We are testing out an 800k stream. Our goal is to have the Olympia webcast look as good as the PPV. Going to be hard, but we will give it a go.
Let me know what you think of the 800k version though.

Will, can you add me to AIM? The POS program won't even let me sign in half the time, but I figure it's the best way to stay in contact with you.

what a fucking shock.......the webcast isn't working well. >:(
I see about every fourth pose, but at least I get to hear Dan's lisp flawlessy :-*

What browser are you using? Do you have the latest WMV codecs?
Also, this is an 800 k stream. So if you have a 500 k connection, it will be a little choppy. If you have a 1mb, it will work great. We are in 2007 and are going to be ready to start HD webcasts soon.

Cox High Speed.....4mb if I remember right. No probs watching these when they are going well, so something is wrong. I'm not getting any pic now bro

2.0 mbit connection here

i have great internet speed and it is crapping out....not working

same here damn it

mine to, its good quality, but it keep cutting out :-\

How does the 800k stream work? Cuz it seems that it's got to be allocated just like any other inet connection...unless it's somehow multicasted.
So if it's 800k and each connection takes say 50k (I have no clue how much each actually takes), then does that mean only 800/50 = 16 people can connect?
Sounds unreasonable...so I assume I'm wrong...how's it work really?
Just found out that once again, we met our limits on the stream hosting company. They are upping it again.
Over 12,000 DLS of the replay since last night at about 1 gig each slowed things a little. Now there are over 4,000 people watching the LIVE show, which again slowed everything to a crawl, we are moving to an UNLIMITED account right now...
Should be working great for all of your with teh right codecs, latest versions, soon.
WW

Damn it....right during Ronnie Rockel it locked up
-
I've got the white square in the top corner as well ???
-
doesn´t work >:( ??? :'(

It will not however effect the replays of the shows which will be available about 25 minutes after teh show.

Thanks for the update, this is the first webcast from bb.com I've had problems with, are there more people tuning in for this one then the previous shows?
-
Can't see shit. The stream wont even start for me.
-
Look, I appreciate that you guys do these smaller shows for free. I think the Arnold and Mr. O should be on ppv though, and it seems like the majority prefer the option.
My question is why don't you guys go live with a planned 30 minute "pre-game" so that way when this crap happens you still have time to fix it? It sucks to plan to watch these things only to be let down again.
-

download v. 11 windows media player.
i have the video screed up now. but its not starting :P

This is the first time we have done a HIGH quality one. We want to perfect it for the Olympia. Hopefully, in HD.
We usually run it at 300k or so.

this is bullshit

It's an 800 kbps stream for everyone who connects. So 4,000 x 800 kbps = 3,200,000 kbps (3.2 giga bits per second)
-
ok its working now ;D

Should be worknig for you soon, the streamhoster company had preset limits for how much gigs can be downloaded.
When 4000 connect to 1 connection in the same 5 minutes... the servers feel the hit.
We have updated and should be good.

25 mins? That's gonna be a record, and that's cool if you pull it off. Not trying to bust your balls bro, but like I said it's frustrating to deal with this everytime.
Thanks for keeping us informed in realtime this time around!

VERY DECENT NOW.

I want to find out if the local show in Thunder Bay today has more people in attendance than the Colorado Pro. ;D
Rest assured I will have ads for bodybuilding.com plastered all over my report for the show!! ;D ;D
-
Kai Greene, David Henry, and Darrem Charles should be 1st-3rd comparisons.

try download the latest wmv codecs. also this might work.
Why Can't Windows Media Player Connect To The Webcast?
There may be some conflicting settings in your player options. To resolve this, please go into "Tools... Options..." from the menu, then click on the "Player" tab, and check the checkbox next to "Connect to the Internet (overrides other commands)", then hit the "Apply" button, then the "Ok" button.
worth a try :)

Also, you make $ on anyone why buys product because the webcast brought them to your site.

Epic sense of entitlement. ;D
Ryan, Will, and the whole bodybuilding.com have done plenty of for-profit work, but it's absolutely true that they do some things which are not profitable but are good for the long term interests of bodybuilding. Kind of like Ron running getbig.
Bodybuilding.com is a team you want to work with. They are the kinds of people where if you are good to them, they will be damn good to you.

Yeah I was wondering about that...I don't have too many solid anabolic affiliate programs on my site other than elitefitness. I was also wondering how much that one page add getanabolics.com had in MUSCLEMAG cost.
-
dunno. i dont get any mags. i like the humor here at getbig, but the steroid advice there to be blunt. very smart people.

Top 4:
Kai, Rockel, Darrem, Silvio
Rockel looks fucking awesome

Worked flawlessly for the last 30 minutes. Hopefully the night show will go fine. I'm holding you to your 25 min estimate to be able to watch what I missed during pj.....starting now. ;D
Thanks again for letting us now what was happening while it was happening.

imo
1. Kai
2. Rockel
3. Darrem
4. Silvio
btw. i think Willmore was abit overlooked.

I would directly download the file.
Also, we just found out that the house network went down when it suddenly crashed about 1/3 the way through.
They just told Travis Chapman (who is in charge of shooting the webcast) this...
Let me know if you have any problems with the replays after you download it.

This is a very good idea.......
But you gotta remember, that there is only so much to talk about. In a real sport, there's stuff to cover. In bbing, what are they going to discuss, Kai Green thong color? The empty seats? Sasha's love for SR?
-
1. Kai or Rockel (I still can't decide)
3. Dareem
4. Silvio
5. Henry
6. Branch
Rockel is easy to forget about for the win because nothing makes you go "holy shit"...but that is really his strength, he is completely well proportioned, symmetrical and great lines. He is thick as hell but still has great taper and aesthetics. Separation in his legs are sick. Just not as sharp or wide as Kai from the back. Kai wins from the back, Rockel from the front. Tough for the judges.

Are you guys suggesting I'm a turd smuggler?

Should be working great for all of your with teh right codecs, latest versions, soon.

umm can you say beta test, is this the first time BB.com webcasted? (no) so no excuse as to why it looks and streams like crap. Yes I know it is free - but if you can't do something right, do not do it at all.

We usually stream at around 300k.

It cut out every now and then but i thought the video quality on the high quality stream was great.
...I still think you should put a chat feature on the webcast page though *points to own thread @ bb.com*

No problem, It could be a tad more user friendly. It blows that we can't see the Finals, I watched the prejudging last night, I feel completely ripped off. Thanks for posting the finals at least. By the time I get done with the prejudging, the finals should be starting.

Not entirely, I believe we will be broadcasting the LIVE finals tonight if they are held with the ifbb's....
For the live show, we broadcast the WHOLE shebang, it is easier than starting and stopping the feeds.
If we keep 1 steady stream, we can upload the file while the LIVE show is going on, so that we can have the on demand ready in 20 minutes rather than an hour or two.
The finals starts in about 1 hour in 25 minutes...
You can view that at this page:
http://webcast.bodybuilding.com/fitshow/2007copro/2007copro.htm
Be sure refresh your page, I will making 1 hour, 30 min and LIVE updates.
