WheelsUpHammerDown10 1,574 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I remember people really grilling OCFS earlier this season on their broadcast streaming. Has anyone purchased recently? has it gotten better? I'm getting cabin fever already on race season and was considering purchasing Saturday's event, but I also don't want to waste my time with a terrible product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

westracing01 464 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I'll give it a little more time, then just dispute it through paypal and call it a day. I shouldn't have expected it to work right. Nothing else with OCFS ever does. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickey55 21 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Wow! I thought I was the only one experiencing this diifficulty. Seems like they have a problem on their biggest weekend of the year. Lots of races and nobody to watch it. Wow. Has this happened previously this year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westracing01 464 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I sent an email to support@inplayer.com. I'll wager they don't even know what I'm talking about. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickey55 21 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I as well sent a couple of messages. No response as of yet except the standard maybe it's a problem with your stuff. Try this and try that. Nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westracing01 464 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I got a response back and the correct email. jimhouston1@mac.com The stream was running... But not very well. Keeps freezing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jumper12a 1,539 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Mines been running for the last 15 minutes or so, zero issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WheelsUpHammerDown10 1,574 Posted October 23 Author Share Posted October 23 I think I'm going to hold off for today and maybe consider tomorrow as long as it seems their issues have been worked out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Brady 425 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I think they are still using Spectrum which has given them almost all their problems since they started streaming their events. It's also consistently rated one of the lowest Internet Service Providers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westracing01 464 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Double whammy since that's what I have... So, on my computer, it's damn near flawless. If I try to play it from my phone to my TV, it's garbage. So I just dialed up an adapter at Best Buy so I can hook my work computer to my TV and play it that way.

racer80 1,523 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 My experience this years has been this: If it's not streamed by DTDTV, then it's not worth the trouble 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also had great luck with DirtVision. I did enjoy the handful of DTD.TV purchases I have made. Their pre-race coverage last week for the Speed Showcase 200 was outstanding as well as the video and feed from the actual race. Wish Mallett was calling the race, but ah well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DowntheBackStretch 1,597 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Giant Bummer.....makes me feel kinda bad for them cuz ya know they arent doing it on purpose. Lol. I havent ordered any events at all yet but from what I hear DTD is great and I know I've heard Land of Legends runs some pretty cool coverage with their setup and they interview drivers live right in the car after they have turned some laps.

westracing01 464 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Actually, as long as you're running it on a computer and not trying to cast to the TV from another device, OCFS stream is working pretty well. The director leaves a little to be desired and Pitts is over the top with his call, but the actual stream is not bad. I give OCFS a lot of grief because I don't like the place, but I will also call it fair and this is working pretty well now. BB Time Trials going out now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jumper12a 1,539 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Once it started, it’s been perfectly fine on my end. Streaming through the Silk App on the Stick of Fire thing. On a side note, Tims Pitts & the dude commentating next to him, are awful!!! Fonda is “The Land Of Legends”. Vic Coffey is in the 32c, Mike Perrotte is in the 35, Tim Spears Jr has made an appearance with the 62s. Hasn’t Pitts been announcing NE Modified racing for over 30 years??? 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderSpeed78 0 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Working good on my end. On TV either use Firestick and stream through Silk or if your TV is smart just use the browser on your TV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westracing01 464 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Pitts is trash and so is this other baffoon. LOL. It's like amateur hour. Why does OCFS have this aura of having to be different? Like, it's a sickness out there where they just can't seem to do things that are proven and have to do it their way even when their way is clearly not optimal. This whole broadcast would be hilarious if it weren't so sad. Whatever. They have my money and I'm being entertained one way or another. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westracing01 464 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 This is borderline intolerable. They're coming to green, so they switch to the pit reporter for the interview with the previous heat winner. In doing this, they miss the first two laps of a live race... Every... Single... Heat. The camera guy in the half covered stands can't find the front stretch to save his life. I swear, for a place that makes noise about being professional and wanting bigger races, they've got a LONG way to go before they're in that conversation. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was horrible. Who cuts away from the green flag drop for every heat to interview a GD heat race winner. By the time they returned to the races the field is all strung out and not one car passes in any heat while we watched. And leaving the hot mike as we were waiting for the sportsman heats and the crew swearing about the graphics guy. BTW you can take the sun filters off of the cameras after dark. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
