You can also use WinAmp to play your feed as well.

Thanks for doing this.

Thanks a lot for setting this up. I have a question, the Live5 stream is almost 2 minutes behind being live. I was hoping to listen to the Live5 commentary while watching on non-English language TV channels.

Best regards, Roy

I’ve noticed the delays too.

If I had more time, I would setup a PVR system and delay the video to match the stream.

Yeah…Thanks a lot! This is great…..at least potentially. Does anyone else have the problem that the 5live stream doesn’t run at normal speed? I have a DVD recorder so the 2 minute delay is no problem but once I’ve synced the audio stream with the pictures from my TV in Japan, it goes out of sync again. Everyone’s voice sounds deep and slowed down. Any ideas why or how to fix this? I’ve tried both VLC and WinAmp with no joy. Thanks for your efforts this far though. Great work.

Up the En-ger-land! Kendalbren.

dijares: I’m just doing UK 5live. It’s upto them.

kendalbren: As I don’t have a TV I can’t determine if this is Realplayer’s or OGG‘s fault. If there is some setting for my icecast2 server I’d gladly apply it.

The trouble with these sort of streams are that they are cached to ensure “continuous” playback. I don’t think it will ever quite compare with FM and what have you.

OGG stream too slow?

kendalbren: I have the same problem. Seems like the OGG stream is too slow… i have tried VLC and stream through XBOX media player… no luck. I have to keep pressing pause on my DVR to keep in sync with the TV broadcast (ESPN in USA) ...

any ideas anybody?

great work! BCC commentary so much better than ESPN!!

Many many thanks for this! If you are ever in Scandinavia, I’ll buy you a beer
skål!

Dan: That sounds right.

I am unsure if 5live will cover that game. Check back here closer to the time. I\‘ll only setup then.

If you have time lag issues, use a HDD or DVD-based Recorder (with chase playback) to delay video playback by about 50 seconds and then fine tune to sync up. Works liek a chram once you get it working! Thanks

The speed issue I mentioned above seems to have been sorted out. Great work, fella! Whatever you did, keep doing it! After spending literally hours trying to get round this problem, I am extremely grateful. I’ve no idea how you did it but I’m so happy you did! Cheers!

Up the En-ger-land! Kendalbren.

Hi, Love your stream. Today is an unlucky day because I can’t get the feed to work. ANy ideas?

You\‘ll have to be patient people.

I can\‘t guarantee this service. Listener count peaked at 88 tonight.

Bad luck Argentina. I\‘ll be travelling in South America soon, so I hope you won\‘t mind I\‘m half-german. hehe =)

EVERYONE, OPEN VLC, GO TO “FILE” THEN “OPEN NETWORK” – CLICK ON “HTTP” BUTTON, THEN CUT & PASTE 222.106.128.198:8000/5live.ogg – go England GO!!!!!!

Thanks for this.

Everyone take a moment to mail the BBC and tell them to A) unlock the region, and stream in open formats!

Thanks.

I have really enjoyed listening to the games in Canada on BBC5. Thank you for re-broadcasting.

i have repeatedly tried to listen to live commentry on radio5 live via internet but i keep getting this stupid message saying that i can only listen if im in the uk ! if i was in the uk i wouldnt be listening to the match i would be watching it on Sky ! But you cannot get Sky in Greece ! ( if you do it is illegal ) so please help us x- pats abroad & lift the copyright on the matches ? at the end of the day music is copyrighted ! and is widely available on the net ! ( legally & illegally ) so why not a pay scheme to listen at home like Sky ? at the end of the day its a commentary its not music losing thousands of pounds of business ? the match only happens once & then its history ?? thankyou for taking your time to listen & hopefully act on this ? johnnie boy! discofrenzy@hotmail.com living in Greece i look forward to a reply ? thanks

the only other way is if you have a satellite receiver on astra 28 degrees east you can get the stream from there then re-stream it on the net with a fast connection with only about 1 second delay ? ( but this would be illegal !)

im looking around now for a cheap 2nd hand dvb box for myself just for the stream

if i succeed i will post again here with details of the stream…...

johnnie boy! ( or if someone else has the equipment to do it let me know on this board! )
