Comments on: Now Available Outside USA

It is in fact *NOT* available outside the USA. When I try “Download on iTunes” iTunes informs me that “the item you requested is not currently available in the Dutch Store” and when I try “watch it right now” I get “We’re sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed in the United States”, followed by two links, neither of which works.

Very disappointing. From somebody like Joss Whedon I would expect a more cosmopolitan and more technologically savvy outlook, instead of this annoying habit of thinking the world ends at the borders of the US and continuing to support the regional politics and DRM of dinosaurs like iTunes Music Store…

I’m in Australia, and unfortunately it isn’t working here at the moment….

Hulu have blocked it again (from the UK at least). It was working last weekend. Idiots.

Wonderful, really impressed with how quickly you fixed the access from non-US countries (sorry to those who are still having problems) – it was SO worth the wait.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I did as you said and checked that out and the value is already at 2. I even set it to 1, restarted Firefox, then set it to 2, restarted Firefox and tried the clip again. Nothing’s changed.
I’m completely lost here.

This is most likely a problem with browser settings, in which the referer header is not being sent by the browser. The fix (for firefox) is:

Type “about:config” without the quotes into one of your firefox browser window location bars and press enter.

A long list should appear with a “filter” box at the top. In that box, type “referer”

The long list should now be reduced to one entry, which is called “network.http.sendRefererHeader”

If you are having this problem, the value for that line is probably 0 or 1. It needs to be set to 2 to allow referers for links AND embedded content (1 is for links only, 0 is no referers at all).

Double-click the line and type “2? (without the quotes) into the text box that pops up.

Go back to http://drhorrible.com/ and it should work!

I keep getting the much cursed “This video is not available at this site” message. I am in the US, and I’ve tried every fix I can find.
I tried every alternate link suggested here, I emptied my cookies, I updated flash. I tried to patiently, repeatedly reload for a few minutes. I turned off all firewalls, I restarted my computer, I made sure I could play other Hulu videos on their site. I mainly use Firfox, so I tried Explorer. I left it alone and tried it the next day. I beat my head against the wall until the neighbors complained.
Nothing has worked. Nothing has changed.
“This video is not available at this site.”
Please, someone tell me the one stupidly simple thing I have forgotten to do.
Did my state secede from the Union? Are we Canadians now and no one told me?
HELP!

Worked in Slovenia (FF3 on Linux/Ubuntu 8.04).
The girl is incredible. The songs are superb. I was a bit dubious during the monologue, but when the Dr. sang “with my freeze ray I will stop … the time” WOW!

I hope Dr. Horrible will put Capt. Hammer back in the toolbox where he belongs, and rule the earth with his lovely girl

I’m from Malaysia. It works great. Super Awesome Show!!!!

Many thanks Josh. Even in the country where software & movie piracy is rampant I’m gonna buy the original DVD to support the project.

PS : Dr Horrible kinda reminds me of Dr Impossible from the novel “Soon I will be Invincible” .

I smell Broadway success. Poseurs in parkas as far as the eyes can see.
