This is so bad service

Was working fine for me until now, but now the whole WRC site crashed for me and also they managed to took one of the working twitch streams down aswell. Guess they don't want people to follow their sport
:)
I also logged in before the start of SS3 and was able to watch the whole stage, but not the two next ones.Quote:

Seriously, they're not even able to deliver live TEXT?? Unbelievable.
Stream working now
The problem is the Corona virus. All sports community has turned now to WRC due to lack of other sport events. wrc.com is not prepared for such high volume of users.
Mine is working again now, just after I sent an e-mail saying if it wasn’t fixed quickly I would be seeking compensation.
Seriously though, most of us can accept a glitch here and there, but since they changed the website it just fails consistently and even the login process falls over repeatedly, and if you finally succeed god help you if you try and watch AllLive.
Brilliant, after they seemed to have fixed the stream, I decided to activate the monthly sub so I could watch through the weekend, the website happily took my card info, but got stuck in infinite loading afterwards, so now the payment is reflected on my bank account, but WRC is still telling me I have no active subscription.
I sent an email and I hope they can sort it out quickly from their side, otherwise I would be rather pissed.
now we have some weird audio track going on
Aaaaand it's gone.
The BT Sport/ESPN HD channel is showing full live coverage of today's stages. Probably as its one of the few sports events still taking place.
From the WRC+ "newsletter". Wonder how they'll compensateQuote:

DEAR RALLY FANS,
Three years ago, the WRC Promoter had an ambitious plan – to give you live coverage of every stage of every rally, something that had never been attempted before. WRC+ All Live was born out of our passion for rally and became reality thanks to your devoted support. Without it, this project would have never happened.
That is not to say, that like all good relationships, this project has been plain sailing and not without problems along the way, particularly at the beginning of this season as we transit to an all-new platform. We have been devoted to fixing these issues and are confident they are now resolved.
Furthermore, we want to play our part to HELP FIGHT CORONAVIRUS, by providing you with plenty of reasons to remain at home! In the coming weeks, we will be:
Digging deep into our archives to provide you with exclusive highlights from some of the BEST MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF WRC.
Creating a number of SPECIAL FEATURES exclusively for you, the WRC+ subscribers.
We intend to keep you informed and up-to-date throughout this difficult time, as we look forward to being back to bringing you live WRC action as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Your WRC Team
It would be interesting to know what the WRC archive actually consists of? This may be rubbish, but I seem to recall from somewhere that at least some archive footage was disposed of during the North One era, to cut down on storage costs. IIRC this is why so many of the daily and event highlights shows from around 2001 onward got uploaded to the official WRC You Tube channel, to get them out there. (Well worth looking up if you aren't aware of them, in these times of isolation: https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...ighlights+2001 for example)Quote:

It wouldn't surprise me if FOM still hold the footage from 1996 to 2000 in their archive in Biggin Hill.
As the non racing period gets longer and longer, I'm starting to wonder how the WRC+ service will compensate the long term subscribers as their main product All Live is not live at all.
Can anybody recall if it's been said, or knows, how much it costs them to produce the All Live coverage for each rally? I have a feeling that Julian Porter said a number live on air once.
I'm particularly interested to know how much a it'd cost to cover a shorter two day event, by comparison. I can't imagine that can be answered though.
There are fixed expenses (shipping the equipment including the helicopter and transmitter aeroplane onto the location) and time-related expenses (the hours the transmitter aeroplane is airborne and the days the personnel must stay at the hotel). I don't think reducing one day makes much difference.
I imagine you're correct. Just curious really.Quote:

But if there's one day less of rallying and everything is compressed into a smaller time frame, then it might mean that you actually need more production resources to cover everything.
In a way there are too many variables to give any real opinion, how it would influence the production costs.
Anyone know if the Samsung TV app is working correctly at the moment? Considering a purchase but this could be a deciding factor.
Dose anybody know the latest Promo Code for WRC+
I bet that it doesn't work correctly. It is very rare for it to work on the day of the event.Quote:

And now the 'No commentary' option is broken (at least in desktop version). And they say they don't update this thing.
Been carrying that problem since yesterday...Quote:

Too much to follow to look.

Is there still WRC radio somewhere?
Think they stopped broadcasting the WRC All Live audio stream as radio.Quote:

They need to improve their live coverage, a lot of time the audio is out of sync/from the wrong car, stage end interviews are cut off etc.
Seb Marshall is doing stage end interviews this weekend.
Due to coronavirus restrictions of media having their own "bubbles", he cannot do live commentary.
Also good to read this twitter thread when criticizing the stage end interviewers...they can't always hear what the drivers say because the cars are so loud and they can't always watch the All Live broadcast so they don't know what's happened as well as we do.

I hope they've got the 'No Commentary' issue sorted for Turkey - it kept switching back to 'English' of it's own accord.
Bit too much of expression from a new commentator.
Another Mr Shouty, Desborough-style. :(Quote:

He’s a skiing commentator normally, on Eurosport I think...been around for years.
For me on the Samsung app commentator in Spanish (again). Is there a way to fix it?
