Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Maybe create another channel and push the stream to that one? It could be the server node in which your channel is broadcasting from. Other than that, I have no clue. Perhaps give Mogulus a try?

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

so is the San Diego regional webcast going to be up?

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Last I heard the team that was going to webcast it has everything there and ready to set up a webcast, but they're just waiting on permission from the committee chairman, who is in turn waiting for some word from the production company...

Anything is better than nothing! Just video is good enough. Thank you!

It is all ready to go in gameday for tomorrow!

Awesome, I was looking for this.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

We should also have a stream of FLR via the cable broadcast. It is done by a team alumni at RIT. Should have audio and video when it comes up.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

I'm not sure if this was posted before, but anyone who is watching a regional webcast via ustream, please when you enter the chatroom set a nick name. To do this on ustream, type "/nick nicknameyouwant". Except remove the quotes. When I join I type /nick Joe_Widen This will make it easier to talk to people.

Thanks everyone.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

So far I have been less than impressed with the ustream.tv feed.

Any hope of getting some good webcasts???

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

NASA's offer to host any webcast remains open to those who wish to take advantage of it...

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Regardless of the quality, props to all of those who make the effort to bring us these webcasts. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!!

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Which webcasts have you watched? What kbps and codec did they use? What was the video process chain in use at the event. All of these effect precieved resolution.

One comment I recieved on the GSR webcast on ustream.tv was "wow, I can read the team numbers (at the bottom of the screen)". When transmitted at 350kpbs and utilizing a DV25 input stream the video was fairly decent. I pushed upwards of 450kbps uplink speeds, but downlink either due to ustream or local viewers networks (including my own monitor system at the event) showed jerkiness in playback. The main issue though is reliable uplink speed limitations. I had a 2000kbps uplink but still had problems maintaining streaming much beyond 350kbps. Throughput wasn't the only thing effecting streaming, latency was often as big an issue. I suppose a high-end hardware based realtime h.264 encoder might be able to achieve better streaming results with limited kbps bandwidth, but it all comes down to how many bits you can stream reliably and that is not limited by the remote server but is more effected by the uplink network in use.

If NASA has an mms server then I'd like to do some trial broadcasts on it for next season. With an mms server I'd at least be able to choose my own codec, but I'd still likely use the MainConcept codec as used by Adobe FME as it is commonly on all recieving systems already although the CoreADVC codec is suppose to produce better run-time h.264 stream results (results were alot better than the x264 based FFmpeg tool chain in the latest 2009 streaming shootout).

Thanks,
bud
PS by comparison the archived footage is being targetted at 1000kbps-1250kbps, or 3x-4x as much data. So there isn't a fair comparison between webcast and archived footage. I prefer 1600-2000kps archive footage, but then I have old eyes.
(http://www.thenulldevice.net/Team0000/GSR2009/Videos/ - _540v are @1600kbps ~30MB/match and _720v are @2000kbps ~38MB/match these were converted from DV25 [25Mbps/~550MB file] snaps taken while webcasting).

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Just to give credit where credit is due, I don't believe 968 had anything to do with the webcast. It was put up by team 1828, The Boxerbots.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Yeah, I mistakenly thought that was the one that Kiet Chau was hosting, but it was not. My apologies.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Attached are two net bandwidth snaps from GSR, one taken at the beginning of the day before everyone arrived with a lightly loaded network, the second at one of the low points during the day when I was struggling to maintain stream connectivity....

Any questions on why the stream was having problems? :rolleyes:

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

<off topic>
That's a pretty cool application.
I just tested my connection at work, & it showed 58.1Mbps download, & 348kbps upload.
What a crazy jump in values! I'll have to check my connection at home, just out of curiosity - I have cable there.
Thanks for sharing!

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Does anyone know if the Boilermaker regional has webcast plans? I'm willing to do it if they'd like me to.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Ahahahaha!!! Did anyone just hear the Happy Days/Fonzie/Jukebox reference on the Orlando regional webcast?? LMAO!!

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

The Pittsburgh Regional has been up consistently for a while now. http://live.delphielite.com/

The Dallas stream has been a little flaky. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/dallasfirst

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Here is a complete list of regional for each week. It is also being updated once a new webcast is scheduled.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

There is a wide variety of archived content available on TBATV @ http://thebluealliance.net/tbatv. A couple of regionals had videos up from this year that you can either download or play in browser using flash, or there are still some videos from 2008 online as well.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

I thought you guys were going to do it!

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Any chance LA is going to have a webcast?

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

No, it was posted in another thread that there are venue/union issues that prevent a webcast from the LA regional.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

That would be news to me...

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

:ahh:

Boilermaker plans to do a webcast, as we have done for the last few years...I switched to Helix Server/RealPlayer last year and multiple people complained about it not working very well, so I think we will stick with Windows Media this year.

I'm not sure where that rumor came from, but if you'd like to help Dave, I'd appreciate someone who *actually* knows what they are doing with webcasts :] Maybe you can get Helix/Real to work better than I did last year...

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Cory,

is SVR started yet? the stream is not up for me yet.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

It's only 8:39 in San Jose.

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

That would explain a lot... time change is hard :P

on another note I would have to say that I am really impressed with the number of webcasts so far this year, almost every regional so far this season has had a webcast. Great work FIRST community! keep it up!

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Is anyone doing the Chesapeake regional? I am at Virginia Tech for school, but want to watch my team play, 836.

Thanks

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

Information on the Boilermaker Regional webcast is available here. Let me know how it looks...you might need the latest version of Windows Media Player (11).

Re: 2009 Regional Webcasts
 

It looks great!

It is working fine for me in WMP 11, Media Player Classic, and VLC.
