Stream TV from Japan: Freshverse.com FREE & LIVE!

shrgnatlas · Post by **shrgnatlas** » Jan 23rd, '09, 22:33

For many, this will simply be an alternative to KeyHole or TVU. I have been for many months offering a DVR solution with variants of the Mogulus flash player. It's now been moved to a private server using the JW Player and a 1Gb RTMP.

The quality is probably the finest you'll see from a live stream, but it obviously has it's flaws. I don't have the infrastructure to push out multiple channels at once. There are solutions, but that would require 5, or 10 times the costs I'm currently putting into the project. Also, while the video may be using flash, this also may create problems with users and low end machines. Hopefully the content is compact enough to fit the uses of most, though.

While the DVR stream is delivered in Flash, alternative Analog streams are available using Silverlight. The list is as follows:

Nippon TV
TBS
Fuji TV
TV Asahi
TV Tokyo
Nagoya TV
TV Aichi
NHK Education
NHK General
Animax

You can view these channels using any of the links from the main site, or by clicking the following:

Dedicated High: http://www.freshverse.com/tv_high.php#live
Dedicated Low: http://www.freshverse.com/tv_high.php#live
Analog Region List: http://www.freshverse.com/tv_analog.php#region

I can only hope this will work for users wanting higher quality, or for those who haven't been able to launch the well known alternatives. Also, if anyone can get in me touch with Waryas I'd appreciate it. He isn't returning my calls.

Please note that as of May 22nd, 2009, registration for Freshverse.com now requires an invite code. Sorry for the inconvenience. The reasons have been discussed before, but please remember this service is inherently non-profit and volunteer ran, so distributing content to 1,000 people at once is simply out of the question. If you simply can't find a code, then you can e-mail me if your patient. My e-mail is shrgnatlas@gmail.com.

This is awesome because its high quality and uses flash. I've never seen flash stream live-streams before, didn't think it could, but apparently JW player is some heavy ****... The quality seems slightly better than the TvAnts streams, definitly better than KeyHoleTV, and with no special software needed... Very cool.
How many users can the stream handle?

It is a 1Gb server, so we're looking at around 1,000 concurrent users?

1,000,000 / 768 = 1,302

Yeah, so I don't think we'll be having problems anytime soon.

EDIT: Now you can! Download the Silverlight Applet to enjoy flipping through as many channels as you'd like, (well, as many as are embedded, that is). The service is a 1:1 analog though, so quality is up in the air. Check it out if you already haven't.

reverend · Post by **reverend** » Jan 25th, '09, 15:47

Thanks so much for this.

Is there a chance you could consider AmeTalk for the schedule? It is on at 23:15, TV Asahi on thursdays local time:

http://tv.yahoo.co.jp/program/6752/?dat ... 15&ch=8228

Incidentally, for those of you that are into streams, All the major channels (apart from NHK) are now running on the TVAnts platform. Google it.

I'll put more info in a new topic in a bit

No problem.

2009/01/29 23:15～24:10 ＨＴＢ北海道テレビアメトーーク!

Thursdays 11:15pm JST. Expect it to air, I'll just add it to the DVR in a bit.

How can you register to this service when it requires a registration key ?

You can't even complete an initial user reg without a key and there's no way to
even contact anybody without being registered.

Has this service been discontinued or restricted now ? It's the type of thing i would
not having an issue paying for if it's good quality but if i can't even register it kinda
makes it like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit

triad636 · Post by **triad636** » May 23rd, '09, 20:03

I'd also like to know how to obtain a key for registration.

I'd like to sign up, this looks like a very cool idea. I love keyhole, but better quality would be fantastic.

Can anyone give me a registration key?

is it possible that the streamer of NHK-G could check his antenna out? It appears to have lost the signal.

I'm missing a documentary about an old woman sweeping her front step to the tune of some classic enca song that no one under 60 remembers

I know that, but I was just thinking that are they different TV-channels - because I know a lot of similar channel names.

The servers, before this summer's snafu, were up and running with pretty fair up-time for a good 7 months. Mid July through end of August equated out to what, 6-7 weeks of down-time? I apologize for the confusion, and especially for my absence, but I had no guarantee that I'd have the funding, or a server available to push the stream's relay again.

Low and behold, it all worked out, it just took much longer then I wanted. If you really care for the story, I'll post something later, (or maybe send out a mass PM), but as far as I was concerned it didn't seem like many people were interested. Thanks for the patience, though.

wmcnair370 · Post by **wmcnair370** » Sep 5th, '09, 21:23

Yeah, I read all of the butthead comments on the front page, but some of us actually want freshverse to stay around, and appreciate all of your hardwork. I just worry that I was the one to cause the crash since I sent out a whole lot of invites from mid-Juy to the end on August.
