Thank you for the broadcasting :thumb:

[Michel 4AGE]

Hm I'm trying it too with VLC. But I only get sound for exactly 2secs then the timer keeps running but no sound anymore. :shrug:

Doesn't work at all with Winamp for me, latest version.

[baSh0r]

i have got sound but no video

[StableX]

works great in winamp for me (older version).

[Lotesdelere]

Works fine here with VLC v0.9.0 nightly build (http://nightlies.videolan.org) :thumb:
You may want to try this direct URL with both VLC and Winamp:
http://main.pecstv.hu:6666/;stream.nsv

I've seen an advert about Colin McRae DiRT but I couldn't understand a single word, I believe the language used is Hungarian/Magyar ?

Yeah, they broadcast mostly hungarian league races with hungarian commentary, but this time they will try to do it in english, so get ready :D

[CarstenH]

very nice! thanks for it :)

[The General Lee]

Both works fine for me :D

Shame I'm out tonight :(

Will there be highlights?

[troy]

when does it start?

i didn't see a time mentioned in the first post, now they just stream some vids?

[RevengeR]

It will be live, so starts when the race does ;)

[CarstenH]

In the switzerlands it will be 22`00 o clock.

[seldon]

[baSh0r]

i have got no video. just sound...

[RevengeR]

i have got no video. just sound...
Works fine for me with vlc player.

[baSh0r]

i install klite codec pack then i'll try again. what version of VLC do you have?

edit: codec pack installed. and again just sound

edit: works Oo suddenly

[RevengeR]

i install klite codec pack then i'll try again. what version of VLC do you have? 0.90?
0.86c, without any plus codecs.

[Lotesdelere]

i install klite codec pack then i'll try again. what version of VLC do you have?

edit: codec pack installed. and again just crappy sound ! what the hell...
VLC uses its own codecs so installing a codec pack is useless.

Assuming you are running Windows XP, close VLC and delete the VLC preferences folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<your username here>\Application Data\VLC

Delete this whole VLC folder and try again.

[AstroBoy]

I can hear and see fine atm watching some Aston Racing lol :) cant wait for BOTT lol to bad it keeps buffering :(

[RevengeR]

Enjoy some hardcore AI race :D

[Dennis93]

hmm , its very laggy ?

[DeadWolfBones]

Looks like the stream bit it. I'm getting an ICY 401 error.

[Hawku]

What's the password for that stream? Vlc keeps asking that :/

[DANDAMAN05]

yeah same here... requires some log in details...

[troy]

if you go on the shoutcast server page you will see that the server is down atm :)

http://main.pecstv.hu:6666/

edit: its up again

[BurnOut69]

Fantastic work Arrow :thumb:

btw: I've made a #bott channel in gamesurge irc server if someone feels like chit chatting about the race :)

[baSh0r]

are you looking for a commentator for tonight? i have some time just have to look after my team sometimes ^^

[RevengeR]

Live broadcast is available now:thumb:

ps> just some testing, sry :D

[Davo]

I don't mean to sound harsh but this blows. I can't get more than 0.5 seconds of stream before it cuts out. Not downloading or uploading anything at all, so is someone hosting this on their home connection or something?

[troy]

works very well here, i guess its the routing for you, hungary to aussie is quite a big distance :)

[baSh0r]

this can be. in germany it's fine too

[Davo]

Yes could be distance, but should be good to Spain too and same problem there :(

Server down?

[mixer13134]

Doesn't work here too. :(

[RevengeR]

Should be working for everyone now..

[mixer13134]

Yup, works, nice. :)

[baSh0r]

works very good. if you are interested in a commentator write me a pm

[SpikeyMarcoD]

Is there a link for the live timing?

[DeadWolfBones]

Getting constant 99% buffering with video but no sound. Looks good, though. :D

[SpikeyMarcoD]

OK found the link it was name test before now i see it ok.

[Töki (HUN)]

Broadcast works fine for me, using Winamp v5.35
Gogogo ASR guys, beat 'em all!!! :thumb:

[arco]

Show a little inboard camera and different angles, so there's a little variation. :)

[Töki (HUN)]

I'm afraid ZODhog, who is making the broadcast, can't read it now, because now WE can see what he sees :) Of course he won't start surfing on the web

[arco]

Of course, but maybe someone has a direct connection to him... :)

[SpikeyMarcoD]

anybody also has garbled vision?

[ChristijaNL]

anybody also has garbled vision?

Yep :(

[baSh0r]

ehm lol

[ChristijaNL]

getting better (see pic) :razz:

[SpikeyMarcoD]

Just if ppl did not know this LFS world facility put this next to the screen of ASR TV (also handy for that commenator if he has 2 screens).

[DeadWolfBones]

Great job, ASR guys!

[Attila]

Thanks for the broadcast, good job. :thumb:

[Kdovi]

It was nice.
I hope there will be broadcast for next race too and I'll catch the start :thumb:

[SpikeyMarcoD]

Nice especially with LFSworld on side.
A tip for them also if they can get 2 screens going. Positions are clearer and frequently updated.

Good job! Loved it Better then cityleague broadcast on Game-TV, if you ask me

[Tube]

any chance to get this as a downloadable file?

[RevengeR]

any chance to get this as a downloadable file?
Yep, if im correct, its in progress.

[arco]

Thanks for a great broadcast! Had no serious problems with the stream really, just some occasional rebuffering. Good job ASR guys! And the english was fine. :)

[BenjiMC]

it was buffering every minute in VLC player for me so i changed to winamp and it worked fine.

[arco]

Yep, I used winamp as well.

[Arrow.]

Thanks to ASR for the broadcasting.
Sounds like it worked well! top job :thumb:

just waiting for a download :smileypul

[ZODhog]

Thanx guys. It was very hard to me... :) Next time we try to find better commentator! :D

After one week you can download it from advancedsimracing.com (i hope) :D

[Tube]

It's always hard, anybody who didn't host an internet broadcast before cannot nearly imagine how hard :)

[Arrow.]

After one week you can download it from advancedsimracing.com (i hope) :D

Ok cool,
Just wonder how many people tuned in?

[RevengeR]

Ok cool,
Just wonder how many people tuned in?
The broadcast had a peak of 64 listeners, and around 50 constantly.

[Dragonmen]

I did some comentating on live TV brodcasting of LFS races (open Serbian C'ship), so I know how it is from commentating side.
And it was a long race too!

My connection is to weak for stream but I sure am looking forward for DL.

Keep on with the good job!

[Koopa]

Teamm8 of mine found that the quality of the stream was not very good, bad viewing quality, Masters of Endurance had a better quality stream...

[Töki (HUN)]

Not really, I think the quality was waay better then the MoE stream had. That was too laggy for me, that's why I couldn't watch it...:)

BTW better quality needs more bandwith... OR would you rather wait while buffering? I don't think so :thumb:

[r4ptor]

As much as I appreciate broadcasts, I would rather not watch at all if the visual quality was too poor.

[Koopa]

Following my teamm8, who was on the broadcast, it was no way near the MoE stream... I understand that you need to make a compromise, in quality, but id rather see a good stream then a poor quality stream were you coudnt see who was who... :scratchch

Dunno how the MoE guys did it but, i enjoyed that stream very much in the last season... It was live and no buffering and the resolution was quite big, so i dont know how they do it, but maybe you guys can talk with then and find out?? :thumb:

Also the stream was only on 1 server, why not change to different servers under racing??? Especially on server 2 there were major fights for positions. @ MoE they changed servers very freakently.

Anyways MoE stream is the daddy in the live coverage streams sofar... Id appreciate that there is even a stream for BoTT, but it can be so much better then yesterday... Ok maybe the guys are limited in bandwith but like i said before... Id prefer a good one, id agree with raptor.

[RevengeR]

Dunno, but the moe stream wasnt much better, tbh, they were quite the same imo.
Im sure quality could be raised, but it really depends on the listeners' number. Still, as for the first live stream by ASR, it was more than enjoyable.

[joshdifabio]

Also the stream was only on 1 server, why not change to different servers under racing??? Especially on server 2 there were major fights for positions. @ MoE they changed servers very freakently.

Masters of Endurance only uses 1 server, I think you may be thinking of the ZT hosted 24 hour race.

[SpikeyMarcoD]

See they are running a rerun...

[ZODhog]

Hey Guys. Some pretty good news from
ASR TV. We have got a new commentator.
Marius 'squasseL' Golombeck. He is from Team Inferno and
will broadcast server one. Do you want to submit informations about your team? New drivers ? New Skins? Do you want us to refer to your team?
Write squasseL a mail to "squassel@teaminferno.de" or write him in MSN before the race "mariusgolombeck@hotmail.de".

[arco]

Sounds good ZODhog.

There's some team info here (http://battleoftheteams.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=4&id=13&Itemid=40) if it helps.
