Administrators Bill Strong Posted March 26, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Live in-car RaceCasters! We have a change in applications we would like you to use. If you are using the Cerevo LiveShell 2, your settings stay the same. log into your racecast account and go to settings... https://live.racecast.me/setup/liveshell . You still input the settings via the Cerevo web app. Teradek VidiU settings stay the same. https://live.racecast.me/setup/teradek-vidiu Now here is where the changes are. If you are using a cell phone type camera, where in the past you were using the Wowza GoCoder, we need you to stop using it. It causes some issues in our broadcast. Over the past few weeks we have been testing the Larix Broadcaster app. It works very well. Please log into your racecast account, and download the app and set it up. Unfortunately it is a manual setup process. But it is easy when you follow the setup instructions. https://live.racecast.me/setup/larix This will help ChumpCast bring you uninterrupted race coverage. Thanks! Bill Strong and Paulie Veltum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDJones2000 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Total PITA to set up, but it seems to work. What is the benefit of Larix over GoCoder? Fewer crashes? It's kind of nice that you have more control over bit rates and resolutions, as well as sound quality. Any recommendations for settings to use for VGA In-Car feeds, 720p Settings and 1080p? What kind of data consumption per hour can we expect for each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bill Strong Posted March 28, 2017 Author Administrators Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 It was less crashes. If you ever saw my pit feeds, I would crash a lot since they did some update. we were getting the same in the cars. Data should be the same. Please set to 720. no need for 1080 or 4k as racecast and chumpcast only transmit in 720.if data is an issue, use 640 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaibRX-7 75 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Bill, Downloaded Larix app and set up on my phone and it works. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to Daytona so I went to set up someone else's phone that is making the trip. After setting it up the same way that I did on my phone I get "RaceCast : Authentication error. Please check stream credentials" Any advice? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Matt I had the same thing happen as Bill and I were trying to get mine to work when he first decided to make the switch. You will have to get the racecast generated password from Bill. It's not the password you use to login. Edited March 29, 2017 by Snake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDJones2000 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Go to the Larix configuration screen AFTER you have logged into Racecast.me. The Login information, and password, will show up at the bottom of the screen for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaibRX-7 75 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I used the RaceCast generated password with no luck. Worked great on my phone, but not on his and I won't be making the trip this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
