This may be a redundant question but I could not find anything similar yet. Livestreams are banned on Youtube in Germany. Sometimes I feel like I live in china -.- It’s getting quite ridiculous. So, two questions …
Does anyone know the rationale behind this ? It can’t be the GEMA terrorists since I:B is property of i-novae which has nothing to do with them. And: Can future streams be moved to some proper streaming platform ?
Otherwise I’m looking forward to see this happening and wish you(i-novae) all kinds of luck
It was surprising to see them decide on YouTube, but it makes sense as that’s where their main viewership is. Is it not possible for one to stream to YouTube and have another steam to Twitch?
I guess it would be possible to restream the stream, quality loss is guaranteed tho.
But I have 600mbit connection and could sure do that if I so desired(restream on twitch I mean).
What? Banned? Why? This is news to me and, honestly, its in the last country I would have expected to have something like this. Does anyone know that rationale behind this decision?
Well, I do have a theory. But this might not be the place to discuss forms of oppression of freedom of speech. I just wanted to hint at this for future stream considerations. So I retract my first question.
I’ve seen people on YouTube also stream on Twitch for their. German viewers (or simply viewers who prefer Twitch). So it’s certainly possible to do that. Although the guy that was doing that (CaptainShack aka theXPGamers, one of the guys who streamed the prototype) is using a separate computer for capturing and streaming video, so that might have something to do with it.
I recommend for someone to relay the stream onto twitch or for our German friends to use a proxy. I-Novae is too small of a company to be able to cater to everyone and know every drawback of a streaming service.
Someone better make a gif/short video of them going top speed to the mars planet from the station, then breaking off 30km above the surface (I assume the video will be available later).
