Thank you guys VERY MUCH!

I totally look forward to this...

Just a question, will the practice matches be webcasted?

Uhg, figures the year we DON'T go to West Michigan it gets webcast. :(

I swear there hasn't been a regional event that my team has ever been at that I've ever been able to see official videos of afterwards (aside from Nationals of course).


By the way, any chance of getting match archives from last year? I emailed the addresses given on the site several times but never got a response on the matter. I would really like to get some footage of last year as all of our teams videos for WMR got stolen with a backpack while we were at Nationals. :(

THANKS to all those who got West Michigan to be webcasted!
Since I have college classes this week, I couldn't go! (Yeah, college is important. But sometimes it interferes with my love of FIRST...;) )
Once again, thanks! I really appreciate it!

The link currently on the regional website isn't correct.
The correct link to view the WMR webcast is: http://live.upstreamnetworks.com/16510-39771

This link will trigger open Windows Media Player to open and play the stream by clicking on it or you can copy the link and paste it into your Windows Media compatible player of choice.

Is anybody else experiencing a problem with the webcast?
In the middle of the third or fourth match, my Windows Media Player stopped playing. I thought if I closed out the player and re-opened the link from CD, I'd be okay. However, now it says that it cannot connect to the server.

I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem.

Thanks! =]

I'm having the same problem myself, actually. I tried the same few things (and put it in a different browser as well), and no luck.

The link appears to just send me to a blank page. No windows media player reaction at all. (of course the feed could just be down I guess) :(

Is everyone still having trouble? It is working at a separate connection at the venue for me.
If you haven't tried, copy the link address, open Windows Media Player, press crtl + u, then paste the link in the box.

I'm at the webcast area and we are fully up and running. Just clicking on the link on the West Michigan regional website doesn't work for me. However, I right clicked it and copied the shortcut then pasted into the 'Open URL' dialogue in WMP and it worked fine. Our website guy, Ken P., is currently working on fixing that when gets a moment away from his other duties.

This link works fine for me every time. I have been spot watching and it has worked at least 10 times for me. It also worked for me at school earlier in the library and class.:)
