problems with BU.tv

[peoriaspitfire]

TEST IS UP. You'll need either FireFox 3.5 or VLC Media player. HD Capture card should be here sometime next week, but I wont be able to do any REAL live video testing anywhere but at home. No video feed where the server is


Stream test: http://208.100.57.163:8800/ogg-audio-video/
VLC Media Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

I have both, but am unable to get a connection to the test. Thanks for all of the effort. I'm looking forward to some type of miracle!

Ok, here is some actual test VIDEO, but it is cheating because its not encoded on the fly.

Is that a camera, showing something else playing the game, or just playing it from a file?

Its from the DVD a Bradley Fan gave me. The DVD is of the TiVO recording. The quality you're watching there is exactly the quality I have from the DVD, just a lot smaller in file size. But its an actual file being streamed out, which is why I consider it cheating. Until I'm able to pull video from a live source, it wont be cheating

Guiness you are the man!

FYI....I recieved some information that BU.tv will be working on the situation but will not be ready for Tomorrow's game! I'll keep you posted but in the meantime we have heard this before and I expect the Guiness' system will be up and running just in case!

Maybe I am oversimplifying things, but i also think BTV doesn't archive at an acceptable quality. I am watching an archived game from I believe 2006, a WEEK TV telecast, and it too is pretty poor quality, even though it was not a webcast. Seems to me it should be fine, unless it was converted at low quality.

OK the quality was terrible again for the 50th time but I received a that it was being worked on for the next game. If the quality next game is still sub-par then I hope we can form a protest group from the guys on this site and petition the new AD for some relief.

WOW. Can it get any worse? I guess this proves it.

It's fine on channelsurfing.

Thanks! Made the switch.

Thought I would add an edit to add that besides the poor video quality, the sound might have been even worse!

I'm not getting video on channel surfing....

ChannelSurfing works great... who is streaming this? It is fantastic quality. Does anyone know how to make it full screen on ChannelSurfing though?

[sam hannam]

Try loading it again.

I had the same issue. Just double click the video once it's open. I would actually pay for this...but it's free!!!!
