You will also need to make an adjustment to VLC. ------ VERY IMPORTANT!!
1st, Open VLC > Go to Tools > Preferences
Select the radio button "Show Settings" -- "All" (near the bottom)
Select input/codecs.
Scroll down to advanced, and change the value for Network Caching to 5000 (ms).
This helps to prevent dropped frames and provides a more stable stream.

NOTE: It is much better to view streams through the VLC stand alone program, than to view it through a browser/VLC association.
The best way is to.... copy the .m3u8 file given... > open VLC... > click in middle of screen.... > press (keyboard) ctrl+v (to paste link) into VLC... > press play.

Quick guide:

1) Download VLC, during installation click delete preferences and cache

2) Go to Tools/Preferences/input coding and change Network Caching to 5000(ms) from 1000(ms)

3) paste (via ctrl v) link from above into middle of the screen and click play or click media open network stream. Then paste link and hit play.

4) Enjoy, change volume, full screen etc.

Thank you for the streams!

Bump

[rgbilliken]

Also, thanks for streaming. It's a lifesaver. Stupid fox sports kc always plays k state games instead of SLU games, yet my cable provider always gives me false hope by listing slu on the guide...

Anyone else watching the "sport" of extreme trampoline dodgeball on FSM right now?

Are you using vlc at all?

You need to open that program

then copy link location and paste that as a network stream.

If you have team viewer I can do it for you.

Highest def link is working well for me. Streaming from iPhone to my TV.

Thanks. I sent you a message.

Thanks. I sent you a message.

I replied like 10 minutes ago, otherwise I didn't get it. Please try again!

Go_Bills already does enough work, everyone. Just read the damn thread. If you can figure out how to post here, you can figure out how to stream these games.

Go_Bills, thanks again. I used the highest def link last night and the feed was perfect. To those of you who struggle loading it, it's not quite as easy as figuring out how to post here, but after ~ 5 more tries last night, I've got it down. The step I struggled with was forgetting to right click the streaming link, 3964K, then left clicking "copy link location."

Not sure if that will work for everyone but that's what I was missing.

Sweet, yeah it's not exactly the easiest thing in the world but the quality makes up for learning curve. Glad you got it working!

Here's my short/easy guide: if anyone can add to it feel free.

1) Must download VLC and install VLC. (It's open source and the best media player out on the market). Download links in first post based on if you are a windows or mac user.

2) Copy link location of one of the four links posted. The higher the number the faster your internet connection needs to be to view it. The 3964k is considered high quality hd.

3) Open VLC

4) Open Network Stream, Mac users hit the green plus then you should see file, then network stream.

5) Paste the network stream: should look like http://ftve1100-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/217046/fcsc/1264k/prog.m3u8

6) hit stream/play

7) hit play again

8) full screen and enjoy.

I will post our next media thread this Friday with VLC streaming links. If you are one of the people that is struggling with these streams they are always on. Therefore, feel free to shoot me a pm and we get it working before Saturday that way you won't have to risk missing another game.
