I should also mention the quality of video has been fantastic thus far. Crisp images, great color and good on track shots.

No, they are not, only qualy and race. I am in the same boat...

Is the timing 71 extension different from the "better timing" extension?

I think so, in case I am wrong you can google "timing 71 google chrome extension" and will be able to check if you have it installed or not.

thanks, i got it to work. It wasn't automatic I actually had to launch the extension, but it works great

Was able to get RLM to sync w/ my Roku / Motortrend App during the first session. A few very minor glitches w/ the app, but all in all, working out great.

Still looking for a shirt....

I'd like to figure how I'm supposed to stream these and the broadcast simultaneously while stream using the app. Maybe a second TV or use the computer / monitor for the onboards? Likely the latter....

I was able to stream the practice feed on the app today, but tried to sign in on the computer and couldn't get it to work for some reason. I'm sure it was operator error, but i was stumped

I'm actually trying to do 'a bit of' work today; i'll look for something maybe during the race....

Are we going to have all the cameras switched on for Hyperpole tomorrow?

Why would they switch off? IIRC last time they did was years ago during practice.

They’ve been switched off all day today. Only functioning cameras are Porsche Curves through to Tetre Rouge - nothing along the Mulsanne, the chicanes, Indy or Arnage, which is about 2/3rds of the circuit.

It's not that they aren't switched on. They probably just aint there. They build up through the week:

Other cameras (another 20 approx) aren't put in until Friday. Those are only charged for 3 days.

So the number of camera days they are paying for is 156.

To do test day coverage, they would have to put cameras in on Saturday. That's a 9 day hire.

Given the budget isn't likely to rise, that means fewer cameras at other points in the race week.

To maintain full coverage of the track during the race, you'd have to drop down to 8 cameras. So the already patchy coverage on Wednesday and Thursday would get even worse.

I also tried to add a subscription inside the app to make sure I have video for the entire 24 hours but couldn't figure out how to give them my money either!
