GamesTV.org kicks off tv on demand system (18842 Views)

written by de skooli on 09.06.08 00:39
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 nl h3ll, be Anaconda and de 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: gb 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 ^^

Tried to watch this a few mins ago: http://www.gamestv.org/event/5553-overload-vs-impact-gaming/


Watch this Match now!

"Date / Time Today 20:30
League CB ET Eurocup XVII
TeamA be overload
TeamB gb Impact Gaming

Then I get sent to a server thats showing a game from: 2008.06.02 ... hmmmm ...

"89.106.69.150:27964 #Pure.ET ETTV 5 Replay: ESL EMS: overload vs Authentic Gaming Map: 1 Played on: 2008.06.02"


P.S the game is actually being repeated here: andyf1.servegame.com:27970 #andyF1 ETTV Server 1 Replay: CB ET Eurocup XVII: overload vs Impact Gaming Map: 1 Played on: 2008.06.09 , any idea when the "Watch this Match now" will be available though?

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.

  Reply
gb Cupper Tuesday, 10th June 2008 22:02
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!

those are teams, you have to be a bit more specific about which matches!

Another 20-30 older demos are now available.

all matches of those teams :((((
  Reply
nl andyF1 Sunday, 22nd June 2008 12:28
Ok all the currently available demos for those teams are now loaded on my servers, I can only load demos that exist in the GTV database unless another broadcaster has the demos to share.

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

So why you are asking for ettv for a live match beats me!

and even better is that you ask for ettv for a match -> Status: Removed
