China Open 2009 - Live streams!

[hegeland]

This is the place to post links to webstreams of the China Open!

Probably many who don't have Eurosport or Eurosport Player can watch Chinese sports channel CCTV5 via SopCast or similar programs.

[superaussie]

i seem to remember for the shanghai masters in october there was a site showing streaming of all the tables in round 1

hopefully the china open will be the same

[JiangYu]

http://www.tvunetworks.com/

Download the player and you should be able to Stream the China Open via the Chinese channels - CCTV5, CCTV-Sports, Shanghai Sports etc...with different tables. It's how I streamed it last year when I wanted to watch other tables other than the televised ones.

[darrus]

JiangYu
Would you be able to post a schedule - when Chinese channels will be showing snooker? It's difficult to work out using online translators :)

[westover]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any live streams yet. I live in canada pacific coast and think it starts here at 10pm. Is that right?

Thanks in advance

[westover]

Hi again,
I'm on pacific time so I think that the games start at 1030pm tonight. I thought that we are 16hrs behind. Does anyone know if that's right?
Thanks
Wendy

[Forman]

[westover]

Wendy

[Forman]

what player u using to watch shanghai sports Goldspark?

[darrus]

Here you are supposed to be able to watch both TV tables, but only one of them works for me.
http://sports.sina.com.cn/z/snookerchn09video/
The program needs to install a plugin on your computer, my antivirus software said it's harmless.

[davidhawkes]

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/world-snooker-china-open

The above is a Eurosport stream. Sounds like the commentary is Russian.

Wenbo v Milkins on at the moment.

[crush]

and one more stream:

[foolsgold]

Has anyone got a link for the Holt/Xiao game? I'm rubbish at streaming, I click on the links and most of the time (eg. for that last link www.fromsport.com) it opens a new window but there's no video. Do you need to download stuff before you can stream?

[Ellena]

Thank you Crush! :) Much appreciated.

I wanted to ask you guys smth. TVU and Sopcast both work fine from me, not buffering much and all, BUT the image is a mess for me..its all orange and green , a problem with the colors , i hardly am able to distinguish smth. :confused: Anyone else had this problem ? And if so yas have any idea wot i can do ab it?
Thanks

[davidhawkes]

Should be no need to download software.

You remember to press the play button on the video player?

[Forman]

I tried watching on TVU player and it was buffering so much it was unwatchable so i tried sopcast and its been running perfectly for hours

[foolsgold]

Should be no need to download software.

You remember to press the play button on the video player?

The video box thing never appears.

Don't you need to download Sopcast? In which case is there a certain version you need to use?

[snooky147]

http://www.acesportstreams.blogspot.com/ Liangs game on there.

[Ellena]

I tried watching on TVU player and it was buffering so much it was unwatchable so i tried sopcast and its been running perfectly for hours

Yes Forman works fine for me too from that point of view..but once connected the image is a mess...a mix up of green and orange , i cant distinguish balls nor players...only that they are moving there lol ...I dunno how to explain better than this ...

[crush]

sorry, for this link http://www.fromsport.com/?cat=8 you even do not need to press PLAY, just press the title of translation and it will be opened in the new tab, be waiting for a while and ....oops!... live stream, unfortunately, not for the Holt match ;)

[davidhawkes]

I had this a while back, when upgrading to a newer version of realplayer.

Ended up going back to an older version.

[DandyA]

TVU player watching Shanghai Sports is working perfectly for me (Wenbo/Milkins) ... excellent pic quality and no buffering at all ...

[Ellena]

I had this a while back, when upgrading to a newer version of realplayer.

Ended up going back to an older version.

I see. Then maybe i should try an older version too . Thanks for the hint .:)

[davidhawkes]

You can always change the default player.

[foolsgold]

I've downloaded some kind of Sopcast, I 'log in as anonymous' but am not sure how to get the snooker on there... any ideas?

[darrus]

I've downloaded some kind of Sopcast, I 'log in as anonymous' but am not sure how to get the snooker on there... any ideas?

Open the channel list and click on Shanghai Sports

[foolsgold]

It's saying it 'Can not retrieve data...'. It's pretty annoying, I was looking forward to watching the Holt game.

[snookerfan92]

If you download Sopcast (http://www.sopcast.org/download/) not only you can watch it live, but also record. Its a handy feature in case you can't watch it live, or in case your elsewhere.

[RocketRoy1983]

Hey snookerfan

Are we going to see any of This tourno on youtube buddy?

[snookerfan92]

Hey snookerfan

Are we going to see any of This tourno on youtube buddy?

Yes, here's what I've uploaded so far:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=CE4387EDA99F6664

It will be difficult to upload some of the earlier matches in the day because of the time difference between Shanghai and england. I think Shanghai is 7 hours ahead of england.

[RocketRoy1983]

You are truly a wonderful person!! :D

Cheers SF your a legend!

[ore]

hello there..

anyone planning to watch swail...tonight? 10 am China, so should be 3 am UK, 5 am Lithuania :)

or anyone recording and uploading afterwards?

[snookerfan92]

hello there..

anyone planning to watch swail...tonight? 10 am China, so should be 3 am UK, 5 am Lithuania :)

or anyone recording and uploading afterwards?

Normally, I would record and upload to Youtube, but 3am is just to late for me, and 5am is too early for me. Luckily, the Youtube user: snooker078 lives in Hong Kong, where the time is the same as ShangHai, so maybe he will upload those matches at 3am and 5am.

[wildhoney28]

Swail v. Milkins is not televised.

[ore]

that's a pitty... :(

snookerfan, 3am in UK and 5am in Lithuania is the same time. We've got 2 hours difference from you, 1 hour difference from most of Europe.
good when tournaments are in china - 0730 am is a little early, 0930 not so bad anymore. but when something takes place in UK, and there are complaints that it lasted almost till midnight...thats almost till 2 am here :/

[RocketRoy1983]

All the suggested links when I click on them show nba basketball and not snooker like i click on. cant watch swail/milkins at present :mad:

[Rane]

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/world-snooker-china-open

The above is a Eurosport stream. Sounds like the commentary is Russian.

Wenbo v Milkins on at the moment.

Showing Maguire and Harold right now.

[darrus]

Shanghai Sports is showing Higgins and CCTV5 is showing Maguire

[Asi]

shanghai sports is showing higgins and cctv5 is showing maguire

[darrus]

You can watch in on SopCast or TVU

[recoil]

And also on http://atdhe.net/live-tv-5604.html

[Asi]

Huge thanks!

[foolsgold]

If you download Sopcast (http://www.sopcast.org/download/) not only you can watch it live, but also record. Its a handy feature in case you can't watch it live, or in case your elsewhere.

Do you have to pay for Sopcast?

[darrus]

Both SopCast and TVU are free.

[quintahunter]

Will we be able to watch Ronnie VS Fergal?:rolleyes:

[ore]

yeah, Eurosport does not seem to be showing ronnie's match from the start at least... :mad:

[dannyd0g]

[faz786]

http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-cctv5-test.html its working and very good picture quality

[darrus]

Selby's on the other TV table, so no Hendry today :(

[very.tee]

Selby's on the other TV table, so no Hendry today :(

does anyone have a link for the selby match? I've tried a few and they all seem to be playing Ronnie (hardly suprising:p) but I want to watch Mark!

[darrus]

It was shown on Chinese page with two tables - I gave the link earlier. It doesn't have sound though. But I've recorded it anyway.

[DonM]

I caught some of the tournament on TVUPlayer last night starting at 23:30 Pacific Daylight Time (that's 08:30 GMT.. I think).

Does anyone know how long the feed from the Beijing Open runs? While I was watching they only covered one match... do they switch around occaisionally?

thanks for tolerating a newbie question
Don

PS will there be a similar internet TV feed for the World's at Sheffield?

[darrus]

DonM, there are two Chinese sports channels you can get via TVU - CCTV5 and ShanghaiSports. Normally they show the whole matches from the beginning till they finish, and if their schedule is to be believed - they'll keep doing it till the end of the week.
There are two TV tables at this tournament. Normally CCTV5 will show one table and ShanghaiSports the other. But when Ding played his match and yesterday when Ronnie was playing, it was on both channels.
If this is the case, you can watch the other match that is on TV table here http://sports.sina.com.cn/z/snookerchn09video/
When the matches start, on this page there will be a black screen, and on the left - two arrows on pink background. You press an arrow - it starts showing one table. If you want to switch tables - press the other arrow. The stream goes ok, but it doesn't have sound.

I don't know if Chinese channels show World Championships, but I'm sure there will be streams from Eurosport and BBC available when the time comes.

Hope it helps :)

[DonM]

Thanks Darrus

Don :)

[westover]

Is anyone out there tonight with any streams? I can only find one with no sound. Any help would be appreciated
Wendy

[ronjans]

Justin tv working for anyone?

[RocketRoy1983]

Justin tv working for anyone?

Justintv is annoying me lately last night I clicked the England match and it kept showing the Wales match!!! :mad:

Higgins on eurosport now if its any good for you?

[ronjans]

thx, but i have to subscribe first. lol

[darrus]

ShanghaiSports is working perfectly. Too bad the stream for Hendry's match is going as wrong as possible :(

[westover]

Thanks, but I can't get eurosport in canada unless it's trough justin or something like that.

[Scoyah]

How do i watch Hendry's match? All i'm getting is Higgins.

[Monique]

anyone on tsf is strugglin for hendry match it is on here


http://www.fromsport.com/video.php?activity=2943

semih


Thanks Sem!:)

[João]

Most appreciated!!!

[Scoyah]

thanks a lot! :)

[Peter Crouch]

Any leads on where to stream Ronnie's game in an hour?

Thanks!

On more thing, I can't seem to work out how to use TVUPlayer. Shouldn't be any problems you might think but it is to me. Doesn't matter which channel I try, it doesn't start broadcasting. It says "Starting channel...please..." and the blue bar stops filling up at appr. 90-95% or something.

Any ideas?

I've just downloaded the player and that's pretty much it, anything else I should do?

Thanks!

[Peter Crouch]

Ronnie's game is on http://www.fromsport.com/video.php?activity=2943

Pretty low Q, anyone with a better link?

[snooky147]

How typical, Live scoring down AGAIN.

[gavpowell]

http://www.fromsport.com/video.php?activity=3075&video=6528

works better for me than most of the others.

[snooky147]

Anybody got a link to the other table?

[snooky147]

Hi, IF anyone can provide a link to the Dott v Pettman Game in the morning I would appreciate it.

[darrus]

http://sports.sina.com.cn/z/snookerchn09video
Here definitely, also it is possible one of Chinese channels will show it.

[snooky147]

Thank you darrus

[westover]

I'd just like to thank snookerfan92 for posting the evening games in shanghai, I wouldn't be able to see the o'sullivan games since they're in the middle of the night in canada.

[gby4]

This works for me:
http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-cctv5-test.html

[wildhoney28]

Where on sopcast is snooker at the moment?
CCTV is showing F1,and the same on Shanghai Sports.

[Odrl]

That's it I'm afraid. Let's hope they show these last three frames after the F1.

[darrus]

Chinese stream without sound is still working - I gave the link earlier.

[Peter Crouch]

CCTV-5 will show Snooker in 26 min

[Peter Crouch]

Ok, I don't get anything on either CCTV-5 or Shanghai. Anyone got a stream?

[dannyd0g]

This works for me:
http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-cctv5-test.html

this one works well with no freezing, and no downloads required

[lkomarci]

OMG Higgins what was that black all about? :confused:

[tonydrago]

Has anyone found a stream with English commentary?

[darrus]

There is no stream with English commentary because Eurosport doesn't show it live

[lindsey240887]

no English commentary though, can't find one at all so far.
