SRL Archive - News and General

Some people from #SRL and #mixster have decided we want to try to have an SRL movie night tonight.

Please vote on one of the movies above that people have recommended, or recommend your own.

There is a high chance this won't happen today like we wanted it to, because as you can see, we still haven't decided on a movie, and we're not sure who is going to host it. If you can host this, please tell me.


Also, idk what time this would be , maybe we'll do it tomorrow.

Italian Job is the winner, we are going to do what mc_teo suggested so please everyone start downloading it now so we can start soon.

HOT TUB HOT TUB, btw, someone, please host :)

Everyone knows that nothing but Pokemon will unite so many different people.

Pokemon, the best ever. Atleast the best film that ive never seen.

This Pokémon is the subbed version! Boo!

Red Dawn :)

I voted Italian Job. I actually don't like the pokemon movies :/

Slightly off topic, but if you've never seen American History X, then it is a must!

Perhaps you should first decide who is going to host it, and then set a proper date… ;)

Italian job my friends

Why wouldn't you just upload to megaupload.com? Any video that is uploaded as .mp4, .avi, etc automatically has a streaming service attached to it. It's also free…

Shawshank redemption!!!! I have it, I can provide the iso or convert it to a .avi

What is hosting, I can put it on my site with camtasia so you can watch it online and then next to the movie we irc chat? xD

shawshank!

no not shawshank, everybody has seen it so much :/

http://www.livestream.com/ ?

what exactly is meant by hosting… I can provide quite a few, and some of the ones listed.

I say Italian, because I saw American HX and Shawshank the latest

Well we all want to be watching the same part at the same time so we'd have to all make sure we start it at the same time, and I believe you can only watch 70 minutes before you have to break, and it takes multiple files (maybe not?) to watch a single movie, so we would have to get synch'd multiple times.


Livestream is low fps and crappy quality.

ive seen most of the others

shiz haven't seen good old mewtwo in years.

I can host

So, you have what it takes to host for srl movie night? That is good, if you need things to host, I could send them to you.

My List:

I would go for the A-team…

is it possible to do a skype type of thing and share? then people would all watch the screen and it would kindof be like a conference.

pokemon, obviously. but hottub would be a close second :p

Hot tub or Itainian job which ever

Hot tub, the only one I havn't seen. So would this be like a everyone hit start at the same time or ustream(or the like) kind of thing

[-jesus-] tried streaming to livestream and it was very bad quality and fps, so I don't know if anything like that will work, including Skype. Have any of you actually had that work?

I'm afraid it's probably going to be a everyone hit start at the same time, but I'd really rather it not be. :\

Red Dawn

Red Dawn

Ok, everybody bombard Jason2gs with religous bashes, if we get him to become un-religous, Wizzup will host movies for us on uni server.

A-Team.

hot tub, whats that? I vote, won't attend, EKD!

Red Dawn!

Italian Job :) really like that movie. Reminds me of oceans 13 etc

Italian Job :D

red dawn :D and i actually think skype could work… though i have never conference called with ppl. my friend and i have watched a movie on it though.

EDIT: found out how to conference call, so skype is a plausible option

Video Doesn't work with more than two people

I use www.alluc.org …multiple links, I guess everyone could just pick the movie and start at the same time ?

Only two people can be in the conference for there to be video, or only two people can broadcast video at a time?

Edit: Nevermind

working on livestream solution right now.

i will have to agree :p

pokemon. this isnt the first movie right?

It's supposed to be the first pokemon movie, but Ogre was quite silly and got a bit confused.

if this was to continue, i think *some* people need to know what is required for hosting a movie.

since about ~30 people max are going to be watching it, you need a decent upload speed, thats unlimited, since streaming 700mb to 30 people is ~21GB of bandwidth usage (i have decent upload speed, but am limited to 15GB, *per month*)

i myself think that simply streaming via vlc, would be the best solution (see here for a tutorial: http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/Easy_Streaming) since this would mean the hoster would only have to start the stream, and everyone else could come and go as they liked. you also need to have the chosen movie downloaded in advanced.

~mc_teo

That is a good idea on the vlc, I will look into it. And of course you need the movie in advance.. how else would it be watched? Mind wizards and black magic?

Yay this might actually happen. and yes, vlc is actually a great idea

^ I am actually in the process of moving right now.. so the when might be a few days. Also, I start classes in a week and a half. - but I don't work nights any more for my job. I should be around.


E: Hahahaha, FTW! ~ unfortunately this is at work…

Hot Tub :P
but the A-Team is cool too :o

#mixster <3 and lol.

italian job

, though i think it should be confined to good quality movies in the sense that you can't actually watch a dvd version of the a team, only cams. The quality is already going to be lowered by watching it through a stream if that's what happens, so it will just get worse.

EDIT: after this round, i nominate Law Abiding Citizen
