Red Cast Really Sucks

[Chris '03]

What gets me most this year is that the archiving is worse than ever. There are literally two archived videos from the fall season. One of which is the Princeton sprint game that was unwatchable. At least in the past there was a reasonable expectation that if you miss a game you can watch it later. I have little faith that will be the case this year.

7:04 and no Redcast.  Business as usual.

No audio, no video, nothing.  The usual.  Congrats. Consistency year to year.

Stats do work though.

I "contacted" Sidearm at 6:40 and they said the game starts at 7.  Then they put up an "announcement" to that effect on the Redcast page.  7:08 and still no audio or video.

Funny I never get this wretched service when I watch away games at other schools' webcast providers (e.g., Bucknell football).

are you guys getting the stupid subscription ordering popup every time you click on the video box for the under 18 game?

No.  That might even be progress!::help::

I had problems watching soccer at Colgate.  No video until about 20 min into the game after we had scored a goal.  Must be an upstate NY sidearm phenomenon.

This is indemic of how companies are run in this country today.  Do you think they even tried this service out before tonight?  Year after year sidearm gets paid, why?

[flyersgolf]

Well it finally came on.  Very jittery picture.

Hey at least I can watch on my ipad this year! Video quality is above average through quiktime.

(never mind -- got it)

Just viewing the new interface for the first time.  Is it possible get the video to be full screen?  I can get the redcast page to be full screen, but half of it is stats  

(Not sure if it's worth it to watch the video anyway -- the zamboni has been jumping around the rink.)

click the box with red arrows in the lower right corner

Brown football webcast started on time.  No choppiness. Plenty of replays.  Fair picture quality.  Excellent sound.  Announcers not too annoying.  And for $8 you can watch all day.  [Soccer after football today.]
