Thanks for watching everyone! Sorry about the issues at the start of the game.

We would never turn down a donation ::innocent:: Donations are probably going towards a new streaming server for transcoding live video to more bitrates.

Nope. Black screen.
But, thanks for the attempt.
Great picture & sound on the laptop.
It freezes quite a bit, but hey...it's free!!

::banana::

That I did fix. If you refresh, it should work much better. A lot of people are having issues with the automatic bitrate switching. Sorry! I'm not sure about the iPad thing. I will have to track one down and do some more testing.

Quote from: mackek2My official answer is yes, iOS devices will work tonight for the first time. My actual answer: we shall find out together :)

All I have to test is an old iPod touch running iOS 4.2. If anybody with a different device wants to check to see if it will work, try this link.

EDIT: Link doesn't work yet, I just pushed my site update about 10 minutes ago, and am waiting for it to finish regenerating all of the thumbnails so I can restart the application.

Yep. Says HTML5 not properly encoded. HTML5 should be the nuts, if it works.

::dribble::

It *SHOULD* work now, depending on how new your device is (if it supports High profile H264). I don't have enough cpu power to encode any more additional streams, so I can't create lower profile transcodes :(.

Quote from: mackek2I hope I am not breaking any rules or sacred traditions by starting a thread, but I wanted to let everyone who wasn't going to the hockey game know that we will be streaming the game tomorrow. The game is free, and is going to be here starting at 6:45pm. Plase feel free to share the link; the more the merrier. Maybe we can show you a thing or two about doing streaming right :-D

The trick is convincing my parents that having a computer at the dinner table streaming Cornell hockey is indeed proper etiquette. In case my parents go all "Miss Manners" on me, will there be an archived version of the game available later in the evening? Stupid Redcast does not yet the Cornell-Union game archived yet.

Looking forward to RPI's videocast. As Trotsky said, we would LOVE to have you stream Cornell games.

I've been trying to get a basic copy of the live stream up right after the game - tonight's is actually higher quality then live, but there is a bunch of time at the beginning of the clips, they haven't been edited yet. Also, depending on what time I wake up in the morning, I *might* have DVR setup.

The streaming is actually the easy part - I graduated last year, and I haven't been within 180 miles of for any of the hockey games, and I manage the streaming remotely. Its the crew that does the actual production that is the hard part. It would be awesome if if Cornell were to have a student run TV organization - Cornell has the student base to support one, and it would be great to have another group to work with. We do a lot of our own development in house, like our instant replay and graphics, and it would be perfect to collaborate with another engineering school on projects.

I hope to talk to some of you in the chat tomorrow; here's to a good game!

Quote from: ursusminorFWIW, RPI-TV will be live streaming all RPI home games for free this season.

That's worth at least $7 for the fans who will watch. More importantly, the gold standard in ncaa hockey streaming gets to broadcast games live again.

But free is better. :)

As students come and go, the quality could change. If the director who decides which camera should be on shown at any given time is not that good, the product could deteriorate. It certainly has been excellent in recent years.

Actually, the way we pick crew is more along the lines of, "Who wants to direct this game?" and "Who wants to be one which camera?" A couple of us who put a lot of effort into making our productions as proffessional as possible did graduate this year, but I think we left things in good hands. Also, I am still a bit involved, even 200 miles away. I am setting up and managing the the streaming this year.

Thanks everyone for all of your kind words over the past few years. We never did post anything here, but we have kept an eye on the posts and we appreciate all the nice things you have to say about us. :)

Quote from: Chris '03I presume no Redcast for the playoffs again this year?

I don't know about individual first round or quarterfinals, but I am gong to hint that the Championship games may be the best 'made for internet streaming' broadcast the ECAC has ever seen. I should be able to release more details in the next couple of days.
