For anyone equally frustrated as I was with the site's navigation to simply find streams by room and not by some scheduled talk that happens to align with my current time...
The raw stream URLs are of the format:
https://stream.fosdem.org/${roomname}.m3u8 https://stream.fosdem.org/${roomname}.m3u8
So for room H.1302:
`mpv https://stream.fosdem.org/h1302.m3u8 https://stream.fosdem.org/h1302.m3u8`
Room D.emulator:
`mpv https://stream.fosdem.org/demulator.m3u8 https://stream.fosdem.org/demulator.m3u8`
You can see the URL-appropriate room names in various places by just hovering over the link etc.
I don't know if it's just me, but the site's navigation to find streams as a normal human being seemed ridiculously unnecessarily convoluted.
Why they don't have a page capturing a live cross-section of what's currently live-streaming by room, where you can simply click on the room that most interests you presently to start watching that room is beyond me. Maybe I just missed it.
- tux3 4y agoThis may be the page you want? It has what's currently playing in every room, and you can find a link to the video from there. https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/streaming/ https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/streaming/
- pengaru 4y agoHuh, I must have clicked right past that page without realizing it was what I wanted. The right column of "no event scheduled" rows should really say "next event starts in XX minutes". As-is it sends a very misleading message of there being nothing booked for that room at all today, which just makes the page seem useless/broken at a glance when they all say that uniformly. I suspect it's why I quickly moved on from it.
