Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

I'm surprised about the relative silence about this subject at TMO. Just a few days until the 2010 World Cup starts and i can't find any announcements about live-videostream sources that would work on the n900. All there will be at this moment are p2ptv streams which obviously are no choice for this device. ARD and ZDF, local TV-Stations here in Germany offer streams, but guess what, Flash10 is required. I'm not sure if WorldTV is of any help. I want to avoid having to buy a DVB-T stick and stream the games via knots2, so if anyone knows or finds any sources, whether official or "dark" ones, which stream all the games in watchable quality please post them here.

myp2p.eu
this is my favorite site to watch any kind of sports live and most of them are media player streaming, so all I do is grab that media player http and add that to my N900 and voila I have the streaming of live games through native media player in N900 nothing is better than that.
similarly i wathced the 2010 superbowl with some exceptions.

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

atdhe.net works too. Playing it natively in the media player would be awesome though

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

Hmm got any other sites with http streams for the media player with prgramming other than sports? :p

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

check out the site i listed it has live tv too.
of-course no porn:p

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

Yay :) I was hoping to find a website to watch FIFA games :D

thanks somedude

Canadians dont like soccer :(

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

you are welcome.
hhahaha I was telling some people at work that starting the 11th I am going to be very busy watching the football, and they were like the season has not started yet then I was arghhhhhhhh SOCCER.

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

Meh, I work from home, so I'll catch most of the matches I want to see. If not, there's the DVR, and I stil have my WinMo phone with slingmobile if I'm caught out clothes shopping with the lady.

However if slingmobile for Android drops in the next week or so, I'll pick up a mid/high level phone that's compatible with AT&T or T-Mo, since it will no doubt have better hardware than my Moto Q.

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

hey is there a specific codec pack required? I have the additional codec pack, however when I try to play the tv streams I get audio briefly with a green screen....

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams

Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Does anyone know where I can watch the world cup online? I keep getting a black screen and it won't load. Can anyone help please?

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

I'm using www.tvcatchup.com and clicking on the low res tab. The advert is jittery but once the channel loads click full screen and just leave it be... It should run pretty smooth after a few seconds.

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

That doesn't work for me because I'm in the US. Anyone else?

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Booo, sorry.

Should of checked.

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Here in Australia one of our telecom companys called Optus is streaming it for free for mobile users. They even released a iPhone app ofcoarse, my n900 doesnt seem to be able to play it though :(

Firefox is the only browser than can log into the account section and when you click the "watch live" link the media player takes over and dies.

the link the media player is fed is somthing like:

rtsp://rtsp.optus-football.com.au/~ etc etc ~/wc_channel_a_h263.sdp

Its sad somtimes that theres so much exclusive support for the iPhone and Nokia getting no love :(

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

It really is sad. Anyone else have a solution?

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

U couls download Mplayer and paste the rtsp link in there seeif it plays. It is in Extras I think.

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

rtsp link? What is that?

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Someone mentioned a website: www.myp2p.eu but I can't get anything working with the N900. On the PC using aoftware like TVU or Sopwith it works. Anyone got a solution for watching it on the N900 outside the UK?

Damn british b*stards..with you iBBC and Tvcatchup..learn to share :P

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

^Agreed!! The N900 can't seem to open the media player on ESPN's website or any other website for that matter. What's up with that?

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

That will work on the N900?

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Thanks nosa101 but ,with myp2p I could watch in the browser. But flash is too unreliable. Do you know of any streaming links that I could use in mplayer or the media player?

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

When I try tvcatchup it wants to launch the link in the N900s built in media player and then whinges: 'unable to open playlist corrupted'

How did you get around that?

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Have you tried it?

I wish I did

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

ESPN has the games in the US. I have forgotten if they have N900 compatible video. I believe it's probably Flash based. I just watched the South Africa - Mexico game on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) . Next game is 1430.

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

you can try the links at channelsurfing.net

i havent tried them yet, but they are flash players usually. If there is a real stream behind the flash player, sometimes you can figure it out from source view

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

Just like to say I watched the entire mexico - SA game on a firstrow link and it was great. Perhaps two spots where it stuttered (I was on wifi) but the rest of the time perfect. I checked it against the TV broadcast and it was perhaps 5 seconds delay - you cant beat that.

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

try channelsurfing.net

it uses a flash player but i am usually able to watch it with a good connection

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Where the link to start with the browser?
or what's the full rtsp link?
Thanks.

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

Agreed, just saw the France game on a 3G connecton (battery is dead now). firstrow is the best.

Re: Fifa World Cup livestreams
 

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

If one must have the BBC broadcasts, use this instead

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

i'm using www.justin.tv.com
there is also www.rojadirecta.org
there you just select the match you want to see
but it would only work with the links that says web (flash) or ustream or justin just click on play

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

You have to setup optus WAP, make a new GPRS connection using the fapn app.

Optus Zoo:
APN: wap.optus.net.au
Homepage: networker.optus.net.au/wap/index.wml
Connection mode: TCP with Proxy
Proxy IP: 202.139.83.152
Port: 8070

once thats setup goto web.optuszoo.com.au using firefox and follow the FIFA link. If theres a match on itll have a link to stream it.

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Thanks so much for this mate. I've been trying to figure this out for about 2 weeks now without any luck. I had set up the WAP but Optus gave me the wrong details so it didn't do anything.

Have you tried this with a different media player at all? :confused: It's crashing on me too. It would be awesome if I could get this working because I get **** reception for SBS at my place and it doesn't work at all on digital so I've been watching all the games on the net and it's eating into my download limit.

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

Anybody tried ESPN3.com?

Re: Watch World Cup with N900?
 

ESPN uses Move Media Player which is a proprietary DRM plugin. It won't work on N900 (or desktop Linux for that matter). So forget about ESPN unless you can find a third-party (illegal) stream.
