digitalmars.D.announce - Live streaming of DConf 2016: confirmed

reply Dicebot <public dicebot.lv> writes:
Have just got a confirmation that there will both live stream and 
high quality recording for later publishing during DConf 2016   
Berlin - not being able to attend is not a reason to not 
participate! ;)

I will also forward any questions asked online to speakers (if 
time allows). To make sure your question gets noticed please 
submit it (when the time comes) either via Twitter using 
#askdconf hash tag or via official D IRC channel (#d   
irc.freenode.net), preferrably mentioning the same hash tag.

Only bit that is still decided upon is platform choice for 
primary stream source - will update this topic when it gets 
settled.

See you soon in Berlin!

For live stream - don't think so. For high quality recordings publishes later shouldn't be a problem.

Any information on the video streaming/recording source will be helpful to download them. Looking forward to watch the videos.

The twitter feed provides a link: https://www.facebook.com/sociomantic/app/190322544333196/ But I'm probably not going to bother to wake up at 4am for it...

Yes, correct! There are currently three places to view the stream: Sociomantic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sociomantic/app/190322544333196/ Sociomantic Website: https://www.sociomantic.com/blog/2016/05/follow-dconf-2016-in-real-time/ Sociomantic UStream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pR6fAWVkXzw We'll try to get a PR submitted to the official DConf website to get a stream there too so people really have a wide variety of where they are most comfortable to watch the live stream, but I'm not sure how likely that last addition will be given that the conference starting may engage most folks and thus prevent any site updates. I could be wrong though! If anyone else feels like they want to host a stream somewhere, please let me know! Lastly, if you want direct access to me or any other organizers during the event, best case is to Tweet directly to DLangConf as that is more aggressively notifying us than the forums.

Aha, I've forgotten one fun tidbit! Dicebot has had the amazing idea of providing a hashtag for "live questions" from the remote audience. So if you're watching and want to say or ask something, simply Tweet and include the hashtag #askDConf. Dicebot will pick up the Q's and pass them onto the appropriate party in the event itself. Should be quite a fun way to interact with the live stream! :)

I'd love to mirror it on livecoding.tv. Of course the main concern with this is a round trip to europe from New Zealand would not be very good for viewers, even if I'm on a fiber connection. Wouldn't be too hard I suppose to write an irc bot to mirror chat there on to FreeNode #D or even automate tweets. Especially with my irc to XMPP bridge (free for use).

There appears to be a problem with the sound on Ustream with Android, at least for me: there is none. I've tried it on a Sony phone and a Samsung tablet, both with the HTML5 player in the browser and the Android app. All other streams work, which suggests it's a problem with the Dconf stream. My guess is that the Dconf stream is using an audio codec that Ustream doesn't support on Android, and it's silently failing, in more ways than one. If anyone else can reproduce this and maybe try to fix it by changing the audio codec, if possible, that'd be great.

Sound doesn't work in the official Ustream Android app either for the Dconf stream, as I noted. My guess would be that the HTML5 player and the Android app try to use whatever audio codecs are built into Android, instead of the app using its own codecs, and the codec chosen by the Dconf livestream is not normally supported on Android for whatever reason.

Also, no audo with iPhone or OS X. Even downloaded Ustream app. Must be an upstream problem. Looks like Kai is giving a nice talk though.

Yup, listening to yesterday's keynote now with VLC. Still no audio for the live stream. Does anybody have audio working live? What are you using to listen with?

Yes, you can get new stream URLs from the JSON metadata for each video. For example, the first video is at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/86352137, so load up http://api.ustream.tv/videos/86352137.json and look for the flv URL with the tcdn.ustream.tv domain. Copy it, remove the forward slashes before the back slashes, and paste it into VLC.

Thanks for the technique. But it does not seem to work. I extracted the following from the json, which gives me an HTTP 403 forbidden error: http://tcdn.ustream.tv/video/86352137?preset_id=1&e=1462512507&h=1f78b567afc5eda10df1be84e0786704&source=api

Your link works for me in VLC, are you trying to download it or something? The video is dark for first five seconds, but you can hear crowd audio right away.

Yes, you can get new stream URLs from the JSON metadata for each video. For example, the first video is at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/86352137, so load up http://api.ustream.tv/videos/86352137.json and look for the flv URL with the tcdn.ustream.tv domain. Copy it, remove the forward slashes before the back slashes, and paste it into VLC.
Thanks for the technique. But it does not seem to work. I extracted the following from the json, which gives me an HTTP 403 forbidden error: http://tcdn.ustream.tv/video/86352137?preset_id=1&e=1462512507&h=1f78b567afc5eda10df1be84e0786704&source=api
Your link works for me in VLC, are you trying to download it or something? The video is dark for first five seconds, but you can hear crowd audio right away.
Oh yes it works on VLC on Android! Sorry. It does not on VLC (nor via browser) on my laptop. Below is a UNIX command to extract the flv URL from the JSON’s. wget -O- 2>/dev/null http://api.ustream.tv/videos/86352137.json | grep -o 'flv":"[^"]*' | cut -d\" -f3 | tr -d \\\\ Thanks.

Great, but why is the stream so blurry ? It can't be my bandwidth, and I can't find any menu/button to enable HD video on ustream's flash player.

 We'll try to get a PR submitted to the official DConf website to get a 
 stream there too so people really have a wide variety of where they are 
 most comfortable to watch the live stream, but I'm not sure how likely 
 that last addition will be given that the conference starting may 
 engage most folks and thus prevent any site updates. I could be wrong 
 though!
 
 If anyone else feels like they want to host a stream somewhere, please 
 let me know!
 
 Lastly, if you want direct access to me or any other organizers during 
 the event, best case is to Tweet directly to  DLangConf as that is more 
 aggressively notifying us than the forums.
