How long until Google releases a similar thing for YouTube and Justin.tv starts to suffer? :(

sabat3• 16 years ago

Not convinced Google could hurt Justin.tv the way you're imagining; the Justins have too many deals, too much traction.

Can you be more specific here, minus the buzzwords, what "deals" and "traction" does justin.tv have that google/youtube can't hurt them? HN tends to go gaga over YC funded company for no obvious reason and often (but maybe not in this case) rationality and reason goes out of the window.

Proud beta tester here: works quite well. :-)

Qik.com (in addition to having a 3 letter domain) has had that functionality for a while. I've used it on my HTC Incredible to record video and have people watch, and also auto-upload to youtube.

Not as well known as Justin.tv though.

Qik's iPhone broadcaster doesn't access the hardware video encoder, which unfortunately means that the output of their app is more like a slideshow than a real video stream.

We deliberately waited until the platform could support an app we would be proud of.

Do you have HW encoding on Android? Does it vary by device and/or OS version?

Does/Could this app locate or detect a user is at a particular event?

If Justin.tv could sort by event, other users could watch events like outsidelands music festival and flip through all the different view angles of the concert.

I understand event based results can be found by searching, but the idea of a collection of event streams intrigues me. Just an idea..

anyone from JTV on here? I would love to see/help make this happen. steve at stevederico dot com

Caleb of JTV here. This is a very intriguing idea. We think location will be a big part of live broadcast discovery. Nothing to announce yet.

LOL @ the pic. iPhone in the night? hahaha The distortion would make my ears bleed too.
