I would like to apologize to all the TSL fans for the issues with the Ro16 stream today. We wanted to provide a way for everyone who had issues with Windows Media Player to be able to view the stream using MS Silverlight media player, which works 100% reliably. Except, Silverlight did not work with our stream software (VLC). I wrote a replacement media server in the time between the qualifiers and the Ro16 and it tested great and seemed to be a perfect replacement, working in VLC, WMP, Silverlight, etc.
Unfortunately when it went live under the pressure of the TSL viewers, the media server randomly exited without any kind of error message. Additionally, one of our streaming servers had connectivity issues to the Internet.
The delay was caused by my trying to fix the stream server, and then making the decision to revert to our old VLC streaming setup, which required some time to revert to due to changes to our load balancer code.
Again, my apologies, I will try my best to figure out what went wrong and fix it for future casts.

No problem, doesn't matter how late we watch the games, as long we get to watch them :D

R1CH, you do so much for the TL community that we just love you for being such an awesome guy and coder in the first place. You're not doing this for money, and you're just coding all of this in your spare time, so no problem man.

Stream is working amazingly well though, really enjoying it. Just one problem and that's basically a ~3 sek sound delay.
|
Thank you for the explanation and hard work. We're happy with whatever you give us and quite frankly the old VLC streaming setup is still awesome :-)

I'm not having any sort of sound delay.
nm a bit of one now

audio is not in sync with video.
it was pretty bad in game 2 (i believe it was) but its better now.
Seems to get worse as the game progress.
EDIT: Seems to be in sync now, GJ and thanks!

you rock Rich, don't listen to the haters

Dude, it's cool! Don't stress yourself over it either. As long as we get to watch it sooner or later; doesn't matter to me!
|
Awsome stream man ;], awsome quality, no lag at all :}.
|
I don't think there is a reason for apologizing. We, the fans, have to thank you, R1ch, and the whole teamliquid team for providing us this great event. Some occuring problems are no big deal at all. So thank you for your hard work, I really appreciate it.
|
I don't understand any of the technical shit you said, but it doesn't bother me at all if there's a delay, it's still the most professional foreign tournament and broadcast of all time
|
Sorry guys! We try to improve with every cast that's all we can promise at this point.
|
Just wanted to say thank you to all the TL staff involved in this to make it such a interesting and smooth event. Delays such as this today don't matter much, keep it on.
|
<3 R1ch some things just run different then expected so no worries :D
|
R1CH don't feel bad. You're a great guy that has been doing so many great things for TL since well forever, basically like charity work. Your commitment to SC and this site are often overshadowed by other mods in the spotlight, but you're always doing an awesome job!
Besides, what would a TSL cast be without some kind of delay? 
Cheer up, continue doing the awesome things you do here, and Thank you for your hard effort!
|
You have nothing to apologise for. We're paying nothing for this, and the stream was excellent once it got going. Thanks so much.
