Torrents, Youtube, maybe here. Recording the fiawec.com stream would be easy if it is not encrypted, but it was the last time (Spa).

Am I the only one who has serious trouble navigating the new Eurosport site? Would like to have an account set up before it all starts.
Or would you recommend the WEC stream instead?

I haven't decided yet which I'm going to get

Not sure it has been posted here before but it looks like we're getting proper "all-around the circuit" coverage all night this year, not just the Bugatti parts.

Looks like they hired a few more cameramen, hopefully that will also apply to free practice

deggis · 9 Jun 2015, 13:48 (Ref:3546507)

That was revealed some time ago and since mentioned couple of times in different places, specifically mentioning "all cameras manned". All? That I don't believe but even a few at the right places will make a big difference.

Well, some of the angles won't make much sense during the night I guess. The long shots down the Mulsanne will show nothing but constant headlights approaching the camera, that's not really of any use for the viewers.

Beats endless pit footage though... altough even in daylight availability of other angles has not stopped the director from showing endless pit footage

Those rare Mulsanne headlight blaze shots we've seen are awesome, I'm welcoming more of such with open arms. And infinitely more authentic than the unnecessary night-for-day Formula 1 floodlight lameness you see at CotA & Bahrain 6 hours.

Nice one, hadn't heard about it so thanks for the heads up!

Deleted · 9 Jun 2015, 17:49 (Ref:3546587)

I suspect they will still have limited circuit coverage until warm-up starts Sat morning.

For some reason it insists on automatically switching to eurosportplayer.de with the whole thing being in German, although I'm not in Germany...

Is there a web guru who knows how to avoid this happening (w/o using a proxy)?

Anyway, I'm considering buying a 1 month subscription, AS LONG as it has the natural sounds audio track like it did in years before. Can anyone confirm that it's available this year?

That's pretty weird... what does this say? http://www.tracemyip.org

Maybe there is no Ukrainian version of it and it just redirects to DE for some stupid reason. With a VPN/proxy you could buy any version you want (just don't use Hola).

I don't think it shows up until the sessions start, so earliest confirmation can happen tomorrow. But it has been there for the past two years. Know that it wasn't in streaming-HD quality, unlike the actual channels (1 and 2).

Pandamasque · 9 Jun 2015, 20:54 (Ref:3546658)

I'm sure it was very lovely HD last year, cause I watched it that way with natural sounds and RLM stream for commentary, which I could pause to get in perfect sync with the pictures. Considering that the WEC app thing is to have some sort of new commentary team, I'm really hopeful for eurosportplayer.

PS: tracemyip locates me correctly in Ukraine.

Haha that was easy enough.. I tried eurosport.com and got confused.

Can't wait for practice tomorrow!

I'm pretty sure it wasn't. Ok quality, but no the highest quality, same as when HD isn't available in some countries (which makes no sense).

I even took screenshots:

British Eurosport 2 - 8PM to 8:45PM UK - Cycling (not even live)
(race continues on ES1 at 8:30 UK)

International Eurosport 2 - 8PM to 8:30PM UK - Le Mans 24 Hours Race Coverage (live)

deggis · 9 Jun 2015, 23:33 (Ref:3546692)

Whatever is known about Eurosport Player needs to refreshed because it is getting relaunched TODAY.

http://corporate.eurosport.com/news-detail/?id=3726

Here's hoping they'll get rid off Silverlight. HTML5 pls.

Now I definitely don't know which pay stream to get. First world problem.

Hmm let's hope it's a mistake and love coverage will switch to ES2 like it does on Sunday morning when 24 minutes comes on. If it doesn't change by Friday they'll be getting an email/tweet...

Why wouldn't you get Eurosport Player? What are the actual advantages of the ACO paywall, apart from no Silverlight you hate so much?

TF110 · 9 Jun 2015, 23:44 (Ref:3546695)

Can you purchase eurosport feed in the U.S. going through a vpn? Ive never done it before so Im new to this.

WEC one has slightly better quality* imho, has onboards, no channel swapping & commercial breaks if you want to have a feed with commentary, to get HD* (because not available in some locations which makes absolutely no sense) and English* commentary (because audio/language options = Scandinavian languages) you need to use VPN trickery.

Plus possibiility to sniff the direct links from fiawec.om and play them in external media player if they're not again encrypted, of course this isn't an officially supported way of watching

* assuming the site revamp has no effect on these

Should work. You may also need to keep the VPN on when logging in/watching. Just don't use Hola VPN.

I think for non-Europeans it would be just easier to get the fiawec.com one.

Deleted · 10 Jun 2015, 01:13 (Ref:3546708)

There's only three times the whole week the broadcast is temporarily on ES2 instead of prime channel so I don't think there's too much worry about channel switching if you want to follow on the primary channels. The dedicated feed, we'll have to see how it is this year.

The WEC stream doesn't have 3 hour window rewind options. And they don't broadcast the Legends race (I think) and the 24 minutes (however lame they are). Dunno about morning warm-up, does ACO bother with that in their stream?

Also Eurosport Player is cheaper.

I don't know if "Eurosport 360" for Xbox shares any content with Player but up there it says to have pitlane, garage and onboard content.
http://www.24h-lemans.com/wpphpFichi...v-24h-2015.pdf

Of course as you said we don't really know about the actual changes this new ES version is going to bring.

Anyway, the only real downside for me is those annoying regional restrictions if you have signed up vanilla. Scandic language services...

TF110 · 10 Jun 2015, 01:30 (Ref:3546711)

I read earlier that if you purchase the LM feed from the official site you can login on 5 different devices.

Warmup: I'd rather sleep well in preparation for the race, Legends: irrelevant to me when it is not GrC, so I don't put any value these aspects.

ES maybe has better commentary.

Probably not, ESP is separately listed under iptv/web. Wouldn't be surprised if those 360s ones mean streams from Youtube etc.

Btw in that pdf besides the official app it says "Pay only: Full time keeping, Free: short form time keeping", what does that mean? How can you even cripple the live timing more since it doesn't even show sector times?

It doesn't matter how you sign up (as long as you sign up from Europe), the localization isn't based on the signup but each session/login.
