Hikoi webcast - maybe
a "maybe" heads up. We have been developing a webcasting facility known as VideoNow. It is webcasting with the encoder over CafeNet, so you can roam around town. Last friday we drove the van around, which seems to have amused a few folks. I'll put some footage up later for a laugh. Tomorrow the Hokoi will parade/march thru town. There is a strong possibility that we will have a camera on Lambton Quay to catch the action. The VideoNow URL is http://www.r2.co.nz/20040414/ If the camera is live it will connect, if not you get a message. Keep trying - the stream will kick in as we get near an access point. The "maybe" part is how much sleep we get tonight. Camera batteries are already charging........ rich

The stream to Windows media Player on Linux (via WINE) demanded I download WMP 9.0.....or get audio only. I guess they are *all* Windows-only webcasts then? Too bad. I guess I won't be seeing any. Steve

Totem seems to play them all ( using the gstreamer libs ). Only been watching the 128k streams thou...
VLC seems to play them just fine, too.

Thanks - both - I'll try them. Never heard of Totem..and VLC has parts/libs that conflict with other apps I do use. I've been a fan of Richard's work for a long time...and I'd like to support his efforts (whether I can see them or not).

MPlayer, and all it's assorted GUI boltons, seems to play them fine, as long as you have all the win32 codecs installed. http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/ If you're a debian user, then adding deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main to you sources.list will give you all the goodies.

I echo Jonathan's sentiments : Nice work Richard, looks good from up here in AKL. Thanks for your, and your teams, continued efforts to bring these webcasts to us. Hugely appreciated. I look forward eagerly to your webcast from next season's beach volley-ball championships. :-) Regards David Fox Network Manager / Engineer MoreNet Ltd. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Brewer [mailto:jon.brewer(a)worldnet.att.net] Sent: Wednesday, 5 May 2004 11:47 AM To: 'Richard Naylor'; nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Cc: 'Carl Penwarden' Subject: RE: [nznog] Hikoi webcast - maybe Hey Richard, Nice webcast, but where's the 8mbps HDTV stream!? :-) Jon

Or at least something a bit higher bandwidth than 128kbit.

I've been getting quite intermittent feeds via a not very busy 512k frame relay connection. Dave
