Finding the stream:
USTREAM on myspace.com and myspace Japan, on ustream.tv :
When you go to
http://www.myspace.com/msjustream, (myspace Japan x USTREAM) it's heartening to find that it now actually says,
“NEXT> [JACK IN THE BOX 2010 SUMMER],” over the video window, so it's the next streaming event, there.
I thought I'd feel more confident if I were on the actual
http://www.ustream.tv channel for the event, but previously couldn't find it, when I searched, there. But today, I realized you can navigate over there from that myspace URL, above.
Below the video window on
http://www.myspace.com/msjustream, I clicked on the blue MENU button, then, "Go to Show page".
When it brings up the ustream.tv channel, you find out why you couldn’t find it on search, to save your life – because the channel’s called a generic “myspace Japan,” and the English title of the event is "[Peeping Jack]".
So on ustream.tv, JITB aka Peeping Jack, will be here:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/myspace-japan-live
I'm wondering if one of these two places will be the better, for enjoying the event. Anyone have knowledge of that?
If anyone has luck with the Nexus or Sync URL's and has found they have a better picture or more stable stream than the two ustream-related URL's I've just mentioned, let us know!
Tips and questions on using ustream:
First, anyone know other tips to optimize your picture or stream quality, when streaming?
For example, does getting in the queue early - or later - make a difference?
What I've found, so far, on ustream: In experimenting, it seems to me the stream is less likely to stall if I bring it up in a window that has InPrivate Filtering on (I'm using IE). I believe this is because InPrivate Filtering interferes with the script that allows the live chat feed next to the video window. I think the constantly refreshing chat feed interrupts the streaming of the show. I have the window on fullscreen mode at those times, meaning the chat feed's not displayed, but I suspect it's going on in the background, when you have the channel up, unless you are using some settings that stop the chat (and of course, allow the stream :)
Also, notice if you register on ustream, you can follow users and follow specific events and RSVP for events.
I don't know whether logging into the site gets you any better or worse connection for streaming. But I'm hoping to get notifications and reminders about Jrock live streaming events, by following. So far, I'm following MySpaceJP (hosting "Peeping Jack" In The Box, and one of the hosts of VAMPS at Roppongi Live) and YahooJAPAN (who also hosted VAMPS at Roppongi) (plus I'm following MIYAVI_OFFICIAL).
I've looked around there, for an official VAMPS channel, but don't see any ~ yet! I wonder to where to talk to other VAMPS fans, live online?
