+Title: The Norwegian open channel Frikanalen - 24x7 on the Internet
+Tags: english, video, nuug, frikanalen

+
+<p>The Norwegian nationwide open
+channel <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Frikanalen</a> is still going
+strong.  It allow everyone to send the video they want on national
+television.  It is a TV station administrated completely using a web
+browser, running only Free Software, and with distribution on the
+national DVB-T distribution network RiksTV.  But only between 12:00
+and 17:30.  This has changed.  A few weeks ago, we set up a Ogg Theora
+stream via icecast to allow everyone with Internet access to check out
+the channel the rest of the day.  This is presented on
+<a href="www.frikanalen.tv/se">the Frikanalen web site now</a>.  And
+since a few days ago, the channel is also available
+via <a href="https://www.uninett.no/iptv-tilgang">multicast on
+UNINETT</a>, available for those using IPTV TVs and set-top boxes in
+the Norwegian National Research and Education network.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to see what is on the channel, point your media player
+to one of these sources.  The first should work with most players and
+browsers, while as far as I know, the multicast UDP stream only work
+with VLC.</p>

+  <li>udp://@224.17.43.129:1234</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The Ogg Theora / icecast stream is not working well, as the video
+and audio is slightly out of sync.  We have not been able to figure
+out how to fix it.  It is generated by recoding a internal MPEG
+transport stream with MPEG4 coded video (ie H.264) to Ogg Theora /
+Vorbis, and the result is less then stellar.  If you have ideas how to
+fix it, please let us know on frikanalen (at) nuug.no.  We currently
+use this with ffmpeg2theora 0.29:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+./ffmpeg2theora.linux &lt;OBE_gemini_URL.ts&gt; -F 25 -x 720 -y 405 \
+ --deinterlace --inputfps 25 -c 1 -H 48000 --keyint 8 --buf-delay 100 \
+ --nosync -V 700 -o - | oggfwd video.nuug.no 8000 &lt;pw&gt; /frikanalen.ogv
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>If you get the multicast UDP stream working, please let me know, as
+I am curious how far the multicast stream reach.  It do not make it to
+my home network, nor any other commercially available network in
+Norway that I am aware of.</p>
