16h 2009 Stream

[commandermas]

This year we need your help. We are searching for someone, who can provide a stream for our 16h race. Everyone who is interested, may contact me per ICQ. My ICQ number can be found in my profile. MSN is also possible just pm me.

[hyntty]

I thought of showing preliminary interest to the subject, but I AM NOT GETTING ICQ just for that.

[commandermas]

ok, then how could we get in contact then? :D

[hyntty]

msn: my account name here @passport.com

ventrilo: vt.fragmaster.net:3922 (ventrilo://vt.fragmaster.net:3922/servername%3DFM%20Community&channelname=Live%20for%20speed/NDR)

or irc will do if you specify the channel-

[burnsy1882]

Contacted by PM.

[DeadWolfBones]

You might want to contact the nice guys at multibc.de :thumbsup:

[Gil07]

I believe Timo has a deal with multibc?

[hyntty]

Nowdays Everybody has.

For the record Gil, as I found out myself, they are not searching for people to provide streaming service, but people to run it / commentate.

That means: @DWB & Burnsy: You'll be up for the job right?

[commandermas]

if someone could do provide a stream too, that would be even better, so :D

[DeadWolfBones]

I could definitely have a go at commentating, stutter and all. :D

And I'm sure Passo/Deko would be interested, as usual.

[dekojester]

Race is in October ? Yeah, I should provisionally be free for it. Not sure about Passo.

Depends on what I've got going on job-wise, too

d

[dekojester]

I just a bit ago had an idea.

We have several people who are well capable of commentating, and streaming.

Could we get two or three streams, so we don't have to switch about as much ?

And it would mean that servers say, 1 and 2 get almost full coverage, and we have a 3rd provider switch between 3 and 4 or something like.

Just a thought. :scratchch

[commandermas]

the thought is not bad, so you could watch the stream from the server, on which your team is driving. But just find 3 groups that keep streaming for 16 hours each :D if you got three, tell me :D

[DevilDare]

Yeah that would be stella. Kind of disapointing last year only server 1 was streamed :shrug:

[Hypothraxer]

Yeah that would be stella. Kind of disapointing last year only server 1 was streamed :shrug:

All four servers were streamed last year - one server per hour. And the first two and last two hours were commentated (or was it the first and last four hours?).

[DevilDare]

Was it?

Hmmm, ok then :razz:

[Mp3 Astra]

I only watched a small part of the stream, but I do remember my name being mentioned as I parked my car in the pitlane as I went to have a sleep for the last couple of hours of the race...

[bjoerk]

Don't know if this is really the place to post it but i would love to comentate, i'm a dj at a local radio station and dj on TC radio (from TC server). Also i watch many races so i'm not talking bullsh*t and wont use foul words xD. And have many years of LFS experience :p.

PM me your msn or something :)

that would be a good idea... If you trust me enough, I would also commentate... I think I've done the job quiet well at the MoE24h^^ *self-confident*
stream 1: deko + passo + boothy + dwb
stream 2: falke + wilko + ....

I know I'm dreaming too much agian

[commandermas]

thing is, i am not the person to talk to for this :D

the46 asked me if they could broadcast the whole thing, and i only could say yes :D

so ask one of them if they are searching for more commentators

[Gil07]

That's a shame... Should have gone with NDR and multiBC I think.

[Deutschland2007]

But livestream.com has such a nice spam-friendly chat!:shy::D:D

[burnsy1882]

That's a shame... Should have gone with NDR and multiBC I think.
How exactly is that a shame?

[Deutschland2007]

How exactly is that a shame?

Livestream is often very laggy, and the quality of picture and sound are sometimes just awful.:x But as I said, the chat is nice.:tilt:

[burnsy1882]

It's only been laggy for me when I didn't have the correct settins for broadcasting, otherwise sometimes I find that LS and multi have about the same quality. Plus, LS is free, some people can't afford to pay.

[Mp3 Astra]

MultiBC has far superior quality to that of Livesteam. But Livestream's 'casual viewer' friendliness is better with the stream always being synchronised so the chat is always relevant. It's also easier to admin and insert commercial breaks into Livestream.

But MultiBC's quality and customer service wins in my book. Although, yes, you do have to pay.

[PMD9409]

Just give me some video and audio and I'm set. :)

[hariel-HUN-]

I was driving in the MMS Cup this year, which was broadcasted live by the46. IMO it wasn't the best. The commentators were good, but the interface they had is not so much. They are using a Macromedia/Adobe Flash system, so you get max 15 frames per second, which is quite bad.:Looking_a

[anttt69]

I would like to volunteer to commentate. Also where can i find quali info?

[Koa128]

All I can say is that The46 broadcasted the TBO Challenge this year and the quality was much more better than just 15 FPS, never missed any action in race and always funny and clever comentators, even good interviews to some drivers :thumb:

[joshdifabio]

Chris Wilkinson > the rest.

[Fuse5]

Naw, he is vulgar.

[dekojester]

Chris Wilkinson > the rest.

F**k off, you ! :haha:

Naw, he is vulgar.

+1. The censors here would love him, and so would the Funny Clown Company.

[oldnavy]

anyway his commentary is prety good, but there is TOO MUCH CHRIS! Oh no chris everywhere :O

[Deutschland2007]

Chris Wilkinson > the rest.

Yes, Wilko´s timeouts are legendary!:razz::D

[joshdifabio]

Chris is the Northern guy on the46 yea?

[boothy]

No that's John Hindhaugh, Chris is away doing ALMS.

[joshdifabio]

Well now I don't know what to believe!

Anyway, Vykos and the Northern guy who commentated on the TBO challenge are the best commentators imo - they don't often make mistakes but they still say enough to keep you interested.

[TFalke55]

Vykos is still here around... wow... I still remember him commentating the ESL races of the evening on a local television channal... and the thing was: He also raced in those races back then and comentated, eventhough he was part of the race, very neutral and clean :)

[Deutschland2007]

SK|Vykos & Wilko for commentary please :)

+1000 :thumb:

[Wilko868]

Chris Wilkinson > the rest.
Thank You :razz:

Naw, he is vulgar.

Never in a million years........

Yes, Wilko´s timeouts are legendary!

:doh:

[Timdpr]

Wilko! Wilko! Wilko!

Anyone that disagrees I'll twat up the arse!

[Mister Pino]

If you want good commentating then please go and watch the broadcasts of last years iTCC :bannana_p

[hyntty]

Since we're having a shouting contest here, I say PASSO AND BAWBAG FTW!

[TexasLTU]

Since we're having a shouting contest here, I say PASSO AND BAWBAG FTW!
Bawbag sounds like Stewie Griffin in TS, so I'd say -1. :tilt:

[CSF]

I suspect they will use Wilko and Felipe...

...

...

[PMD9409]

I see BB as a person to interview, unless you want him to commentate as he drives. :D

The usual commentators spread out with drivers to interview constantly would keep people entertained.

[Deutschland2007]

:doh:

I didn´t say you´re a bad commentator.:shy::D

[CSF]

I just hope if someone gets Vykos he doesn't start swearing like he did the IGTC round 3 broadcast we did together. :tilt:

[hyntty]

'****ing' and 'arse are not swearwords :really:

[CSF]

You missed the other one clearly. :D

Nothing beats your description of down force though Timo. :tilt: :shy: :thumbsup:

[hyntty]

1) That's how they describe every goddamn track in tv around here :gnasher:

2) I'm not a very good commentator

3)... nor a driver

4) Plus I didn't really know a rat's arse about the track. IIRC I didn't even remember if it was North or Historic of Aston.

:D

[Wilko868]

I could jabber on when i'm not in the middle of a stint.

[J@tko]

I suspect they will use Wilko and Felipe...

...

...
LOL. That would be interesting :tilt:

We should get duck to commentate. Anyway, isn't chris racing... :scratchch

EDIT: I missed a page of replies. Bollocks.

[dekojester]

Wilko is racing, but he can commentate when he's not. teh DWB did that a couple times in MoE last season.

:thumbsup:

[Koa128]

I would love to commentate, but i need a few more english classes :D

[oldnavy]

I would love to commentate, but i need a few more english classes :D
Then count me in too!

[zeugnimod]

Felipe and Timo FTW. :x :razz:

[Deutschland2007]

Felipe and Timo FTW. :x :razz:

Felipe and squassel ftw!:D

[DeadWolfBones]

I'm still down to help out.

Though given the46's no-show at the GT Series race, you may want to be looking for a backup broadcaster.

[Wilko868]

AFAIK Yannick has been having some internet troubles. I think it was Thursday he was getting the fixy man in, so let's see what happens first.

[Knight_Atack]

Finally I have the Interwebz at home. Quite happy now.

[XmaX]

Any News about the Livestream?

Max

[commandermas]

if i am informed correctly (i am very sure that i am :D) we will have a stream.

I will post a Link asap.

[Knight_Atack]

Here is a note to teams.

If you would like to have a promo/ad video for your team aired during the broadcast, please PM me a link to its download. You have until this Friday night to PM those videos. I would also ask you to keep them under 1 minute, as small a filesize as possible, and as much as possible refrain from using copyrighted music (music you do not own the license to use).

Thanks!

[buck77]

any news on that?
the race is tomorrow! \o/

since APRIL waiting for that moment to come! and here we are...

[Knight_Atack]

Yup yup yup! Can't wait. We are in final preparations.

[hariel-HUN-]

It's almost confirmed, that our company will support the46 for the 16h broadcast.
For the support we got two commercial spots during the race, right before the start, and just after the finish.

I've uploaded the commercial to youtube, so you can see it even before the race:

Enjoy!

[fireb0llch]

@Knight_Atack: you got a pm ;)

[exspeed]

The currently running stream is really laggy but quality is fine. Can't get the lag off?

[Rubén M. (MEX)]

THIS YEAR NOT MADE A VIDEO PROMO FOR 16 HOURS AS DID THIS LAST YEAR?

It doesn't seem like lag to me. It seems more like the host machine is too slow.

[Fuse5]

What is it with this years stream, running too late with things?
Cause we've got a streamer who doesn't really know about streaming, and we've got the streamer and yannick commentating (the streamer does not know anything about the teams&drivers in the race, nor does he know anything about endurance racing :|)

NDR to the rescue, please?

[DevilDare]

Where is the stream at anyways?

Link please?

Edit: Dont worry. Found it.

Anyways, I can do some commentating if needed later on.

Yeah... :D

I heard chris was commentating anyway [aswell as racing]. JP is at a hand-egg game, and Timo is shooting people.

I know, just press "Products" in the top menu. The webiste is still WIP.

Hi guys,

i don't know whats wrong with this stream or streamclient, but it causes on all viewing clients about maximum CPU load on one core (eg. 100% if there is only one physical core)...

anything that we can do against this?

[commandermas]

try internetexplorer or a laptop :D

[Mojo1987]

Same @ internet explorer, but now its ok.

i think the problem was caused by the welcome screen. after the racestart the cpu drops down to normal load.

[XmaX]

Will be whole stream uploaded and released to download?

Max

[nikosk31]

will the stream be avaliable for download?

[hyntty]

. JP is at a hand-egg game, and Timo is shooting people.

Hand-egg?

And I didn't hit anyone for the record.

but you can kick the egg too... either as punt or as field goal attempt :D so it should be foot'n'hand-egg

[buck77]

and it should be foot'n'hand-ball as well, due to through-ins! :D

[Fuse5]

Limb-ball & limb&egg then. All sorted.

[XmaX]

Will be whole stream uploaded and released to download?

Max

Would someone answer my question instead of talking about eggs and balls ?:D

[Knight_Atack]

It will eventually. We are redoing our whole on-demand system, so hang in there :) We will inform you when the conversion is complete.

[XmaX]

Ok thank you :) Thats enough, too watch it on your page ;)
