8:20 - 8:30 intermission
8:30 - 8:55 Horimiya 9 (Funi, Hulu)
8:55 - 10:10 Samplers:
The World Ends With You the Animation (Funi)
Notes: We started showings proper about an hour late, so we dropped a couple of the samplers.
We were late because (1) Alan was running late, (2) there was a conversation that continued even after he arrived, and (3) we were trying a couple different configurations for running showings. We cut most of the samplers except for Tropical-Rouge! Precure (which Alan chose so we'd sample it during Mermay...)
Stream from Alan’s MacBook Pro via Discord. No audio shared (Discord still doesn’t share audio on Mac and Linux machines), and video frame rate was incredibly low according to the folks on Discord.
Stream from Alan’s MacBook Pro via Zoom. Audio was shared now, but all the online viewers agreed the frame rate was only marginally better than via Discord. At this point Alan’s MBP has streamed video poorly on both his network and on Gene’s - we’ll have to test via David’s to be sure.
Stream from Adam’s computer.
He had to do some special setup for his wireless earphones so that he could hear audio from both the chat and from the video being played.
At Gene’s
Alan connected to Gene’s receiver via HDMI. His MBP muted everyone on the chat, and streamed full screen video to the TV
Gene connected to Discord on a spare iPad, connecting only to the audio chat. He used his Jambox as a better microphone and set of speakers than the ones built into the iPad. We had to keep fiddling with sensitively to avoid feedback from the TV
