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!

Yes, NSTV is working fine, poor resolution but I could give a shit. As long as it's WMV it's fairly compatable I believe. Now play a fucking ski movie or something! Porn, anything...haha

There won't be shows quite yet. There's a lot more to putting on an NSTV show than there is the radio show, so give me a bit to figure out how to do it.

We really want to try streaming a competition live, so this will most likely be the first big thing we do with it.

I want to run a few more tests to make sure it's stable and works. I will try to make the content a little more entertaining next time!

It's down right now, as I have to go and fix NSRadio.

Ok, running another test!

Right now NSTV is streaming various random videos. There's some old videos from my computer, and a bunch that I downloaded from NS.

So check it out, and tell me how it's looking!

I dug up some really old shit to do this.

Sounds fine, I here audio pretty much perfect. I figure it would get better the more that people are listening right? More connection smake it quicker?
