World Champs

Well at the moment it's just pictures and no commentary (which can be heard in the background)

[andy]

and now there's lots happening and I'm watching a canal. Sad times.

GPS OK and TV pics working but no commentary.

Anyone got commentary ?

[andy]

they've finally plugged commentary into the feed.

shame their server can't handle the HD it says it does! (before you ask I can usually stream 2+ hd streams at the same time)

[andy]

and they've unplugged the commentary again

[andy]

Actually I don't think it was ever plugged in, they're using the camera audio so it's picking up background noise rather than the commentary. Rubbish!
The pictures/production/overlay all looks pretty slick though

Swedish TV is showing the same pictures at higher quality and is free.

Free commentary here.

GPS is part of the paid service, and is a bit all over the place as you'd expect because of the narrow streets.

Leg 14-15 looks like it might decide the race.

The problem with audio+svt is that getting it to match up is hard. I kind of assumed the IOF version would be the whole package. Sadly they've missed one of the fundementals of broadcast, separate the video and audio. Two things to improve it:
Arena audio over muted video (a commentator focussing on TV picture would be even better)
It's buffering away merrily whenever I put it on HD, so more bandwidth required.

Otherwise it's looking very promising!

Anyway, to the Orienteering, Tess was going ok at first radio 14secs back

[andy]

Very much deserved world champ in Judith Wyder after her season!

Tess should be pretty pleased in 12th I think?

Well done Tessa, boys next, svtplay.se is working ok,

Disappointingly I bought a week pass last night and my order status (for an email of a code for goodness sake!) is "awaiting dispatch". What I thought was my code appears to be just a reference. Andy whats the format of the code?

What I thought was the code started WOC2014-xxxxxxxx-x but thats not working.

check your spam folder, it's in an email

Thanks for the tv link PhilJ!

[andy]

the live stream from IOF is good, it'd be perfect if they put the two together
anyone know how to put a delay on browser audio?

[andypat]

Thanks Andy - shoulda checked that - funny the ticket went in the spam but the receipt didnt! Phew
