Aki 10 Video Stream

[Asojima]

Stream is overdue. I am checking both links use in Nagoya and the (live Stream) link. No luck. Holler if you find it.

NHK BS is broadcasting since 13:00.

Normal NHK starts 16:00, maybe that`s why

Same here. Juryo already started and neither online stream nor NHK broadcasting. Do I missed something?

I hope this was just today and we aren't back to the old "we only show Makuuchi"- idea.

Day 1 - Up at 15:52 JST with final Juryo matches using same URL as in Nagoya. Can't seem to capture the URL for post. Help please.

Here is the link.

I get the stream, but somehow with fewer frames per second -- the picture is "breaking up" (don't know the correct expression in English) -- not much, but still.

Is it just me?

[Sokkenaiyama]

No, not just you. Everyone I talked to complains about the choppiness (that's the term you're looking for, I think). My guess is the picture "breaking" is just artifacts from missed frames. But hey, it's better than no stream at all.

Hi guys,

It is great that we could watch this basho on TV again. I am not in Japan, however, and am trying to watch the basho via this link, which shows NHK:

mms://stream.gundam.eu/nhkg

(You can open this with VLC or Windows Media Player).

However, this time the picture is much choppier than in May, when I watched via this link last time. There are two possible reasons for this - either my Internet connection has become worse, or there are many viewers, which results in server overload and choppy picture. Could I please ask someone to check this for me and see whether you get good quality streaming? Thank you!

[Asojima]

I am using Windows Media Player 11, and it is very smooth. Tried VLC last basho, and it was a bit choppy.

I apologize if my question is redundant, but are you referring to the link I provided, or to the general NSK stream?

The link I provided is choppy both on WMP11 and VLC1.1.4 on my computer. Interestingly, other Japanese channels I switched to are not as choppy, so my guess is still that there are many users online, but needed to confirm to be sure that the problem is indeed server overload...

Btw, I get the NSK stream with perfect quality (as much as you can call this perfect), but the lack of replays and commentary is...

On the same note, does anyone know any other link to watch NHK? A few months ago someone provided a link here for a broadcast of the English version of the sumo events on NHK, but I seem to have misplaced it. If anyone has that, could you please provide it again?

[Kintamayama]

I used the Keyhole TV software today but it's really choppy as usual. At least it has replays and commentary. Stream was virtually unwatchable here.

[Asashosakari]

Looking at my recording, the bitrate is the semi-improved 120 kbit we got for the first few days in Nagoya, not the full 300 we got later. The (announced) frame rate is back to the same 15 fps we always got in the past, but the actual frame rate seems to have hovered between 8-13 fps for most of the broadcast, definitely making it look choppy, and in constantly changing ways. Probably wasn't the greatest idea of them to go back to in-house streaming instead of an Akamai setup...

[Asafan]

Keyhole tv is showing sumo right now. Nakanokuni and Sagatsukasa are on the dohyo. Bad quality, but....better than nothing.

It's not looking good for early startups on the stream this basho.

[kuroimori]

Stream is up since approx 15:53

- just in time to see Goeido losing against Miyabiyama

You're lucky at that. Here in Tokyo NHK is coming over fine, but it is not broadcasting the English sub-channel.

Orion :-O

There's another bunch that could use a good dose of JG... (Nodding yes...)

I tried the link you provided, and although the quality was better than the NSK stream (+ replays, commentary etc.), it was too stop-start choppy to watch.

And, fwiw, I have a good internet connection.

Thank you for your replies and info, everyone.

Yes, it seems that the problem with the NHK broadcast I was trying to watch is on the side of the broadcaster and not caused by my internet connection. This morning I started watching that broadcast and it was good until an hour ago but then started getting choppy, which I am guessing is due to more users watching at the same time. Therefore, I am on the NSK stream right now, which is better than nothing.

I haven't used Keyhole TV so far, but will explore this option now, thank you for the info, Kintamayama.

Hope your favorite rikishi all won!

Well....keyhole tv is in japanese too. No english.

Orion (Welcome...)

Correction: apparently I had technical problems with two different TV sets, one very old, one pretty new. I am credibly informed that the English is indeed coming through in Japan -- though I still haven't managed to get it! Maybe it's the heat making my fingers sticky. :-)

Btw, there was a stream for the fanatics of toriteki bouts like me, that sent images of bs2 (mms://stream.gundam.eu/bs2). Unfortunately, it seems to be gone. Any other way to watch bs2 in Europe ? Any help would be appreciated.

[Tamaikazuchi]

Which Keyhole TV station was airing NHK? Only one I could find that wasn't a radio station was password protected. :P
