F1 2023

Qualifying recording went very well today i was happy to see 

[Fothergill1]

@CardiffMan1992 I'm watching the qualifying right now and as you say it recorded and now playing back with no problems whatsoever😀

[CardiffMan1992]

I really am pleased that Stream is becoming a more stable platform it's taken it's time but glad i hung in and waited to see how F1 worked this season before going for Virgin.

[Fothergill1]

@CardiffMan1992 Yes, it really seems to have improved this season.  I have just finished watching the Qualifying session on catchup and it was faultless from beginning to end.  Even the FF & RW seemed to be behaving 😀

[StanTheMan73]

Unable to 'record' qualifying shown on showcase, as not subscribed to Sports, not available on Catchup, also unable to watch from start, from Showcase channel, just goes to 'press to upgrade'! 

Even C4 app wouldn't let me watch, F1 said unavailable on Glass All4 app, even though I could see it on my mobile app!?! 

[ChrisC29]

I noticed that with All4 this morning. Not available on Glass but fine on mobile. Highlights on Showcase recorded for me when I wasn't subscribed. It went into the "other" section on the Formula 1 tab (not the Live:Formula 1).  

[StanTheMan73]

Managed to watch race highlights from Playlist, as was still on via watch from start. Another problem F1 on C4 adds F1 from Sky to Playlist aswell as from C4 can't seem to seperated the two channels, and F1 programmes disappear from Playlist after broadcast.

@StanTheMan73 

Live:Formula 1 playlist is for recording of live race broadcasts

You add to playlist from TV Guide SkySpF1 channel 406 before a live race broadcasts starts.

Series 2023 has all live episodes recordings so far if you added from TV Guide before Live: Practice 1  Bahrain F1 GP had started broadcasting on March 5th 2023.

So far there is  14  episodes with most recent been S2023:14 Live Chequered Flag

Once added to playlist from TV Guide it will record all future live race broadcasts

Formula 1 playlist is for recording of repeat broadcasts and highlights as in not live race broadcasts

You also make sure you add to playlist from TV Guide so it will record these repeat broadcasts

Once added to playlist from TV Guide it will record all future repeat broadcasts

Series 2023 at the moment has Saudi ArabIan race highlights as that will be replaced at some stage

Series 9 is Channel 4

Scroll to other with remote for Sky F1 Channel 2023 and other years repeat broadcasts  (It can take a few seconds to load all content)

The 2023 race repeat broadcasts they don't disappear as they are moved to other when not listed under 2023 tab

Note other will also have various years repeat broadcasts added to playlist so read description to see if a 2023 race or other years as F1 Channel does repeat broadcasts of previous years  and the recent races each week

Note the differences between Live: Formula 1 and Formula 1 they are different playlists

Formula 1 playlist it will vary as to when will be listed as available as these are not live race recordings

Summary for this weekend (for me, no active UHD sub)

Formula 1 - All sessions available within 10 minutes of the session end - more often than not still recording 5 minutes after session end so at no point was it unavailable to watch 👍.. i.e. worked as promised and expected.

Formula 2 - tl;dr; need to wait 9,5 hours after the session end to watch it.

Practice - Took somewhere between 6,5 and 9,5 hours to appear

Qualy - Took somewhere between 4,5 and 5,5 hours to appear

Sprint - Took somewhere between 5,5 and 7,5 hours to appear

Feature - Took somewhere between 7,5 and 9,5 hours to appear

(i.e. they weren't available at the first time, but were by the second) 😢

This weeks summary - Saudi Arabia Grand Prix

Formula 1 - All sessions available within 10 minutes of the session end, TV Glitched after FP3 showing an empty rectangle so needed to reboot.  WRT the FP3 weirdness - I was actually watching using "Watch from Start" for the first time this season so wonder if that contributed to the issue?

Formula 2 -

Practice - cloud recorded, was available within 3 hours of session end (the first time I checked). 

Qualifying - cloud Recorded and was available within 10 minutes of session end (was recording 2 minutes after).  Vanished overnight and has not returned.

Sprint - Still not available

Feature - Still not available.

Note, that under the seperate F2 entry (not Live: Formula 2) Qualifying, Sprint, and the Feature appeared by the following morning (but not by bedtime the previous evening) - Practice is still missing from that.

tl;dr; Formula 1 worked okay, Formula 2 took one step forward, then fell into a ravine from which it's failed to recover.

[Kevjs]

Formula 2 Bahrain - Qualy and the Races never appeared under F2 Live, Practice has now alsovanished...

Should have known we couldn't trust Sky Glass with the Australian Grand Prix - prior to this weekend it was starting to look like things had improved, with all Formula 1 sessions available with 10 minutes of them finishing, but now we get to a race where On Demand access to our recordings is even more essential than normal...

Free Practice 1 - 4,5 hours after the finish - still not available

Free Practice 2 - 1 hour after the finish - still not available

Formula 2 on the other hand:-

Practice - 5,5 hours after the finish  (Checked at 06:30, finished 00:50) was available and shows as Recorded

Qualifying - Showing as recording for 15 minutes after session ended, and now (20 mins later) shows as Recorded on Main Event.

So, bizarrly they seem to have fixed the F2 this weekend and broke the F1!

(Also, it's so bizarre we have a collection of 2021 races (held before Sky Glass launched!) still in the Formula 1 Live Entry, but only FP1 from Abu Dhabi and and FP1 and FP2 from Italy 2022 remain!)

@Kevjs 

 Australian Grand Prix

Formula 1 no issues recording this morning

Playlist

Series 2023

S2023:E15 is Live Practice 1

 

Saturday at 02.15 am is when live broadcast of Practice 3 starts that will be S2023:E17

[Pickle-Rick]

Australian practice 1 and 2 didn't record for me this morning. Also looking through the TV guide the playlist link was missing from upcoming  practice 3, qualifying and the Race, so I've had to re-add them. 

[Kevjs]

So looks like it's recorded for those with UHD but not the rest of us?

At 09:55 the latest are still Saudi.

(Correction to my previous post - the F2 Bahrain I mentioned should have course been F2 in Saudi).

[Pickle-Rick]

@Kevjs I don't have UHD so what you are saying seems plausible. 

[Tim+Adams]

I got the following,

F1 Practice 1  and 2 cloud recorded

F2 Practice cloud recorded

F3 Practice cloud recorded

F2 & F3 Qualifying failed to cloud record and from a very quick check they aren't available on demand yet.

Edit: 11am F3 qualifying showed up as recorded

Thanks,

Tim
