ok looking at some webcasting options while I had a minute here... I was hoping I could get a server componet to run on r1de.net then something I could run from my laptop and stream the video to the server for you all to connect to and watch.... like Shoutcast but for video... might not get that optimal solution for me... other solutions would require makzimia to open ports on his router/firewall (bad!) or use of another IP address on his connection to just serve the video off the laptop directly... (could cost $ or p.o. his ISP) another option I see right now are still pictures uploaded at interval to webpages... we could always use the teamspeak for some voice confrencing during the party... Makz has the mics and gear to make it like you were sitting in the room with us I am sure, albeit a *dark* room where you couldn't see us... but there has to be a solution to the video problem I am just not seeing... there is still like 2 weeks and change left till the party, I'll keep looking, but I'd like to open the floor for suggestions from everyone else... anyone who might have done something like this before? *edit to add the 1 REQUIREMENT* whatever solution must be free if possible... one way or another

duh.... just answered my own question.... we might be able to use the shoutcast server already in place... (known to a few of us as ride radio)
still... other solutions are always nice in case a snag is hit

ok lets test this thing... please post here if you can or cannot see the stream. I am streaming from the "gamer cave" in the house here... you should be able to see something. I'm am not sure about other video players (windows media, etc...) but I know you can see the video with the latest free version of winamp, so go get it if you don't already have it. and makz we have our video broadcasting solution for the party right here... I do not think there is any sound, I turned it off... at least I hope I did... if not I can't responsible for what you may or may not hear.... *edit* der... *smacks head* um... connect winamp to r1de.net:8000

my very own thread... awh *sniffle* ok anyway... if you find that winamp will not play the video, or if you just don't have winamp, please use one of these links to get the free version that works download from nullsoft.comdownload from r1de.net

final verdict... this will work fine... Mysaides and Xaphan both tested it for me... only thing is you *have* to use r1de.net:8000/listen.pls in order to see the video... or just goto r1de.net homepage and click on the "radio free ride" link at the top.
