Re: Webcasts 2015
 

I completely agree. My point was that while we should provide feedback about the poor webcasts (and lack of match results), FIRST has already acknowledged it as something that can be improved and yet here we are.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

I know it's a joke, but this is still a big issue for international teams. I'm up at 0100 (local time) watching poor quality, audio-less streams that make it hard to understand whats going on. Inspiring more teams is a big part of FIRST, making championships double/split may or may not be a big part of that plan. But these streams are struggling to even remind me of the amazing atmosphere and experience championships is.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

If FIRST thought that two Championships would improve Champs, it logically follows that they thought having three camera views per field would improve webcasts.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Number of angles can help, but the execution on literally almost every other variable into the process of putting together a good webcast is ignored.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Number of angles is only good when you have one decent full field view on screen at all times, which they're not doing. Not to mention, the only full-field view is from directly overhead, which, coupled with the junk resolution, makes it difficult to even see team numbers.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Those are a small sample of variables that aren't accounted for. The most incredible one is the top down view on robots that have no numbers on the top of them.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

I am watching Carver through the link from TBA. 3 views, audio and decent resolution. I can see the team numbers clearly.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Top down also makes it incredibly hard to see how tall stacks are.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

I like the split view, because red&blue are operating almost completely independently of eachother and so only seeing one side at a time is silly. I think the third camera (top down) is mostly useless and should just be an occasional feed switch to full screen.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Tesla audio works now. Seems as they fixed the streams during the break.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Hopper seems stuck on match 14. What's up with that ?

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

It's a replay of Match 14. The replay also had to be replayed.

Edit: Oh, it appears the one on Blue Alliance is just looping. The one on the NASA site seems to work fine

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Shoot. On it...

EDIT: Hopper was still on lunch break, so the stream was offline. GameDay seems fine for me now

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Why does the Galileo feed have a background picture and the others don't?

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

This is one of the most frustrating things I have ever seen. I can get the feed for Tesla to work for a match or two and then it freezes. When I try to restart the NASA site flashes a 404 error quickly and then shows "Playlist could not be loaded: Error #1090. The Blue Alliance and At The Control shows a message about crossdomains and then just shows the looping arrow. And to top it off, The results haven't updated since match 23.

If there is a streaming site that works reliably, please let me know.

Thanks.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Teams seem to be doing pretty well though. The top opr on Carson is hovering around 2668.59

wait a minute...

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

On TBA, is there a way to hide the black bar with the upcoming matches that appears at the bottom of the video window? For me, it never keeps up with the matches, and more importanlyt hides the bottom of the broadcast when I'm in 4 up layout on a 1080p display.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Does anyone know what stream the opening ceremony/deans list ceremony will be streamed on tonight?

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Was wondering the same thing.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

I'm assuming that it'll be shown on all the sub-division feeds, but that's just an assumption.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

They got it up on a couple streams but they seem to be frozen sadly.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Anyone find any stream for opening ceremonies?

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

It looks like Archimedes and Tesla will be streaming Opening Cermonies, which makes sense because they are the two fields that will become Einstein Saturday night. However, Opening Cermonies have not started yet. Newton's feed is also still going, but seems to be out of sync with Archimedes's and Tesla's.

EDIT: Looks like Opening Cermonies are getting started on all of the streams.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

I'm hearing music on the Newton stream but apparently they haven't started yet

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Newton's working for me.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Yep, Newton is up.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

They set it up on Einstein.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Has anyone else noticed that they're using the victory themes from Super Smash Bros. to introduce speakers to the stage? Specifically I've heard them use the themes for Fox, Falco, ROB, and now Mario. I guess ROB would be relevant considering this year's game.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Now on the Tesla stream, I'm getting the Tesla alliance selection - with Archimedes audio!!!

Really disappointing...

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

What a sad weekend for Blue Alliance.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

You know TBA is not the provider, they're just a middleman with a nice interface?

FIRST/NASA are providing the webcasts.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

or at least attempting to...:ahh:

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Quoted for truth. Everyone blames The Blue Alliance when something goes wrong with the feeds. All they actually do is just take the streams directly from their sources, allowing viewers at home to watch multiple webcasts easily in the same place.

Do two divisions have their audios crossed? That's not TBA. Is are the rankings/results not showing because FIRST isn't publishing them? That's not TBA. Is the quality of the webcast pretty bad? That's not TBA.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

...

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Can we take some time to give it up for Phil, Eugene, everyone else who posts to GitHub for changes, etc, for making the Blue Alliance such an incredible and all-encompassing resource for FRC? I remember what it was like 8 years ago and the strides the community has made for the product do not get enough recognition for how incredible it is. They even rolled out myTBA like it was no big deal. It's awesome!

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* yay!!!

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Oh yes, TBA is a god-send for me when I can't attend competitions. Having 8 streams open in one windows is just plain awesome. And being able to get to schedules and results easily helps when the stream messes up or I'm asleep/at work. It's a shame that FIRST/NASA is the weak link that pull TBA down.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Anyone else have Carver suddenly switch to Curie?

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Are there any mobile-friendly streams for champs?

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

GameDay on the Blue Alliance app is pretty good.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Thanks, didn't realize there was an update for the app that added GameDay.

Keep on keeping on TBA, you're great.

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Anywhere I can find archives of the divisions?

Re: Webcasts 2015
 

Team 1676 recorded full-field video of all the qualification and elimination matches in the Hopper Sub-Division. Some of the footage is still uploading, but it will all be put in this playlist once it's done: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...38hz9Y6nolxGWX

We also recorded footage of Einstein as well, with those videos being listed in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...XT1FdD1DsUR-FH
