Good to know it's not just happening to me.
video just started working for me, kinda choppy though
[quote MB]Good to know it's not just happening to me.[/quote]
That's better. Audio and video working fine now at 6:45PM.
Yeah, same. It's coming through in 5-10 second bits.
Oh hey, you're in the cube next to me.
Audio dropped out about a minute ago, but video still coming in fine.
Ugh...yup. Terrible delay.
Nice that Cornell's fees are non-renewing.
Site came up quickly on Media Player 10. Video fine. Audio comes and goes ... but then you notice audio glitches more than video glitches (eg momentary freezes).
Even if the quality still leaves much to be desired, at least the tenor is: Thanks for signing up, friend. Here are some things to know. Here are some things that might go wrong. Here's how you may be able to fix them.
And tech support got back to me within minutes about the original video problems - now let's see if they can fix the audio. I'm really only getting a total of about 2 seconds of audio every minute.
Audio quality sucks...in addition to the choppiness.
6:54 pm - the image is pretty dark. Are all the lights on? With a cheap camcorder or digital camera (costly ones too) they see a lot of white ice and figure it's neutral gray on average, darkening the overall image.
also nice to not be locked into Windows
the FAQ only speaks to Windows/Mac... but the feed came right up on my Ubuntu Linux box using the default Totem plugin (which probably isnt the best but is working for now)
Just spent 35 bucks on this redcast thing and it sucks as many of you are indicating.
Hello Jacob,
Sorry for the inconvenience. But it seems to be streaming problems at
Cornell end.
ICS Tech Support
Thats the response I got after e-mailing about the problems.
choppiness + weird sound = not fun
Something that sounds vaguely like "Davey" is playing ... played by helium-sucking Martians using kazoos. Sheesh, the audio is execrable.
At least you have audio.
Someone else do a complaint about the sound, they tend to respond pretty quickly so hopefully it'll get fixed.
[quote DisplacedCornellian]choppiness + weird sound = not fun[/quote]
But par for the course, sadly.
I did. They responded the same way; I replied, asking if someone at the Cornell end had been notified of the problem and if anybody is working on it.
I hear the national anthem. Not sure which one.
Let's hope the choppy feed is inversely proportional to the Big Red effort on ice tonight. :-}
are others having trouble with the video, too? I know the sound is crappy, but my video works in 2 second bursts.
And I've lost everything. Stuck on buffering.

You're saying: 9-0, Big Red?
Ooooh, it just came back and its been running for at least 30 seconds without a break!
Totally ohymgawd - there's a scoreboard overlay on the live video feed. What's next - high-def?
Sound now on, though not great - video running smoothly.
FWIW, I got very poor performance (5-10 seconds, followed by pause, followed by 5-10 seconds, etc.) with VLC under Linux. In Windows Media Player 11, the video and audio are both fine. YMMV.
Kyle
Video quality *much* better and clearer than either I2sports or CSTV. And yes, the overlay is a nice touch.

It doesn't have a PP countdown timer, though.

And peel me some grapes.
Krueger looks to be skating well, good puck handling.
Some stuff happens just off range of the camera. Cornell camera guy would benefit from a widescreen camera. 16:9 is standard. 32:9 may be what we need.
And just when it was fine for 10 minutes, the video starts to cut out again. I guess the "technician" went on break?

Try stopping and restarting your video, fixed it for me earlier and i'm going fine now.
How did Scali not score that?
Wow, they look terrible.
Video's been pretty good for me. I've had maybe 2 minutes of bad video over the 24 I've been watching. They're already doing better than CSTV at that rate.
Kyle
Seminoff comes very close short-handed...good effort
Another scramble in front of the net with no result.
Real nice shift by Sawada there.
Four nice opportunities in front of the Princeton net first 18 minutes and ... nada.
Some good hustle out there, but it just doesn't look like they're on the same page yet.
Got better towards the end but this team is going to struggle badly to score goals.
Someone want to take over updating the game thread? I've gotta run to meeting I already delayed so I could watch the first period...smart idea that was.
I guess since I have the power to edit your posts, I will.
When did the skating bear reappear? Woohoo!
Thanks...I assumed you were too busy being fed grapes ;)

Someone at Redcast not paying attention; PP slug still up after penalty expired.
They look good to start the period.

Those are the kinds of goals you *need* to get, but not the kinds of goals you *want* to get. You want goals that you can set up and predict. This goal is fortunate, but does not positively or negatively affect my impression of the team.

Awesome takeaway by Topher to tie the score. Bad news: The Cornell Goal graphic with the bear mascot every time we score.
Replay, please, Cornell.

My point, Mr. Howard, is that you don't want to pass up those opportunities... but they don't come along often, so you can't depend on them. You need to work to score consistently; you're not always going to have gifts thrown at you.
Kyle
Second pass post was clear. You're right.
Davenport doesn't look terribly comfortable handling the puck...
Audio, video much better in the second period. Could it be this is an analog feed? If it were, that would explain everything. Maybe the vacuum tubes take 40 minutes to warm up. Maybe there was moisture in the repeater/amplifiers.
Crappy as the feed was, it's still pretty magical to be sitting hundreds of miles away and still able to stay in touch. God bless this Internet thing.
Got it the video working through some step-skipping wizardry. Man, player interviews make me uncomfortable.

Agree, but I have to say, that last penalty kill was pretty refreshing.
Outstanding play by Nash to set up the goal. Maybe this is the jump start we needed.
Nice shift by Nash. He actually held onto the puck while allowing time for something to develop. Radical concept.
Scali has absolutely gotta cash in on those. Two blown chances tonight for him.
bleh
Extremely soft goal. Scali and Davenport the goats tonight.
Brutal goal off of a bad center ice giveaway ... looks a little too reminiscent of 06-07.
Gonna be a very very long year for this team.

Even someone as knowledgeable as Ari can get spoiled, and I agree it's a bit early to dismiss the season. But it was Princeton, and we were at home.
On the other hand, the last time we opened the season with two losses (2000-01), they were to Sacred Heart and Union, neither one any better than Princeton is now - and we still managed to get to the ECAC finals that year. I saw a fair number of good things going on tonight, flashes of potential. The next few games will be very telling, but I liked their effort.
[quote Beeeej]The next few games will be very telling, but I liked their effort.[/quote]
I too liked their effort. The team just doesn't have the talent IMO. I like that this group seems to be more blue collar and hard working compared to last year but there is no depth and very little top end talent. It'll be an easier team to cheer for than last season but I think there will be less for which to cheer.

That's really my point. If we were truly outplayed I would have real concern, but it's apparent we have some talent on this team. If Scali puts in the puck in the third period (I don't know how he didn't score on the play), we're probably talking about a gritty comeback win.
Talk to me after ten games; then we can have a real sense of what we're looking at. Sure we'd love to be 2-0, but lets see what type of resilliency this team has.
[quote Al DeFlorio]Nice shift by Nash. He actually held onto the puck while allowing time for something to develop. Radical concept.[/quote]
He definitely showed some poise and hockey sense tonight.
Disappointing loss. The fluke 3rd goal really hurt, and Davenport didn't look very comfortable tonight. Refs didn't call holding, and there was plenty of it. We didn't get enough skaters in the slot during the best opportunities. Our PP was so-so. I'd like to see better puck movement. Riley Nash has shown good creativity on offense and will be fun to watch. Ray Sawada needs to take the puck to the net more. Tomorrow night, it will be crucial for us to get on the board early. LGR
[quote imafrshmn]Disappointing loss. The fluke 3rd goal really hurt, and Davenport didn't look very comfortable tonight.[/quote]
I'm not sure I'd call that a fluke. It was a low short-side shot from about the top of the right face-off circle with a defensman covering. I don't think Troy was screened, and he had time to see the play develop. I think he wasn't positioned correctly. Otherwise, I thought his positioning was good tonight, and he made some nice saves as a result.

I also thought Nash was good tonight - definitely Cornell's best offensive player tonight. Thinks the game at another level. He'll start to get some points when the guys on the ice with him figure out what he's doing.

The game was pretty even with Cornell getting the edge in chances. The issue is that they don't have the talent or they would have generated more chances and converted on more of the ones they had. Guys like Milo and Romano would have really changed things around for this team but instead, there are guys in scoring roles who are not suited for it. There is an average amount of talent on this team relative to the ECAC. I think they will show resiliency, but that doesn't make up for the fact that talent really isn't there at any position.

Bah. This team has oodles more talent at forward and defense than the championship teams of '96 and '97. Welcome to what it's like when a Cornell team doesn't have dominant goaltending. It happened last year, it happened in '99 and '00, and it happened from '93 to '95.
Hopefully Scrivens steps it up this year and becomes an Elliott figure, since he didn't really show much until his sophomore season either, even though he clearly had the natural capabilities. We need that: Davenport, to my eyes, continues to be unimpressive. Next year Garman comes in, and he's gotten good reviews, and I see Davenport playing a Skazyk role...
If Scrivens steps it up, this team is going to be a lot like '01, and we all know what happened in '02 and '03. I anticipate big things in the next two years.
[quote Scersk '97]If Scrivens steps it up, this team is going to be a lot like '01...[/quote]
...yup, that's the last Cornell team that opened with two Ls against perennially weak teams.

Exactly. There are other patterns at work. '01 was a young team: 5 workman-like seniors, some better juniors, very promising sophomores, and one spectacular freshman. With all that, they couldn't seem to figure out how to score goals, but they did, eventually, figure out how to keep pucks out of the net. They put together a nice run, somehow squeaked out a fourth seed, and almost won themselves a championship. St. Lawrence was one year removed from their Frozen Four (tm) run and was just too much.
I think this year's freshmen are more impressive than Vesce's class, that the sophomores are a bit less impressive (with Nash) than the class of '03 (what a class!), that the juniors are better than the class of '02, and that the seniors are better than the class of '01. I think this year's team will either be a replay of '01 or '02, but it all comes down to goaltending and the power play. Some members of this team also need to start playing with the fire we used to see from, say, the Abbotts, Cooney, and Hornby.
In the end, I'm expecting Clarkson to be too much this year, but any Clarkson fan would tell you never to bet against us in the tournament.
