Coming weeks
CODE http://www.mininova.org together with CODE http://www.tribler.org/ will be starting a closed beta for new video streaming software. The software is developed by the The Tribler team at the Technical University of Delft/Netherlands.The first beta for this software will be invitation only for a small group of Mininova members. Because of various reasons it will only work with CODE http://www.mininova.org/cat/featured . There will be some statistics gathered, but no personal information will be included in these reports, in addition the player is open source so everybody can exactly see what is going on.We are looking for people who would like to test the software and report their suggestions and bugs they find. Please reply to this topic if you want to participate in this closed beta. |

QUOTE (MrBee @ Mar 6 2008, 06:57 PM)  Not to sure what it is ... but I'll try anything once Hi, i'm Freek Zindel from the Tribler team. Currently we are working on new algorithms that allow bittorrent streaming. This means that you can watch a video while it downloads. This test with the featured content will be that some users will get early access to a video player beta. The beta software can automatically start a download and play when you click a streaming button on the Mininova website. You don't need to have any specific skills to participate in the test. We are as much interested in your experiences regarding usability as we are in your evaluation of the performance of the beta. The software also gathers performance measurements by itself, so even by just using the application you can help us improve the technology. To really stress test the system we will need quite a few users, so feel free to sign up for the test. |

QUOTE (wantu2much @ Mar 10 2008, 10:56 PM) ill have a go at it Great! I'm happy that you all signed up for the test. However, we would like to start with about 50 people in the beta group. This increases the chance that two or more people will be downloading a video at the same time. If you have friends who you think might also like to participate, please send them over to this topic. |

Hallo Freek,
Ik wil ook wel meehelpen met testen, download redelijk veel. Is dit een afstudeer-opdracht? Ik hoor wel hoe en wat. In de tussentijd zal ik het programma installeren. Succes! -------------------- |

Het Tribler team heeft met een aantal mensen gewerkt aan video distributie. We hebben deze technologie nu al een tijdje intern getest bij studenten en wetenschappers. Samen met mininova willen we nu deze technologie gaan testen op echte gebruikers. |
