Re: CDN Closed - Monroi

It would be appreciated if someone from the organizing committee (or maybe even Monroi) could let the chess community know what the hitch is...

My experience trying to run the Monroi broadcast in 2009 was a rather horrible one. The transmitter uses a serial port, which is ancient technology, and then there is a USB to Serial adapter since modern computers don't have serial ports. Installing the drivers for that adapter came along with a nasty virus that almost wiped out my laptop.

The other major issue is that if for ANY reason a game is started before you get the broadcasting properly set up, you can't broadcast that game anymore. Crashes are bad too.

Hopefully a future version of Monroi can fix these issues. In all fairness to them, the DGT boards have their fair share of problems involved in broadcasting.

Re: CDN Closed - Monroi

When I go to the games page, the page just hangs. Is anyone able to view round 2 games?

Re: CDN Closed - Monroi

I get a blank light blue screen (and nothing else) when I try to access the games when I use http://monroi.com/watch/?tnm_id=1506

Re: CDN Closed - Monroi

Same here, just a blue screen,

Re: CDN Closed - Monroi

We were having the same issue on our end, until we discovered that it was simply a browser compatibility issue. Use something other than IE 9 and, hopefully, you should be fine.

I see. Seems to work perfectly on my Mac, using Safari.

Re: CDN Closed - Monroi

Considering that a large percentage of us are using IE 9, shouldn't something be done about this? I'm not going to running around downloading other browsers.

Agreed, I only have one browser on my laptop. Seems stupid to me. Thank Microsoft for that one. I just upgraded a few days ago to IE9, other bugs with it as well. Not impressed.

I guess I can let MonRoi know that, but it isn't something that can be fixed on our end. As Tony says, thank Microsoft.

Re: CDN Closed - Monroi

I'm using an older IE - it's fine.

I'm shocked. After decades of internet, the most computer-savvy of our chess historians exclusively uses, hmm, let's call it a target browser. FWIW, I use Opera and Mozilla Firefox with general satisfaction. When desperate, Google Chrome, which is not as grabby of system resources as it once was. Never use IE.

Round 3 Live Games??

Has Rd. 3 started ( it was to start at 4:00 PM EDT )? When I click on " live games " on MonRoi, for the 3rd round games, I don't get anything. Anyone else getting Rd. 3 yet?
