The snow doesn't look like anything substantial? Doesn't seem cold enough as well?

Fingers crossed.

Why not webm, anon?

>>14433724
I still can't into webm from a stream.

>>14433729

Use FFMPEG

After setup, use commands:

>to stream

ffplay -i mmsh://center3.ntt-fukushima.com/n-jraizu

>to record as webm for 4chan posts

ffmpeg -i mmsh://center3.ntt-fukushima.com/n-jraizu -an -y -b:v 700k n-jraizu.webm

>record as video with sound

ffmpeg -i mmsh://center3.ntt-fukushima.com/n-jraizu -acodec copy -vcodec copy n-jraizu.mkv

>>create timelapse webm (I haven't tried this before myself)

ffmpeg -i input.avi -y -filter:v "setpts=0.00390625*PTS" -b:v 700k -r 30 output.webm". (256*0.00390625 = 1)

>>14433768
Tried uploading a test webm.
"Error: Bad video stream. Only VP8 is supported."
Also, assuming that 700k means it's supposed to stop at 700kB filesize? It went past that and I had to close out of the window. I've not really done much when it comes to command line stuff.

>>14433829
No, 700k means kb per second.

Did you press Q to stop recording when you decided to end?

I haven't really done much either.

>>14433858
>q to stop
I didn't see that before, whoops. Though the same error happened again. For some reason I guess it's not outputting VP8? Is there additional stuff I have to install for ffmpeg?

>>14433869
Yeah this is a bit beyond me as well.

But quick google indicates that you have to compile ffmpeg with libvpx support as it can encode VP8.

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VP8

>>14433896
I'll read up on it and try to figure it out. Thanks for the help!

>>14433948

Let us know how you go later on!

>testing outputting a webm and converting with webm for retards

Heh I'm glad it works now, but it seems like a painful unnecessary step to have to do this.

Probably read up on the above link sometime, hopefully it will solve the problem and you won't have to do this extra step. Helps in the long run.

Also this is probably my OCD, but kindly consider putting the datestamp as the filename (you may have noticed thats what I've been doing above} also helps when looking through old pics and vids.

>>14434021
As I said, I'll definitely read up and try to find out how to get it working without the additional process. And you're right about timestamping files. I'll probably do that for the rest of them.

Still no snow.

It's snowing in my country. What's Japan's excuse?

Is there similar steams that I can watch in VLC/WMP with like a .asx etc ?

>>14437654
Weatheranon lied to us. ;-;

>>14437773
I'd like to check out some others as well.

>>14437786
>Weatheranon lied to us. ;-;

implying it's easy

>>14437885

more than half of the websites are predicting rain instead of snow

this other one is predicting both:

http://www.weather-forecast.com/locations/Aizuwakamatsu/forecasts/latest

>>14437867
I might have lied, these may have been added recently because they weren't in that list.

mms://center.ntt-fukushima.com/n-tomioka?MSWMExt=.asf

If the "mms://" prefix doesn't work try replacing it with "http://".

>>14437957
>>14437867

Even the new ones don't have sound it seems.

And they seem to be low quality as well.

Dam shame.

Found this (slightly old) Japanese site dedicated to streaming with train cams as a point of focus.

http://www2.tbb.t-com.ne.jp/thaidance/image/wakamatsu2.jpg

Apparently you can stream AizuWakamatsu Eki on mobile as well using the mms links.

Go figure.

Hey Guys

No, it warmed up a bit and now is more of a sleet/ light drizzle. In the coming days it will hopefully stay cold enough to keep snowing.

Snowing right now

This.

>>14441350
Thanks. I should change it but I usually just record with a .bat file I made and never bothered to fix it.

>>14441406
Yeah you're right though because its "just" an upscaled resolution even though I really like it.

Also really really like the sound, sound of the comfy rain.

Why doesn't moot / hiroyuki fucking implement webms with sound on all boards now?

>>14441433
Yeah, implementing webms with sound across all boards seems like an obvious upgrade.

>>14441635
That middle station strangely looks like Aizuwakamatsu. I know Mikakunin is set in Fukushima Prefecture, but still.

>>14441433
>>14441635
I think at least Moot saw it as a better alternative to gifs. From that perspective it makes sense to only allow sound on some boards.
I personally don't mind either way. Just uploading it somewhere else and posting link like in >>14439257 works just fine for me.

>>14441654
>Just uploading it somewhere else and posting link like in >>14439257 works just fine for me.

For me its just not the same.

>>14441641
it is.

yeah it works for the mean time. But, i can't help but think that we will look back and wonder why webms with sound was such a big issue. >>14439739

Do you have to buy specifictickets for it?

Wish the camera was closer to the actual railsides, can barely see who's getting on the train or the people cruising around.

The snow is really taking its time to settle down.

So snow on Thursday 17 December 2015?

Can weatheranon or someone confirm?

Looking back at last year's thread, snow started to accumulate from 13 December 2014.

Where in God's name is the snow?

>>14460687
>Do you have to buy specifictickets for it?
You have to buy one more ticket for seat reservation, but it's not expensive.

>>14477854
What do you mean?

Hello /jp/! I will be at the station in about 10 minutes. I'll post some photos.

>>14480513
Which train? Remember to do a shout-out at the camera.

>>14480533
I came in on the aizu railway. The tracks you don't see from the camera

Nowhere near cold enough for snow, but just cold enough for a coat.

Station has been consistently streamed for like 10 years, snow is comfy.

>>14484244

I first caught this around late 2007 / early 2008 and only really started following it in 2009 / 2010 hardcore.

>>14485896

Is there snow anywhere else in Japan?

Hi, are you guys only talking about a specific station here?

If not, mind if I ask if anyone have an idea about how to reach this from Tokyo:
http://shirakawa-go.org/en/access/46/

Planning to go there sometimes next two weeks.

>>14486379
Any train streams are welcome, other streams too if they're related.

Hello again /jp/, Anon that went the other day here again. My phone died on me shortly after I arrived and I only realized then that I forgot my charging brick. I will post the rest of the photos from my brief visit.

Aizu Railway train. Came in from the south rather than on JR. I recommend taking this way, it's very mountainous and there are may hot spring villages on the way.

View looking south towards the majority of town.

Looking south, same spot on the walkway as the last photo.

Service tracks to the west of the station.

Park in front of the station.

A few steps from the park picture, Looking at the station.

Same spot as last, looking into town where the large hotels are.

Cafe next to the station.

The front of the station, from under the covered area. Long line of coin lockers here.

Some from inside the station.

And finally, just before getting on board.

I'm an American living in Tokyo for a few months as a break from school.

Japan is a frequent visit but I have done some other train trips worldwide.

Currently in a language school. Learning even a little bit of Japanese has really made this place more easy and fun.

This was my second time to Aizu. I'm going to wait for snow to go again. It can be hard to take it easy in Tokyo so I like to make these trips into the countryside.

>>14487139
>but I have done some other train trips worldwide.

Sweet it sounds like you're a bit of a train fan / otaku.

No snow, I guess. I at least hope for there to be snow in during New Year or mabe in January.

Sometimes when recording webm files, I get an error around the 30 second mark that basically ruins the file. Other times it seems to work fine until I stop it. Any ideas of what might cause that?

This is comfy. Is anyone else drinking hot chocolate, watching the train station?

How nice. I've been waiting the entire year for this.

I'm new, but this is the most comfy thing I've ever watched.

whats so special about this train station....

Blue sky shows a bit.

Snow accumulation is off and on.

How much more snow on the way?

>>14542954
There is weather, and trains, and commuters.

Once, there was a steam engine. That was neat.

>>14542960
I think the steam engine is a weekly thing. I've seen it Saturdays at either 11 or 12, Japan time. Though it may be seasonal.

This mix of snow and dirt on the tracks is really pretty.

>comfy

Indeed.

And doing research on the trains on your first viewing.

You'll fit right in, if you decide to stay.

>>14548627

Saved.

Though my cynical self is saying that looks way too beautiful to be real. ;_;

>>14548903

one third of Japan will enjoy snow at midnight

>>14550492
Sweet thanks.

How much snow?

It's almost 2016.

>>14551200
Oh all the snow is gone already.

Sad.

This time last year.

>>14552196
Can you not read the OP?

>>14552203
>Aizu Wakamatsu train station thread. Snow starts in the next few days.

what's there to understand? are you guys just watching a train station? not judging, just trying to understand to see if it's fun and join.

>>14552196
Just a congregation of people watching a remarkably comfy stream.

>>14552217
That has audio.

I never ventured into these theads before but ngl this is a comfy as fuck stream

Unless my clock is wrong, the year just changed in Japan.
A happy new year to everyone over there.

>>14446326
How come anon?

>>14553017
Station looks so dead.

>>14553170
Because it's 1AM in Japan.

>>14553187
What time does the station open again?

Fuck New Year, 2016 will be much worse

>>14553170
You are dead.

>>14553244
Almost

>>14553246
This is sad ;_;

>>14553246
hang in there anon

>>14553246
Everything will be fine

Just want to say Happy New Year everyone.

Thank you for always being here.

And to the new friends, hope you've found this comfy as we all have and continue to stay.

Seems it begin to snow now(or rain and snow mixed?).

>>14552188
Sad.

>>14547725
You will never comfort a cute girl in the wake of a natural disaster.

>>14553587
You too, Anon. I'm glad other people here also enjoy the train station as much as I do.

Happy New Year Trainbros.

>>14553587
I just found this thread yesterday, but Im sure that I will stay here for a long time, this is really comfy

Happy New Year, guys

Does she actually love trains that much?

>>14555617
It would appear so

>You will never comfort a cute girl in the wake of a natural disaster.

don't even try to beat me:

>on the Tadami Line waiting for the royal train
>train derails
>jump in the fire to save princess Kako
>visit her every day at the hospital
>she is the only survivor or the royal family
>she falls in love with me and makes me the first gaijin Emperor of Japan

>>14557286
>Train candies
I want those.

Am i autistic for enjoying this? ;~;

>>14559369
Why worry about the implications of enjoying something (and in particular something as harmless as this)?

If you enjoy it, enjoy it.

Guilt / worry is a wasted emotion.

>>14559522
Being autistic is a very bad thing anon.

>>14559524

Only if you let it affect you negatively.

>>14559369
Autists are a very vocal minority. You can be normal and like trains.

Besides Japanese trains are, in my opinion, the only trains that are modern and still have that romantic aspect to them that all trains used to have. Enjoy the trains anon, and don't worry about what other people think.

You've stolen my heart anon

>>14559595
Thank you anon~

>>14559369
Watching this stream is much like looking out a window or staring at a fireplace. It has a calming effect. It allows you to slow down and just be the watching presences.
At first it just seems so odd and strange. But if you keep coming back to it eventually you get it. And you stay all year round.
I like to watch the clouds in summer, the snow pile up in winter, the people, the unique trains and most of all come here to this thread and talk about it with all of you.
Sometimes i like to subtly mix in this when it snows: https://lullatone.bandcamp.com/album/while-winter-whispers-ep

>it will snow

>>14559857
I wish train stations in the US were this calming
But I'm from NYC, and that's the furthest from it.

>>14559878

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Aizuwakamatsu Station is a relatively rural station.

Furthermore, the camera view is literally on the end of a train line so the trains only come and go in one direction.

>>14559595
>romantic aspect

How exactly would you describe the romantic side of trains?

>>14559910

>>14559369
worrying about enjoying things is a sign of autism

>>14560472
What about worrying about worrying?

>>14559857
I agree. I especially find comfort in watching people on the move in different weather conditions when I don't have to be anywhere. Not NEET so the feeling is even more special

>>14560478
worrying about things that can't be helped is problematic. I learn to take some things in life as givens. If you question the origin of every variable in a complicated equation you will never reach a solution

Do trains usually stay 20 minutes at the station?

>>14560650

>>14419351

>>14433768
When's the C57 normally run?

>>14560970
Weekends and public holidays I believe, with the times based on seasonal demands.

Did no one else see the woman pick up the cat? That was cute.

>>14561551
Screen cap where?

>>14561551
>>14561628

I know right. See something cool capture it and share. We (unfortunately) don't watch the stream 24/7.

A bit off topic but does anyone here collect Plarail Advance? Seems like a nice way to get some Japanese trains for cheap. I was thinking about getting an entry set and then collecting some of the trains that frequent Aizu Wakamatsu and later on going for the Shinkansens.

Here's a Plarail video.

Got some triple track action going on here.

>>14565234
Kinky and Lewd

Opened it up to have a heap of people waiting for a train. It showed up.

Then another train shows up! I-I need to lie down i can't handle all the excitement.

>>14565704
I know right?
Now there's half an hour for other trains to come...
Has a train ever derailed there or something?

>>14565738
>Has a train ever derailed there or something?
JR has a great record of safety so it's highly unlikely.

Sometimes they do fuckup though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uylvUa_Dmf8

>>14565786
What happened there exactly? And those 2 guys trying to pull the train back.

Will it snow again? I remember the past years snowing around January, I hope snows again

I've been a little away, but watching the stream since 2010 does bring nostalgia and thanks to /jp/ stream threads I was able to enjoy my time relaxing. I miss those threads a lot, many places to see, specially a restaurant where you could see costumers eating their udon ramen bowl while talking with the chef as he cooks for more people
Good times

>>14566175
That restaurant sounds interesting. It would be good if anyone had the link... I remember watching a stream like that some time ago...

>>14566197
>>14566175

This one?

Speaking of streams, what other streams do you guys follow?

Heres some of mine:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAKHunNR-WQ

>>14566197
If I remember correctly the link died kinda some time after, or probably they were able to fix. It was a very small nice place, I remember one time some costumer asking why there was a camera and then waving to it (I wish I could find that link again)
Some other nice place was in a temple where you could see mikos during the day, it was heart warming.

>>14566239
I think it was actually linked to some jp source, unless they changed the host recently. With moe dead I can't search for old archive threads, because they were always there. Some anon would always put some of the streams including Aizu JR where I started following it
