BigRingVR - The new leader of the pack?

Do you have to subscribe to use bigringVr with your own videos?

Lifted this off the BigRingVR FAQ section.

Do I need to have subscription to use BigRingVR for local rides I recorded myself ?
No, subscription is needed for streaming of web rides only.

So looks like there's no subscription needed

I was going to record to some local routes to practice on

Nope

Have just put up the video for Sa Batella ... but forgot what the URL is

I hope there's gonna be a series of videos available for download

Hope you enjoy video and Fit/gpx editing ... It's taken me a while to get an efficient workflow ... although for 'short routes like that a GoPro would be a suitable camera, which would eliminate a big chunk of my workflow.

For any interested my Pollensa - Sa Batella - Femenia - Pollenca Loop is available here, with the gpx track here. They are not Zip files, just remove the .zip extension once they are in your Videos folder in Big-Ring ... It may not open in the current version of BRVR but the next release which is a couple of weeks away should be fine. I've uploaded the route (split into two) to BKool so it should appear in a couple of days assuming the BKool don't reject it

Any routes would be welcome.

Kuhtaisattel from Oetz (West side) is a bit on the painful side isn't it. I think I was designed for downhills

Don't do the Lombardia climbs : whistle:

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind :-)

Can't fit much in at the moment. Septembers are a busy month at work

It will be when you do the East side Dave

Just re-read your post and my reply is totally meaningless. Apologies for that Dave, I was reading the original on a very small screen.

We don't have immediate plans to support Chromebooks. I've read that one should be able to run Linux applications on some (most?) new Chromebooks. The hardware in the premium ones should be more than enough, but I have no information about how it will work with external sensors like the ANT USB dongle. It all depends on how "sandboxed" the application is.
By the way, BigRingVR already runs on Linux. In fact, I began work on BigRingVR on a Linux system a few years ago. The port to Windows and Mac is more recent. We're not distributing a Linux version at the moment because we don't want to support another system. In time (a few months maybe?) we'll probably also release the Linux version.

Looks like BLE is supported on ChromeOS, and as you say new Chromebooks will be able to run Linux programs. Would be cool to check it out, and I really hope it will come to fruition soon.

Some of these new Chromebooks are pretty sweet machines. We'll take a look to see what is possible with them.

It seems like their is no hardware acceleration for graphics yet when running Linux applications on Chromebooks. That would be a show stopper for now.
