Watching a regional feed? One isn't enough. [Global Regional Feed Page]
 
Hello CD community!

On behalf of MMRambotics FRC #2200 we are announcing something exciting for the 2011 season. Regional venue dates are fast approaching and many companies and teams are broadcasting live regionals on ustream and other websites.

This is fantastic, but why watch only one at a time? Our programming team has been working on a page which allows you to watch multiple ones at the same time (including a global chat and individual regional chats from embedded players such as ustream).

Check 'er out,
http://mmrambotics.ca/regionalfeed

Feeds will be updated as soon as possible :)

Protip: ustream embeds need to be played by pressing in the very middle of the arrow - otherwise it opens in a new tab. If anybody knows a solution it would be welcomed.

EDIT: Oh an always, code on GitHub: https://github.com/MMRambotics/MMRam...t/regionalfeed

Really well done guys! Probably the best webcast page I've seen. I'll be using it this week.

Looks fantastic!

The chat being used doesn't look familiar. Are there any usable commands? Can users change their name from GuestXXXXXXXX?

It's a phpfreechat.net thing I put in an iframe and cut out a whole bunch of stuff from. You can get a help menu via typing '/help' (without quotes) and change your nickname by '/nick <new_nickname>' (without quotes and angle brackets).

Going to do up a quick Help dialog soon.

We heavily rely on other teams and sponsors to broadcast regional feeds so we can embed them on our viewer.

We're planning on some quick new features:
  • Help dialog.
  • #omgrobots Twitter feed.
  • Client side cookies to save open feeds.

Does anyone know if there is any schedule for when the feeds will go live and what times they will run through? I can't seem to find any solid guide. I assume that they only run Thursday-Saturday, and probably 10:00 am - 7:00 pm roughly, but can anyone confirm this?

Generally varies per regional but this is about accurate.

Thursday is typically pretty sporadic. And frankly pretty boring to watch (other than maybe here in Week 1 where it gets boosted by being the first true taste of Logomotion).

Friday and Saturday are typically broadcast from sometime during opening ceremonies until the end of the awards for most events that are webcast.

Yup, since they are embedding a feed from another source, the only bandwidth you use is the bandwidth to load the iframes and the rest of the page.

I'll be waking up early tomorrow to start putting up feeds, they should start becoming available late tonight/early tomorrow (noon EST).


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 15:04.
