Livestream in Germany

An alternative is an extension for chromium / whatever browser you’re using. I’ve had good experience with Proxflow in chrome, I’ve just turned the stream off (it’s getting late) but it works flawlessly even up to HD.

This sounds like a good idea. Seeing the same thing with two points of view would be interesting.

@CatastroVi will be streaming tomorrow: http://www.twitch.tv/catastrovi

Try ZenMate for chrome. (the extension, not the app) it worked for me (in germany) fine for hours yesterday.

Will yesterday’s livestream footage be posted somewhere to rewatch?

It’s not GEMA it’s the “Rundfunkstaatsvertrag” - it looks like you need a license if you want to broadcast and youtube hasn’t applied for one yet.

@INovaeKeith don’t forget to reactivate Stream Notifications and Stream to Video conversion. I think a lot of people would be sad if they couldn’t re-watch the stream. Yesterdays steam was a blast, keep having fun, those were the best parts. Cookie.

PM him on the forums so he doesn’t miss it!

If you’re in Germany and can’t visit YouTube we have another participant streaming on Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/catastrovi

Gah, proxies failing and Twitch stream breaking down, will have to watch the recorded video, if they save it this time.

Made a comment about the twitch in the reddit post, please upvote?

can’t see any comments if you mean the /r/games post (even though it says that there is 2 comments)

Watched the youtube stream through a proxy and CatastroVi’s stream on twitch side by side on 2 monitors … epic views :smile:

Missed the entire stream due to work. :’(
Waiting to watch the video of it once it’s been uploaded.

Which proxy did you use? The ones i tried all failed to handle the lifestream.

i don’t know i was online, watched a battlescape video, edited something in the foreground, and then, the livestream video started. i watched it about 2-3 hours (here in germany)… i think you have to ninjawatch it before the GEMA comes along and kills it :smiley:

You can watch the video. You can’t watch the stream, not because of GEMA but because it’s a broadcast and Youtube would need to do some speciam thing to broadcast stuff in germany acording to law. (Don’t know if it was pay, register or whatever.)

Yes our government hates freedom, every live show that has the potential to reach lots of listeners/viewers requires a costly broadcasting licence from the thieving bureaucrats.
