CFL+ Streaming Woes

[Jesse]

They're doing pretty good with this coverage, honestly. Minus I guess the connection issues. Once you get in it's pretty good? It really is a lot to ask of the CFL to be a streaming service. Name another sports league that runs their own streaming service.

I think you're missing the point. They shouldn't be a streaming service. It should be part of the TSN contract.

Totally agree but since it's not - this is pretty...good? It's not bad for probably three guys in their basement.

I'm a teacher. If I set something like this up for my middle years students' drama kids, I'd be embarrassed, but telling myself the things you're saying now.

As a professional sports league, this should be an absolute non-starter.

Riders have a sponsor for any good play made by anyone... lol

Yes, I think the actual stream is quite good and I haven't complained once about it.  It's the container pages that are the problem.

I'm nearly positive the actual stream is outsourced to someone big, almost certainly youtube.  The stream was never the problem, it's the pages containing the embedded stream that are the problem.  Which is funny and ironic, because the stream is the hard part and static page hosting the easy part!!

I'll check after the game to find out who they outsourced streaming to.

If they can't do it in-house without glitches, have the container pages just be youtube (or whoever) too.

It should be both.  I think they need to do outside-of-TSN streaming in order to get the content out to the ex-Canada world.

Pretty much another fail

2nd week and problems again

End of?

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Hopefully the end of you doubling down on being wrong and complaining about complainers, there is zero value in posts like this, it is fishing seasons, notice you are moving with the lines out

End of.

[Pigskin]

Enough, both of you need to stop.

Agree, sorry about that.

Guessing 4 simulcast games was not helping them address individual issues, like rain or smoke delays...

Why does TSN have 5 channels and the CFL rights, but can't air PS games?

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

But the contract must not include preseason. TSN must not want to do it and the CFL would have had to give something up (IE. less money) in order to get them to do preseason, so they did a version of it themselves.

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.
