CFL+ Streaming Woes

[The Zipp]

Would not work for me at game time(actual)
It did connect an hour before.
I assumed this was a demand bs. Technology issue.
I assume my four year old I pad not able.
Or my bug screen TV couldn't handle it

20 year old radio worked fine! lol!
Problem was CJOB hires such umpires professional on air people it's insulting and hard to listen to.
The play by play guy with Doug is a fricken two year old.
Did anyone near the joke he told, and it was dead air for about ten seconds.  Doug didn't try and offer a fake laugh, and there were no other comments.

Same with the Jets and that phony "he scorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzz guy. I don't listen to games on the radio. And now after this Bomber wanna be, it's the same.  Guy does do some research, but, tries to be funny, and fails.

100 times better than the goobers the riders have...be thankful for what we have.  nobody is going to be as good as Bob Irving.

Hard to makes sense of most of this rant.  Disagree most of what I could understand.

I couldn't get my ipad pro 1st gen to run it, but could get an iphone 12pro to do it.  My newer macbook air ran it well and I could mirror to my tv. 

For the most part it worked, and really the coverage with the various camera angles and even superimposed scores and time count clock on the field was impressive since I expected some shaky one camera feed (I guess livebarn sets the bar real low).

It did freeze up sometimes, and the "commercial break" would come on when we could hear the play going in the background, and all of a sudden it cuts to the feed and missed a play. 

Anyone else notice for the second half the video became more choppy to the point it was hard to see if a catch was made in real time, and wait to see what happened?

Overall it was glitchy, but I sure appreciated being able to see the game given my low (livebarn) expectations.

my resolution on video was consistent, I experienced, time with no audio, some reloading, random little glitches but after a rough start not too bad

I had it sync'd up with CJOPB for about 10 minutes, then it kept glitching and jumping back and forth... so it was always a play out, so then I'd pause, and it would be off again.

I guess they have until next year to get this remedied.  Hopefully someone there is watching this thread and getting the 2 radio options available...

The rest of the year is available on TSN, but they are also doing CFL+, I guess they are just going to put the TSN feed on the CFL+ site... so no need for sync'ing radio feeds...

That is correct, I'm going with CFL+ this year...at least until it fails me.

Waders27 edited replay PS#2 Bombers vs. Riders.

The 5 channels are regional things. They were never intended to show 5 different programs as far as I know.

But they do.  I checked the next few days' schedule and many times every day there are 4 different shows on 5 channels.

It took me a few mins to find, but I even found a slot where 5 different shows are playing, on Jun 7 12:30

FIA Formula E
Premier Lacrosse
Roland-Garros Tennis
PGA Tour
Norther Super League Soccer

So any excuse that TSN "can't do PS because they aren't really 5 channels" is now bunk.  But we already knew that because around 5 years ago (and for years preceding that) they played about half of all PS games on TSN.  At one time they seemed to try to make it "fair" by making sure every city got to see their team at least once.

The 2nd half frame rate was plain awful.  It makes no sense their vid upload / processor was good for H1 but not H2?  Unless their internet connection all of a sudden went from good to bad?  Or some dolt was trying to do it over wifi?

However, it was still watchable, if annoying.

I thought the reason and it's a legit one is that the audience is limited to the cities playing that day. I have no interest in watching other teams in the preseason. Costs out weight benefits (ratings). They probably just do a couple to use as their own preseason. It's a small army to do a proper telecast isn't it? I am happy enough just being able to see the game even in less than  ideal format. Now the connection issues on CFL+ are different. That HAS to be fixed. It's a wonder to me that they can have troubles 2 weeks in a row. Other cities saying the same as us. That's a lot of people. Should be ok now though because most will just watch on TSN from here on out.

They could easily just televise what they are showing on CFL+.  They don't need to bring in the whole panel or do anything fancy.  (Maybe have to be faster/better on the mute/block button for ad rights purposes though.)

It would still be better than Baffin Island junior varsity girls pickleball re-runs that TSN87 is running instead... or the 4th of 4 channels all showing the same sports-centre.

I had trouble, and gut. CJOB the best alternative! Bring Bob back that play by play guy is characterless and is bland as  watching paint dry.  When is his contract up?
