Internal server error |
"WebTV ran into a technical problem. Please try again." (pre-MSN TV rebrand), "MSN TV ran into a technical problem. Please try again." (MSN TV rebrand), "Incorrect password." |
"Incorrect password." is believed to be used when accessing service URL "wtv-head-waiter:/tricks-passwd", although this is only confirmed to be the case on a third-party private server. The other first two are speculated to appear when a service URL is either accessed in an unintended manner, or doesn't exist. It's speculated that you'll also get this error when using an invalid wtv-token suffix on service URLs that need it. Need more documentation on this.
