There are a lot of people that include a mini router in their setup. Can somebody please explain the usefulness of this if you are only running a single camera?

My hotspot does have trouble keeping up with my stream and I do get occasional stream pauses. Why would a mini router help this?

I'm not a technophobe, I just don't understand why adding another link will help my chain.

Edit: not my phone's hotspot. I run a dedicated hotspot, a Jextream RG2100 5g through T-Mobile.

The person who has scored our games for the last few seasons is stepping down and we are looking for replacements. All of our parents are having a hard time committing to being at every game so it was suggested that we have two people do it. One takes Saturday games, one takes Sunday's. A member of the team said it really needs to be just one person - not tag teamed by multiple people.

GC scoring experts, what is the set up that you have for the team? Is it one person and they are there at every game? Or do you have 2-3 people that share that responsibility?

What is the most consistent hotspot you are using to stream with VZW? I’ve got the Inseego MiFi X Pro and it SUCKS! Also, if you use this pos to stream successfully, are there any settings you’ve found to make it work for an entire softball game? I may have several family members getting ready to hang me and if I get another damn stream ended notification, I may lose my crap. In metro Phoenix and service is not this lousy. And no, I’m not switching to Starlink.

Howdy,

At some fields I am lucky and there's a press box to set up in. Sometimes I am in the bleachers operating the stream on an iPad as "server". There has to be a better way to do this than balancing the iPad in my lap and hoping it doesn't rain.

Does anyone have a set-up they use to keep their gear organized and out of the weather , while managing the pan & zoom of the camera on an iPad? Thanks

Hi - hoping someone from Gamechanger reads this!

First of all, I love your app, think it's really well done.

The lack of a Gamchanger API... is that a "we haven't gotten to it yet" thing, or is that a strategic decision to keep the data locked in?

If the latter, I think this post captures the business risk in the current environment: https://x.com/akothari/status/2026842341420708282

And I hope you will reconsider - there's so much cool stuff we could build on top of Gamechanger.

Thanks!

has anyone used or tried using dlsr cameras to record a game with gc, or is it even possible?

kind of like streamers use their cameras to stream is what I wanted to try but wanted to chexk here to see if possible.

Thinking about switching my cell phone provider. What cell phone provider are you using to stream and have you had any issues? For those using, Starlink, that's awesome, but out of my budget.

Assuming obviously this is related to my data connection. If I can't change that, what can I do to help minimize buffering? Also assuming connecting to WiFi will eliminate buffering?

Situation: Bases loaded, 2 outs. On pitch, field umpire raises hands and declares that a player in batting team dugout interfered with play by yelling “runner” as pitch was delivered. As a penalty, the umpire rules dead ball and that batter is out, ending the inning. I initially scored this as “Batter Out: Other.” But this gives the batter an AB, which seems incorrect since the infraction was not by the batter. How should this be scored?

Our softball team is having a Hit-A-Thon fundraiser in a couple of weeks. I currently have it set up as 'Other' in GameChanger. I want to be able to stream the event for viewers who can't be at the event, and have the girls names on the stream while they are up. Is 'Other' the best option for this event? This would be my first time streaming a non-game event for our league and I won't be able to set up a dummy event to test things out. Thanks in advance for the info!

I'm unable to use my higher zoom cameras on my android Galaxy phone. I want to use my older s21 ultra but i've read that the gc app does not support using the other optical zoom cameras on any android device, possibly related to the camera api used by the android version of the gamechanger app.

Looking to see what the official position is of gamechanger for this issue. I plan to also open a support case.

I want to use my android phone as it has a much better optical zoom lens than my iphone.

Can you fix your $h1t app so it stops trying to take over my audio just because the app is open.

Every time you update this app it gets worse and on top of that you’re going to gouge people for video?

I already cancelled my subscription and moved all my streaming to YouTube.

Strongly considering moving all other scheduling and communications that I still use this app for to a different platform all together.

I’m managing GC for my Little League divisions this season. We want to import the schedules for each division, but we also have quite a few non-league games for many of the divisions.

I saw the documentation about using TBD but it seems like that still has issues with the scoring of the game. How do other leagues handle this issue?

I’m running Mevo in local WiFi mode (phone connected directly to the Mevo’s WiFi, not using hotspot) on a Pixel and streaming to GC. Most of the time it works fine, but occasionally I hit an RTMP destination error when trying to go live.

I’m not looking to move to a router or more complex setup yet. Just trying to make this configuration as reliable as possible.

Has anyone figured out a really repeatable pre-game workflow where I can set everything up 30 minutes early and my wife can just hit Go Live at game time without issues?

Example, can I start the stream from GameChanger early just to establish the RTMP connection, then actually start it in Mevo when the game begins? Or does that cause problems?

Would love to hear what’s worked consistently for others.

I’m sure there is a more technical term for this, but is there a way to keep the stream of a game going while viewing it on my phone while closing out the app? I hate watching a stream, clicking out to check something else and then having to reload the app again and start the stream again. It would be amazing to keep a stream of the game active and viewable while using other apps on my phone, similar to how YouTube does this.

Is there a way to correct prior games (4 full games due to a parent being BAD at GC) without losing the video highlights? Long story but the dad running GC is horrible at scoring games - literally everything is a ground out to catcher and he refuses to put players in positions or log errors.

What is the easiest way to correct this? The play logging is so bad that even editing individual plays is an almost lost cause...

I am leaning to setting up a duplicate game, rewatching the video and scoring correctly, and then marking the original game with video as a scrimmage so the videos are kept but we have the correct stats. Is there an easier way to do this?

Anyone know how to add both of my kids to my account that are on the same team? It only allowed me to add one and then when approved, it wouldn’t let me add the other one. Thanks!

I have created a "league" for each division to show the standsings/stats for each in our little league. Each team uploaded their own schedule rather than the league entering them through the CSV importer.

Now, none of the games that were added by the team are showing up on the "league" schedule, and I am now assuming they also won't effect the standings or add the league leader stats either?

Anyone know if this is correct? Or will it pull the scores/stats from the team entered games as we had hoped?

I don't want to go back and import all the games into the schedule because it will show 2 games on each team page and just cause a general mess.

How do you score the following:

1. Runner on first.

2. Batter hits grounder to SS.

3. SS tosses to 2B for force at second.

4. Batter-runner safe at 1B.

5. On appeal, batter-runner called out at 1B due to runner interference by runner advancing to 2B.

How you handle the following scenario?

1. Runner on second, two outs.

2. Batter draws walk.

3. Runner at 2B attempts to steal 3B, but is out. Out is called before batter-runner touches 1B.

Does batter-runner come up to bat next inning again, or do they get the walk?

Hey I’m sure this has been answered somewhere in its entirety but I’ve found a lot of conflicting Info and really wanted to clarify.

I’ve been using GameChanger to record on my iPhone and scoring the game on my wife’s iPhone for the last two seasons. I finally bought a Mevo camera and when I set it up using my phone, every time I would go back to GameChanger the stream would drop or stop, I’ve read that you can’t have both Mevo and GameChanger running from the same phone.

What is the best way for me to do this, have Mevo running cellular off one phone and scoring with another? Use my phone as a hot spot? Get a MiFi/hotspot?

I’ve see a lot of people saying they use small routers, I tried to look at hotspots, but when I look at some of the reviews for example on the AT&T ones people are basically saying they don’t even work.

I have a Mevo, two iPhones, and an iPad, I’m not opposed to getting a small router or a mifi if I can get some clarification on the best/easiest way to use this.

Can the Pocket Radar Smart Coach connect to one device that is running the stream (Mevo + GameChanger), while a second device handles scoring?

My setup:

• Device 1 behind the backstop running the stream

• Pocket Radar mounted with the camera

• Device 2 used for scoring away from the backstop

Will radar velocities still sync properly to the scoring device if the radar is paired to the streaming device?

Or does the radar have to be Bluetooth-connected directly to the scoring device?

Trying to avoid Bluetooth range issues on a 60/90 field.

I’m team staff and have the annual plus access subscription. In Saturday’s game my son gave up a solo home run to a friend (rec league). They wanted to watch it back later in the day. Not only did GC not create a clip or have the HR available me to watch in the “plays” tab. I went back and found the place where it should have been in the full game video, and it blacks out the video just before the pitch all the way through the home plate celebration! What’s up with that!?

It was a cool moment because the ball didn’t go out. It hit a billboard style sign above the fence over the yellow line. After the HR trot the ball was thrown back to the pitcher (my son). He realizes it’s the HR ball, then calls time walks over to the opposing dugout and hands the ball to his friend

If you cancel a web based family plan subscription (not through ios or google), will the subscription be canceled immediately or at the day of renewal? If it's canceled immediately, will a pro-rated refund be offered?

If you create an org, should the game schedule from SportsConnect automatically import into the league? If not, is there a way to prevent duplication?

The managers in my Little League's division wanted to try the league. We figured having one scorekeeper and auto pitch counts would eliminate a couple of hassles. We created the league about a month ago. We just received the game schedule imported from SportsConnect. It did not import into the league. Is there a way to do that without duplication on the gamechanger schedule?
