Haha, sounds like the conditions are perfect for becoming a last minute bookie.

I snuck an earlier feed via good old fashioned RTP (for testing purposes), and saw an england goal in the quarter finals 3 seconds ahead of them :D

I was really looking forward to the final, especially if it went to penalities :(

I actually wonder why they don’t offer basic RTP streams. Sure, this new HLS thing is often better for mobiles and shit connections but when I’m on a 500Mbps connection in the office and want to watch the World Cup, couldn’t they just cut the HLS crap and give me raw RTP?
