Webcam Darts TV Channel

Daroxtar

Hi guys,
I had an idea a few weeks about how to play darts against each other using the webcam. I contacted Ratinakeg to try and get it set up and organised to have a go at it but as luck would have it his webcam broke today so he cant do it.

Anyway, if anyone is online tonight for the next hour or so and would like a game i'll show ye how this thing works if ye'r interested. Its not perfect but its something to play around with and have a laugh while practising. The link below will take you to the channel page and i'll be there for the next hour or so.

You'll have to register a username but that should only take 2 mins, so hopefully i'll see ye there. Once you see how it operates you can play away yourselves without having to use the channel

All the best ,

Well, it'll work ok and fair play to ratinakeg for spending his evening trying to get it going with me. Shame his webcam wasnt working but he's seen the layout when it is operating so he can give his judgement. Personally, i think it looks gand. I'll be away for a few days but maybe this weekend i'll try and get it up and running properly for anyone who is interested. Again, a big thanks to Rat who's head i thoroughly wrecked but fair play to you for the support.

Me and Daroxtar will be trying to get this going at about 3pm today, if and when we set this up it will be good for the next online tournament!

Is there any software on the net that you can do the split screen like it has with every dart match, where you can see the dartboard and player throwing, using 2 webcams???

I checked that out but its only a free trial. I might have a mess around with some other streaming sites like justin tv or morpheus to see whats the best. Havin said that, Ustream is usually fairly good and its pretty user friendly. I'll plug away with this for a while anyway and see if i can fine tune it a bit
