Midwest webcast not working

[Dave Flowerday]

Not working here, is anyone else getting it? Occasionally it comes on, shows a few frames of video, then goes back off air. I tried to watch once yesterday but it wasn't working then either.

[Aren_Hill]

I caught a few matches yesterday, but i'm getting the same issue as you today, no feed except a few frames every once in awhile.

[BeckyHand]

I can't get it consistently either. Sound was even working for a few frames

[karlcswanson]

Same problem here.

[Dave Flowerday]

If anyone reading this is at Midwest maybe they can pass word on to the organizers that it's not working. Thanks.

[Aren_Hill]

I'll see if I can get ahold of someone there to go ask about it.

[IndySam]

this is depressing.

Any updates? I've gotten audio for a few seconds periodically, but nothing else. The ads seem to come through fine though unfortunately :rolleyes:

Very.

I agree this is pretty depressing :-/... Also if someone from the Midwest regional sees this thread can they also see why the feed won't work for iPhones? I can watch the Waterloo and LA regionals using my iPhone but I keep getting an error message when I try to stream the Midwest regional.

[IndySam]

I just got to see about 20 seconds.

Now it's back again, please stay.

Looking good here, but I just lost sound as I was typing this. (never mind. Still Choppy)

Nice job 1987 scoring the auto in match 20. Then the video cut out...

What is the link you are using? The NASA link page does not show a stream for midwest.

It's still not working for me though. Saw video for 5 seconds then it went back off-air.

[Hugh Meyer]

OK. Thanks. It seems to be working now.

I've been attempting to watch the webcast as well, but every time I load the page it says that the feed is offline. Hopefully it starts working ASAP!

They should be on lunch break, but starting up again real soon.

Edit: 1:11 central time, and we have life on the webcast!!!!

Frozen shot of the driver station for me, guess I'm going to miss another 111 match.

I am not watching the webcast, just watching scores on FRCSpy and the FRCSpyder Mobile Application... I was just wondering if Bomb Squad got a Red Card in qualification match 18 (I show an alliance score, but no QP for them from that match). If so, what for?

Midwest Regional Postcard Cast?

could just be a surrogate match

[RMiller]

Good call... it was their third match. That should be quick enough to look up.

Dead on accurate as well.

It being the third match that is the surrogate makes for interesting results in the standings as Bomb squad has only two played matches at the moment and some teams have four (like Wildstang).

[Jared Russell]

could just be a surrogate match

Indeed it is. 16 has 11 matches. Most teams have 10.

[lynca]

118 & 1732 vs. 111 was intense !

Midwest elims are going to be crazy

[BeckyHand]

Pretty disappointing to miss matches this morning too!

[Ian Curtis]

Has anyone picked up the feed today? It says on "On Air" but when I click play I just get a spinning circle.

It has not been on all morning. It's extremely extremely disappointing; rankings and match schedules have been having glitches too. The past few minutes a few pictures have come up from matches but it just freezes on them. No sound either.

Does this happen with every regional? KC didn't have these issues...

[basicxman]

On behalf of the Waterloo webcast I can safely say that ustream has been having some major issues lately and I hope that these are resolved within their data centers before GTR. While all our equipment was working, ustream audio/video would occasionally (very rare, not the same as Midwest) drop.
