I'm not going to make it after all

Have fun though everyone.

Pitty you aren't gonna make it Stupot...

"You are banned! You cannot watch this channel!"

. No more live stream for me.. Though I guess listening to a computer fan working as if it's life depended on it and watching a blurry picture is not really something I can't go without. Shame you guys never got a better solution sorted out! Maybe next year? (You could always try and partner up with someone that has professional equipment, or why not even ask at the very university you are holding the event? http://www.uea.ac.uk/film-television-media)

Have fun guys, I'll patiently wait for videos etc to be uploaded after the event.

There's a stream? I can't find a link on the last couple of pages or in the original topic!

EDIT: okay, it's on the website, found it.

EDIT2: also, how did you get banned from it, Peder? I don't even see a chat or anything? :p

Greetings from London, y'all

DoorKnobHandle · Sat 07/12/2013 13:56:49

Greetings!!

The stream is great, Mark! Works really well, sound is acceptable as well! Now I just wish I wasn't so busy with my damn studies and could've gone as well!

Stupot · Sat 07/12/2013 14:19:18

Yeah loving the stream. Feel like a dick for not going considering how close I live, but glad I can still follow it. Charles Cecil's talk was awesome. Just seen the unmistakable hair of Ali walk past

I think it was because I posted a link (the link I posted in my post above). Seems I'm not banned anymore though, and the sound is now a lot better than it was before I was banned

.

oh also, to get the chat, just press on the video itself and it takes you to the channel on the hominin website.. (though I can't get there anymore as it just says someone with my IP is already watching it... lol.

Stupot · Sat 07/12/2013 14:31:43

I got the same IP message peder. I seem to have 'fixed' it by turning on Zenmate and choosing Hong Kong :/

Peder 🚀 · Sat 07/12/2013 14:32:39

Lol, well it worked for me at first, before I got banned. I can't be bothered to try and get around it now though. Is there even anyone else in there?

. There weren't anyone talking when I was in there.

selmiak · Sat 07/12/2013 15:05:51

is it just me or is the sound completely gone now?

DoorKnobHandle · Sat 07/12/2013 15:07:49

Sound stopped a couple minutes ago.

Not just you... there was a futuristic beep and then silence

Peder 🚀 · Sat 07/12/2013 15:11:53

Yes

DoorKnobHandle · Sat 07/12/2013 15:34:01

Sound just came back and scared the living shit out of me!

Peder 🚀 · Sat 07/12/2013 15:45:33

That "pause/commercial" video is damn loud :O..

Intense Degree · Sun 08/12/2013 07:28:41

Had a good time yesterday, some interesting talks, good games to look at and it was cool to meet some forumites in real life too!

Just wish I could go back today as well

Matt Frith · Mon 09/12/2013 02:50:08

I just got home and I am in a sort bizarre tiredness euphoria about the whole thing. It's getting better each year and I am glad to meet new people each time I attend. I seem to be mostly rambling on twitter right now... Thanks to Mark, Azure, AGA and thesynapse for hosting a great show. Let's make 2014 even better

Technocrat · Mon 09/12/2013 11:05:00

Ten thumbs up from me, I'll be back again for next year's! (there's nothing you can do to stop me)

Nice to meet you! And good to see you Matt, Technocrat, Arj0n, Tamara, ddq, VertigoAddict and others! (even CJ for a brief while

)

I'm glad the live stream audio worked better than last year at least. It was definitely still an experiment. The whole thing has been in a way, because everything was done on a slightly bigger/better scale this year. Fact of the matter is for that you have to discipline yourself into task routines to make things like that work. With all the other things that needed done (on entering the building) getting into those task routines for the live stream didn't happen so much on Saturday.

So, audio cut outs were because I hadn't plugged in the 'desk' to a mains socket and so the audio, which was coming through a HD camera, cut when the camera itself ran out of battery. But realized this was what was occurring and so on Sunday made sure camera was fully charged and no matter where the 'desk' was it was always plugged in to prevent power loss in the first place. Only needed battery power for when it was being moved, but that didn't "click" on Saturday.

I couldn't always monitor the audio, but did more monitoring of it on Sunday certainly. As far as I can tell it worked fine Sunday and only cut out during the last panel, but I could be wrong... ?

Thanks Jan

I'm glad it worked for that!

Peder - sorry, no idea about the banning. Something auto on hominin's end I presume. Other than occasionally cutting to a different cam & updating the scrolling text (late!) I didn't dare press anything else. The initial audio setup wasn't working, sorry that it also cut to the internal mic audio source (why you heard the fan!) but it seems like by 1pm Saturday I'd figured it all out and was using the HD cam for audio.

To keep that constant it meant recording continuously and that ate cam battery on Sat but that hadn't occurred to me so sorry for it disappearing, and blaring sound levels for that video...! ManyCam is not exactly the greatest live stream studio software. But it - and the hardware used - was about all I could afford this time. I'd love to find some remote webcams but I haven't. I had thought about cabling (via USB) so that the desk never moved and we could put a bunch of USB webcams all over the place. But that'd be a lot of USB cable, and lots of people tripping over

Anyhoo - thanks for tuning in! Hope at the very least the special guest talks all worked. They shoulda. Thats when I was mostly sat with the stream.

Thanks to AGA, Azure & the_Synapse for all their help. It was a pleasure to run the event with you guys!
