As per Elon Musk, > Streaming live exclusively on this platform! Broadcast link, https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1OwxWYzDXjWGQ https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1OwxWYzDXjWGQ --- edit: It looks like there is a YouTube link available (see comment below mine), and what Elon meant is that SpaceX themselves would be streaming exclusively on Twitter. Apologies for confusion.

  Is this feed live? Asking because I see a ~20 minute gap with the official countdown time.
  - belter 2y ago
    It says Live and is showing the correct Central Time(CT). But I would rather watch it with 20 min delay than create an X account... :-)
    - squarefoot 2y ago
      Same here. Not a fair move from Musk, but I guess he needs to use all tricks to bring some users back to X (did someone say porn?). I'll watch it later on other channels.

    Youtube livestreams are buggy sometimes, make sure you seek to the end.
  - Perz1val 2y ago
    There was a tweet linked somwhere here in which Musk said launch is 7:20 Texas time, 20mins before the "event" starts

I’m going to watch an alternative stream (probably Everyday Astronaut’s or NSF’s) on my TV just because I can’t be bothered with working out how to stream X to it. I’m sure I’m not the only one. IFT-3 I ended up watching some random restream of the official X stream on YouTube, which was actually less delayed/buffered than X on my phone was

  Everyday Astronaut is going to try to get tracking footage of the booster all the way from launch to the landing burn. That might be better than the official footage.

  If you have an Apple TV (or possibly also Android TV?) it's quite easy with the tvOS VLC app. The top comment here posted the stream link, https://prod-ec-us-west-2.video.pscp.tv/Transcoding/v1/hls/GZeN1Itiq72y2ZilYmMBTT1nBuC8wRBYTHZNRUd2-CgYjLAi5UwSRa-t0WNUPWRoOJD6P_EIyMCWNoInWMoM4A/transcode/us-west-2/periscope-replay-direct-prod-us-west-2-public/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsInZlcnNpb24iOiIyIn0.eyJFbmNvZGVyU2V0dGluZyI6ImVuY29kZXJfc2V0dGluZ183MjBwMzBfMTAiLCJIZWlnaHQiOjcyMCwiS2JwcyI6Mjc1MCwiV2lkdGgiOjEyODB9.ldktM4fCFRfkP4ZEBfZPKtlAUNAcTPkoz994YJAzWpE/dynamic_highlatency.m3u8?type=live https://prod-ec-us-west-2.video.pscp.tv/Transcoding/v1/hls/G... Just paste that into the network stream option in the tvOS VLC app and bam, good to go. It's really kinda magical with an iPhone, as you can just paste the link into the popup on your phone!

Does "something went wrong" mean you have to be logged in to view it, like you have to be logged in to do anything on the musk hellsite these days?
- skilled 2y ago
  Yeah. As a logged-in user I can see it, but it is not playing yet.
  - voidUpdate 2y ago
    Well that's aggravating. I can't watch it after I lost access to my account because every time I do the 2FA it just tells me "something went wrong"
    - Perz1val 2y ago
      I wonder if that's also because you're not logged in...
    - rvnx 2y ago
      Same with Facebook password recovery, eventually leads to "Sorry your request cannot be fulfilled" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so access lost forever.
  - numpad0 2y ago
    So many cases of such login walls and/or automatic display bans are seen on Twitter these days. It's insane.
    - weberer 2y ago
      >these days Twitter has been like this since at least 2016.
      - voidUpdate 2y ago
        Maybe but you could at least see a whole thread instead of only the tweet you clicked on without being logged in, and you could see posts on someone's page in chronological order instead of leaving it up to The Algorithm™

The youtube video is third party footage, which can also be interesting, but it's definitely not the same as the official broadcast, which is _not_ going to be on youtube (unless you want to watch a badly faked video of Musk giving away bitcoin instead of the launch).
mensetmanusman 2y ago
Beware of the YouTube streaming, so many people got crypto scammed with deep fakes last time.
- cwillu 2y ago
  The youtube stream he's linking to is a third party stream, not a rebroadcast of the official stream (which is what bitcoin scams are doing).
  - mensetmanusman 2y ago
    Exactly, just warning people who search YouTube to be alert, the sophistication of scammers with low cost compute is getting high.
ta1243 2y ago
Some of us aren't interested in the "third parties" like Everyday Astronaut and NSF, we just want to see the official spacex coverage. Last time there was a VLC compatible stream posted on HN

  It looks fake - https://www.youtube.com/@SpaceXForEU https://www.youtube.com/@SpaceXForEU . The crazy thing is that this one fake has 360k viewers which is comparable to 560k viewers on official X broadcast. Here is the official channel - https://www.youtube.com/@SpaceX https://www.youtube.com/@SpaceX Aha, it is fake see - https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1d5s80x/laminzu_or_spacex_what/ https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1d5s80x/laminzu_or... . Normally these are used to push crypto scams.
- TiredOfLife 2y ago
  The account hijack -> rename to spacex -> push crypto scam livestream thing has been going on for years. I wonder how much money Google gets from those because I see no other reason Youtube doesn't have some "if account with x subscribers changes name to spacex and starts live streaming" alert.

        Im sure SpaceX's investors love being used to promote a single private social media platform. Sounds like another case of the CEO enriching themselves to the detriment of investors.
    - AnthonyMouse 2y ago
      There are hypothetically advantages. The affiliated company would be more inclined to promote them, so they could get in front of some people who otherwise might not have seen it. Conversely, a company that competes with the affiliated company might be inclined to do the opposite to avoid promoting a competitor's businesses, so the countervailing costs of exclusivity are lower for their company in particular. They also might be wary of platforms like YouTube which host "Elon Musk wants to give you Bitcoins" scam videos, which Twitter has a stronger incentive to be aggressive in removing because of who owns it, and then there is value to the company in being able to say "none of the YouTube videos are legitimate, you can only see it here."
