Think I'll go for the Eurosport player option, can play it on my Smart TV and will also get coverage of the British Superbikes from Knockhill later in June Only thing that would make me consider the ACO offering is if it had RLM synced with it...

It probably has (?), but you can just mute the ES feed and put RLM audio on background... the sync shouldn't be overly terrible

One minus with ES player for me is the piece of crap called Silverlight (assuming that they still use it). And quality might be better on the fiawec.com one if ES player still has limited availability of ES1 HD?
Of course still possible that ACO has not fixed their security loophole in which case the decision is easy... :P |

After looking at the racing broadcast schedule in the latest racer magazine,my worst fear is true.the 24 hours of Le Mans will be hacked up between fs1 and fs2 on both Saturday and Sunday between NASCAR and other crap.
So now I hope the wec app works like it did for silverstone and spa,I will have no problem paying for the Le Mans version app if I can stream the race in full on my iPad.i hope it works out,last year I missed Le Mans due to family issues but I don't want to miss it again because fox sports foolishness. |

I think we've known this for a while but it's confirmed the app won't use RLM comms, now making the ACO version totally inferior to ES Player.

I don't have my own reason for disliking other commentating teams simply due to me not having heard much of them. I do know that I do enjoy RLM, though.
Will RLM use the ACO feed? (Can I watch the ACO feed muted with RLM going at the same time? Or will RLM be commentating on something likely not on whatever video feed I've got?) I think I tried getting the ES player once upon a long time ago and was quickly shut down due to United States location. I'd also assume there are work arounds, but how reliable are they? |

My fear is that if I have to mute the ACO stream to hear the RLM stream. RLM don't play the audio from the stream. Quite often what you hear is them commentating about the race with the only car sounds being the ones passing right outside their commentators booth.
Whereas with the ACO and FS1/FS2 streams they harmonize this aspect. Sound from track cameras comes through simultaneously with the commentators voices. |

This is the garbage broadcast US fans are going to get. http://sportscar365.com/lemans/leman...mans-coverage/ FOX SPORTS BROADCAST SCHEDULE (SUBJECT TO CHANGEall times ET): Saturday, June 14 – 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM (FOX Sports 1, LIVE) Saturday, June 14 – 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM (FOX Sports 2, LIVE) Saturday, June 14 – 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM (FOX Sports GO, LIVE) Saturday, June 14 – 6:30 PM to 1:00 AM (FOX Sports 2, LIVE) Saturday, June 14 – 1:00 AM to 7:30 AM (FOX Sports 1, LIVE) Sunday, June 15 – 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM (FOX Sports 2, LIVE) *Entire race streamed LIVE on FOX Sports GO its better than nothing but if this is all I get I'll miss 9 hours and the finishing 2 hours,almost no one has FS2!and even though it says entire race on fox sports go app,it's not because the app is cable provider driven.and if your provider (comcast!)doesn't have fs2 then guess what you miss out on the fs2 portions on the app! At this point I don't care who is commentating the wec app(hindy gets annoying at times anyway) as long as it doesn't get geo blocked here in the US I will pay for the app again to watch the entire stream on my ipad! If not I'll just go work eventhough I ask for the day off to watch this dang race. |

Seems to have worked fine during the French Open, on both laptop and Smart TV (not Full HD quality but much better than Freeview SD channels in the UK, especially ITV4!). And doesn't use much CPU, compared to the Eurosport HD stream I had in VLC last year.

Its best for me to have fs1 on, then the stream from various sources (vipbox, reddit etc.) for the commercials. Then once that fs1 is over, fall back on the streams until fs1 comes back. Its going to suck watching the small screen during the huge time fs1 does other sports. Hopefully the pc will hook up to the tv for a better view.

I made a new thread: http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=141812
because there were now three threads (this, Eurosport and non-Eurosport threads) talking about the same thing. |
