Video Stream -

And the first thing you do with Ustream is add /pop-out to the end of the URL. Pop

Which means I won't be able to record it. Great.

To get rid of the distracting commercials, you need AdBlock Plus on Firefox or Chrome. On IE, I use Simple Adblock which is available from Download dot com. It is free for 30 days. The onetime fee after that is worth it. Have been playing with Ustream for several years.

so this new version is only running in a browser?

or does your experience say that there will be a direct link to the stream to open in any media-player?

In this mode, resize the screen, move the smaller screen far left or far right, slide the bottom down, slide the side to eliminate the excess black border. This allows you to bring up a second browser screen behind or beside the Ustream to view the site of your choice (SF, of course) in split screen.

PS: In iE, you can view the Ustream at 125 to 200%.

i guess the easier way would be be to open 2 browser-sessions and resize the video-window

Try to put ustream's link to this page and use generated .m3u8 playlist in vlc player during coverage.

Many thanks. Just gave that a try, and I did manage to record a Ustream stream. However, the stream seems to be coming in chunks of about 15 seconds and VLC only saved the first one and then stopped. (While watching the video normally, there's a noticeable interruption of about a second when it loads the next chunk.) Any ideas?

Did you make test with my suggestion?

Ok. Go to one of the ustream's live coverages - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wbch2

Put this url to magic page and generate .m3u8 playlist.

Open this playlist in vlc and record it. Everything works fine. I've recorded about 10 mins without any problems.

Additionally you may slightly increase buffer in vlc (to 3000 ms for example).

The video is great. However, I'm not getting any sound. Any suggestions?

Same deal with that channel as with the one I tried before. Records one chunk of data, then closes the file. Changing the buffer/timeout settings has had no effect either. Hmm.

Right click in the screen, pick settings, adjust sound.

I tried that. Nothing.

[Asashosakari 19,442]

Hmm, maybe I'm doing something wrong altogether (I don't normally use VLC to record anything). We are talking about the Convert/Save feature, right?

[Kintamayama 45,252]

I'm also getting 10 second chunks now.

Hello sorry for my bad English,

I found a way to record ustream with the video lan client using livestreamer http://livestreamer.tanuki.se/en/latest/ .

(only tested it on windows 8)

1. Install livestreamer and vlc

2. Open configuration file in the folder %appdata%/livestreamer

3. Now under "# Using --file-caching is recommended, but is only supported in VLC 2.0+" remove the "#" in front of the path to your vlc.exe and add "--sout file/ts:<DESTINATION FOLDER>\stream.ts" (<DESTINATION FOLDER> must obviously be replaced).

4. Create a shortcut to the livestreamer.exe

5. Edit the shortcut, "...\Livestreamer\livestreamer.exe" <USTREAM LINK> 480p

6. Double click the shortcut and the recording should begin

My native language is German, I could write a better howto in German if it helps.

[Kintamayama 45,252]

I'm screwed.. I hope Araibira is more tech-savvy than me.

The stream works great for me. What kind of machine are you using, and are you using an updated version of VLC?

No, it's not online yet. The scheduled starting time today is 8:35 JST (~25 mins from now), the video stream might become available only shortly before.

[Asojima 2,874]

Ustream went active at 08:25 JST. Only Logos so far.

Day 1 - Live on the dohyo at 08:31 JST

-- First match at 08:37

-- Video very good. Sound very good.
