Midwest Regional Webcast
 
The webcast for Midwest is up and running here. Please reply here if you have any issues with it.

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
Does the webcast only play with Real Player?
Or will it play with Windows Media Player?
I tried opening it in WMP but it says it cannot connect because the server is too busy.

it was working perfectly in wmp until a little bit ago and now i can't get it to load and play anymore.

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
Cool, I really don't want to install Real Player if I don't have to. :p
Way to many adverts.

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
Little network hiccup, but it should be OK now, except we're not getting any video to the table for some reason. Working on that now.

Dave Campbell 15-03-2007 10:33
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
It's working now, Thanks Dave and Wildstang! We're looking forward to some exciting matches this weekend.

I get this message when I try to connect.
"Access to the webcast from the Midwest Regional venue has been disabled."

If this isn't a common problem come find me @ 1103's pit.

I was watching it, then it went into this endless cycle of "Buffering" & "attempting to reconnect". I tried to reconnect a couple times but same thing happened. It will probably be fine when I get back form class but I thought I should report it. Thanks, Wildstang

The message is correct - there's no point in wasting bandwidth by having people watch the webcast who are here in person!

Dave Flowerday 15-03-2007 10:53
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
I'm trying a different method of webcasting this time which uses Windows Media. I'm not sure how it's going to work out - we may have to switch back to Real if it keeps freezing up.

BRosser314 15-03-2007 11:12
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
Im having the same problem by trying to connect, I was watching the sponsor reel then it just stopped, please let me know if i need Real Player, or what needs to be taken care of to watch this video.

Dave Flowerday 15-03-2007 11:30
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
Looks like Windows Media isn't working out. Sorry!

Try going to the URL again to view it with RealPlayer this time (yes, you'll need to install it, and BTW I don't seem to have an issue with ads with it anymore?)

I may be in real player and a little laggy but it is working by the time I got back from class. I'm getting my first glimpse of Wildstang in action (looks like they are teleporting tubes onto the rack with the lag) and it is very impressive. Thanks again

ChiragS 15-03-2007 12:48
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
its working now...

This just in...

Wildstang is good.

(As if you couldn't have figured that one out.)

Pat McCarthy 15-03-2007 14:04
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
I'm getting the stream now, good audio, but only 1 frame/second for video.

SamC 15-03-2007 14:20
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
I can't get it... When I go to the link it says save as or open with (normal stuff), but it is a PHP file. So I said open with WMP and WMP says can't open file, unsupported file type (or something like that). So I tried again, said save as, renamed it to midwest.wmp and tried to open it again in WMP and I got an error that says can not play the file, as well as the error message I said above (wrong file type...). Any ideas? How did everyone else get around this?

Windows Media was not working, so we had to switch to a Real broadcast. Download and install RealPlayer to get it working.

I had it working for a moment but now I've got the same problem.

It says, "You cannot receive this content. You do not have enough network bandwidth."

What's up?

Check Tools->Preferences->Connection

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
I switched to Real player. And I too get the not enough Network Bandwidth error. My preferences say I am set to 1.5Mbps

It has been set to 384 kbps DSL/Cable.

It seems to be working alright now. Thanks.

Jonathan Norris 15-03-2007 16:19
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
if you don't like real player (and all the crap that seems to come with it), there is a program called real alternative (google it) which should work. I haven't tried the stream on it yet, but i presume it should work.

It is the Chicago regional, but no 330 is not there. The list of teams attending is here.

Dave Flowerday 16-03-2007 09:27
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
We're up and running again for the day, hopefully with much better performance. Still going with RealPlayer though.

You need to configure RealPlayer to work with the Motorola proxy. You'll have to find directions on how to do that - I don't have them handy.

Alex Cormier 16-03-2007 12:18
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
thanks for the cast!!

Nevermind it just now connected!
and the feed looks exellent!

Pat McCarthy 16-03-2007 17:18
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
I don't know if there is anything you can do about it, but the sound it kind of distorted, like the volume it is being fed into the webcaster way too loud.
Other than that, great picture!

Yeah, I know about it - there's nothing I can do about it right at the moment, but I think I can do something about it for tomorrow.

Dave Flowerday 17-03-2007 10:13
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
We're up and running for the day, with improved audio quality. Let me know if it sounds better.

Pat McCarthy 17-03-2007 11:35
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
Both audio and video are great today! Thanks Dave!

psquared89 17-03-2007 12:50
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
I'm having some trouble. The stream connects great and I don't think there are any bandwidth issues, but I only have audio (no video). I tried with RealPlayer 10.5, that didn't work so then I tried Real Alternative (yes, I did uninstall RP before installing RA), same problem. My graphics drivers are updated (nvidia 93.71), although I'm guessing it's a codec issue, though I don't know why, as those are usually reported when the media is opened?

Any suggestions?

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
If it's Beatty vs. Wildstang in the finals, Wildstang will win. Wildstang can put tubes on more quickly and 1739 can't get up Beatty's ramp.

JamesBrown 17-03-2007 16:41
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
Beatty vs Wildstang, and the score ended up 0 to 0, who would have guessed.

Beatty aint there. It's 1000. 648 and 447.

Pat McCarthy 17-03-2007 16:43
Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
Finals matches 1 and 2 were ties!
BTW: 111's alliance made it to the Finals, but 71's did not. 71 lost in the semi's.

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
looks like Midwest is the most exciting regional this week

who would have thought that 1000+648 could have taken 904+111 to FIVE matches, two ties and a split. he, could end up being another tie this match, that would be crazy

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast
 
its amazing to see such a different style almost every alliance at the wisconsin regional had ramp bots they used these teams seem to be duking it out in ringers only. i wonder how itll play out in nationals

I bet every allaince will have two scorers and a ramp bot.
It's not like there's going to be a shortage of good ones to choose from.

Some of those ramp bots may also be scorers, 69 for example is a quality bot in both respects.

Oh man, I hope they're archived somewhere. My camera battery died after the second final match tie.

Without a doubt, the most exciting regional yet. Just a side-note though, I have only watched one other regional, VCU, for 2 hours.:o

I have it. I just need to split it up and recompress it. I'll work on it tomorrow - I'll get the eliminations at least.

It doesn't look very good on YouTube, but here is the last match of the 2007 Midwest Regional Final (5/5).

Along with a little celebration. :o
