About

Liam is an active member of YSTV, primarily the computing team, since 2021. In the first few days of joining, he fixed the transmission light which had not been working properly/at all since who knows when. Will Stirk then referred to his as the "Arduino guy" for his use of an Arduino in the transmission light.

In November 2021, Liam was elected as the Deputy Computing Director after only joining the month before.

Not long after getting admin privileges on the YSTV servers, Liam started breaking anything that wasn't bullet proof, web server (multiple times including managing to delete Nginx) and moss server (rebooted and failed to restart docker).

Year 1 (2021-2022)

# Show Position Description
Autumn Term
1 Women's Football: York vs Sheffield (21/10/2021) Livestream Distribution (Shadowing) Running around getting the router working.
2 Men's Football: York vs Huddersfield (21/10/2021) Livestream Distribution (Shadowing) Not doing much as everything was done earlier that day for the women's football.
3 American Football: York Centurions vs Northumbria Mustangs (21/11/2021) Livestream Distribution Livestream was working, basically none of the cameras were working, massive disaster.
4 Boxing Fight Night 2021 (27/11/2021) Livestream Distribution Minus the fact that the stream kept cutting after VT switching, it was successful.
5 YSTV Christmas Variety Show 2021 (3/12/2021) Livestream Technician I did basically nothing so it was just a nice chilled event, bit rate was low but the ATEM had been "Millinged".
Spring Term
6 Yindoors 2022 (15/01/2022) Livestream Distribution This was a rather exciting stream as we had frisbees thrown at us and almost hit us, I had to go on the cameras because it was a long day, I had a lot of fun. Stream only went down once so it was overall successful.
7 UYDS 22 Comp (29/01/2022) Livestream Distribution The stream was a complete failure, the linking of the ATEM Mini's caused there to be a delay with the camera feeds, the transcoders kept crashing and strm7 was a big problem because it's so underpowered.
