game video

anyone else find it annoying that there is no clock in the video feed?

Yes.

I keep a running tally in my head.

Does anyone know if redcast supports an audio only feed? I'm not sure if the hotel's internet is going to be able to support a continuous video stream.

Does anyone know why the audio volume is so hard for them to keep constant? Do they have a monkey running around in the media box, ripping cables out and clawing at knobs?

the rally monkey needs an offseason job. who are you to judge?

I think that because it's the pregame, the guys in the box have other things going on, so they aren't paying attention to the audio on the feed.

I wish they had a non flash option.. I find myself out wanting to listen/watch often where WHCU doesnt come in and cell phones dont do well with this option. I emailed the sidearm crew and the cornellbigred.com site (jh295@cornell.edu)

they really need a better quality feed for video and audio, a non flash based solution, and an audio only feed.. all simple to to do if they care.

had a conversation with the CU rep.. his comment were that this is the highest quality video around. (which I find hard to believe). also that they have never had anyone ask for an audio only feed.

he also says that flash is the media of choice for collegese.. without realizing how much it limits its use.

Did anybody else have their video freeze shortly after Cornell tied the game at 3?

I've been freezing randomly all night, twice right before Cornell scored.

I'm sure Apple fanbois are annoyed that it won't work on their precious iPhones, but no matter how proprietary it is, Flash is currently the best cross-platform solution for streaming video. I say this with some authority, working in the field as I do.

it also wont work on windows mobile phones or stream to most gane player browsers either. the flash was written in flash 10 so it likely never will. it doesnt help they APP they ave written doesnt allow scaling of the window size or forward and backward scrolling easily.

(1) No one uses Windows Mobile.
(2) Why should I have sympathy for WM users when I don't have sympathy for the much more numerous iPhone users?

or stream to most gane player browsers either.

Translate to english, please. Can't figure it out from the context.

Flash is not the culprit here: bad application developers are. They'd screw it up no matter what platform they used.

What platform would you like to see used for streaming video? You let me know, and I'll tell you what's wrong with it. I am not saying Flash is ideal, just that it is the best of a plethora of poor choices.

Everyone I know has a windows mobile phone or a blackberry that has a data plan. I personally know of no-one who has an Iphone. I sure wouldnt give up my phone for an Iphone..


If you want to watch/listen on iphone/ windows phones/ Ps3/Wii you are out of luck with flash.

I dont know what the answer is.. I do know that the solution before we got this one supported all those platforms..

Cornell's partners really should be supporting handheld mobile devices.

It's easy to find fault with the audio, frozen video, and crappy instant [sic] replay, but we've come a long way in 5 years. Just not far enough.

FWIW, I agree with you that I personally preferred the previous solution. But Flash is the best overall solution because it causes the least problems for providers and users by integrating the controls with the streaming client: if you have working Flash, you will have access to all the content, and most users are watching on a computer and have Flash.

Flash is currently bad on the margins (e.g., cell phones), but given how much rich content is available only through Flash, bitching at your provider to get Macromedia to support Flash on your platform is going to solve more problems than, and be less futile than, trying in vain to get Cornell to bend over backwards to support your phone.

cornell could always just push the content out to justin.tv for free. Money seems to be the major issue. I wonder just how much cornell is losing in this deal?

I watched about 20 minutes of the women's volleyball game. It must be a godsend if you're a parent or sibling of a player and can't make it to Ithaca. That has to be revenue negative - viewers relative to how many people buy a package because of, say, volleyball. I bet it's one of the things schools have to do to be competitive in recruiting.
