Re: No video, only audio - Desktop update 24.1

Hello, I am here just to report a work around to get picture to work:

 

Step 1: open sky go app, make sure it's not full screen, just a small window.

Step 2: play the content you want to watch.

Step 3: when the sound starts but the video is black, click where the fullscreen button is in the bottom right of the window is. Do this until it goes full screen. You'll still have a black screen and sound.

Step 4: Press your windows key to bring up the task bar. 

Step 5: Hover on the Sky Go icon on the task bar. Wait for the small preview of the sky go window to appear. When it does, mouse over the preview and right click on it. Press minimise.

Step 6: Repeat step 5, but instead of pressing minimise, press restore.

 

The content will now play in full screen with picture. Still can't interact with the Sky go controls but it works.

No picture (sound only)

Until yesterday I have been ableto watch Sky on my Laptop without any issues. Now when I select a programme I get a black screen with sound only. When adverts come on I do get a picture and sound but as soon as adverts finish a black screen appears with sound only.

This happens on live tv / documentaries etc.

I have removed and re-installed the Sky Go App but still no joy.

 

any ideas?

Re: sky go app won't load

Downloaded new update for sky yesterday, have not used for two weeks. I then watched F1 qualifying. 

 

Not working today and missed f1.

Tried reinstalling, updated my net framework. and so on.

Click the app and I get a black screen, no messages and just hangs there waiting for it to work..

P.s when I deleated the app and reinstalled. Updated to the newr version no problem.

Have you tried deleting the app non both laptops then installing a fresh copy from the Sky website ?

 

Uninstall the Sky Go app and then go to 'C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming (ensure hidden files/folders are visible) and delete the following folders:


Sky
Sky Go


And if it is present (it might not be) the Cisco and/or Synamedia folder in App\Data\LocalLow.
Empty your recycle bin.

Reboot your PC and then download and install the Sky Go app again via here:

Re: Sky go update. Laptop

Yup agreed, seems to be issues reported on Macs also. IF only these updates were tested properly before release.

Sky Go not loading after update 24.1.3.0

My Sky Go has stopped working after having to download & install update 24.1.3.0

It had been working fine up until then. I have deleted the app, the Sky Go files, the Cisco files, and tried to reinstall an older version of the app, but then have to install the newest update as there is no way to stop it. I have also tried running it as an administrator, but no joy. 

Anybody know whats going on??
