BBOTV -- How to watch multiple matches?

[jcwla]

Hi, if someone could please help me figure out how to watch multiple matches simultaneously on BBOTV I'd be most obliged.

 

I'm able to click on one match and watch it but how do I get several going? Have tried several times recently while there were multiple matches/rooms open and not figured it out.

 

Thanks.

Multiple browser windows

You can have multiple matches open by relaunching the BBOTV link several times. Watching them at the same time is a different story.

 

Unfortunately, you cannot compress each browser window to have multiple windows open at the same time (or at least I couldn't). They simply would not fit on my screen. When I tried to resize the windows, it compressed everything from Left to Right or right to left, so that at least one hand became impossible to see in the resized window.

 

You could minimize one window and open another one though, which isn't quite the same as watching more than 1 at the same time. You are only "watching" one at a time, you just have more than one window running.

I could be mistaken, but I believe that you must use anonymous login in order to have multiple viewer windows open - you cannot have multiple instances of your nick logged in. One named instance works - I was logged in via the windows client and had another anonymous bbotv instance running to kibitz both tables of the USA1/SA match.

Since the Vugraph-only BBOTV only allows anonymous logins, that's not really an issue.
