Matt D Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 It's a little silly to talk so much about Dave here, but what the hell: I don't think he necessarily should need to know what's out there and what's not at this point, but he should know who to ask, if that makes sense.

ohtani's jacket Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 In fairness to Dave, I don't think he actually said there was a bunch of stuff that had never been seen. He said there was a Choshu/Takano vs. Tenryu/Misawa match that had never been shown on TV. Then he listed a bunch of random stuff he'd found, but I don't think he's implying that Super J Cup or Skydiving J are new. Regarding Japanese mobiles, at present it's only available on Android or iPhone. There's a long list on the website of smartphones that it can't be streamed on. It seems the only tablet it's available for is iPad. That should give you an idea of how far behind Japan is when it comes to these type of services. They're still in their infancy here. I'm not sure how only being on the two biggest smartphone platforms is an issue here? They website only lists a handful of phones that it's incompatible with for some reason, which happens with all sorts of Android apps for a number of reasons. Also, Android phone apps are built to scale to Android tablets. Actually, I checked again and it's mostly basic phones that aren't supported, though for some reason it isn't very compatible with LG phones.

Zenjo Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've just had a scan through the match listings. I'm sure it's great if you follow the modern NJPW. They're going to have to substantially increase the amount of archive footage to make it worthwhile for me. For a promotion with 42 years of shows in the vault there really isn't much up there yet.

DGinnetty Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I don't hook my laptop up to my TV because I like to use my laptop. It's a pain in the ass and I don't need to do it for anything that I stream nowadays. If anything, that's the more stone age way to watch stuff on your TV. Any streaming service worth anything has game console apps, smart TV apps, or set top box apps. If the point of this is for NJPW to be more worldwide, they should certainly add apps for those devices. It's common sense for them to do so. I don't really care, I'm not blasting the guy for it. Just find it funny is all. Although I'm not sure how accepting we would be of historians in other fields having such gaps in their resource knowledge. We're talking about a couple of random matches here, I think you're overreacting when you imply he has gaps in his knowledge because of this. Do you honestly expect him to be privy of every match that has ever made tape? With some of these, we're talking relatively obscure matches which in some cases you need to dive pretty deep into the comp/download world to find. I had mentioned that the lost July 2012 PPV is available on NJW on Twitter last night, and I got some responses that the key matches aired in clipped form on NJPW TV. I never knew that and I follow New Japan as closely as anybody. I know Alan has never seen those matches either. Some of this stuff is not easy to find, even for super nerds like us. *****WPW Returns is a NJ show that aired on one of TV Asahi's satellite channels a few years back. My recollection was that they aired 2 or 3 matches from the 7/22 show uncut, then clipped versions of the under card matches. Tracking all the ways you can see NJ footage is daunting task to say the least.****** Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGinnetty Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Just to clarify, if I get a Chromecast dongle, how do I add the NJPW world app? I would prefer to watch this on my TV instead of my PC. I did download the .apk file to my android phone, and it works great! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Enthusiast Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I don't own a Chromecast, so someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe there is an app involved at this point. You would just "cast a tab" from the Chrome browser on your PC to your Chromecast/TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGinnetty Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 cool! I got the cast a tab extensions set. I will pick up a chromecast tomorrow night and see how it works. In the meantime, I tried hooking my phone to my TV with a HDMI cable, but it had an error message that would kick me back to the main page. I am using an HDMI splitter now. PC HDMI into the splitter, 2 outputs. 1 to the TV and 1 to my PC monitor. Watching Takada vs. Koshinaka from 2/5/87 on my 65" TV!! No audio (for some reason), but my PC speakers are nearby, so I am loving it. If Chromecast can do this for me wirelessly, I will be a happy man. Dan P.S. I was able to download a match from the website, but it won't allow playback due to copy protection issues. I did see that the resolution was 1280x720, and the 51 minute video was 900Meg in size, which matches up with the WWE network's 4500kbps stream.

mookeighana Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Here were the Best Twenty of the 1990s DVDVR list matches I could find: #4 Jushin Liger vs. Naoki Sano New Japan (1/31/90 - IWGP Jr. Title) #19 Big Van Vader vs. Stan Hansen New Japan "Super Fight" (2/10/90 - IWGP Title) #17 Keiji Mutoh/Masa Chono vs. Hiroshi Hase/Kensuke Sasaki New Japan (11/1/90 - IWGP Tag Titles) #9 Keiji Mutoh vs. Masa Chono New Japan G-1 '91 (8/11/91 - Finals) #7 Great Sasuke vs. Jushin Liger New Japan Super J Cup '94 (4/16/94 - Semis) #1 Great Sasuke vs. Wild Pegasus New Japan Super J Cup '94 (4/16/94 - Finals) #16 Vader vs. Antonio Inoki New Japan (1/4/96) #15 Great Sasuke vs. Ultimo Dragon New Japan J-Crown Tourney (8/5/96 - Finals) #13 Shinya Hashimoto vs. Genichiro Tenryu New Japan G-1 '98 (8/1/98 - Quarters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van_Fair Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Reading about this in the WON, Meltz brought up how this will affect the GFW PPV and all I could do is laugh at Jeff Jarrett....he must be PISSED It definitely somewhat sucks for Jarrett, but I guess he knew beforehand that this would happen. New Japan had to have this planned for a while. With no official English version available New Japan World is still a thing reserved for the true hardcore international NJPW fans. Most of them probably already found a way around the limitations of NicoNico and would have watched that to get the full card or they would have waited for it to pop up on Dailymotion. I don't think those were the guys Jarrett was aiming at anyway and Jim Ross said as much when he said that his commentary is aimed at people new to New Japan. If that strategy is going to be a success is another question, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jushin muta liger Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I tried my media for Roku casting with no luck. So if anyone else has any luck with anything similar holler. Did you try your Roku and casting it with the Plex app? I don't NJPW World but their press conference and intro video are there for free so I can try that when I get home.

I have to try it cause I have a MacBook and the plug in might only work for Windows. I will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pol Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Surely JR is the main draw of the GFW PPV anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I think JR is more like the friendly tour guide or stamp of approval on a product that a certain audience may have been on the fence about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGinnetty Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 got the chromecast thing plugged in, and got it to recognize my phone. Still trying to get the phone to cast to the TV... Hopefully I can get this figured out before the Dome show.... Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Cooke Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Dan - you can't cast tabs in chrome to the chromecast from mobile devices. Only from laptops/desktops. Download Chrome on your regular computer, get the cast extension, and you will be all set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
