chrome too many re-directions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

SONY NSZ-G7 google tv box when accessing ITV player using chrome browser and 
clicking on TV program error 310 too many re-directions appears. Tried clearing 
cache cookies checking time but problem still persists.

Reproduced the issue on Vizio.  Chrome browsers on desktop don't suffer from 
this issue though so it could be that Google TV user agent string is causing 
this too many redirects.

Sony NSZ-GS7 same problem and with all tv exception being BBC so no access to 
ITV player, channel 4 on demand, demand 5 etc. Chrome seems to be buggy and no 
access to alternative browsers, as its google tv. Only at the moment it is a 
crippled box in the corner unable to do what it was bought for.

Tv apps are incompatible. 

Please fix.

I'm able to access https://www.itv.com/itvplayer using my Chrome on Mac.  It 
seems that if you change your user agent string to 

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like 
Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1309.0 Safari/537.17

you'll get around this problem.

I would like to thank shawns very much for the answer to this problem on the 
Sony Google TV set top box - I took the advice and changed the User Agent to 

chrome/24.0.1309.0

and the problem appears to be fixed.  Thanks very much indeed.

I am suddenly having this problem with www.nhl.com/gamecenterlive  for the past 
couple of days.  I guess I'll have to watch hockey games elsewhere.

I've had this problem with nhl gamecenter live for the past 3days.  Vizio 
co-star.  I'm trying to enter in a custom User agent, and the field won't allow 
text input.

Oh my dear God, shawns.. I owe you!  I figured out how to get the custom agent 
field to accept input by searching for the user agent field and we now can get 
into nhl!  You are a god!

I'm having this issue as well, I've contacted the NHL GameCentre people, and 
they have said it's a Google TV issues. Waiting on their response.

Same problem with NHL Gamecenter started recently. They're lucky that they 
don't show the Playoff anyway or I'd be so pissed.

Will try setting the recommended agent when I get home today.

Playoffs are broadcasted. We are watching them via our Vizio Co-Star.  Thanks 
to shawns.  We are now having a new problem with GameCenter in that it's the 
only site that we're getting such horrific buffering and 1/2 the time we get an 
error for that.  Last night it worked well though.

Shawns... is there an alternate string I can use?  Or did I make an error in 
only typing in 'Chrome/24.0.1309.0' as the poster suggested?  Should I have 
typed in the entire user agent string?

Setting user agent to 
"chrome/24.0.1309.0"
worked for me too.

if you are using chrome browser on your SONY NSZ-G7 select "advanced settings", 
then "under the hood" then check custom user agent and type in "android". This 
worked for me.

I tried  24.0.1309.0 and worked fine for itvplayer  but not 4OD, I tried 
"android" didn't work for either..
