TESTING NS TV

Don't get too excited yet, this is still a REALLY SKETCHY test of a program we're trying to use.

You see, streaming live video on our servers would cost such a crazy amount of money that NS would go out of business in a matter of minutes.

However, there is a program called peercast that allows the viewers of a video broadcast to share the bandwidth usage between them. It's the same idea as bit torrent. There's NO adware/spyware, so don't worry about that.

If you want to participate in this test there's a few easy steps you have to follow.

First, download Peercast. http://www.peercast.org/download.php
YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THIS. You can't watch it without the program. Please make sure you have at least three outgoing streams enabled, so you can help share. If nobody shares their connection, it won't work.

Next, go to http://yp.peercast.org/?find=NSTV&Submit=Search

That should take you to the NSTV link.

If not, type click http://yp.peercast.org and put NSTV in the search bar.

Once peercast is running on your computer, click on the Play button to watch.

The video is streaming in .wmv right now, so you'll probably have to use realplayer or windows media player to watch it. I'm trying to figure out how to get it in different formats, but do to the fact that I'm a tech retard, I can't figure it out yet.

Post your comments on whether it's working or not.

http://www.peercast.org/quickstart.php

There's a getting started guide. Read through it and see if it helps you!

Okay.. i suspect some people may nto be doing it properly / not installing the program / whatever... heres what i did exactly to get it to work.. try following these steps EXACTLY:

1. If you have media player, or any other video program open.. CLOSE IT.

2. If you already have the software downloaded etc, CLOSE IT.

3. If you dont have any of it yet, disregard the first 2. next. go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx and download Windows media player 9 or 10. (you probably dont ahve this (the latest) version). Make it the default player during set up. RESTART your computer after installing.

4. go to http://www.peercast.org/download.php and download the appropreate version. Even though i have winamp, i downloaded the wondows version.

5. Click on the file you downloaded and install it following the instructions. Install all components. click the option to add a shortcut to the start menu for convenience.

6. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT AFTER THIS!

7. Once you restart, go to the start menu or wherever the program was installed and Start Peercast. you should get a little icon on your system tray, but no actual 'program' (you can open a user interface through the icon if you like)

8. go to http://yp.peercast.com and in the search type in 'NSTV'. If you cant find it, go here: http://yp.peercast.org/?find=NSTV

9. click on 'PLAY' with the star next to it. Windows media player should pop up. if anything else pops up, i dont think it will work, as media player is the only program that can play the latest WMV files.

10. Cross your fingers!

Hrmmmm.....

So I guess this isn't really working.

DAMMIT.

I'm going to leave it streaming for a little while longer, and let a few more people try, then I'll give it another shot tomorrow.

Being out there skiing every day, good or bad, just playing around with friends, with no contests or filming- that is the real spirit of skiing for me. that is why i started skiing, and if i lose those moments that is what will make me stop skiing.

Well, I've searhced every page of channels, I found some naked Spanish chicks (it said adult and I couldn't help myself so I burned one off real quick). But unfortunately, no NSTV. I'm utterly dissapointed...but peercast works on my comp.

Yeah hopefully tonight. We're putting a new HD in the NSRadio computer right now, so once that is done I'll give the NSTV another shot.

We'll get it, it'll just take some time!

In the meanwhile, if people can try using peercast and getting it working with some of the other channels, that'd be sick. If it works with other channels, then I know it's just something I'm doing wrong.

If you guys can connect to other channels, please give me the information of those as well, and I'll try to copy them.

Hey Doug,

I was fooling around with it a lot last night. I was able to connect to a lot of the other channels, the WMV ones that is. I still don't know what NSV format is...weird. Anyways, let us know when you put the NSTV back up and i'll give it a shot. The other ones were working for me.

The whole process is pretty involved. Took a lot of figiting! But, like you said, we'll figure it out!

Great Idea by the way!
