USDGC/WNC Live Streaming Packages

How do I get to the live stream...I bought a pass, but I can't get to it...it tells me that next round will be tomorrow...

Same here. I tested it today for a minute while at work and it was working fine. Now I'm home and ready to watch. The FAQs said full DVR controls would be available and live coverage would be available until end of October. I emailed support@inplay but no response yet.

You guys may have already figured this out or your results may vary, but I was able to follow the link in my email receipt, then click on "Event Posts" in the top right corner of the video box. A drop-down menu appeared with the replays of the FPO and MPO coverage from today.

I would highly recommend not engaging with oldmandiscer on anything political. His posts in the politics forum show that that is a door you do not want to open.

He is purely and simply an attention seeking troll. Take his advice, ignore stupid people.

OMG it was amazing. Best $40 I've ever spent.

In all seriousness it was good. Clear picture and zero hiccups, and the commentary by Ian & Philo was mostly good as well. Nate Sexton was roaming the course and provided some commentary early in the round too, but then they either forgot about him or he had to leave.

They went off the air almost immediately after the feature card finished, so then I switched over to DG Network which was good too. Interviewed McBeth & Barela and showed Conrad's ring ceremony.

Did you enjoy the "wrap up" show style? It is something new for us so we don't exactly have a lot of input or feedback.

Thanks for watching.

Just finished watching the WNC R1.

Hopefully the producers will get better, it seemed all too often that they would jump to the FEA2 card, while FEA1 was walking to the tee, then stay with FEA2 so long, they missed a lot of the FEA1 shots.
Certainly hope they can get that cleaned up as the tournament goes on.

Thanks for watching.

The interview with Paul was really strong. Going over the round with video highlights, very similar to golf interviews on CBS. Good interview of Barela as well, pretty sure that's the first time I've heard him speak. I was getting distracted somewhat with work but I enjoyed everything I saw.

Can't wait to watch that lead card tomorrow and will check out the wrap up again too. Can Barela keep it going?? opcorn:

I purchased the Live Pass thinking I would be able to at least watch the replay of the event later on after work. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I know I don't get the condensed coverage but would they at least put up the full video from the live coverage? Awful tech and customer support.

Then click on the upper right icon. I think that should work.

Read the fine print. Tech and customer service is an extra 20 bucks.

I get the icon when pulling up the page on my laptop, but it's not there from my phone in either Chrome or Safari, even when requesting desktop site.

Might mean a trip to the store so I can chromecast from my laptop.

So that "event posts" button only shows when I go to the site on my PC. I just checked through my phone again and it is not there. Does anyone else see that option on the screen on their phone?

 

[Flick Maniac]

I can get it up on my phone (Nokia 8/Android) if in desktop mode.

Save the obvious jokes on getting it up. I just phrased it like that to tease.

Also, re: the broadcast, quoting myself from the other thread

I give the broadcast a solid 8,5/10

Gripes:
-where did Sexton disappear? Just a few random inputs up to hole 5ish and then nothing? They said him becoming available for sideline reporting came too late to get him set up. Dude, they had the one "extra" camera that could jump to a hot card (which it didnt, see case Barela). Could have had Nate on that

-need better switching. Especially today when all cards dont start at E for the round, i.e lead card really is lead card. I dont want to miss ONE shot from that card today.

Regardless, good flow, not interrupted by commercials, ok camera work. A few times it was weird on big hyzers. Not sure the drone adds much (like, panoramic drone views are cool, but you could pretty much use previously shot video. Doesnt really do me much that its live. "oh wow those are REALLY the guys walking around there as ants right now!")


Edit. The play also progressed very much smoothly due to less distance penalty. I say keep the hazard.

I actually got a quick response from inplayer support ... you need to hold your phone in Landscape mode for the "event posts" button to appear. It does not appear in Portrait mode. Seems kind of lame. I guess I am getting old and need my kids to move back home to help me out with this technology stuff - LOL.

 

[Dsharp]

Anyone else having an issue with the player periodically pausing for no reason? I'm casting it to my TV, and keep having to pull it back up on the phone and un-pause it.

 

[McCready]

Pretty funny moment during Eagle's post-round interview — Eagle says he's up two strokes on Dickerson and Jamie quickly looks over at Terry as if to say "Do we tell him?".

Is it possible to watch the live stream through a Roku on a TV?

 

[DannyS]

I was able to watch it on a TV with a Firestick. I had to download a web browser (Amazon Silk) and that worked fine. As long as you can download a browser on a Roku, it should work.

Thanks. I just connected my laptop to my TV with an HDMI cable. It's a little inconvenient but oh well.

They need to get that figured out, especially if they are going to charge an outrageous price like $20 for 1 tournament. DGPT definitely has them beat in that regard with the Disc Golf Network channel. I thought the broadcast and the commentary was about the same as DGPT. No complaints. I wasn't going to pay it but then I just decided to think of it as a $20 sponsorship. I'm not willing to pay $20 to watch but I'm willing to pay $20 just to sponsor the event. I'll just tell myself the watching came free with my $20 sponsorship. Ha ha.
