I'd assume you've got a band of volunteers to make the stream home and away. The club don't even own falkirktv.uk - Brian's company does according to the WHOIS request. Tempted to buy Falkirk.TV domain for a laugh now that I see it's available. Edited July 18, 2023 by LeodhasXD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The platform being the website and the capability to stream? "Hosting" perhaps? The website doesn't look up to date. If we're doing the filming and set-up, surely there'd be ample services just for the part of uploading it once it's ran through any broadcasting software? What are we paying for? User admin? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can see what fans of other clubs mean. Yesterday an Airdrie fan posted about it. He was right, and I am a guilty as anyone for red dotting. I think it is time to cancel my account. Just read about this on the HG thread. Pleasing...and damn straight I was right!!! Falkirk -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I think it's just the web hosting, payment, etc that he deals with and you'll not be paying for anything for us. I'd wager the Falkirk TV streams etc will still be better than ours (QotS TV used his servers etc I'm sure and they provided a better service than the Pars) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these domains should be treated like the falkirkfc.co.uk one and owned by the club as it's their IP after all. Club has come a long way but still not grasping the worth of all these parts and treating them like a commodity instead of intrinsic to their business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are we paying for? User admin? You're paying for meeting the media license terms that are required to offer streaming at an SPFL and the expertise that has come with catering for Dunfermline already. There's not an off the shelf service that meets everything. There's always some mixing and matching and even if there was a complete all-in-one system you'd need to pay them their cut. would love the SPFL to conglomerate and make one central system that I can send my stuff to but.... We're a bit factional if you haven't noticed and of the really saleable assets especially Rangers TV is very good so why would anyone try to rock the boat and change what we have? Basically you have two or three components to a streaming service: You need to have a shop (technically optional if you were giving it to season ticket holders only) You need to have an access control system - can't see unless you buy, check IP addresses, only allow logins on one device per user etc You need to have a video hosting service 19 minutes ago, Salvo Montalbano said: He did say we (Pars TV, for the avoidance of doubt) were getting new microphones so thanks for paying for them...

The actual streaming at least was https://www.dacast.com/ which never struck me as ideal. I can't recall QotS TV quality but I don't assume it was any different from ours. We were the three SPFL teams. Actually the help from the Brian and the guy at Queen of the South who I've completely forgotten the name of was excellent at the time so I'm not knocking in that respect.
