excuse me - do you has a flavor?

I hope it was as good for you guys as it was for me Smiley

But it would be really nice if it could be an hour or two earlier.

Great stream. Can we have a link to that LINQ LIGHT stuff you guys mentioned? Thanks Charles!

I agree with Chadk. 3 Pacific Time is 6 PM Easter Time; that mean dinner time for many of us from east coast.... Wink

It finds lightbulbs.

That was cool.

I think the stream worked well. There was a moment when the quality went way down and then came back up, but it transitioned smoothly so I guess it was doing the adaptive quality bandwidth whatever thing based on a dip in bandwidth, or something.

Hi guys! Loved the show watched it live at midnight! (so would be nice if it could be a bit sooner)

Some feedback:
# The player showed white vertical stripes in the timeline in the beginning, was that to indicate chapter? Was not really obvious since moving arround it did not really provide visual feedback

# Skipping back and forward during live stream worked perfectly!

# I would love to be able to SET the bandwith limits used (like in the smooth streaming video demo with Big Bug Bunny). Because in belgium our download limits are quite low and i don't want to spoil all of my limit on HD content of 2 people sitting in chairs (or some other video's on channel 9 who don't really need HD or high quality. I would LOVE this feature

# When the show stopped streaming skipping back arround the timeline and trying to view some earlier stuff frose up the IE8 completely. Does this mean the video's are not avaibale on demand directly after the show? Is this not possible? And then why is skipping during the stream possible?

That said, again, great show guys!!

TWOC9 Live ROCKED!

And yes, it started at 11pm here in the UK, but that's cool, who isn't online at 11pm? Smiley

The silverlight streaming worked great, I even tried the live rewind feature and it's flawless. I wish you could convine the BBC to use Silverlight for their iPlayer instead of (or as well as maybe) Flash.

Only snaffu was that when you're doing a live event you need to start the stream in advance and put up a still or something. The player was bombing out with "stream unavailable" until the instant the programme started which means anyone who wasn't hammering F5 would have missed the start.
