Message: "YOU HAVE WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS"
I feel like Ralphie after decoding the Ovaltine message ;-)
And the video thing is neat too, I'll have to try it out. |

Wonderful, now if we could get some flash support and have the screen display our in game browser... Bam, youtube on the EVE screens, and im sure you could get it to stream to other players as well if they visit your captains quarters, or even station side bars. |

mind giving us an overview on the settings you use so we do not get bloated and corrupt files with proper audio synchronization? |

Would be good for CCP to add some of their proprietary videos as .bik downloads directly from eveonline.com - stuff from EVE Trailers to Dust 514 trailers...
Just a thought. |

I don't know if I did this correctly.
My game is on my M drive.
I dropped the bik's into:
C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\m_ccp_eve_tranquility\cache\CQScreenVideos
but all I get is sort of a "blank" screen. It looks like there may be a fog moving around the edges.
The default videos were playing before I dropped them in that folder. I restarted the game and now nothing is playing.

"Sup Dawg, we heard you like screens, so we put a screen in your screen so you could view stuff in Eve while you view stuff in Eve!"
:-D
Also, this.
Quote:Just make it possible to display web sites on that thing and let us handle it from there.
3rd party developers would have a field day. Imagine live economic data from eve-central.. a customized subdomain to work with the small screen. Or what the guys at eve-kill could do with it.. or battleclinic.
First thing after logging in each time I'd turn the TV to the eve-kill channel and check for the latest kills in the constelation i'm currently in. Yep, I'd turn my CQ on for this.
Beyond that... I think I need Pink and the Brain cartoons playing in my CQ, along with classic Wile E. Coyote vrs Roadrunner. ^_^ |

For some of those having issues with choppy sound, are you doing conversions while you watch in CQ? My sound/video seems to do it when I have multiple conversions eating my CPU. Also, if you are using the /LUA:OFF switch(alot of client managers use this), the location of the files will be different.
One more note, the location of the cache varies slightly with the name of the logged in character as well.
For the mac users, a quick google provided this: http://www.bigasoft.com/articles/how-to-convert-bik-to-mp3-avi.html , which has a link to a mac version

Heh.
Players show you how easily one can manipulate your content and you first frown upon it then include it as a feature with a wee bit of looping code.
If you wan't to get serious about it then start coding the ability to "zoom in" on the screen to enlarge it and throw in the ability for you to stream select content to it (hint: Alliance Tournament, in-game ads). |

In-game ads might make for extra revenue for CCP even, which might not be a bad thing

I got a video to work but the sound was slowed down slightly plus the sound/video had a slight skip or something to it occasionally.
I know nothing about A/V stuff but tried to convert YouTube stuff, supposedly either in flv/mp4 formats, to one of the formats that Bink can convert to bik but none of my attempts worked. I would get an error opening file message in Bink. |

This would make CQ worth turning on at least some of the time. As at least one person already said, this is the way to roll. Take a non-game-breaking hack and make it available to everyone with a little extra TLC from you. Make Eve fun. Make Eve ours again. Well done. |

They did that already. "Eve is real". Somebody's actually got their thinking caps on up there on the icey lands :-) And... Considering how smart and computer savvy many Eve players are, it continues to astound me how clueless and narrowminded they are. Do you really think this was a bug in the first place? The only bug is that some ppl found out before CCP were ready to release it. If you've ever coded a piece of software from the ground up, you know that functionality doesn't pop up randomly. tldr: It's been in the architecture all along. Now it's in the feature booklet.
Now they need a section for properly encoded BINK versions of those videos, thus saving people from having to fiddle with getting their own coversions right.
Just a thought.
As a related side note to people that have asked about it, I don't doubt that the abilty to stream to this scrreen may be in the cards (when time allows), but an "outside view" of the station you are in is a vastly different proposition than simply streaming other content. While that would be viewed by many to be the ultimate useful feature that could possibly be deveiopted for CQ, it would require a significant amount of dev time to accomplish. Still, it would be the ultimate tie in between WIS and FIS content.
To kill the enemy and break their toys!
It's not so much a mission statement,-áit's more like a family motto. |

There's a small difference between showing youtube videos to your friends, writing a personal application, and selling a product like EVE with YouTube or Netflix. CCP NEEDs permission from Google and Netflix to stream the video. Possible, yes, but I'd much prefer my CQ load a couple BIKs off my hard drive than start streaming Netflix every time I dock. |

be sure you are including the audio when converting to bik. I am finding even having that check box marked doesn't always work with flv/mp4/etc files from YouTube so I am looking at TPB for avi versions (like the music videos on YouTube but on TPB in avi). Fortunately I found HQ versions of the files I want but they are in mkv so now I have to educate myself on finding an easy to use mkv to Bink usable files to convert to bik.

Myabe... Maybe not... its not like any other web browser needs permission to run youtube or netflix all the in game browser would need is the codex or html5 or what ever the IGB is missing to render youtube and netflix...
also i would like the ING when CQ is loaded to be the TV... basically i sit down on the couch load the TV it becomes my internet and takes up most of the screen...
IMO this would be the simple way to get multiple people to view the same video as you if they are in your CQ(when that is alloud)
though this is just my dream... and think it would be awesome to see but no rush on it... |

You must be new here. CCP can't even give us Amarr, Caldari, or Gallente quarters. They haven't given us the promised 5th T3 subsystem. FW is forgotten and unfinished. COSMOS is broken and unfinished. 0.0 is broken, lowsec is forgotten. Ships are horribly unbalanced and have been for years, and you think somebody will ever be able to visit your quarters? HAHA, I'll be shocked if it ever happens.
Even if they could, what's the point? Everyone's CQ looks exactly the same, and probably will forever. CCP has decided to sell the cosmetic stuff that will enable you to make your CQ unique in the NEX store, with their ludicrous prices and **** poor selection. Want to buy a new couch? That will cost you as much as a real couch. There's no variety in the stuff and the prices are beyond ridiculous. Incarna was a spectacular failure on so many levels and CCP has already stuck their head in the sand about it, left it as is, and moved on to different shiny promises that they'll either never deliver, or complete half way and then abandon.
For CQ (and WiS in general) to succeed, it has to be integrated to the rest of the game. NPCs should drop cosmetic items in addition to their current loot. You should get trophies from kills, players should be able to make clothes, furniture, etc. There should be artists devoting all of their time to creating more and more items to put on your toon and in your room, and they should completely remove the NEX store and Aurum. Wait, what am I thinking? This is CCP. They said they were going to revamp the art of all the ships starting with the Scorpion (which looks good by the way) and then abandoned it like they always do.
I just realized that it's more fun to get on these forums and ***** about CCP that it is to actually log in and play their game in which every feature set is either broken or half finished with a UI that would have made people recoil in horror in 1990. |

Okay so I now have "Day of Darkness II" playing on my CQ View Screen! (loved that video)
Would be great to see EVE Files put up some .bik downloads of player made EVE movies/ shorts...
Now what we need is CCP to enable a mechanism for player created content ingame ,such as ingame .bik CORP RECRUITMENT video!!!!
NOW THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! |
