It was Faxanadu and no I totally missed that in the thread and the video. I'll download the updated one and try to match all the new ones to the schedule to make sure there's no other mixups. Then i guess make a torrent.

14.6 GB at 100 kB/s does not take long at all...

but on that note, ISPs need to give better upload speed. DL peaks at like 800 - 900 kB/s UL? maybe 120, but that's just a peak. 100 sustained

edit: Are people hoping on this just partial seeds or is there a problem connecting to me somehow? utorrent tells me there's 4 peers, none connected to me, and I've only uploaded 3MB.

I'm joining in on the seeding. I only have 60 kB/s though, but I guess that's better than nothing.

Totally agree on the point that ISPs need to give better upload speeds.

Damnit, couldn't someone have sent me an IM about the torrent? Anyway, seeding now.

Edit: Seems like some of the files in the torrent don't match the videos from archive. But oh well, shouldn't take too long to replace I hope.

uh what? I downloaded everything FROM archive. Unless you mean Faxanadu because then yeah you probably still have the old version.

nate

2010-02-03 09:47:44 pm

lol. yes. please do not seed out of date files. also don't use archive's hashes because they don't update when i update files on there.

I've joined in the seeding too. Might as well put my connection to work somehow. And the torrent matches my Faxanadu (which has Breakdown on the statID), so I'm at 100% from the get go. Smiley

does your faxandu say breakdown did it on the statid? just curious.

During Essentia's Dr. Mario run (which was AWESOME, by the way), someone off camera was talking about a Metroid Marathon in March. Where can I find details about that?

Everything's better with Magitek

I'm glad you enjoyed my Dr. Mario run! The Metroid marathon is being done by The Speed Gamers. You can get more details on their website: http://www.thespeedgamers.com/

Britt was talking about Ustream Producer on the TSG Vlog. It's a stand alone broadcasting client, which means you can cut browsers out of the equation. I downloaded it myself to try out at some point, this or the Pro edition would probably be worth looking into for the next marathon.

wouldnt making people have to download a program reduce the accessability of the marathon?

"producer". It's for us when we stream it. People don't have to download it to watch the marathon.

Yeah, sorry, it's a broadcasting client only. I edited my post to make that clear.

Although on that note, a way to view streams without using a browser would be amazing.

Tried downloading it, the first thing the installer tried to do was pull Quicktime in.

Fuck that.

Funny, it never asked me about that. I guess it's because I have QTLite instead of Apple's crap version.

Yeah, installing QT Lite seems to have done it. Fuck if I was going to install Apple's version. Couple quick reactions:

1) You can't save a local copy of the recording without the pro version, which costs $199(!!!). This would be a huge issue for the commentary stream.
2) You can't finetune the bitrate settings, only use presets. Maybe another pro restriction. Probably not as big of a deal, but when I broadcast using FME I use 800 kbps h264 but only 320x240 and not being able to go a high bitrate without also upping the resolution isn't so nice.
3) Overall the app feels rushed and doesn't offer any features that strike me as being useful over FME, other than the picture-in-picture (which we were able to do anyway) and the screencasting. I think I'll stick with FME for now.

I tried it while I was streaming yesterday. The program crashed horribly. That doesn't sit well in my books.

It feels a lot like a beta version rather than a full program. I tried it yesterday too, getting things to actually all work together was a bit of a headache. I also tried out the screencasting feature, it's nice for those that don't have anything, but it's even more resource intensive than Webcam Max already is. More code optimization and more options need to be put in, then it'll be a good alternative.
