But why ;__;, livestream lags my firefox less.
I can't view JTV properly without firefox crashing.

Even when you switch it to the old layout? o.o

Firefox crashes on me often using their newer layout.

TONIGHT - QUALITY MIGHT ACTUALLY BE BEAUTIFUL

I just experimented around and figured a better streaming formula for PSP.  Not 100% full screen though but it looks better then it has ever been haha.  If I get my PSN ticket code e-mailed tonight I'll add some DLC songs or something.  Probably Story or Free produce though.

Aiming to start - 7:00 pacific GMT -8 (3 hours from this post)

See you there? xD

[h4ataraxia]

oh no u dont u idort, my quality was naise too :K

[digi162]

I meant better than it has been for me haha

[digi162]

I like how it feels I keep bumping this up like I have important updates or something when I don't

TODAY - IT'S ALL ABOUT VICTORY, THE BEST OF THE BEST

For those of you who missed afterhours im@s last night, there's some L4U in the archive :3
Today I'll do some broadcasting and maybe I can get h4ataraxia to do some as well.  Or anyone else who wants to try their luck today let me know.  I got some more credit on my PSN account so if there are DLC songs or something you want to see Office mode wise let me know.

EDIT: OH SNAP we have two badges, one for broadcasting in HQ, another for being an awesome channel.

[h4ataraxia]

broadcasting tomorrow 8/17, 6:30 pacific.

first 15-20 mins of my MADS and then L4U requests.
(If my internet doesnt die out) :K

Got a schedule posted on the first post containing all the broadcast dates for this week that I'm aware of.  If you want to broadcast on a day or add another timeslot on a day let me know.  Or if you have a video, etc. you want broadcasted but don't have the means to, let us know.  Pretty decent first week thanks to all those who have helped    It'd be awesome to be able to fill out that schedule.

On Saturday I want to try something different.  I listed something called AFTERHOURS but I haven't thought it all out yet.  Thinking about broadcasting a bunch of remixed idolm@ster song vids while having a chat session for anyone who wants to join in or something?  I'm hoping DLC comes out this week, would be nice to do that instead

[Picup]

I'll try to catch Monday's broadcast.  I remember I use to spend a lot of time watching 4pp on justintv.

This'll be interesting and fun~

To anyone who was watching the unscheduled Iori free produce ending thing just now, thanks for watching

Next show should still be on Friday.  If anyone is still interested in participating the front page should answer any question.

[digi162]

Sorry for the crap-cast tonight.  Too many errors going on with my end and JTV end so I just stopped it for tonight since I didn't have much planned.  I might try again later at 11 GMT -8 with that Afterhours thing since I have that setup still.  Tomorrow I'm still aiming to finish up a Yukiho Free Produce.

Next week I'll be getting as much of the new DLC as possible so if you want to see the dress and some of the songs I might have it ready depending on how fast that comes out   I might wait a bit to see if I can find some video previews if the new song is 150 each @_@  Still hoping it's 150 for all but I doubt it.

I also wanted to add some sort of segment for anyone who wants to broadcast something but is too confused on it or don't know how.  Or you don't want to do a long segment, etc.  If you have some videos on youtube or want to make some sort of video, make sure it's uploaded on youtube or some place I could pull it from and I could put it on my PSP to broadcast.  Do a whole forum show or something haha.  Just an idea I'm juggling around.

Won't don't we show some of the DS stuff, and maybe start a once-in-a-while segment to show off something DS related to get people in-the-know about that (if people who aren't Project iM@S member watch that is xD). Just a suggestion.

And I notice no one's doing commentary on game-playing? xD You said you didn't have interesting stuff to say? Skyyyype meee (meower62442), I can help with saying interesting stuff (specially if you run a free or story produce, I always am commenting on the little Japanese that I understand when playing xD).

[digi162]

Tried to do commentary on the very first broadcast but it was hard to hear the audio coming from the game.  I could go back and try and improve that setup so the game audio is more clear/less white noise, but that's something I'd have to work on.  Right now it's just me and H4 working on the channel and we're barely broadcasting as is.  If we had like say 5 people broadcasting then surely we could get one broadcaster to setup commentary.  Another thought I had was to buy an audio mixer/soundboard or get a microphone with L/R audio output.   Although that might not go smoothly since it would probably end up being two different audio sources with the mic, one in each ear if you're wearing headphones.  The other option would be to record audio commentary and layer it on top of recorded video but if I went that route I'd make it more purposeful like teaching/explaining etc.

Skype poses problems as well.  If you're watching and doing commentary, it's going to be delayed commentary if I opened up skype on my end and fed it into a mic.  Broadcast has a several second delay, so if you make commentary on what you see on the channel, you're watching something that happened a moment ago live for me.  For instance, whenever I check the channel after finishing an audition, usually it's displaying the middle segment of the last appeal round.  So if you were to say "yay Yukiho won the audition," your audio would probably show up delayed during the TV appearance.

I would show some DS stuff but I'm not a big fan of the system nor the DS version of im@s
Sure it could get mentioned or do a short thing on it before it comes out, but I don't want to generate a hype wagon for something I'm not personally interested in.  Hence why I'd be cool to have more people participate, so those who do get that version could show it off or those interested in it could talk about it.

Yes, on the first cast the noise was actually louder than the game sound. When I tried to increase my volume, the game sound was only drowned out even more. Your voice could be heard okay, though.  

To say nothing about the sound of you typing on the keyboard.  

Seriously, though, it would be really great to get commentary going sooner or later.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, couldn't you have game sound and mic sound on separate lines? And listen to the game sound yourself in headphones?

[nyachan]

Hm, that's usually how it goes when you do a stream with commentary (mic volume louder than the game), and I get that you want people to hear the game's sound, there might be a way to up that volume separately, Iunno. As for convo-lag, it depends on JTV that night, since it doesn't always lag badly like it has some nights. I have seen skype-convo'd gaming streams and the conversation's aren't hit by lagged comments.

Once I get my laptop back (It's drive had a major issue and has to be fixed), I'd be willing to do some of the preview segments with a little commentary (or not, depends how I feel that day xD) if I can get a set-up going. I'd be able to stream off my desktop's screen the videos right off youtube probably, but iunno, never done this stuff before. As for streaming DS when it is released/when I get it, DS games can only be streamed via Emulator or a Webcam. The only webcam I have is built into my Laptop, not exactly very movable. xD; Would have to get, like, a USB webcam or something to properly stream that.
