TORA 12 Hours of Nurburgring Live Stream announcement and opportunity

TORA Community,

Last night Twitch made a change to their Video Services, to where there is now a 30 second delay from the video being streamed to when the viewer see's the video. This is turn makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible for multiple commentators to comment on the race without all commentators being in the lobby at the same time. More information on this is here --> http://blog.twitch.tv/2013/12/service-update-major-video-system-update-and-prague-is-online/

Petitions are being raised for Twitch to turn back this decision and (un)development and go back to the old way. To stream under such conditions in the meantime would provide a poor experience for the viewer and confused commentators, so therefore I have taken the decision not to stream on the TORA channel in order to maintain channel integrity until such time this issue is resolved.

Instead I will stream the first few hours from my personal channel, most likely with me the sole commentator so that the event does still get some sort of coverage. If there is anyone else streaming this event, or can stream this event on their personal channels I will forward any viewers which join onto those channels when I have to end my stream. If you are stream, please let me know ASAP and I will do this.

Sorry for any inconvenience, and have a great race guys!

Thank You
Simon Biggs

Updated original post with announcement

I'm able to stream for the entire race and will focus on B Lobby.
Commentary may be a bit sparse but I'll try to keep standings for the lobby as up to date as possible.

Will be live at: http://www.twitch.tv/bg_cowboy when the race starts.

B lobby is going to get more coverage than A lobby! That's a first!

I could help with commentary if you want Cowboy
But with the Delay it may not be great

Got tech problems right now. Software isn't seeing my capture device.
Working on it and should hopefully be fixed soon-ish.

Now ... where's my hammer   

Fixed - will be up and running from Stint 2

The stream is stuttering and Buffering for me and I have tried multiple ways of fixing it. It has to be on your end cowboy. IDK what else to do.

Anyone know who's streaming stint 3 A lobby??

dont think any 1 is dude, twitch has had a bit of massive issue last night so all our streaming could only be done by 1 person

Ooh :-(
Will stint 1 be archived anywhere so I can watch it?

i hope so, because watching you and bullet was great

Thanks. I didn't get to watch any of it.... I was too busy trying not to screw up too bad. I hear it was a pretty good scene tho. :-)

Forza Racing Hungary withdraw due to the huge delay

it an incredible race speed. I had a blast watching it. I wish a lobby was streaming now, its killing me not knowing how we are doing.

anybody know if the stream will be back for the final stints?

It will be. Lobby C Stint 5 and Lobby A Stint 6

Top job Cowboy!!!!

Finished streaming.
Hope you all enjoyed.

I think the videos will stay on my Twitch channel for a couple of days if you want to watch them back there but I'll also be uploading them to Youtube too.

thanks for streaming Cowboy, was great

A Youtube playlist of my videos from this event can be found here: >>LINK<<

Anyone know how I can watch the 1st stint A room? Wet to twitch.tv but it won't play on my phone or xbox. Downloaded the twitch app but it only shows live streams... :'(

@SP33D RAC3R: It should be put on youtube in the next couple days.

Thank you streaming Cowboy! At times I had trouble finding hosts for all the lobbies, but I never once had to worry about the live stream. You were awesome jumping from lobby to lobby! Thank you!

The one from Sbiggstv will be on YouTube??
