Hi everyone.

The EVE TV team would like to pass on our apologies for the issues viewers encountered while watching today's stream of the Alliance Tournament. We had several drops in the stream that resulted in a restart of the feed which combined with the built in delay ruined the enjoyment of several matches. We also had audio sync issues throughout the day.

The team here has investigated these issues and we've now made several changes that we believe will solve these problems. We also have several action points ready to be used if we encounter similar problems tomorrow.

I'd also like to add that we have no reason to believe that any of the issues were caused by Own3d.tv and they have been very supportive in helping us identify issues in the setup on our end.

We hope you'll tune in tomorrow to enjoy day 6 of the tournament.

It always amazes me how you CCP, says things like they are and don't wrap the problem in bad excuses.
However sad it was that the stream broke a few times, it was still a joy to follow.
Keep it up, as i've seen others write aswell you should switch to twitch next year.

Jaceq Ooz, you can find the whole show from last night at http://www.own3d.tv/CCPGames
it's not broken into single fights i'm sure that will come on youtube later on, it does take a big effort to edit all that :)

Keep up the good work CCP!

Hai Loxy,

In addition to the drops and the audio desync there was also a 50hz hum in the left audio channel. Did you notice this as well?

It is better to know than to believe... Maybe just a bad choice of words on your side, but if not then test it. You will then know if it works.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Second the twitch.tv over own3d. Twitch has an iOS app and hate them or not apple devices cannot watch the stream due to not running flash.

There may be a hack out there or something but cutting out millions of potential mobile users is bad.

Was ccp aware that you can't watch own3d on your iphone4s but you can watch twitch on a dedicated app before committing to own3d and why did you pick them over twitch.tv?

Just curious behind the thinking on that one...

Great to hear, the audio sync was driving me up the wall.

You guys feel good about the setup scaling to the 30k+ viewers the finals may draw? It was great the first 2 weekends, but it didn't seem to be many more people watching yesterday. Was just odd.
