We have a webcast running from the St. Louis Regional. Unfortunately we don't have much bandwidth from here so we are running at a low resolution, but hopefully it's better than nothing.

There's only one link. What kind of trouble are you having? It looks like other are getting in fine. You need RealPlayer installed, do you have that?

VLC will not play it on a mac or pc, but i was able to get it to play in Real player.

RealPlayer is working for me. I've had to close it a few times and restart due to freezing, but after doing that, it's gone pretty smoothly.

Thanks for this, Dave. I was getting antsy because this is the first time I haven't been with my team for their regional. Problem solved (although I still have a slight impulse to call every hour and get an update :p )

It's meant to be opened in a web browser. If Real is installed correctly it should launch automatically.

Dave,
Hoping you read this...I am getting the audio on the stream pretty low, about 10 dB I
am guessing.

its very very jumpy like maybe 2-3fps... dunno if its because of overload on the system or just my connection through many firewalls/routers at work /shrug...

still good to see though!!!

thank you 111!!!

Hmm... It was looking OK earlier but now I see after lunch that it's really low. I cranked it up a bit.

As mentioned in the first post in this thread, we have very little bandwidth out of the arena. This is the best we can do - sorry.

It was down for a few minutes due to some problems. I fixed it now so it's getting a direct audio feed and I bumped up the resolution a bit. Try it now and let me know if it's better.

Thanks.

As I said in my last post it works now! And yes the resolution and sound is much better than earlier! Thanks for bumping it up for those of us that are stuck at home for college classes and going nuts because we can't be there!! :D

The actual quality of the picture is very good--better than VCU or NJ for me, but the video is very very jumpy.

Best picture for me too. Bigger than VCU and NJ is not up. It's also jumpy for me, but really its just giving me what it see every second and moves on.

Yes, now that I am home the audio seems OK. It sounds like you might only getting one side of a stgereo feed since we can hear the main announcer well but not the school/sponsor announcer.

Is this supposed to be the regional webcast? All I am seeing is a DVD menu or the FIRST Logo. Or is there an error in the webcast?

Heh... looking at the time and date of this post, I believe that this was from my eldest daughter, who found out that Wildstang was webcasting this regional. (she had to show my wife how to find the link...)

Thanks to 111 for providing some family back home to see how we did.

Andy B.Thanks for the clarification, Andy. I was standing a few feet away when the final match ended, and saw the beginning of your alliance's celebration. Since you were right in the middle of it I was fairly certain you couldn't have been posting on CD at that same moment.

Of course, someone (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=589242#post589242) who can score on all rack levels while hovering autononmously 12 inches off the floor in his own home zone could probably have posted on CD while winning a regional.;)

Congrats again to the winning alliance 1444/45/839. Indiana teams will be welcome in St. Louis any time you want to come back.
