GamesTV.org kicks off tv on demand system (18856 Views)

Dear (Enemy Territory) Community,
a few times already somebody tried to start an ettv-on-demand service but failed for several reasons after a while. We believe this is a great service for the community so we decided to give it a try. Like with normal tv servers we don't buy our own hardware to manage but rather offer a platform for everybody with resources to spare to add their servers and broadcast matches.
Our on-demand system works the same way: Everybody who's interested can take part, therefore we're confident that we can offer a big selection of replays with enough resources to cover the demand.
We start with a few participants who are kind enough to offer their hardware (thanks to h3ll, Anaconda and 8bits|Oldman) and hope to grow the number of available matches and servers when more server admins join in.
For you this means that you can chose to replay any of the available matches at any time by following the "Watch this Match now" link in matches where available. You will get your private server which will play the selected match offering 6 slots for you and your friends.
For now]GamesTV.org[/url] Crew
Update: 1001 Matches available on up to 20 replayers
Update 2: Due to popular demand I adjusted the list view of the calendar so you can see instantly which events are available for replaying and even jump to the demand page direcly.
Update 3: andyF1 jumped in so now we have almost 1.500 Matches on almost 30 replayers
Update 4: With a lot of effort from the team the complete GTV demo database has now been uploaded to the ETTVoD replayers meaning we now have a total of 1869 Demos available for replay!

As it says; 'in matches' :P
Go to a match you would like to see (you can find them on the calendar, teampages, most recent events, or just the archive) and if it's available you will see 'Watch this now' on that page ^^

Hi,
my logs show me that you didnt request Overload vs Impact from tonight but excatly the match you got: overload vs authentic -> http://www.gamestv.org/event/5527-overload_vs_authentic-gaming/
(that was tonight, 00:18 cest which should be 23:18 for you) are you sure that you didnt just get those matches confused?
Also, i just spawned myself a replayer for the impact vs overload match and it showed me the right one.

Same, I am watching the match right now it works fine :)
Neeeeeeeeed list of available matches
use ze calender m8, just select month/year etc, and u sees a list....
it means i have to look through each match individually to find and hope they can be watched, whereas if there was a list, i could simply look throught and choose a match!
oh dear, aint that terrible xD

yeah but ur estonia
that took alot of dignity aswell? :D
nah why would i give you some
works fine for me, really cool service that...

want to see this match again: http://www.gamestv.org/event/3955-cs3r-voodoo_vs_trivium
the demos are not available to download from the GTV database so I suggest you contact the broadcasters from this match, if they still have the demos I can add them to my ETTVoD server
