Video Playback

Can I watch LiveBarn on my TV?

Yes. The best way to watch LiveBarn on your TV is through our Apple TV app available on the 4K version of Apple TV. You can also connect an HDMI cable from your computer. Using the built-in browser on most TVs is not supported by our systems, nor is streaming through gaming consoles, FireStick or Roku. Certain TVs support mirroring from an iOS device, but this may not function for all devices.

I'm trying to watch Live but the venue is listed as 'No Action.'

Our cameras will begin Live streaming once they detect sufficient activity. Typically, this requires 2-3 people to be active on the surface.

I'm trying to watch Live but the venue is listed as 'Initializing.'

'Initializing' means our cameras have detected sufficient activity on the surface and the Live stream will begin shortly. The Live stream takes 2-5 minutes to appear once initializing has begun.

I'm trying to watch Live but the venue is listed as having 'Technical Difficulties.'

We may be experiencing difficulty with the internet connection, a power outage, a camera in need of adjustment or another technical issue. Our team is likely aware and working to fix the issue to have it online again as soon as possible. We are unable to provide an ETA for when service will be restored. Stay tuned!

What is a 'Private' session?

‘Private’ sessions are set by the venues, not LiveBarn, and require a special PIN code to access. They can be set on Live and On-Demand video. ‘Private’ sessions are typically for events that the venue does not want to make available to the public, such as public skating, tryouts, certain practices, etc. A ‘Private’ session may also be implemented if the venue is unable to broadcast an event due to league restrictions or events that LiveBarn does not have exclusive rights to. Our Support Team is unable to lift these restrictions and does not have access to PIN codes.

What is a 'Blackout' session?

‘Blackout’ sessions are set by venues, not LiveBarn, and restrict the video completely, meaning the cameras do not broadcast or record. 'Blackout' sessions can be set on Live and On-Demand video. ‘Blackout’ sessions are typically set for events that the venue does not want to be made available. These sessions may also be implemented if they are not able to broadcast due to league restrictions or events that LiveBarn does not have exclusive rights to. Our Support Team is unable to lift these restrictions.

How do I switch between the PANO and AUTO streams while watching Live or On-Demand?

On PC and Mac, the PANO and AUTO options are available on the bottom left side of the video player. On the iOS and Android apps, they are available in the upper right corner of the video player. On the tvOS app, swipe down on your Apple TV remote touchpad to display the menu, then swipe between the mode you want to watch.

Currently, the PANO stream is available during the weekdays and AUTO is available on the weekends. Some exceptions apply.

How do I zoom while watching the PANO stream?

When using Google Chrome or Firefox on PC and Safari on Mac, click the (+) and (–) icons at the bottom right side of the video player under the LiveBarn logo.

Using the iOS and Android apps, pinch or spread your fingers on the screen to zoom out or in.

You can also pan the camera by clicking and dragging your mouse or finger on the video player.

Why is my Live video pixelated?

We broadcast in high definition, but pixelation can happen for a variety of reasons. You may not have a sufficient Wi-Fi or cellular connection to support the quality of the video. There could also be a fluctuation in the internet connection at the venue. If you encounter pixelation during a Live feed, please reach out to our Support Team so we can investigate. Unfortunately, if you are experiencing pixelation during the On-Demand video, we are not able to restore the damaged recording.

I'm trying to watch Live or On-Demand and there's no video. What can I do?

If you’re having trouble with the video, please try the following troubleshooting steps: Ensure you meet the minimum requirements for LiveBarn content streaming. Verify that you have a sufficient internet or cellular connection. Disconnect from any free public Wi-Fi or office network and disable any pop-up or ad-block extensions. Reboot your modem, router, app or device.

If you still have issues after following these steps, please reach out to our Support Team.

Why is there no audio?

Some venues mute their microphones at the request of the owners. LiveBarn cannot unmute them. When this occurs, the venues will have a banner at the top of the video player during Live and On-Demand indicating the muted status. You may also encounter a muted venue when the microphone is broken and in need of replacement.

Live Tagging

What is Live Tagging?

Live Tagging allows parents and coaches to quickly capture highlights while watching an event live in a venue using the LiveBarn iOS or Android mobile apps. Users can tag and name plays throughout the course of an event (up to 25 clips per event). At the end of the event, these plays are automatically emailed to the account holder and any contacts or groups selected when the event was created. The tags are sent as links to a condensed highlight reel of all tagged plays and as individually named clips. Please note that links will expire after seven days.

How do I use Live Tagging?

Please visit our 'Live Tagging' page for how-to videos and more information regarding this feature. 

Does Live Tagging work on iOS and Android?

Yes, the tagging feature is available on our iOS and Android app.

What happens when I tap the Tag button?

When you click the Tag button, LiveBarn captures the previous 30 seconds and the following 10 seconds. Each clip will be approximately 40 seconds long. Once you click the Tag button, you will be able to name the clip. You can also save it without a name. In both cases, you can edit the name and/or delete the tag entirely. You can tag up to 25 clips per event.

What if I miss a play I wanted to tag?

Find your play on VOD and download the 30-second clip to any device. Premium account holders can download 30-minute video segments.

What if I tag the wrong play?

Before an event is marked complete, you can delete the tag by swiping left and tapping 'Remove.'

How many plays can I tag per event?

You can tag 25 plays per event. If you need more tags, you will need to create a second event session.

Can I tag plays in both PANO and AUTO (Tracked) viewing modes?

Yes, you can tag in both viewing modes. Prior to your first tag, use the toggle at the top of the tagging screen to select between 'Tracking' and 'Pano' and modes. Once selected, all plays will be captured in the selected mode. You cannot switch modes once you have tagged a play.

Can I tag an event that has already started?

Yes, you can tag any event that has a start time prior to the current time as long as the event is created with the required fields and the surface is available for viewing.

Can I tag plays after the game has finished?

No, Live Tagging is only available in real-time while you are at the venue. If you want to save or share plays from a game that has finished, use the 30-second or 30-minute download features available on VOD.

Can I tag plays from my computer or phone while watching at LiveBarn.com if I'm not at the venue?

No, Live Tagging is only available in real time from the venue. If you want to save or share plays from a game that has finished, use the 30-second or 30-minute download features available on VOD.

When and how will I receive my tagged play clips?

Tagged plays are sent automatically to all contacts and groups identified in the event. They are typically sent 30 minutes after the event has ended. If an event is not ended by the user, the event will automatically end two hours after the start time.

What happens if I do not receive the email and it's been more than 2.5 hours since the end of the event?

Check with contacts and members of the group that may have been included in the event to verify whether they received an email from LiveBarn. You can access the full Live Tagging dashboard from the 'Live Tagging' page once you are signed into your account. From here, resend the email with the tags. If you still do not receive an email with your tagged plays, please contact us and we will provide further assistance.

What is the difference between the Highlight Reel and Individual Tags?

The Highlight Reel (the first video in the email you receive) is a sequential compilation of all tags in one video clip. Individual tags are a list of each named clip.

How long will I have access to Live Tagging plays?

Links to tagged plays received via email are active for seven days. After seven days, the links will no longer be available for download. Please save tagged plays you wish to save before the links expire. 

Why are my clips sent via email instead of saved to the App or website?

In the current version of Live Tagging, all tagged plays will be sent via email. We hope to have clips of your tagged plays saved within your user profile in future versions of Live Tagging.

Can I send my tagged plays to friends, family, team members or coaches?

Yes. When creating an event, select your contacts/groups. All plays you tag will be sent to the contacts/groups you select when you create the event. The email will also be sent to the account holder and can be forwarded to anyone.

Anyone with access to the email links can view, download, and save the video clips.

Can I save tagged plays to my phone?

Yes, tagged plays can be saved to a phone, tablet, laptop or desktop device. On an iOS or Android device, tagged plays are saved to Files in a Download folder. Once they are saved to Files, you can share them as you would a media file or save the videos so they appear in your photos.

Player Analysis

How does Sportlogiq Player Analysis technology work?

Sportlogiq utilizes cutting-edge computer vision and machine learning technology to analyze sports video and collect key metrics, enabling elite-level teams to make better, faster, and more informed decisions.

Is Player Analysis available for all sports?

At this time, Player Analysis is only available for ice hockey.

What metrics/analytics are measured?

Sportlogiq and LiveBarn are pleased to offer the following performance-based and physical metrics to subscribers: time on ice breakdown by zone; player and team ice position heat maps.

How do I interpret the heat maps?

Dark red areas represent areas where the player was tracked most frequently during the game. Blue represents the fewest instances. This representation should provide an insight into how well a player was able to execute the game plan. Darker colors at the offensive zone blue line indicate success for defense players, while darker colors in front of the opponents’ goal indicate high pressure for forwards who are expected to crash the net.

How can I ensure my player is tracked?

Player identification is based on the visibility of jersey numbers. The most accurate results are produced when team jersey numbers are clearly distinguishable and the player’s jersey is untucked, showing the entire number without hair or other elements obstructing the number.

Are goaltending metrics available?

Unfortunately, the current product does not target goalies. However, we have plans to introduce new features in the future which will offer video and analytics that are specifically focused on goalies. Stay tuned!

Why is the Player Analysis button not appearing?

The absence of the Player Analysis button could be due to a number of factors: the surface is not a hockey surface, PANO mode is not available during game or game segment or the surface camera is not calibrated.

Why is the Player Analysis button grayed out?

Player Analysis is only available while viewing the PANO stream. Check the bottom left corner of the media player to make sure PANO mode is selected. It is also possible that a camera at the facility has not been calibrated to accommodate the Player Analysis feature.

How do I switch between PANO and AUTO streams?

On your web browser, the PANO and AUTO options are available on the bottom left side of the video player. PANO stream is typically only available during the weekdays, while AUTO becomes available on weekends. Some exceptions apply.

What happens if the PANO stream is not available?

If the PANO stream is not available then Player Analysis will also be unavailable.

Can I order Player Analysis on any device?

To order Player Analysis, log in at livebarn.com from your web browser. This feature is not available on our mobile or TV apps.

Is there a limit to the length of the game I can submit?

The video submitted cannot exceed three hours. If the interval between the selected game start and game end exceeds three hours, you will be prompted to adjust your selection.

Can I submit portions of a game?

Full games are needed to conduct a Player Analysis. Submitting an incomplete game is likely to impact the relevance and accuracy of the analysis metrics.

Are overtime and shootouts included?

The Player Spotlight Video and Performance Report will include shifts from overtime periods as long as they are part of the game segments submitted. Shootouts will not be included at this time. We plan to include shootout footage in the future!

When can I expect my Player Analysis?

Your Spotlight Video and Performance Report will be delivered via email within 12 hours. You can track your order by going to Player Analysis and My Orders.

How do I track my order?

You can track and view the details of your order by going to Player Analysis then My Orders.

How will I receive my Player Analysis?

Once your order is ready, you will receive an email with links to download your Spotlight Video and Player Performance Report. You can also download your video and report by going to Player Analysis then My Orders.

Why didn't my game process?

If your game did not process, it may be due to one or more of the following: poor video quality or missing footage, incompatible netting, non-standard rink size, player not found, incorrect or duplicate jersey number, jersey number not visible, jersey number exceeds two-digit format or begins with a zero, team jerseys are not consistent or other unspecified errors.

What happens if my Player Analysis order cannot be processed?

If the video cannot be analyzed or the player cannot be correctly identified, an automatic refund will be issued. If your order cannot be processed, please contact support@livebarn.com to learn about refund opportunities.
