CP Webcam of the Dolphin Game
 

Okay, I'm no techie.....but it would seem to me, that all that's needed to solve this dilemma is:

1. Big screen TV
2. Webcam
3. Host/bandwidth
4. Benevolent & Industrious CP poster/member living in the KC area
5. Website that CP members can log-in to

WHO is gonna BUCK up for us? :hmmm:

:D

Didn't C-Mac do this?

I don't know, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work....:shrug:

Yes.... but I have improved things since then.

Do tell..... :drool:

I think i can do it let me see what i can do when i get off work

That would be great!

Yeah it will take some work and some Thinking But... Its crazy enuff it just might work

I hope this works. I want to see this D with Warfield playing. I think the aggressiveness should rise.

I'm definitly interested...

Is there anyway to directly feed into a webcam like broadcast, much better quality if you could input through the output on your cable box/satellite feed through some type of web broadcast.

I have cable, so am not ready to switch to Direct TV... and am not sure I could afford the 200 bucks a year anyway...

I will be the first to state:
I will put in a free twelve pack to anyone who can get the game video/audio live on the internet that I can access and watch Friday night. I am thinking that plenty of other planeteers would be willing as well. You would also be a GOD amongst mere mortals.

This is where i am going to try and go with this i get off at 5pm

What if I'm already a God?

I would be able to get the feed onto my PC and somehow get it out to a person or two, but the bandwidth to stream an entire game to a large audience would be a problem. Good luck, slag, on figuring it out!

Ditto.

DIBS!

I live in KC, so getting the game is not a problem... However, I will also donate a 12-pack to whoever can set this up for the out-of-towners... and this coming from a poor assed student.

Then you would have no problems streaming me a test show tonight exemplifying your prowess and setting up for tomorrow night. If not -> B*LLSHIT!


I AM SO F"N PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn you NFL & CBS!!!!

i would definetly donate or however ud wanna set it up so let me know. [email protected]. Im a desperate man!!!!!

That you have a hottie for a wife.

Or you just simply need to gedova yosef.

:p

If Carl Peterson really cared about Chiefs fans, he'd stream it through kcchiefs.com.

Yeah, that's it.

HOLY CRAP.....someone with Carl's number and e-mail needs to be on THAT like stink on sh*t!!! :clap:

I will send a 12er too!

I don't know the legalities of all this and I'm not responsible for what you jokers post on this site, but you guys don't quit talking about PAYING one another for this, I'm going to squash it all. I KNOW paying for it is illegal.

At this rate if someone is able to put it together, they will be set for beer for the rest of the season....heh. ROFL

I'm down wit Carl's omnipotence an' all.

But I don't think even HE can dudat.

Dinny

Beer is legal tender? :hmmm:

EDIT: Nevermind

Alright. I DEFINITELY WON'T PAY ANYONE A 12-PACK TO HELP THE OTHER FOLKS OUT OF AREA OUT.

I'd be very very interested. :)

the planet is going to get sued. ROFL

At any rate I'm not sure how this could provide anywhere near the picture quality people would be looking for when watching a football game without a very high end setup.

Beer is legal Tender for me anyway ;-)

I don't see what's illegal about showing something over your own webcam.

before every game, they have a legal disclaimer about the game being the property of the NFL and any duplicating or something or other is prohibited

I think re-broadcasting over a webcam is part of the no-no legal jargin

If it's legal then why is the only website that's doing it based in Canada? (and still getting sued by the NFL)

Yeah, exactly.

The NFL reserves the rights because they get hundreds of thousands per game from their affiliates in exchange for the right to air the program and sell advertising along with it. Once they let pirated broadcasts take over the well runs dry.

I don't have any idea really....I know webcams USE to be pretty crappy, years ago. I just assumed that quality and resolution, and affordability, had improved dramatically since then. :shrug:

It's only illegal if you charge money.

Crap. I figured it might, but wasn't sure....hoping it wasn't really. Oh well. :(

You really are shooting for some neg rep though, aren't you? :harumph:

jk ;)

what if you have an HD tv with a computer connection port?

could you basically use your tv to transfer in over your computer and then stream it to people?


:hmmm:

:shrug::thumb:

I have a TV with a wireless internet connection via cable modem. Anyone know how to stream the TV signal from my tuner card? I'll host the game for everyone if someone figures it out.

Dave

Now THERE is an idea.

Anyone know? :hmmm:

I think I know someone who knows. :hmmm:

We may need Lennie and Squiggie for this one!

Now that I think about it, I know some people have DVR software on their PC, maybe it would be possible to stream that file? (illegal I'm sure but possible? Who knows)

My DVR is a computer with wireless high speed access I'll share if someone can tell me how...

Dave

Yeah, I think if you guys do a "re-broadcasting" of this game... you don't want it afflilliated with this site.

eh, this stuff is all really simple to set up... you can stream using a variety of apps on CNET, here's an example of one:

http://www.download.com/PYSoft-Broad...?tag=pdp_prod_

All you need is some sort of AV input (tuner card, webcam, s-video in, etc.) and a shitton of bandwidth. These applications typically allow the setting of bandwidth limits per user (ie 20 kb/sec), and also allow you to specify quality/size of the video stream.

I have a shitton of bandwidth in my dorm... so if I'm lucky enough to happen to get the game up here in Boston, I'll get it up and running as soon as it's on. So basically, if you guys want the game, you need to find someone with a ton of upstream bandwidth and a video/audio source that can connect to the PC. And of course this is blatant copyright violation regardless of whether or not compensation is provided for the service. But I don't think anybody here gives a ****. =p

OK, I've got my satellite (with Topeka CBS) hooked up to my PC with video in. The only thing I can think of is to stream it out via an instant messenger program of some sort. If anybody has a better idea, or if you'd like to help me try this out, contact me via MSN Messenger - [email protected] before 7pm CDT.

I'll try chiefsfan's program. We'll see what happens.

BTW, don't get your hopes up. I've only got 384 kbps of upload space (that's bits, not bytes), so I probably won't be able to do this for more than a couple people.

I haven't tried those specific apps, but you can give a few of them a shot. Here's another that may work well:

If you're behind a firewall, make sure you forward the ports it's using to your machine. If you don't want to deal with all that, unplug your router and connect directly to the internet. =p

That would be outfugginnapsterstanding!!111

Fug the NFL.

Yep, I don't know how many times I heard ole Dandy Don Merideth say, "This telecast is intended for the private use of our audience. Any other use of this broadcast without the Expressed WRITTEN consent of the NFL is prohibited."

They say it at the end of every game.

You know, the more I think about this.....how fugged up would that be:

"NFL Sues Fans for 'WebCam' of Game They Refused to Broadcast"

What a fuggin' headline that would be for them to live down....

I hate to bury such a cool toy at the bottom of such a long thread, but it seems quite related.

Check it out.

$250.00

Hahah, $250.00 is a bit too steep for a piece of hardware that could be replaced by software written in a few days (or downloaded for free). =p

Slingbox? Is that anything like Slingblade?

Is Billy Bob Thornton their spokesperson? :hmmm:

"hhhhhmmmmmm, yyyyuuuuppppp......yes, sir."

I ll bet $250 later, your still very limited to how many logins you can have.

Let's keep CP on the air. In case this doesn't work out. NFL decides to play hardball.

Maybe you can convince Rhonda Moss to write that headline as long as you promise a private webcast of your "Jerod" to her.

All we have to do is delete this thread and funnel our broadcast through some high-speed proxy server in finland. =p

Yeah, but if it works (full video and sound), I'd rather pay $250 once than pay $250/year + DirectTV rates for NFL Sunday Ticket.

I could throw this bad-boy on my Dad's TV and we could both watch his cable feed. Hell I could have his HBO & Skinimax too!

the quality isn't the best... when it first came out the slingbox run quality similar to video capture card for your PC.


best watched in 640x400 mode ... and still grainy at that

"Dear Rhonda,

As a lifelong rabib Chief's fan I'd like to request a huge favor. Can you please do Chiefs fans everywhere outside the KC area a huge favor and call in your favors with the NFL's main office and convince them of the wisdom of allowing the game to be broadcast on ESPN23.

In gratitude, I'd be willin' to introduce you to my big fella, "Jerod."

Sincerely, Phil Clooster"

"Dear Mr. Clooster,

As a HUGE Chief's fan myself, I can empathize with your plight. However, it just so happens that ESPN23 is scheduled to broadcast BBW Lesbian-Bisexual Mudwrestling in that time slot. And it's my national debut. As self-serving as it sounds, I'm going to be unable to fulfill your request.

Sincerely, Rhonda Mass

PS: I'd still LOVE to meat "Jerod" at your convenience; I'd introduce him to "Royal"....as in the Royal Gorge.

Volleyball analogy, "nice spike to my set".

:clap:ROFL

The guy that hooks this up, will go down as the Greatest Chiefsplanet Member of all time.

:wayne:

Wha' and supplant gochiefs in the annals of our history?



Nah. :p

I MUST BE THE GREATEST!

POST LIKE A BUTTAFLY FLAME LIKE A BEE! YOUR MODS CAN'T BAN WHAT YA EYES CAN'T SEE!"

I still prefer the goatcheese moniker for you. :hmmm:

Anybody out there have access to a Windows Media Server? I can stream the game, but I just can't host it!

I could understand why you could get sued for broadcasting something you had to pay for, but not for something like this that's free.
