The
Eurovision Song Contest Webcast, the “Hard” Way (Optional)
If
you don't feel like the “Easy Way” is challenging enough, don't stop
after you install the Octoshape plugin. Instead of staring at the
computer monitor you can actually watch the Eurovision Song Contest on
your TV at near broadcast quality.
If
your graphics card has a composite video or S-Video out you can connect
this output to most TVs. This type of graphics card will allow you to
either clone the desktop to the video out so that both the
external TV and the computer monitor show the same picture.
Alternately, the card will let you use the dual output where your TV
acts as the second screen. Either configuration is acceptable and
depends on your preferences.
I
prefer playing Octoshape stream in an external player like Windows
Media Player because sometimes the Flash based implementations of
within-the-browser stream have issues with full screen playback. If
your Firefox keeps insisting on launching the stream within the browser
instead of external media player you can disable the Firefox extension
that handles Octoshape streams. Make sure the Octoshape plugin is
running when you attempt to stream the Eurosong contest (you can also
configure the Octoshape plugin to run when the computer starts).
Once the
Windows Media Player starts playing the stream press ALT+ENTER to
enlarge to full screen.
