Wesdag's experience seems to support my theory it seems
|
|
By:
well at least one of your theories is poppyc0ck duffy...
coz you are confusing RTV and ATR BLV issues... |
|
By:
Don't think they'd bother with updates, duffy, if just trying to fob us off
Think the providers are taking the p1ss out of Betfair with excuses about covid and furlough and Betfair seem to be buying it |
|
By:
That doesn't excuse Betfair, they should be harder on the providers, they are paying them enough money through lost comm for a **** product

if fast RTV BLV pics wasn't the objective then why are they working like trojans to try and fix it and give us what they did in February...?
why don't they just say... there are your pics with all the lovely graphics (that nobody wants btw)... the speed doesn't matter... end of story... |
|
By:
working day and night to try and fix something that was just a bi-product seems awfully strange to me...
they must be lovely human beings to do that for us... |
|
By:
not the main objective
has you not noticed all the sh!te on the screen? |
|
By:
*have

By:
Were rtv lv pics flash before the trial?
|
|
By:
HH,
You can't have it both ways, one minute it is a conspiracy with the select few having privileged access to the fast pics whilst crowds are off the track and it could easily have been sorted by now and the next minute you believe when they tell you they are working day and night to fix it. Which is it? |
|
By:
Dont think hibby believes it duffy, but betfair do and that is the problem, doesnt matter what we believe
|
|
By:
i have no idea what is going on duffy...
i don't know who or what to believe... just find it weird (and i'm talking about RTV BLV now coz i know you get easily confused between the two) that they can produce something in February (and which is due to go live on April 1st) but they cannot re-produce it on June 2nd... and over 3 MONTHS later they still cannot re-produce... meanwhile it is blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain that certain folk have access to faster RTV pics (by whatever means) than RTV BLV produces for stay at home folk like me... and i also have to add in drones and facetime scenarios to be fair... it's all very very weird imv... unfathomable tbh. |

Both arguments are correct. When I went down to meet RMG in May 18 they knew about Flash coming to an end. They were always just going to produce one stream that was for bookmaker streaming, but given I had proven how much money they were missing out on through piracy etc they accepted the need to produce a quick stream. They were looking at a stream which was around one second behind live. I told them it was too slow and it needed to be around 1/2 a second.
A year later they came back to me and said they now have the tech in place, via a US company, that will be able to produce that speed. It was expensive and someone would need to pay for it, hence I wasn't able to say anything over last winter with various contract talks. It appears Betfair were willing to pay. The aim was to get it ready by April this year. They said they would run some trial meetings. They did, as we all know they were a success 0.5 a second behind. What has gone on since then no one will explain, I cannot get a straight answer, i'm sick of asking now. I'm hoping I get the call in the next few weeks to say they are ready, Betfair who appear to be heavily invested in this keep telling me it'll happen, when God knows. |

Anyway the issue with the RTV pics, which saw us fighting over .2 or whatever it was with some happy to use the sky pics anyhow for the larger screen has now been superceeded by the ATR issue ad the new format.
bootman, Can you tell BF that ever since they implemented the same format for both sets of pics the ATR pics have suffered greatly...they need to revert those pics back to the original set up. This is a recent issue and is a more pressing problem than the existing one concerning the RTV pics that we've been discussing for months. This issue doesn't appear to be the problem that is being addressed. |

By:
lol, not just live video is ****, but also the guy working on turning market to inplay

unplayable here on minimum doncaster
did you lads speak too soon? |
|
By:
seems so
![]() |
|
By:
Was persuaded to try minimum at Donny for the first time today based on what you boys had said. Maybe it can only support 3 people watching it at the same time and I tipped it over the edge?!?

By:
Donny was ok then on normal ...

|
By:
if there are no track vermin at doncaster (and there clearly shouldn't be) then i'm Louis Van Gaal...

|
By:
Agreed, Hib. Country mile behind. A few times yesterday I actually wondered if I was watching the same race as what the IR market was showing.
|
|
By:
Last race at Donny back to Benny Hill clips unplayable yet again come on Betfair wake up and sort this **** out
