leed17 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Anyone know if FloMarching will provide a high cam stream AND a multicam stream for all of the events? I know DCI Live did that for quite a few streams over the last couple seasons, and Fan Network before that. I have an email in to DCI, but wanted to see if anyone knew here...

Lance Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 i've been on dcp for about a minute today, and already, i've seen 2 posters saying that Flo isn't answering their emails from people asking valid questions about their product. not good.

luv4corps Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Just when I was getting used to DCI Live and maybe starting to get over the loss of fan network. Now this catastrophe. So disappointing that DCI is willing to gamble with such a huge chunk of how fans see shows, and like Brasso said, commit to a multi-year contract??? Makes no sense. What were they thinking?

Precious Roy Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I don't understand the hyperbole, before even one live event has been streamed. "Now this catastrophe." Really? What exactly is catastrophic at this point? Previous years, many people (including me) pined for a more direct way to view the live streaming content from DCI. I used to have to hook up my sub-par laptop to the TV, log into my fan network account, and hope my computer could adequately handle the streaming while keeping it all in sync. Now, all I need is a Roku and an HDMI cable. Sign into flomarchimg, and I'm ready to go. The live streaming product is more accessible now, imo. And, imo, that's a step in the right direction. I'll reserve future judgement on the final product until after I actually, you know, see an actual product (and not just assumptions on the worst case of what it might be). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That in itself is a large issue especially when it directly contradicts DCI's Mission Statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a potential customer who will be outside of the US for three weeks during the season, this is disappointing news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCI-86 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 A huge issue is that it can only be watched by people who live in the USA. During WGI Flo Marching said they hoped to have a solution for international viewers - and here we are several months later and still no solution and I doubt that they will get one either! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjaydub Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I have seen the product. I was a FloMarching member last year with MusicForAll and I can attest, it is absolutely the worst video streaming service I have ever subscribed. I will never use them again. No high-cam perspective, sound quality was atrocious, the feed was abysmal, and practically no customer service representation. And trust that it was not on my end as I was on fiber, hard-wired with download speeds near 140mbps. After the regular season, I attended BOA Grand Nationals and I finally got a good look at FloMarching's crew... hardly a level above high school kids running that program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the biggest fear out there........the technology side of things can be worked through, but if the coverage is sub-par to begin with, what's the point. To the poster that said Flo works just fine for sports, that is such a completely different arena. Does anybody really care about the sound quality of a basketball dribbling?
