i29 Live and Rocking

by TosspoT • 11 Nov 2006, 16:34 • News
image: 48568-47368-i29This weekend see's the 29th installment of Multiplay's iSeries tournament and with the Intel Extreme Gaming Championships underway, this cold weekend is being warmed by the lovely joy that is eSports!

One of the biggest features at the weekend's event is the Call of Duty tournament featuring a whole host of the UK's best talent. So far so good for the tournament favourites and the whole Dignitas team are here en masse with them just taking the NFS: Carbon tournament.

Also on site is Wolfenstein legend Sweden Ferus aka Firefinger playing for Reason Gaming in the Counter Strike Source £5000 tournament, his merry band of swedes having recently joined from dMIZE are favourites for the tournament and in good shape to take the £3000 first place prize!

You can follow the whole weekends action on Multiplay.co.uk with 2 P2P streams in 2 different bitrates. The video operation is being ran by a host of staff, featuring none other than former UK ET star Iain! (Yes he was a star, just ask genGz). Shoutcasting is brought to you by ReDeYe & TosspoT.

CrowFrag has a CoD tournament preview In the CoD section

Update
To aid and support multiplay in their testing of SOPCast we've embedded the stream here on Crossfire where the Quakecon documentary advert was placed. This software will likely be used at the Crossfire event, aided by any feedback you can provide us here on Crossfire (post them in the comments). Please bare with us during any inconvinience you may experience this weekend, knowing the end goal will benefit you in the long term and divert all whine in TosspoT's direction!

:: Mozilla FireFox Help

:: High Bitrate Live Stream using SOPCast
:: Low Bitrate Live Stream using SOPCast

Low Bitrate recommend for users with average home connections, similar to the UK with upload speeds of 256-756kbs, High recommended for Sweden good home connections 1MB+ upload.

Your descriptive feedback and assistance is greatly appriciated and will be rewarded with love.

Anyone in Europe having success w/ the video? Mine cannot buffer past 66%. I get some audio, with no picture. Of course, I'm guessing it's cause I'm the only guy trying to watch from the US :(

TosspoT 11 Nov 2006, 17:56

SOPCast is used globally for streaming of foreign TV chans, i.e. football games etc, so I would imagine it wouldnt have PC blowing up issues.

Lagger 11 Nov 2006, 19:25
that may be, but the popup is still annoying.

TosspoT 11 Nov 2006, 18:39

After messing with SopCast enuff... the best advise I can give is to just install the stand alone player and don't try to watch it via a webpage. The stand alone player lists all the channels and you can just fire into whichever you want. It's not only faster, but you don't get webpage crashes when you try to switch from one to another (which is what happens if you try to switch from hi stream to low stream in firefox).

cmon syk !! :D

SopCast on the front page needs to die. Just put a link to it, so we can see it in a standalone player or whatever.

Chak 11 Nov 2006, 19:21
It's kind of annoying having a big message pop up every time I load the main page telling me I don't have this thing installed when: a) I have no intention of installing it - any kind of p2p stuff gets me banned for a day on the uni network :) and b) I can't install it since there's no mac client/plugin for Safari.

maverick888 11 Nov 2006, 20:18
working fine for me, good quality, no lag or buffering stuff...

Good Job!

I wonder how much multiplay paid for the square add in the main page where the quakecon thing was.

Its working fine in high def. with a 24M/1M connection, but I liked the way GZ.tv did it at EC finals much more. Coming home from a rough day at work, only to flick on the tv on channel 21 and sit back.

Neglect 12 Nov 2006, 13:29
