I'm not getting anything to play on that page...

Here are some prerecorded videos from these HDEV streams - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsm3mX0zqA4

Some of the footage looks almost to be in the atmosphere. Like at 2:44 (https://youtu.be/Xsm3mX0zqA4?t=2m44s) where you can see the moon setting.

Yeah that player appears to be freaking out for some reason.

You can also view the stream here https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html#iss

Anyone else only seeing a 3-second loop on the ustream feed? Tried in Chrome on multiple computers/OSs.

How often would it be switching cameras or having communications issues?

I've had this on in the background as a nice-screensaver of sorts for a few weeks now; I'd say it spends 1/8th of its time showing that 'back soon' screen.

That sounds really nice. Would you care to share your code?

Isn't this very old news?

It's a video stream from the International Space Station, pointing at different directions, recording what it sees as it floats by: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/iss-hdev-payload

Technically it's falling, not floating. It's also moving at over 17,000 mph (almost 28,000 mph).
