that really sucks.
I'll have to switch to another program.

On 5 Junio 2008 Sly said:

Sad. I had Zatto for a day. Now it's broken. Will have to look for another product.
Good luck.
Out.

On 6 Junio 2008 Nico said:

I kept the .exe file from my first downloading.

it was zattoo 3.0.8.

But now: why can't I run it again ?

When I want to open it, it says that I need to direct download an upgrade from this site .... but then nothing happens, besides zattoo closing immediateley .... so I take (again) 3.2.0 .... and again an error message ....

On 6 Junio 2008 Rincewind said:

Since the support team doesn't seem to want to provide us with a link to the previous (and working) version, here it is:

http://download.zattoo.com/zattoo-3.1.1.11916-i386.deb

(Sorry, only deb, if you're using Windows, stop doing that and switch to Linux)

No thanks, I prefer using an OS which will do what I want, without having to write 50000 commands ligns ^^

Das kann nicht Euer Ernst sein.
3.1.1 lief perfekt...
Micro$oft.NET kommt mir nicht auf meinen Rechner, denn es ist schlecht programmiert, sicherheitstechnisch bedenklich, und ein Performance-Killer sondergleichen.
Bitte korrigiert das, Zattoo verursacht hier den Fehler, es kann nicht sein, dasz ich zur Vermeidung diesen Mist installieren soll.

On 6 Junio 2008 slipknux said:

I keep getting an 1206 Error since I updated. I'm on OSX 10.5.3. Now Zattoo won't work anymore :S

On 6 Junio 2008 helen said:

.NET is actually not an absolute requirement, but we've found it to be a temporary workaround to the "Zattoo failed to load due to The type initializer for 'xf1881ae45f713d1f' threw an exception" error as long as we're looking for a better fix.

Our guys in the US are hard at work on this issue, and you could help us immensely by providing feedback.

The more information you can give us on your computer environment and on the error behavior, the more it helps us to find a solution for this. Please send this information to our support.

The questions are:

* What is the rest of the error message after "the type initializer for 'xf1881ae45f713d1f ' threw an exception", if any?

* Did you have this problem with 3.1.1 (if applicable)?

* Are you running Windows 2000, XP or Vista?

* Do you know if it's a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system?

* If XP or older, what version of Microsoft .NET framework was installed (if any) when seeing the error?

* Does installing .NET 2.0 framework solve the problem?

Thanks very much for your feedback!

PLEASE LET US DOWNGRADE TO 3.1.1

3.2 just doesn't work, and that with .net 3.5 !!

just Post the link to 3.1.1 !!!

Why no downgrade possibility?

People, play nice please. Whining about a free thing is bad style.

On 6 Junio 2008 MurdocNicalls said:

Ich habe immer noch das Problem mit dem Network-Error, also plötzlich komm diese Fehlermeldung und dann kann man abbrechen oder Fehler melden und Zatoo wird beendet. Je nachdem passiert das öfters oder auch nicht. Ansonsten funzt bei mir aber die 3.2.0 Beta ohne Probleme.

Ach ja, manchmal kommt auch keine Fehlermeldung und Zatoo friert ein und man muss das Programm über den Taskmanager beenden.

Gehört ja glaube ich nicht zu diesem Problem aber ich schreibs trotzdem. Falls wichtig, habe:
Vista 64-Bit (Service Pack 1)
Net Framework 3.5
Zattoo 3.1.1 funzt problemlos

On 7 Junio 2008 Shark said:

3.2 crashes in a loop (WinXP 32 bit, .NET 3), got rid of it with System Restore, installed 3.1.1, works again.

I don't understand the reason for 3.2, no new features at all, but not working on a huge number of systems. like someone is sabotaging zattoo.

On 7 Junio 2008 Nicolas said:

For those who struggle with the 3.2.0 version, I would have loved to provide you with a link to the 3.1.1 version on Zshare since I keep all the zattoo installation files in a folder in case things go wrong, and as a personal collection of sorts ;) BUT it is illegal to share a copy of the software since it is property of the Zattoo company.
Sad thing that it went awry after an update, but downgrading remains the solution - so please Zattoo people, add a section on the download page to help the needy craving for telly.

On 7 Junio 2008 italianfan said:

when release zattoo in italy?

On 7 Junio 2008 Visitor said:

For those who are looking for the old version, try it with this one:

http://download.zattoo.com/Zattoo-3.1.1beta.exe

On 7 Junio 2008 Rincewind said:

Uhm, yes, that's a very good reason for you, but not very good for the users. I perfectly understand that Zattoo is free for those who watch TV with it, but I hardly think that nobody is actually paying for it and that you people at Zattoo corp are doing everything for free, or worse, at you own expenses.

Even if we don't personally pay, we are customers, because we are paying through the ads, and in other ways that surely you know best.

The software that you just released is broken. All versions, windows, MacOS and Linux are not working on many machines.

This is not good, beta testers are there to help you with buggy softwares, not regular users with no choice.

If you want the community to help you, release your code, open the platform, and THEN ask for help. Or seek for professional testing and debugging. I already sent you my bug report, but you cannot force me to just stop using the program without giving me a fix just because "you want more feedback". This is the way to lose your face and your business.

On 7 Junio 2008 Visitor said:

Somebody Help here! I just downgraded to 3.1.1 and am still getting the "an Error has occured in Zatto. The Zatto Network is busy. please try again later. would you like to report this Bug? " message.

Since three days now!!! what could this be? all the ports needed are open.

thanks for any input here.

On 7 Junio 2008 Visitor said:

> There's actually one really good reason

Sorry, but this must have been the dumbest response after releasing a completely broken piece of software that I have heard in a long time. BTW, the timing is magnificent: the Euro2008 starts today, here and now...

Sorry guys, no Zattoo for me anymore...

On 7 Junio 2008 Visitor said:

I won't download that .NET Framework! Till this happend I really enjoyed Zattoo, but now it's over! Is this kind of a co-working joint-venture of Microsoft and Zattoo? I'm just asking because today's start of the european football championship!
Sorry, but I won't kill my computer with .NET!

Well, for heaven's sake, get a Mac! And if you get the Windows DIY blues you can even instal it again on a Mac - though why anyone would want that is beyond my comprehension .... and hey, what does Rincewind talk about - I've got a PowerMac G5 as well as a MacBook with Intel - both work perfectly fine with Zattoo - never had a problem apart from band width when going wireless over another's net abroad instead of my own at home ... and if a Mac user should really have a problem - how about using "repair disk permissions" once in a while after installing new versions hm???

On 7 Junio 2008 Rincewind said:

@Visitor Mac user: in a comment to the previous "technical" post there is a Mac user having troubles. Hence my comment.

On 7 Junio 2008 another Visitor said:

auch bei mir - upgrade und aus die maus.
Ich habe volles Verständnis, dass zattoo verbessert werden kann/muss, dass Benutzer dabei helfen sollen - das Programm ist ja frei.
Aber .. ausser der Fehlermeldung geht gar nichts. Weitere Tests also nicht möglich. Zattoo-schauen auch nicht.
==> Installieren, Fehler melden, Programm löschen und Zattoo vergessen.
Nicht wirklich gut, oder ?
Wenn ihr Betatester wollt, müsst ihr ihnen wenigstens ein bisschen Freude lassen. Also ein wenig TV luugen lassen.
Ausserdem wäre es fair, beim Download auf die höchstwahrscheinliche Nutzlosigkeit dieser Version hinzuweisen.

On 7 Junio 2008 StoneCut said:

People, stop whining and spreading FUD about this free program ... .NET is a non-intrusive library which is not "active" when a .NET application is not running. There's no reason *not* to install it unless you're ignorant, against progress and/or running low on RAM. But if you still only have 512 MB in your PC then obviously noone will be able to help you anyway.

On my system I have no issues with the new version at all (Vista). Then again, I always install all OS updates and necessary runtimes needed ...

On 8 Junio 2008 Visitor said:

Calling .NET a "progress" is quite cynical. Ha ha ha.... this is a bummer.

Everyone who ever had to deal with it on Windows XP knows that this is the single biggest piece if crap that has ever been produced my M$soft. It is huge, ill-designed, not well-written, consumes lots of resources, slows the machine down when used, and generates all sorts of conflicts with other Microsoft components.

It's particular bad on Windows XP where it seems to cause ONLY problems.

I hear that on Vista it seems to be little better though and occasionally works, but why in the world would I want to upgrade to Vista i nthe first place. Absolutely NO visible progress compared to Windows XP (unless you call being forced to buy a new machine progress, only to find out that on the new marvel with three times the memory and computing power, everything now runs twice as slow...)

No more .NET for me.

And ... sorry Zattoo ... was it really necessary to experiment with this ON THE DAY of the first game of the EM soccer tournament.

I love the product, but shame on you this time around!

On 8 Junio 2008 Visitor said:

Although I have .NET on my PC, Zattoo is not running. A huge number of error messages and the player doesn´t work any more. I can´t watch TV any more, so why is it not able to downgrade??
I can understand that Zattoo needs error reports, but in the meantime, please let me watch TV with an older version.
How long shall I wait, until there is a new version available?
Of course, development of the software is important, but please test your software with beta testers, not with clueless users.

When Zattoo release italy?
I see on website the language italian and more
why don't is possibile registrer?
Please release!!

On 8 Junio 2008 christoffelchen said:

Also ich hab gestern die neue Version (3.2 glaub ich ist das) runtergeladen und war als "Neukunde" gespannt, weil genau zur EM mein Fernseher nicht mehr funktionierte. Bei mir hat es trotz Fehler funktioniert, heute gehts nicht mehr. Aber nachdem ich den Fehler an den Support gesendet hab, hab ich die ältere Version installiert und bei mir geht es wieder.

On 8 Junio 2008 John said:

Really like Zattoo and appreciate the new 3.2 functions. Fee programs like this are a gift and should be treated with respect. This respect should also be shown to the Zattoo staff who I am sure are doing their best to achieve a quick resolution.

I also hit a problem with 3.2 and e-mailed support with my full details.

In the meantime as luckily I had kept a copy of 3.1 as backup - I am using that and all is fine.

I would be delighted to act as a guinea pig if required to help resolve the 3.2 / Net issues or whatever.

May I humbly suggest that it is now standard practice to test Beta on the live audience. Those who download it should realise the risks involved, so at the very least should keep a back-up of the previous version.

However it would probably be sensible for Zattoo to keep the latest stable version available in case of problems like this. If a Beta blows up, then at least the user base are kept happy.

Best regards and best of luck for a speedy recovery.

Hab auch schön auf die EM Zattoo upgedated (weil ja die alte Version sofort einen Link auf die Homepage losschickte!) und traraaa: Fehler wegen JIT Debugging. Funktioniert nix. Hab WinXP und NET 2.0. Laufen würds von der Performance her super, aber debugging blockiert alles! Kann mir da jemand weiterhelfen?

On 8 Junio 2008 slipknux said:

I'm having troubles on Mac since last update and i repair permissions at least once a month. It's not only about OS, it's about the application. Something is wrong and we should all thank Zattoo that we do not pay for their software. I bet that not much people posted a comment on this blog when everything was going smoothly fine. So please, be kind and polite and don't complain too much. I'm sure they're doing everything they can to fix it.

On 9 Junio 2008 helen said:

It's understandable that all those of you for whom the new version doesn't work are upset and wondering why we needed to roll it out shortly before the EURO. The problem is that the old version wouldn't have been able to support the much bigger viewing numbers during the games. 3.2.0, however, makes the huge number of people who were watching soccer on Zattoo over the weekend possible.

And, contrary to what some of you wrote, we did test the version with our more adventurous users before rolling it out to everybody. It was available for a couple of weeks as a tech preview. There are always bugs that will not be noticed in this early testing stage.

Finally, and this is important to understand, to judge from the viewing numbers and support requests, version 3.2.0 works for the large majority of users. By far most of our users have a positive and very stable experience with Zattoo, and we're doing everything possible to also make it that way for those among you for whom it doesn't work yet.

So please continue to send us your descriptions of the errors and the environment in which they happened. The more we know, the faster we can find a fix.

The .Net Framework does in no way hit the performance of your PC. It is just installed and awaits to be used if requested by a programm. No need to worry about that. New operating systems have that build in.

On 9 Junio 2008 Visitor said:

The worry is, that I am running Zattoo on Asus EEE-PC and .NET uses approximately 230MB of disk space . . .

I'm running WinXP SP2 and got the error message after installing 3.2.0. With 3.1.1 I've never had any problems.

On 9 Junio 2008 Antonis said:

I have been successfully using zattoo 3.2 tech review on this network (university network, outgoing ports are blocked except for port 80, 8080, 443 and some others. all incoming ports are blocked and we are behind NAT) for 3 weeks now with no problems at all

a week ago i couldnt log in at all. so i bought a VPN account on a remote server with no port restrictions and managed to connect through that.

two days ago i could login without the VPN but can only watch BBC1 or BBC2. ITV1+C4+Five bring up the "network busy error".

today i still get network busy on all channels, but when i keep trying i can sometimes watch bbc1/2. (no vpn)

when i connect through vpn i can watch all channels no problem.

did you change something in the way the client connects to the service? why do some channels work and some not.

a week ago i could watch everything no problem (nothing was changed on my network since then)

On 9 Junio 2008 dan said:

hallo zusammen

zuerst mal war ich auch frustriert, ein update und danach geht nichts mehr...

nicht zufrieden stellend ist die art und weise wie zattoo mit dem problem umgeht, es ist ein gratis programm, dennoch sollte aktiver kommuniziert werden um einen supergau zu verhindern.
war das der richtige zeitpunkt (start euro08) ein grosses update durchzuführen das bei den meisten usern probleme verursacht?

nun was gutes zum schluss, ich habe wie auf der webseite vorgeschlagen das .NET framework 2.0 installiert und nun läuft zattoo auch wieder einwandfrei.
bis jetzt habe ich keine preformance einbussen feststellen können.

Unter Vista Ultimate 32-Bit friert die gesamte Grafik ein und ich kann den Rechner nur noch ausschalten. Unter XP auf demselben Rechner läuft alles normal. NET-Framework 1.1, 2.0, 3.5 sowie alle Updates installiert.

I sent already a message with my problems, but `til now got no reply.
The previous version worked fine.

Zatto is not working and shows me only the starting.... screen and nothing else.

If somebody has some ideas whats going wrong, let me know.
I really would like to see EM matches and still be able to work in the meantime.

Problems start with the new upgrading: I'm using a mac intel and I'm unable to watch Zattoo. It says that Zattoo failed to contact with the server (Code: -1206).

Please, could someone help?

Please write to our support about your issues with Zattoo - they can best help you with your specific problem.

@Birgit

I have the same problem, and I guess many others do.

But don't wait for a response from Zattoo. They just says that they will respond but be assured that it will NOT happen.

Zattoo seems to simply put messages from the viewer base into /dev/null.

On 10 Junio 2008 tonic said:

@ Visitor :
It's absolutly not true. It takes some time but the support will answer. I had no problems at all with the support. They answered me within 2 days and afterwards just within hours. Maybe they are a little bit slow at the moment because of all the people sending their messages.

On 11 Junio 2008 Birgit said:

Yes you are right and additonally there is now a new version that works properly.

Thanks very much for the fast solving of the problem!!!

Now I can enjoy The European Championship!!!!!

Thanks a million!!!

On 11 Junio 2008 helen said:

It's always nice to read from happy customers ;-). Thanks, Birgit!

There is indeed now a service release out - 3.2.1. It addresses the two top causes of the Windows player crash as well as the top cause of the Linux player crash. To get it, reboot your computer, then download the newest version and install.

A huge thank-you to all you users out there who supplied our support team with the necessary information! And a very big thanks to the dev team who worked even longer hours than usual to find a fix as fast as possible.

@helen,

I have been sending messages to support, for more than a week, but the "network busy" message keeps on comming . in my case, I don't think its the player, or .net problem. but with the way some of us access your network. as I write this, I am streaming CH-turkey game directly from the TSR website, so there is no problem with my connection. Also these problems arrised before the whole football bonanza started. Oh yeah, the error code is 1105.

Hallo,

ich schaue gerade das Spiel Österreich - Deutschland.

Die Qualität auf Zattoo ist zur Zeit wirklich nicht zum Aushalten, leider..... Ständige Aussetzer, vor allem aber stockt das Bild immer wieder völlig und bleibt sehr pixelig für eine Weile, bevor es weitergeht.

Was mich wundert: der Livestream von der WEBSEITE der Fernsehstation funktioniert. ABSOLUT keine Aussetzer, wirklich problemlos.

Das ist doch irgendwie sehr peinlich für Zattoo, findet Ihr nicht ??

Also liebe Zattoo'ler:

Jetzt gibt es wirklich keine Ausrede mehr, denn: gleicher Computer, gleich schnelle Leitung, das gleiche Internet, gleiche Zeit, gleiche Sendung, etc. einfach alles gleich, UND ein Stream funkt, der andere nicht oder nur sehr schlecht.

Sagt mir bitte nicht: wir können die Qualität des Internets nicht garantieren, vieleicht ist die letzte Meile nicht schnell genug, etc etc etc. All das gilt jetzt nicht mehr!

Echt sch....

Ich bin nur gespannt wie man das dem ARD erklären will.

On 19 Junio 2008 Eisbär said:

Und wo kann ich nun einen Link zu 3.1.1. finden ich hab auch schon per Mail euer Support Team angeschrieben aber es hat sich noch nix getan. Wie lange in etwa dauert es denn bis es zu einer Reaktion kommt? Habt ihr viel zu tun? Nur mal so gefragt damit man sich drauf einrichten kann.

@Tok: ich hab den leider nicht, unser Support Team ist Herrscher über Solches. Eine Antwort sollte eigentlich recht fix kommen, aber sie sind natürlich nicht 24/7 dran und es kommt auf die Warteschlange an. Mehr kann ich dir leider nicht sagen, weil der Support nicht vom Büro aus arbeitet und ich so nicht direkt fragen kann.

Waere es nicht toll wenn man die 2 Sec buffer etwas verlaengern koennte, vielleicht auch vom user konfigurieren lassen koennte ? Dann waeren die ganzen Skips warscheidlich eine Sache der Vergangenheit... Jedenfalls verhilft beim Windows Mediaplayer ein buffer von 60 sec bei jedem live stream zu sauberen Bild/Ton.

I only discovered the seemingly wonderful world of zattoo yesterday, when I looked at the list of available channels I was thrilled.

Shame then that I've tried five times to download it, nboth the new beta version and the previous one which I found on a link above.

After downloading when I try to start the program I just get a grey letterbox on my desktop informing me that zattoo2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Anybody help? I've already e-mailed zattoo but as of yet have received no reply ;-(.

thanks

Ich habe Zattoo 3.1.1 auf einem EeePC mit Xandros installiert, da Version 3.2.2 auf dem EePC überhaupt nicht laufen soll. Leider bekomme ich beim Login nach Eingabe von E-Mail und Passwort immer die Fehlermeldung " xy.de' could not be found. Please check the name and try again. " wobei statt xy.de die Domain meiner E-Mail-Adresse angezeigt wird. Was kann ich tun?

@Gompf: gemäss unserem Dev Team ist es nicht eine Sache des Buffering. Das Team arbeitet jedenfalls ständig an der Verbesserung der Qualität; das ist eine der Top-Prioritäten.

Hallo
auch ich habe mir für mac osx die neue beta runtergeladen und kann mich weder einloggen oder sonst was (Fehler: -1206). Dies scheint ein weit verbreiteter Fehler zu sein welcher so ziemlich viele User nervt. Gibts da bereits eine Lösung dazu?

Danke und Gruss

I havent been able to get access to any programmes for a few days now... either constantly loops the buffering or just simply says " ... busy ..."

I cant get a decent tv reception on my normal tv and now Zattoo is being more frustrating by occassionally giving me a snippet of a programme. Id pay for this if I could get a more reliable access.
