Anyway, I guess a renewed platform is what the announcement is all about. Let's hope it will become a platform that works according to today's standards. That would actually be some big news.
Hope so. The app was so bad that when I didn't have access to watch other places than on my phone, I had to use the browser instead of the app. The app didn't have the ability to go back and forward in the video and I couldn't pause to see where I'm at and carry on later, it always started from beginning

Samsung WRC+ TV App was full of bugs and could not be used properly in last 2 years. Most of the bugs are quite clearly somehow related to authentication if user is subscribed or not. It might be that that before the publishing (+ during the rallies) no one tests and monitors WRC TV apps in real use with different device manufactures and models. Plus if someone would like to help WRC GmbH with problems, the WRC GmbH customer support don't have any knowledge and they don't allow customer to discuss directly with the company who is responsible for creating the TV apps. It is ridiculous. At least this is how it used to be in the past, hopefully it is improved now.
+ if they have now updated the TV app, it does not sound good risk management to update the WRC+ TV App 3 days before the season start when the hype is highest. They should changed the development cycle so that most risky updates will be published midway of the season.
Is Colin leaving the WRC+ team?

So what will I be doing? Well much as it’s always a bit challenging to get started, I really enjoy writing, so you’ll regularly be reading my thoughts on what’s going on in the rally world. From events you’ll be getting behind the scenes videos, previews, podcasts and analysis pieces.
Off event there will be a regular podcast every two weeks with some of the most respected names in rally offering their opinions on all the hot topics of the day. And of course, you’ll be able to catch up with my rally monologues at my Thoughts from the Kitchen Table series on DirtFish.

So Thursday evening they will launch new things? Good luck to them then.Quote:

I wish they could get Andrew Coley. He substituted Desborough on Tour de Corse last year and those highlights were just level above.
Looks like DirtFish is heavily investing. Thou I liked Colin at the stage ends, not so much behind his kitchen table mostly because his analysis were way off from the reality. But good luck anyways!

Cannot agree. Obviously there's opinions and speculations which may fail, but also very much some correctly anticipated things.Quote:

Obviously there are times where these can't be avoided, but there's been just handful of events in the past 3 years (totaling around 40 events) where the platform worked without any update-related breakdowns (or I just didn't notice).Quote:

They've basically put all their eggs in the WRC All Live basket.....(which is almost understandable) but there is very little coverage not behind a paywall. And, I don't know if it's just a UK thing, but you still see comments not knowing were to watch WRC coverage.....Quote:

What's the use of good and stable connection when the application doesn't allow you to log in, randomly logs you out or refuses to connect to the stream in the first place because there's some exception in the code. And the latter is what's been annoying me for as long as I have used wrc plus.Quote:

Anyone else having issues with trying to log in to their WRC+ account? seems like the site is down, and even the app is having trouble.....not looking too good for 2020 WRC season....
I had that trouble some weeks ago on the iOS app...and then it just started working some weeks later. And it has worked all the time on my desktop browser. And it works now as well.Quote:

it also seems from the live maps pics that we will see where the splits are, thats a very welcomed thing
So I guess you forgot already his grandiose predictions how Evans was a clear WDC threat in 2018 etc. I don't have time to dig up his all his blabbering. For my eyes he lost any credibility long time ago now he is just another entertainer.Quote:

Seems it´s mandatory to change password. I tried but can´t login after changing it...
Hope they get it together before wednesday.
Works for me now, seems like they have removed the option to run two feeds or compare two drivers
That is strange, I get redirected to www.wrc.com, so i figured plus.wrc is still down. If you have access, it must be an error for me. Hope they get it fixed in timeQuote:

Will you still be able to watch it on two different devices at the same time? Ie mobile and laptop?
Yep. I´m there too. And can´t renew my subscription. Just being redirected to wrc.com. I´ll wait for another 24h...Quote:
