Multiplayer, start new game. Clear the admin password field and exit.
How do I get this new version to work? When I click it WinXP doesn't know what it is. Whats a .7z file? I had use the older one without any problems wanted to try the new one.

I know it...
I want to make real streaming server with this tool.
This tool can not use non blank password.
Because anybody can hijack the server...

Let me test that, HB.

I tried by blank admin password.
It was working and watching movie.
But... blank admin password is so dangerous...
:-(
I hosted an online server with an admin PW (the server itself was PWed), and could use director fine.

I did it as a guest on an unpassworded server perfectly fine, but on a PWed server it will need testing ...
How do you save camera positions? In AS3 there is one camera I don't like the spot of wanted to change it. I moved it in LFS and it showed in Director the move, but how to I save the position. It would keep putting it back to the default location each time I unpaused.

.7z is 7-zip, go to http://www.7-zip.org and download it, it is free to use.
I have decided to use 7-zip because it compresses much much better especially the pth files inside the archive. And the traffic for my webspace is limited, so I must not waste bytes by large zip or rar files.
Alternatively I have uploaded the tool in a zip file but without the pth files.

Adding an input field for password would not be a problem, I have made a note to do this.
Nevertheless to make streaming I would suggest to use a client connected to the server and stream from the client. Even if possible to run TVdirector and LFS on different computers, camera movement would be much smoother if both programs are running on the same computer.
Furthermore I would suppose, that performance and connection to the drivers is affected, if the server is running in graphical mode and the computer has to manage the streaming too.

In LFS type letter m into the chat after you have moved the camera to a new position, then in TVdirector uncheck the camera button in the toolbar.

Sorry for the delay.

I wanted to say thanks to Sören again for letting me use the director tool for OLFSLtv. I must report that it was great, and feedback was fantastic.

The only complaint, was that the onscreen display, car position etc, doesn't change along with the camera, e.g. switching to the director tool whilst looking at position 3, for the whole race, you only see the split times and position for whoever is in 3rd place at the time. but apart from that, everyone loved it.

6 hours of streaming with no problems.
can you tell me how you did that streaming thing exactly. i don't know how i can do that. cheers!
Can I tell you exactly.... well no as to be honest, I spent a whole night fiddling to get it working, it's not an exact science. Luckily Fireball had previously setup the VPS using SSH already, I have only just started using SSH today.

But I can tell you roughly.

Hey Guys,

I'm having a meeting with a few guys on Thursday and if all goes well LFS might be displayed on laptops in stores around my country , I would really love to use this tool to do it , I can get a spr replay to run from a bat file but was wondering , can you guys think of any way I might get this app to start up with a replay automatically using lfs commands etc
? . It would really be the cherry on the top it it could be achieved . Thanks

Oh! good news.
I hope for your update

I am trying real stream with TvDirector now.
You may be able to watch video stream by peercast.
Let's try.

http://yp.peercast.org/?type=& ... re=game&status=online
Channel name "WHRT LFS Streaming"
Hi... it said Channel not found on Peercast.

I'm interested as I have been looking at Peercast myself recently.

Try its

or
[url]mms://58.158.161.235:8080[/url]
But its only 5 connections.

Couldn't get the Http address to work, but the MMS one did.

Quality is bit poor, lots of buffering, but the FPS when it is going is very smooth.

is the 5 connections limit due to peercast or another factor?

I hadn't managed to get peercast to work yet, think it's a port forwarding problem
the mms link worked for me as well. the quality isn't the best but at least i don't get that much bufferings. allthough can you restart the race so we don't see all the time that green car stuck in sand???

LFS and video stream are not separate newtwork.
Because sharing bandwidth in same network.
um... I could not watch by peercast at my home.
It may relate for router setting.

Yeah, AI car stucked or fuel emptied...
I will schedule for streaming on every Mon and Wed and Fri.

starting this tool from the same bat file would be possible but useless as long as you need to press the "connect" button manually. So it looks like I should implement command line options too.

That would be cool , would the shift +U part also happen automatically then ?

Go to multiplayer, then create new game. clear the admin password and try again.
