[Adama]

so no one who isnt there will be able to watch? :(

[Mindstorm]

I was captain and driver for 1051 for 2 years and I was looking forward to see the telecast but I guess I can't now... :(

I can't check to see how my former team is doing and it disapoints me.... :(

....I wanna cry....

[chinckley]

Are there any webcasts this weekend? :eek:
There should be at least one each weekend.

[Nawaid Ladak]

NASA Says Silocon Valley, and Boilermaker, but they are not up yet. and they said chesapeke is a possibility. FOR WEBcasts

[MikeT]

Anybody know if Wildstang will be hosting the Midwest regional webcast this weekend like they did last year? Im really anxious to see 111 and 71 :D
It would be nice to see them in action b4 the championship... but hopefully the webcasts will work soon.

[Joel J]

Me too.. I'm anxiously waiting for any webcast to go on-line.

It's working for me right now, maybe there is some sort of connection limit?

I just tried the one Greg provided and it doesn't work, but this one does.

[Nawaid Ladak]

NASA Has Both Silocon Valley and BoilerMaker up

[DjAlamose]

The silicon valley regional one isn’t working either so i think it has something to do with the website.....

[DonRotolo]

Boilermaker is working for me, using the link via the Boilermaker web site posted 2 or 3 above this post.

[Greg McCoy]

You might be better off to copy and paste this into "Open URL" in Windows Media Player:

mms://sargasso-3.arc.nasa.gov/boilermaker

Thanks!

[Pat McCarthy]

I can't get silicon valley or Boilermaker feeds to play. :(
Maybe my school's network is going screwy again.

[DjAlamose]

I’m still getting the error, there's most likely a cap on how many people can watch the webcast at a time...

[wilshire]

im not having any problems with opening the boilermaker webcast
i don't know what to tell you

[Justin Montois]

I like the camera position @ Boilermaker except you cant see the RTS feed

[Pat McCarthy]

Hmm, works now that I'm home... :p

[Nawaid Ladak]

I wanted to watch Chesapeke, Peachtree, and Midwest

(anyone know if 111's webcast is up yet.)

Judging by everyone's problems and my own issues with opening the webcasts up, 80% of your problems are being caused by firewall issues. That being said, make sure your ports are open. The port ranges that I needed to open varied from port 2175 to port 2288 so make sure those ports are open.

The other 19% of issues people are having may in fact be software based, so there is an alternative to the dreaded windows media player. Enter VLC Media Player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) a free, open source, and constantly improving video client that comes with every codec under the sun. Download it, Install it, Run it. After that follow these steps to play a media stream.



Open VLC
Go to File > Open Network Stream (ctrl+n)
Click the Network Tab in the new window
The third radio button down, HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/MMS, click that
Copy/Paste either into the URL box next to what you just clicked

mms://sargasso-3.arc.nasa.gov/live

in for the Silicon Valley Regional feed or

mms://sargasso-3.arc.nasa.gov/boilermaker

in for the Boilermaker feed


Press Ok
Watch

Getting the Wildstang/Silicon Valley Real Media feed in VLC



File > Open Network Stream (ctrl+n)
Click the Network Tab in the new window
4th Button down, rtsp click it
Paste below into the URL box next to the button you clicked


for Midwest (Thanks Wildstang):

rtsp://live.wildstang.org:554/broadcast/live.rm

or for Silicon Valley:

rtsp://live:live@explorer.arc.nasa.gov/broadcast/secure/live.rm

Press Ok
Watch
I'm having problems with the 111 feed right now, but the process is the same for all Real Media feeds. The .rm feeds tend to be picky with the video, and it's not the most stable part of the program so my advice is to use Real Media, but if you can get it to work, good for you.

[Pat McCarthy]

This might possibly be a 'you know you're addicted to FIRST when...' thing.
I've got both the Midwest and Boilermaker feeds running at the same time. :yikes:
Figuring out what audio is coming from what event is slightly confusing, but I can deal with it. :p

Are they actually going to show the NASA webcasts this week.

They say when available.
Does anyone know if that means they are going to actually run?
