TPR TV - Soft Opening - Beta Testing - Technical Rehersal!

[Real]

Working fine in Google Chrome as well. No issues I have seen.

[spacemtfan]

Using Internet Explorer and it's working much better now.

 

Thanks Robb!

[slither37]

Works great, no lag at all, using Firefox

[Airtime&Gravity]

It's working fine for me too now, and the log in issue I was having seems to have been fixed.

 

Edit: Never mind, the automatic log in still isn't working.

The forum video played flawless, the TPRTV videos play with a VERY SMALL lag. It only "skipped" once for me, very briefly, so it was probably my connection.

 

One thing I have noticed lately, I use windows Vista and MSIE 7, and auto-update. Very recently, an update has caused a somewhat slight conflict with flash. (ie. flash doesn't act as it should, randomly crashing, or diconnecting connections, whether video or heavy animation.) I have absolutely no problems with FireFox.

It's lagging like a b***h for me. My stupid computer is supposed to be AMAZING broadband. STUPID BIGPOND!

(wes' silent video of magic mountain has definite possibilities...silly people on mute isnt a bad innovation

It's still lagging alot for me But thats

probably just Irish Broadband ( We're

a bit slow when it comes to computers).

But it's improving.

You should have side links to select videos from the different years that videos were taken. Or organize them by the year they were shot from newest to oldest.

It works great! but I cant seem to upload a video. It keeps ending up to be just a black screen! I need help!

[cfc]

The videos are playing perfectly on my parents' kick-butt broadband connection (using Explorer and Vista).

My session keeps expiring when I try to upload a video.

[robbalvey]

^ Try logging out, loggin in and then uploading and let me know what happens.

[24]

^ It worked. Last time the session has expired screen came up when the video was done uploading and it didn't work.

[hyyyper]

For some reason my POV of Troy was switched with the Kennywood video of the Midwest Trip.

 

I reuploaded and now it's fine!

 

 

BTW, I see some two of my old videos were also uploaded, where did you get those? I don't remember uploading them

[nagro5]

All of the videos are still stalling. Is this still happening to anyone else, or is it just me?

[robbalvey]

^ Now that I'm no longer on a cruise ship internet service, I have not had any of the videos stall on my since the new player was installed.

[Divv3k]

Tonight was the first time I've really used TPR TV and I have to say I'm really impressed. Every video I viewed played fine and I uploaded one too which worked perfectly.

 

I love it!

[robbalvey]

Hey everyone!

 

I've just gotten word from my programmer that he has made some changes that may have fixed the session timeout problem.

 

Those of you who have been helping to test could you please try to log into TPR TV now and upload and video and tell me if you're seeing the session time out problem still.

Thank you!

I'm still getting the problem where I watch a bit, but then the video stalls, then I get to watch a bit more, before it stalls again, and so on...

[ebl]

About freakin' time I took a look at this. I only watched the Kentucky Rumbler video and had no problems whatsover loading and watching it. Having Verizon FiOS helps, as it's pretty fast.

 

On a side note, I couldn't help but to wonder how much SFMM's Terminator Salavation: The Ride will be like the Rumbler. Not exactly the same layout, of course, but sustained speed, turns, and some airtime.

 

Now that I've seen one video, I'll stop back and watch others as time permits.

Here is a new test -

 

This one is regarding streaming. I have uploaded two versions of the Kawasemi video. I'd like you to watch both and report on the following:

 

- Streaming - Did you have any problems streaming either version of video? Did it lag? Did it stall?

 

- Visual Quality - Did you notice a significant difference between the two versions?

 

Here are the links:

 

Kawasemi - Large Video File:

Kawasemi - Small File Test:

http://themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=kawasemi_small_3

 

Please only respond if you have watched BOTH videos and can comment on your findings.

 

Thank you!

PS. if you can include your internet speed that would also be helpful. Here is a site you can check your speed: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

[Mike Austin]

The large video stalled on 9, 18, 26 and 30 seconds, and keeps stalling about every 8 seconds.

The small video kept stalling at roughly the same times.

The visual quality of both videos were pretty much equal.

 

Also, if it's helpful for you to know, according to http://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk/, my download speed at the time of testing was about 3000Kbps, and my upload speed about 540Kbps.

Well Robb, I watched both videos and here is what I came across...

 

LARGE VIDEO

- The video stalled, and lagged a lot.

- The picture was crystal clear! It was amazing!!

 

SMALL VIDEO

- The video loaded twice as fast, and did not lag much at all.

- The picture was not nearly as clear, but still good!

 

Personally I would rather have the large video. It took more time to load, but the picture was so much better! It was like watching it in HD! The smaller videos take less time to load, but also are not nearly as high quality... My internet connection is at 100.0 Mbps. Not sure what that means, but thought it might be able to help in some random way!!

No issues on either video. Neither stalled or lagged.

 

The difference in quality was not significant, but the larger file looked slightly better.
