[CarstenH]

Hello Live for Speed Community,
The Electronic Sports League is proud to announce the broadcast of the German Live for Speed Final on the stage of ESL Sports. The “ESL Sports Racing Championship” is the highest Live for Speed League in Germany, so nice fights and close Racing is preassigned. ESL TV is an own TV Station of the biggest eSports Company(ESL) in Germany, that will broadcast the Event on Monday, 10.11 from 17:30 to 19:30 German Time. (16:30 to 18:30 UTC) The best 6 Drivers from the current season are invited to the ESL TV studio to drive offline against the other 14 Drivers online. The Stream will be in German but I think you will also enjoy the pictures of this fantastic Racing show!

to 1: Danny wasnt motivated enough to continue with Live for Speed so he didnt do any race in this season :(

to 2: Yes, there will be an VOD (Video on Demand) after the Show in the comming days! I will post the Link here when its ready.

[CarstenH]

6 Minutes to the start!
If you have problems write them down here or visit the FAQ on the ESL side.

[Profi]

Uh-oh, a linux newbie here... :)

I'm trying to launch an external player here with this tutorial http://octoshape.com/plugin/linux.asp

It tells me to go here (http://octoshape.com/play/play.asp?os=linux) to get the XYZ.xyz for my ./OctoshapeClient -url:XYZ.xyz but I can't find your stream on that list. Could you tell me what I should be putting in there?

[NotAnIllusion]

Johannes was unstoppable in sprint :thumbsup:

[Sir moi 407]

Is it me or there is a FXR winning?:schwitz:
EDIT: The FZR have a power restriction or some weight?

[NotAnIllusion]

It's a long race :p

edit: Neeeeeiiiinnn!!11 Marco!

[R.Kolz]

Dear God. Please give this FXR a race win. :tilt: :thumbsup:

[hyntty]

... I'm not going to bother gettin any octoshape crap (since so many people have announced it to be completely rubbish, other reasons may vary). It's not like you're going to get more viewers than a regular stream server could handle

[Fuse5]

then why to post here at all, Timo?
If you aren't bothered to watch.
If you have a grudge against octoshape, then just don't.

[hyntty]

you're just crumpy because I said (in the other thread) that it was your fault

And secondly, I'm just giving feedback. Ever heard of Usability Heuristics?

[Fuse5]

firstly, no. I read that topic right after i had posted here.
And I'm not bothered about it.

secondly, no. And this is really the wrong place to give feedback about octoshape. and that wasn't even constructive feedback :P

[DeadWolfBones]

No problems with octoshape here. good race so far. :thumbsup:

[DeadWolfBones]

Ouch, that hurt. Good thing SK has like 20 other cars out there. :smileypul

[rediske]

I love the program, pure quality commentators!!! :thumb:

ot: as long as I get a non-lagging stream, I don't care if it's penta- hexa- or octoshape which does the job... :)

[Profi]

Octoshape seems to work nicely, all those Counter-Strike streams run flawlessly. Wish I just got that bloody channel name for the ESL stream... :shrug:

[hyntty]

Urgf! Dats a nasty crash.

What's with everyone crashing? Nervous bout the money?

[NotAnIllusion]

Lol, plenty of drama for both the c'ship leaders :D

[rediske]

I'd rather say it's creepy camera-crews watching over their shoulders in the game room... :schwitz:

[DeadWolfBones]

That corner exit following the chicane is always difficult. Zock's spin exiting T1 was just a bit of brainfade though.

[DeadWolfBones]

Did Tobias just give up there at the end?

[eckh1]

Thought it was live broadcast, but then noticed none of the guys are't online. Then checked last race results and all excitement was gone :shrug::D:D

[NotAnIllusion]

Overall, great racing. Very exciting to watch :)

[rediske]

Thought it was live broadcast, but then noticed none of the guys are't online. Then checked last race results and all excitement was gone :shrug::D:D

good for you that you didn't tell results half an hour ago... :)

I liked the show! we want more!

[Bawbag]

Thought it was live broadcast, but then noticed none of the guys are't online. Then checked last race results and all excitement was gone :shrug::D:D


Me too, also wondered why Zock was on MSN. :D

[hyntty]

Me too, also wondered why Zock was on MSN. :D

And didn't dare to disturb him? :D

Nice broadcast fellas, Bis zum nächsten mal! :thumb:

[Fuse5]

Lol, Marco killed the excitement for us on IRC. He told that he made the fastest lap on lap 23. pfft.

That's, after i had realized that he wasn't racing, cause he was chatting.
And he forgot his keyboard to Cologne
And the cup/vase looks silly :)

[CarstenH]

Did Tobias just give up there at the end?
He had to safe fuel at the end. Otherwhise he wouldnt have finished.

Yep, it was an record ;) But we wanted to keep all details secret, to have the tension up for the spectators.

I hope you enjoyed the show, even that it just was an record.

[Fuse5]

Heh, obviously i did. I was just joking with that. Some quality racing with tension til the end. Massive.

[rediske]

...if anyone might have a link to the replays and/or the tv-tool they were using please? :tilt:

[DeadWolfBones]

Too bad for Tobias. Woulda been cool to see a FXR win.

Were the FZRs intake-restricted or something?

[CarstenH]

No restrictions ;)

[CarstenH]

Here the Video on Demand:

Watch it! :)

[hyntty]

http://tv.esl.eu/de/vod/view/20945



You must log in?

[CarstenH]

think so :(
You can also create an account at esl.eu and then switch to the ESL TV site.
I think you will find a solution ;)

[rediske]

You must log in?

consider yourself lucky, three years ago you would have had to pay for it. (even for a rerun)

[Fabri91]

I'll be too (if I remember to)!:trampolin

I didn't remember.:x

[St4Lk3R]

I didn't remember.:x
:P

few posts above is the link to our VoD. Enjoy! :-)

...if anyone might have a link to the replays and/or the tv-tool they were using please? :tilt:
TV tool? we used LFS TV Director (Server + GUI on two different PCs). Thanks to Soeren for that tool btw, worked great!

[AndRand]

No restrictions ;)
no XRRs :shrug:

what I was was missing, as always in LFS race coverage, is info on damage and tyre temps (I dont use LFS TVD and dont if it can operate not in shift+f mode) after some accidents or slide, and race standings always visible with name of the driver with focus on.

I dont understand much of German so I dont know what was the reason of Tobias slow run at the end nor his laptimes.

great coverage though, good to have esports login to have more of this :thumb:

[CarstenH]

He had to safe fuel at the end. Otherwhise he wouldnt have finished.


I already posted the reason above :)

[rediske]

...another thing about the coverage, which I liked a lot, was that instead of telling people which driver had what different coloured (tiny) mirrors to identify them, it would have been a lot easier to press 'n' every now and then. :shrug:

not possible when using tv director :shrug:

[rediske]

not possible when using tv director :shrug:

that explains it thx, I thought they were :pillepall

[AndRand]

traditional race coverages have it done by race standings on side and name of the driver focused on (nice switching from driver to driver by LFS TVD :thumb:) - I dont think much more is needed, I thought TVD is flexible in listings display options.

What would be great, is slowmo replays - as I know, LFS TVD judges distances to spot the action so all the incidents would be recorded. Hard to spot on accidents when alone but esports can use traditional slowmo replays. (I think there is possibility to connect TVD GUI to several instances to provide several streams). BTW, it looked like the bigger .mpr the lower smoothness :smileypul

there's somekind of Live Replay Tool... Becky spoke about it in the oneGP Live broadcasting thread

[CarstenH]

good to know about that :)
Maybe there will be an add on or something else in the future.
