red card Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) On 7/15/2021 at 7:18 PM, Watchmen said: But at the same time, that means that 88% of their audience still watched it by traditional means of cable and that streaming remains a bit niche. It's about the trend. A few years ago, the streaming shares were below 5%. For next year's World Cup, the share should go up to 15-20%. 425k streaming figure was higher than the total tv audience than any of the games in the NBA Finals so far. It's also not niche for soccer since the only 2 sports streamers in Canada have a soccer focus. And in the US, ESPN+ and in the past year, Paramount+ & Peacock have all used soccer properties to primarily market their services. The rising interest but having the audience fragmented amongst a plethora of soccer leagues and tourneys means it is now a better business model for streaming services to carry soccer vs cable tv ex for the biggest tourneys and where existing relationships provide synergies (i.e own TFC, ESPN owns 25% of TSN).

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Alf de Blasis is a major upgrade for Onesoccer. No need to have broadcasts sound like they are being done by a former junior B hockey player from Moose Jaw or a BBC local radio castoff. There are plenty of people in Canada who grew up with the sport as their main sporting passion, know it inside out and are capable of announcing soccer player surnames appropriately. toontownman, JohnnyFranchise, Ivan and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yomurphy1 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Yeah. The casting doesn't want to work. So frustrating to pay for something that almost always has an issue. JohnnyFranchise and sstackho 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstackho Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I haven't been able to get Chromecasting to work during the past week. Really frustrating. JohnnyFranchise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I feel like I'm in the minority here, but the only technical issue I've had with OneSoccer is that in the first two seasons the feed would sometimes drop, but seemingly only during half time. On laptop, phone, and predominantly Roku SmartTV app. Pottsy3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aird25 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Canada games are always worse for me than other streams. I suspect it might be due to increased viewers but I know nothing about streaming. It worked flawlessly through my browser last night, but I could not cast it. Club Linesman, JohnnyFranchise and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstackho Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I also had Chromecast problems with a CPL match midweek. Now, if they would just release a native Android TV app, then I wouldn't NEED to Chromecast. (Though I'd still like to... Chromecast is awesome for every other app on the planet.)

I can install DAZN on my TV so it's kinda annoying starting the third year of the service and still no OneSoccer app. Of course I still have to switch to my PS4 to watch Disney+ so I guess it's not just them who are lazy. sstackho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair not even TSN or SportsNet have apps for all the top smart TV operating systems. DAZN is tops in that regard. johnyb and sstackho 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) I watched via my TV browser yesterday with no issues. But when trying to Chromecast from CBC Olympic app this weekend, I had issues. People have to realize all streaming platforms will some issues at some time because 1) It's not a closed environment like a cable box. So many variables can come into play. A chunk of it is user dependent. 2) Streaming technology is improving by leaps & bounds but it still isn't considered as good as cable. Newish platforms all have issues as they launch with the basics and then make major upgrades on the fly over 3-5 years.

MtlMario Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Missed the pre-game show and never got to watch on my tv (Chromecast) finally got to work on my computer which froze 3 times and had to reset. On the tv could only get the recorded shows nothing live. Want to invite people over to watch future Canada games but it's always a crap shoot with these guys. I do not understand how a company could operate in this manor. Edited July 30, 2021 by MtlMario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstackho Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 FWIW, I was able to successfully Chromecast a replay of OneSoccer Today last night. It started right away with no audio sync issues.

I do not understand how a company could operate in this manor. I suggest picking up a Roku for $40 and you will not be disappointed, best experience for Onesoccer imo and tons of free content for live tv, movies, shows, documentary's and such.

I can watch replays fine when casting (have watched One Soccer Today as well as CPL games on replay) but live hasn't worked for weeks. When casting live from my iPhone I get a huge video delay (sound is like 10 or 15 seconds ahead, meaning constant spoilers) and when casting from my Chromebook I get the video cutting out a couple times every minute, for several seconds at a time.

sstackho Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Took several attempts but got Chromecast working again. Took a second attempt to solve a massive audio sync problem. Feel like I’ve won the lottery when I get it to work. Now please don’t crap out. Because of these issues, I need to login on multiple devices, requiring regular re-logins. I wish it simply just worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Is there a sports broadcaster in Canada wearing more hats right now than Andi Petrillo? Surprised TSN didn't fit her into the NHL free agent frenzy shows between hosting the Olympics and doing this OneSoccer gig.
