Golynohana 321 Posted July 9, 2007 Is there a source where we can find videos from current basho? No Nagoya day 1 videos on Info-sumo and banzuke.com (Ngozi) so far... I fear that it might not be just a delay (Weeping...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cause every time I make any post, or see anybody post who has less than 1000 posts, they get flamed to hell. I may not know everything about sumo, but i love the sport, and try to learn and find info.

I checked some of your posts, and saw nothing that supports this. You started two threads and were answered very cordially and fully. In other posts there was nothing really serious to support such a sweeping generalization about this forum. I remain offended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asashosakari 19,667 Posted July 9, 2007 And can you point out where I said I was an expert Linux user? I am not a computer person. I presume it was the unnecessary slams against Microsoft and the "stopped using it long ago" part that prompted Jakusotsu to comment that way. I mean, I'm used to seeing that from Macintosh users because those systems are marketed as the "easier" alternative, but a non-expert Linux user who sounds like that, that's a new one to me.

seb 0 Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) 'Your browser does not support the ActiveX Windows Media Player' the url of this what-should-be-displayed-file is: mms://www.tv5.mn/Archive/Programms/sumo.wmv i opened it with wmp, it loaded long and finally worked! it seems this is a 1 1/2 long, daily sum-up of makuuchi-bouts, including slow-mo's, replays, pixels, babbling mongolian commentators and some advertising. hooray! edit: no hooray - tried it again and wmp can't open the file, vlc neither. (Holiday feeling...) some minutes ago it worked; i swear! maybe they delete it always after some time? edit again: hooray again! currently it runs in vlc (falteringly) and wmp (much better). maybe you have to try, try, try.

Pic quality is much lower than WMP 11 or WMP 10, but I guess that is the price you pay for tying your hand behind your back. @Asojima Personally, I'd rather sacrifice a little picture quality than give up my Linux boxen or my Mac. I guess I spend so much time using my computers, I actually have to enjoy using them, or I'd go crazy (and Windows drives me crazy... use it at work... 2k-Vista... and they all lack the tools I like to make work comfortable and efficient). And from my perspective, it's frustrating how much Microsoft tries to, as you put it, tie my hands behind my back. I prefer to use the software I like rather than the software that Microsoft says I should use. Just my preference. @bigfatman Anyway, I've had a lovely time using VLC on all my Linux boxen and on my Mac. I just type in the stream address in the open stream dialog and it connects every time. Never had a problem with disconnecting or with the audio getting out of sync (which happened like clockwork in WMP9). The only oddity I've had is the video is on occasion very stilted when you first connect, but disconnecting and reconnecting fixes it. Out of curiosity, what Linux distro are you using, and what version of VLC? Some distros will build VLC without WMV support for patent reasons, and that could be your problem. You might try installing an official package from the VLC website (they have a variety of binary packages) or try building it from the source. @everyone Kudos for people using different platforms. More users on more platforms means more competition, which means better software. And I think all of us would like better software. (Holiday feeling...) No need for snippiness.

(Never seen such a forum with so many snooty and arrogant posters..) Big Fat Man, I totaly agree with you. Sometimes people will insult someone just to try to gain glory for themselves. There are some names on this forum that I just skip over what they have to say, because it just insn't worth the time it takes to read it. Please stay with the Forum. There are many informed people regarding sumo and they post for all of us to benefit from and not to have the spot light placed on themselves. Don't leave.

Kotoku 0 Posted August 23, 2007 Don't know about Linux -- isn't he the one with the blanket and Snoopy? :- ) But I have a big pile videos from the 92 -- 00 basho in the back room I'm either gonna toss, or give to someone curious about sumo at that time.
