2014 Webcasts

[lynca]

I started a Thread on the TBA forum (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1338659) but got very little traction.

Week 1 is right around the corner and we have Zero webcasts submitted on TBA. :eek:

Please submit your webcast on TBA,
http://www.thebluealliance.com/webcasts

There are updated instructions on how to webcast if you need help.
http://www.thebluealliance.com/record

If there is not a webcast for your event posted, please ask your regional coordinator or reply to the thread.

This link is working for Alamo - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/south-super-regional-frc-championship

TBA is currently looking at [{"type": "ustream", "channel": "7352004"}] trying to figure out what's the correct channel, and if it's something code related or it's just an incorrect channel. http://www.thebluealliance.com/webcasts

The michigan casts are here: http://www.coderedrobotics.com/webcast/

Is there anyone that can change the alamo link? It seems like a problem that we can only submit one especially if someone makes an error.

[Clinton Bolinger]

Alamo is showing a screenshot of the PC running the software. Is there a way to only show the video?

It has great quality.

Well you can add more than one. I'm pretty sure the TBA guys manually add links after reviewing them. I submitted the correct link, and also shot off an email to the dev group so we'll see if Greg or whomever has access to the database can actually go in and manual switch the links. I miss not seeing match scores at the bottom, and all the other features of TBA (I also wanna watch central illinois as well).

Hopefully, someone will give an update soon.

[Jared Russell]

The Alamo video feed is outstanding. Hopefully they will point the camera at some robots at some point :p

Server-side bug. Fixed.

Sorry for the issues.

Boo, Twitch stream is blocked by our schools web filter... Anyone else notice some funny scoring going on? I saw a match at Southfield where the blue alliance had two balls on the field from autonomous, but had a score of 111.

Looks like the CodeRed Robotics Webcasts are not working on Gameday. It says something about "This stream us currently unavailable on this domain at the broadcaster's request."

Is CodeRed Blocking TBA?

[Steven Smith]

Newbie to the webcasts, anyone know if these will be available for playback (even if uncut) reasonably soon? Trying to sneak as much as I can in at work, but I want to watch them all!

(edit: Thanks Clinton, I'll watch those tonight!)

[Citrus Dad]

Our team, 1678 Citrus Circuits, ran the Inland Empire webcast (on short notice). We've been asked to run the Sacramento Regional webcast as well. What did you think of it? Was it of sufficiently better quality than the usual web feed? How was the screen layout (which we are changing)?

We know about the audio feed issue, and we can't be hooked up to the FMS for official scoring. (We shadow the live scoring.)

Thanks for any feedback.

The MC microphone on feed #2 needs turned down. (Hub city)
1) The MC's voice is incredibly distorted.
2) The mic clearly pics up the nearby volunteers conversations. They are ripping on the teams playing pretty viciously.

feed #1 still has the 60 Hz hum in the audio.

anyone else having issues with the toronto west regional stream?

Yeah, it might just be me but I'm still having trouble pulling up a webcast on thebluealliance.

[Anupam Goli]

Whoever is doing the Glacier Peak webcast deserves a medal. The video quality from that webcast must be 720p+ and it's streaming at 35+fps for the most part. At times the quality is better than the championships webcasts. All we're missing is a fisheye lens and they'd have the best webcast setup in the world.

Thanks! I'll pass your praise along to the rest of the video crew. The entire A/V production is being run by high school students from 2910, 1983 and 1318, including the A/V switching and technical direction. A lot of credit goes to Kevin Ross and the fine folks at FIRSTWA who helped get the equipment setup figured out and secured access to the high speed internet at all of the venues.

For reference, we are streaming 720p 30fps from a Matrox Monarch hardware encoder. Here's a picture of two of the equipment setup from Auburn Mountainview last weekend:

Thanks! That means a lot to all of us. We saw this post earlier in the day and found it awesome to think that we are killing it out there. We ran into almost no technical difficulties throughout the day with ONLY STUDENTS on board. The job is a ton of fun and it's awesome that the people at home like what we are doing.

We were joking about getting my fisheye on a RED or a C300 for awesome wide shots of the field, but we have neither of those and no camcorder that we can think of out there is built with a fisheye lens. If you know of one I would love to hear about it.

Likewise, we really appreciate the compliments. I was the technical director for the event, and I was so happy to see us run so smoothly. Massive props for FIRSTWA for helping with all the networking required for the AV system, and thank you Glacier Peak High School for giving us a nice and open network so we could stream in perfect 720p.

I also want to commend the PNW districts for their amazing webcast quality. The fact that high school students can put on a much better live stream than NASA at some events is incredible.

Hey Martin, you are absolutely correct and the NASA guys have been the backbone of broadcasting this regional since 1998 when we were out at Kennedy Space Center.

The NASA team, our RoboShow team, and the RoboVision On Demand crews all work together with support of the regional committee at the Orlando regional. We have shared crew support, cameras, and other gear to allow us to aim for 3 different "goals". The NASA guys are providing an all-day webcast all 3 days of the in venue feed that teams have grown to love over years, RoboVision On Demand is mixing and archiving videos to support team scouting and for teams to use later for fundraising purposes, and RoboShow's goal is to create sports-show like coverage Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon both as a form of mentoring students on teams as well as for people to share with those "new" to FIRST to help explain what is happening.

It's pretty annoying that in 2014, despite the existence of several websites designed to make this problem go away, I still need to have like 5 browser tabs open to watch the streams I am interested in.

Anyone else getting really low FPS, like under 30, and definitely less than 720p when watching? I'm sure that it isn't my connection, but I'm not sure how the number of people watching right now could affect playback. I love the number of angles they have though. They literally put a camera in every angle that you could think of, this is probably the biggest + they have over other streams.

[MrBasse]

Both Michigan streams are down, Howell is reduced to just audio...

[ttldomination]

The resolution is fine, but the camera angles dancing every 5-10 seconds. It's exceptionally annoying.

I've given up on the FLOR webcast. Two to three matches before 624 the webcast drops then comes up right after their match ends. This is the same thing that happened to them at Alamo. Kind of suspicious.

Livestream says: "The owner of this Event does not have access to Embed the Live Player"

I wish people would just stick to Ustream, Justin, or Twitch... Livestream is sometimes okay, but the smaller streaming sites that don't allow embedding makes life difficult. :(

[BigJ]

And I noticed while watching GameSense that someone got FIRST Robotics added to the Twitch database of games (at least I don't think you can manually add one), adding it to the list of "not quite video games" (like MtG) that appear to be fine to stream on Twitch now.

[Whippet]

"not quite video games"

My sore arms from last week beg to differ. We are so much more than video games. :D

[BigJ]

My sore arms from last week beg to differ. We are so much more than video games. :D

Being more than video games doesn't make you a video game. Twitch will usually crack down on streams they deem not to be video game or gaming related (see the PS4 Playroom incident). But, since FIRST Robotics has an entry in their "now playing" list, I assume we're all good.

That's not a problem with Livestream, it's that the users didn't purchase the correct level. All three of those above are fine, but require logins or have ads, and the reason why we forked the money over was that the experience was top notch. Plus, we found the month-by-month full rate for a few months was cheaper than the nonprofit rate (which required an annual plan), so we'll drop down to a lower channel after we grab all the video.

NE FIRST got picked up by Livestream yesterday as a featured channel and we had over 3000 unique visitors on Thursday alone. They also promo'd us on twitter and somehow 80/20's twitter picked up on it too...yesterday was a pretty good day.

I cant find one. I will be heading up there at 4:00. I will ask there.

I think Waterford and Livonia might be on Code Red.

DC Regional does not have a webcast according to the DC Regional thread.

Nothing for Windsor-Essex (FRCOnWi)? I'd love to watch 1114, 2056 and 1241 mix it up again.

It's really painful that we've had to deal with so many FMS and FTP problems this year.

I'd love to see how the SVR rankings are looking.

I might try to get pictures of the rankings after the last matches of the day.

[Navid Shafa]

I might try to get pictures of the rankings after the last matches of the day.

That would be appreciated, thanks. You guys are looking great today, keep it up!

[Nuttyman54]

I might try to get pictures of the rankings after the last matches of the day.

That would be appreciated. Since the data reported on the rankings and the twitter are different, even with 100% complete twitter data we can't reconstruct the complete rankings because we won't know assist points.

[Navid Shafa]

Just got this text from 1678, CitrusDad:

http://i.imgur.com/SY8gJAll.jpg

[Navid Shafa]

At the Western Canadian Regional, match 50 is currently shown on the FMS twitter and FRC-Spy as a 0-0 tie. It was teams: 4334,2994,5115 vs. 1695,3216,4751

Auto score: 65-15
Teleop: 71-0
Foul: 70-0

Guess the score should have been 206-15. My only guess is maybe they need to replay it?

Congrats to all the people who help make the webcasts possible this year. The District webcasts were terrific this past weekend.

What was the best webcast of the season ?
Any tips on how to improve webcasts for next year ?

Anyone know when the District matches will be archived to youtube ?

Best webcast quality hands down goes to the PNW crew. Amazing HD Quality (1080p from what I heard! I couldn't tell on a 720p laptop.) I wish someone would really standardize casting and use the PNW Model....
Other than that, FiM always runs great webcasts, especially the full field fisheye twitch cast and the detroit public tv broadcast. I didn't watch NE or MAR all too much, but the NE one seemed alright, and the MAR was average.

I think the biggest improvements the webcasters can make is to have a dedicated team that's defined well before the event go through the logistics of getting a good quality cast set up. At a lot of events, webcasting is an afterthought, and this leads to bad quality coverage. Again, pushing the standardized casting system.

I also wish every regional and district did what FiM does, which is to archive every match played on youtube for convenient access. This is the next step to take once we all get webcasting down.

Team 1676 has published full-field footage of the Mount Olive (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPUJJPXRAlESgxFVf6jcv4FHDKQoeq3c9), Clifton (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPUJJPXRAlER3svh8hLFVjIOrSxsJhrad), and Bridgewater-Raritan (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPUJJPXRAlESksOH7q5Sxmsow4kXfAfSz) MAR Districts on our YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/Team1676). It is also on The Blue Alliance. Videos from MAR Champs will be uploaded in the days to come.

Completely agree, PNW has outstanding webcast quality, and from what I've heard, they're all (or at least mostly) student-ran. When watching the MAR Champs webcast on Thursday, I was very disappointed with it. I can tell you that myself and some other MAR alumni were able to talk to MAR Chairman Mr. Gene O'Brien during MAR Champs, and after discussing what MAR does compared to other districts, it seems that webcasting/archiving for MAR will hopefully be improved for next season.

I like the FiM HD wide-angle view; however, it needs a live score on screen and audio from the MC's microphones.

The Curie Field is being broadcast with the audio of Galileo. :(

[James1902]

I found the Curie audio on the Newton stream. I have my headphones plugged into my laptop tuned to Newton while I watch the Curie stream on my desktop. It's not ideal but it works.

[SkittlesCharge]

Quick reference guide:

Archimedes stream has Archimedes audio
Curie stream has Galileo audio
Galileo stream has Newton audio
Newton stream has Curie audio

Hopefully they fix this soon. :(

Seems like all the audio is shifted. Is there a helpline we can call?

[RoboAlum]

I am now getting a playlist can not be loaded error 1090 now

[Steven Donow]

This needs to go to a higherup, but just now ref discussion was being heard on Curie stream. Well, Newton audio, Curie refs.

[Zornan]

Anyone know how to get NASA feed to correct sound? Watching Galileo, but hearing Newton...

[Navid Shafa]

Newton is fixed now, don't know about the rest.

[SkittlesCharge]

Newton audio was just fixed - I don't know about the others

EDIT: They all seem good now.

[Connor Mulkey]

All of the audio just got corrected for each division.

[Mr_D_Mentor]

Is there any way to watch on an I-phone

[billbo911]

The Curie feed keeps dropping out momentarily. It causes my display to drop back from full screen to standard display. Anyone know a way to have it stay full screen?

I'm having no problems, fullscreen or windowed. If you are not viewing it through http://www.thebluealliance.com/gameday already, I recommend it.

Yeah i'm getting the same thing. It drops me out of full screen and the stream pauses for a second, then comes back exactly where it stopped at. (and it does this in both chrome and firefox)

-edit-
Switching to the blue alliance fixed the issue :D guess the problem is with the nasa website. (dunno why i wasn't watching it through TBA at first >.<

I was having the same problem with Curie when watching it on NASA's site, but am having no problems when watching it through Gameday.

I've had success using the Puffin Web Browser: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puffin-web-browser-free/id472937654?mt=8

There's also a paid version of the app if you want to watch outside the hours of 8AM - 4PM.

Does anyone have a similar solution for mobile viewing on Android?

[plasma_54]

I have no idea if this will work on ios devices, but on my android phone I got it to work by navigating directly to the m3u8 stream url and opening it in the default video player.

This is the link for Curie:
