Fixtures:
The Division 1 Playoff Final will be shown on Test Sports on Coolstreaming this afternoon.
Update!
There is a new version of Coolstreaming available: http://coolstreaming.org.nyud.net:8090/Cool_43_exp.exe
Introduction
With the crazy technology these days, it is now possible to watch live football matches on your computer. No longer do you need sky, here you can see all the sky matches, and more!
In this document I will explain in detail exactly how to watch live football on your computer.
Firstly, you must have a broadband internet connection. If you don’t, feel free to try but it almost certainly won’t work.
There are two methods for watching football on your computer, firstly watching a stream and secondly using coolstreaming (more explained later). I shall explain in detail exactly what you need and how you can do this.
Internet Streams
Generally these can be found on the internet fairly easily.
You will need various things:
1. A broadband connection. 512k will be fine, but obviously the faster the better. To see what kind of speeds you're getting from your ISP then check your Internet Connection Speeds from this link – http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp
2. Various media players.
Most streams require winamp. This can be downloaded from here http://www.winamp.com.
Other media players which would be very useful include Windows Media player (WMP) (download here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download) and Real Player (download here: http://uk.real.com/player/?&src=ZG.uk.idx,ZG.uk.rp.rp.hd.def).
Internet streams are easily identifiable by there address name.
If the stream ends in .asx, the stream is a winamp stream. The address must be copied, winamp opened, file and open URL pressed, and the address must be entered in there. The stream should play. Winamp streams are by far the best! (eg http://people.freenet.de/yoshi7/streams/sxtv1.asx)
If the stream begins with mms., the stream is a WMP stream. The address must be copied, WMP opened, file and open URL pressed, and the address must be entered in there. The stream should play. (eg mms://61.139.33.106/espn-1my181999)
If the stream ends with .ram, or begins with RTSP. the stream is a Real Player stream. The address must be copied, Real Player opened, file and open URL pressed, and the address must be entered in there. The stream should play. (eg http://www.rts.co.yu/rts2live.ram)
The stream should now buffer. This will be in percent and will go from 0-100%. This is just the stream loading and buffering is quite a good thing.
If the stream doesn’t buffer, something is wrong. Either you have entered the wrong address, the server doesn’t exist or the server is full. This depends entirely on the message which is displayed.
What happens if your stream constantly buffers making the stream un watchable!
Buffering is generally caused by the load of users connected to that stream, in which the more users the not so good streaming will occur whereas the fewer users connected to the stream the less buffering you will get. This should not happen though if you're on a High Internet Connection such as 1 Meg + as this is a very high connection and anything from this and above you should be receiving really good quality of streams.
There are various things you can do to try and reduce buffering.
Winamp
Open winamp then options/preferences/input, then click on nsv decoder then configure. You can then adjust your buffer from there. Again, remember not all computers are alike, some put all 3 to 60,000, others don't go that high, adjust to what suits you.
Windows Media Player
Go to Tools, Options, Performance (Tab)
Connection Speed
Choose your connection speed: (This will be a connection below your current connection)
DSL/Cable (768kbps)
Network Buffering
Buffer 40 seconds of content
Many people have had different success with the different settings on this in which ideally you can play around with it to see what suits your connection best in which I would recommend something of around 40 as this is what I personally have and everything seems to go smoothly for me although I do get slight buffering at times.
After applying the above settings on the Performance Tab in Windows Media Player go to the Network Tab and make sure you have the below settings applied:
Multicast - Ticked
UDP - Ticked
TCP - Ticked
HTTP - Ticked
Use Ports - Ticked, 7000-7007 to receive data.
With these settings hopefully you can kick back open a Beer and watch the streaming of whatever you want to watch.
Real Player
Go to Tools, Preferences then Connection.
Do much the same as above!
But how do I actually find a stream
Quite often, a stream will be posted in Les’s match updates thread on a match day. But if it doesn’t work or you can’t find one, there are various options.
1. Free sites. There are loads of free stream sites on the web, one of which is run by BBSer CPFC Town http://www.livefootballfree.com/ This is a very good site!!. Unfortunately, the streams from free sites tend to be quite random, poor quality and unpredictable and they often don’t work. But you get what you pay for! These often operate mostly be stealing streams from pay sites. CPFC Town assures me that his site doesn't do this. I very much apologise for tarring him with the same brush as many of the others.
2. Pay sites. Sites such as www.freelivefootball.co.uk offer dependable, high quality streams. This costs just £2.99 for a whole 12.5 months to be a member of and the service is great.
Within the next few months, pay sites will be able to protect their streams. This will prevent stealing, and will give their members higher quality streams and make the free sites redundant.
The commentary is in Chinese, what should I do.
There is nothing that can be done about this unfortunately although the internet radio can be used.
Go to the BBC website and press “Live commentary”.
Open this up in Real Player.
The stream is likely to be about 3 minutes behind. This can easily be synched.
Using a stopwatch, time the lag between the radio and the stream. For example, when Alan Green says “ Ashley Cole clears for a Palace corner”, start the watch. When you see Ashley Cole clear for a Palace corner, stop the watch and note down the time.
In Real Player you can pause the commentary. Pause the radio commentary for the required length of time!
I recommend that you connect to the stream ideally 30 Minutes + before the game actually kicks off oh and don't forget if you have a firewall it may be a good idea to disable it as the firewall may be preventing your stream to work.
You might want to install DIVX Codec's, as they are very useful, you can download them from: http://www.divx.com/divx/download
Only install the Codecs not the actual DIVX Player if your wishing to continue using Windows Media Player, as this is what I've done and its pointless having the DIVX Player unless you want it. Basically the codecs allows the playing of certain files.
Coolstreaming
Coolstreaming is a program which you install on your computer. This program allows you to watch sports channels from around the world.
It works in a similar way to bit-torrent. The more people watching, the better the streams.
The image on here is usually very good quality but the video must be left for about 5-15 minutes to allow the stream to settle.
How to set up
Download coolstreaming from here http://coolstreaming.org.nyud.net:8090/Cool_43_exp.exe
Download VLC player from here http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.1/win32/vlc-0.8.1-win32.exe
VLC is another media player (similar to WMP) but it works really well with coolstreaming.
Install them both
Open coolstreaming
In cool streaming change the preferences (2nd icon from right shown as a hand with a piece of paper) so that the application to open asf files reads C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
You will have a list of channels, scroll down and double click on ESPN and wait for it to open up in vlc player
Wait for 10 to 15 mins for the stream to sort itself out
You need a connection higher than the stream quality/bit rate. For example for the espn link to work (280k) u need a higher internet connection than that. Test sports (330k) will need a 1mb broadband or higher to work.
ENGLISH COMMENTRY NOW AVAILABLE ON ESPN
Double click on the speaker icon in your system tray, move all the way to the right and hey presto
FAQ
1. What is Coolstreaming?
CoolStreaming is a application layer streaming media transportation software. It lets viewers exchange buffer with each other. If you have experience with BitTorrent, you'll easily understand the advantage in dong this.
2. How to use it?
download the CoolStreaming, install coolstreaming, wait for a couple of minutes for channel list to appear. double click a channel to select that channel, wait for coolstreaming to buffer data. Wait for another couple of minutes. Media player or Realplayer will automaticly popup and play the channel.
3. Why it's not working?
If you can not display channel list, check if there is firewall in use.(If your firewall only allow common port, CoolStreaming need to connect to non-common port.) If there is message say your time is wrong, check your time and timezone setup.
If have to use proxy for all your network operation, you might not be able use CoolStreaming now. No proxy support for now.
If there is message for popup player but no player was poped up, you can manually start Windows Media Player or Real Player. Open the link in the message box. (http://localhost...) If correctly setup windows media player but no player popup, check if there is a media player process running, kill wmplayer.exe, click play button on CoolStreaming again.
If windows media player poped up but say link error, check if IE had proxy setup, disable proxy on IE.
If windows media player poped up but say link error, check if you can reach localhost, if not, you can try http://127.0.0.1...
If correctly poped up windows media player/Rea Player, but can not play the program, please check if your player is the latest version. We need Windoes Media Player 9.0 and Real Player 10.0(Both software are freely
available.)
4. Why program quality is bad?
There are several reasons
(1) In the begining, usually CoolStreaming is looking for better source stream suppliers, wait for 5-10 Minutes, it would be better.
(2) If the quality is still not good after 10 minutes, please check status say "buffering xx%", it this number is low, that indicats your network condition is bad. Your network connection can not afford this high rate program, but you can still choose low bit rate program(e.g. radio).
(3) If it says "buffering > 80%" and the quality is still bad, it could be the source is bad.
(4) Quality column shows the average quality of all users. For example if the Quality is 95%, it means average can get 95% data. So you can determin quality from this number.(If the source quality is bad, users won't get a high quality number.)
5. Can I add more channels?
If you want to add channel, you need to install CoolStreaming Server.
But not all users have the ablity to install channel server. If you have good network connection(For
example, you are the network admin or you are providing streaming media service), then you propably can install CoolStreaming Server. See, http://www.coolstreaming.org/server.txt for more details about Server installation.
6. Why some channels could disapear?
Usually, the reason is coolStreaming Server is down or the source of the Channel had problem. The servers are not dedicated to CoolStreaming, and the streaming source could be contaminated. If you can provide stable source or server, please contact me. Your help would be highly appreciated by all the viewers.
7. How to watch CoolStreaming in a strict controled Intranet?
If there is strict firewall to restrict network ports, it is difficult for CoolStreaming to work. No good
solution yet. Hope to solve this problem in the near future.
8. How to help CoolStreaming?
You can (1) Provide stable streaming source, setup CoolStreaming Server.
(2) provide information about available stable link of streaming
source(better with relativly
low bitrate, more use can view it)
(3) tell more people about CoolStreaming
9. Will CoolStreaming hurt harddisk?
No. Some BitTorrent software will read and write harddisk frequently, some user worried that
CollStreaming have this problem. Actually CoolStreaming use main memory to buffer and exchange data with very few harddisk operation. Some user find reduced free harddisk space is because some media player(Real Player, etc.) will store temperary files on harddisk. Those temp file will be cleaned when the player closes.
10. Why there is delay on CoolStreaming?
There is about 1 minute local buffer. The total delay would be about 2 minutes. If you have a >5 minutes delay, you can restart media player/real player.
11. Which port is used by CoolStreaming? How to set firewall?
CoolStreaming use port larger than 1024. So the best way is to open all the ports >1024. Users inside a firewall may exerience worse quality than those who outside of firewall. Please set firewall to allow
connection to larger than 1024 ports.
12. I still have question, how to ask,
send email to cool@coolstreaming.org

freelivefootball.co.uk is superb, all the winamp links you see on the net will probably be from this site from there personal servers including all the ones posted on here, its only 2.99 a year to join and i personally think its the best 2.99 ive ever spent! ive also donated to keep their server up and running.
To point out that i have nothing to do with this site, i only joined 2 months ago but its been excellent for me

Tried Coolstreaming over the weekend and it's brilliant so well done to all concerned for making football free!!!!
Just one question though, my PC asked me to accept a DRM (Digital Rights Management) file which sends out a unique identifier which goes to Microsofts server - it asked this when I wanted to go to China's Star Sports saying I needed this to view. I said yes and still can't view it.
To our IT wizards - was this a wise thing to do and if not how can I reverse it (I have Win XP HEd). ALso how can I view Star Sports as it won't let me view it through Coolstreaming orthe links on the footy websites posted on this thread.
Cheers.
P.S. Started to see theL'pool vs M'bro game but soon lost interest as I was s******g myself every time Charlie Nicholas on SkySports said it was all Newcastle and he could not believe how many chances they were wasting. Hope we have enough firepower to beat S'ton. I am so nervous.

im sure freelivefootball will have a winamp. although neither art1 or 2 have it. this could be very bad. sportingstreams may have it also this does cost 1 pound a week or 20 pound a year but after joining you will be impressed however i would suggest nothing less than 256kps in internet speed. the great thing with this site is its all sports and they have just started showing 3pm games.

I think we might be on on saturday (it would be embarrasing if not).
Test sports: use windows media player, click on the button on the license aquisition box then wait for the play button to become active
I'm not exactly sure quite how you "use windows media player" though. Mine comes up automatically in VLC

I've been informed that our game this weekend is on millions of channels:
UBC Star sports
setanta sports (ROI)
sport 1 hu
Alfa tv
sly sport 1 (italy)
super sport 1
canal +1
and so freelivefootball.co.uk will almost certainly stream it

06-05-2005, 04:35 AM
Hmmm, this is slightly concerning. When I open Coolstreaming at the moment, I don't get the list of channels. Was working earlier. Hopefully this is just temporary.
I tested out Test Sports the other day, and it seemed to open fine in VLC for me.
EDIT: The channel list just loaded. Test Sports not loading however... :confused:

Possibly.
I don't know though.
We're currently campaigning for it to be on freelivefootball but it looks unlikely at this late stage.
It's a crime that it's not being shown. There is now quite a gathering of angry people wanting to watch the game.
If it isn't on, I apologise for getting people's hopes up.

Sorry for the confusion.
Free Live Football have just published their schedule for the weekend:

Middlesborough V Spurs 3pm flftv 1
Palace v Soton 3pm flftv 2
Man u v WBA 5pm flftv 1

Every post of mine on this thread is basically the same question--is there anyone else out there with a Mac? I just registered for FLF, which is a very well-organized site, only to find out that they don't support Macs. So it's Everton v Newcastle for me, unless anyone can help!
maestro
06-05-2005, 11:00 PM
usually the streams that flf show are available via winamp, i know nothign about macs but if you can run winamp and find a link you might be able to watch it

The only good way to watch a footie match is via coolstreams. Allthoos footie sites (soccerstreams.com and the rest) are crap. At best they just have winamp links with a sub-standard broadband picture (100k-150k max = crap picture quality). At least with cool streams you get a good quality picture. Oh, and all this "the streams are perfectly leagal" is bollocks. They are not. All streams come form people in the far east who are watching the game and then streaming it using a tv card & software. Tv Stations DO NOT broadcast the games on the internet. There is no way the FA or the Premier leauge would allow.

Dont bother. Use the faq at the start of the thread to get coolstreaming. You will get a better picture and it won't cost you anything. Thees sites just use streams that they have found on the net for free. Very rarely do they have thier own streams.

That is just a complete load of rubbish, at flftv they dont have winamp links, they have there own channels hosted on there own servers, as its only their memebers who get to watch the quality is excellent, plus it works brilliantly for me and i only have 256k broadband, coolstreaming is ok if you have 2 or 2mb connection but it takes ages to warm up and is very jumpy, comparing the 2 for me there would only be one winner, and that isnt coolstreaming!

Soccerstreams looked a much more professional site but in the end I on ly got to see 1 game properly. (Liverpool back in October).
Cant say I like the look of FLFTV's front page very much. Full of desperate-sounding triple exclamation marks trying to get you to part with 2.99 and saying how they are not like other sites "run by children".
Still it looks like gambling on that or jerky pictures with coolstreaming.

Buy all means try coolstreaming and ill try and get you a wimanp link but to be honest i think i might stop doing this as it comes from there servers and its wrong to watch them if you dont pay, they have to pay to upkeep etc.

True but they seem to be having a few cash flow problems also they way they do thier streams i think may be illegal. As they seem to stream it off satelittle to servers.

512k I think.. upgrading to 2mb soon I hope.

Thanks maestro. I wouldnt expect to get a link for a server dedicated to paying members.. it wouldnt be fair.
Soccerstreams also had loads of games on all the time but I was only really interested in Palace games. I did get one game for my £1 so Im happy with that - it cost me 7 pounds or something to watch Palace vs Bham on Prem Plus.
Bigend - If I understand it right, Coolstreams is entirely dependant on the number of people watching it. The more the better.. so the quality is variable on that basis. FLFTV has dedicated servers which apparently are now down.. If I were you I'd try both.

You must use coolstreaming with VCL (videolan), it streams so much better than WMP and Winamp. It makes all the difference.

which is still not much more different than places like soccerstreams.com
Also Authoritys are clamping down on thees ilieagle sites. So even if you have paid £2.99 don't expect the site to be around for much longer.

To resize VLC just drag the bottom corner (right side)
Also to get english commentray to the following:
1) Go to audio.
2) Select audio Channels Sub Menu
3) Check the left sound
This should give you english commentry. You can test it in the Chelsea second half :)

Youll be lucky to get a good stream on 512. Just make sure your not using the net for anything else when using it.
There are more users on espn right now as they are showing the Chelsea game. At times the two channels have about 3 thousand users each.

You will be lucky if it works at all then. Most uni/colleges block streaming ports on thier servers so you wont get them. Any the connections are usually limited to people so i doubt it will work well if at all. Good luck though.

Yes. And it's nothing to worry about.It depends on your download speed (512k is the bare minimum) Also, make sure you are not using the net for anything else. Browsing is ok but downloading is a no go.
The way coolstreaming works is that it allows you to view the stream at a certain quality. For example if you have 512k broadband it will try to give you a 250k stream. It will then use the rest of your bandwidth to upload the stream to other users. This helps to maintain the quality and speed of the picture, sharing the stream if you like.
You only need to click on the channel once. To get a decent picture you need to log a good 15-20 mins before the match starts. This is how long it takes to get a good picture if the stream is busy. ESPN is not showing the Palace match. But it is showing the Chelsea game. As that game is more than half-way through, you can guarantee that it will be busy and means it will take a while for your picture to settle.
If you want to watch the chelseas game then bare with it for a few more mins. As long as you are on test sport by around 2:30 (for the Palace game), you should be fine. For the Palace game, It's most likely the one that says test sports that you need to click on.

Probably. It's only a reserve game after all.

The AMD duron K6 was a rival to the Intel Pentium, so, as CPFC Town states there is no reason why it won't work, if you have a decent connection speed. Either way, you won't know it you don't try?

One more thing. If you do the following, games apparently stream better (for windows media player only):
Open up: tools----->options
Select 'network' tab
Un-tick 'multicast', 'udp' and 'tcp'
make sure 'http' IS ticked
Under 'streaming proxy settings', click on 'http' and then 'configure'
make sure you have selcted 'auto-detect proxy settings'
Then select 'performance' tab
Select the option where it automatically detects your connection speed.
Manually configure it to buffer 40 (although some say 60) seconds.

It always goes up and down. Depending on your connection it take 5 - 15 minutes at the most.
The game wont be shown on ESPN.

No TV guides really, so we have to wait to see what the channels actually say are showing.
