Enhanced viewing of Massachusetts Offensive UFR available (for now)
The enhanced UFR viewer web app is now available for the UMass Offensive UFR. The launch page is here:
Video Notes: As always, the linked video clips are dependent on the fine work over at MGoVideo.com. Last weekend's game was on BTN, which raises some issues. Thorin can probably address this better, but BTN tends to be aggressive in removing content from their broadcasts from YouTube. MGoVideo has two varieties of video for the UMass game. There is the customary "Every Snap" condensed video, but it is posted on Blip TV, not YouTube. This requires a different video player and while the viewer app can partially support this, there are currently no automatic video queing scripts that work with these other players (i.e. - the Watch Video button will not work). This is a theoretically solvable problem, but would require way more time than I can afford to devote to this at the present time.
So I have instead linked to the YouTube videos posted by MGoVideo. These are full replays (not condensed "every snap") which is fine; the video indexing will still work and will automatically switch between the first and second half videos. These were posted as unlisted videos on YouTube, but since they are up on MGoVideo, I assumed they were okay for me to reference. In the past, BTN videos on YouTube have had a habit of being removed and if Thorin prefers that I not reference them, I will unlink and use the Blip TV videos instead, with the accompanying limitations.

I'm not sure if its working for me. All I get is the video when I click on the "offense" or "defense". Is there supposed to be more (something UFR related) that goes along with the video?

Sometimes the Java gets cranky (thinks something's out of date) and doesn't like the load the UFR-y part. I can't get it to work on Firefox but it works just fine on Chrome.

The UFR viewer appears below the video. I have to 'allow' java to run and then a gametracker type app loads below the vid in the pop up window. There you can see scoring by quarter, the play description and then the normal UFR catagories: formation, play, play type, player, yards and defensive formation.

EDIT: check "countdown to kickoff" 4 threads up.
BTN deleted the Blip TV videos. I'm purposely not posting them on the board or my site but I've tweeted unlisted YouTube links for both offense and defense.
