Some glitches from today's webcast
Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2016 9:29 am
I am watching the stream statistics and taking down some real-time notes.
* The overall health is very unstable. I've seen levels drop to as low as 16% - so far only one site has reported an interruption and that was only for a few seconds. (This never happened with the old solution, this is the first interruption I've ever had)
* One of the units is receiving the webcast without issue but the portal says they are not online. I receive frequent messages alerting me to the "missing" site.
* One of the units could not receive the stream at all - they were just getting the static image. They rebooted and tried again and got a message saying the stream was already connected, even though they had disconnected. SLC cannot reset the connection. The same user attempted to use the general webcast link and again got the message stating that the link was already in use. The solution was to have the member log in and use my "backup" receive link (I select the stake center as both broadcast and receive sites so I have an extra link for just this type of occasion).
* I'm going to have to get an A/B switch so I can inject an audio source for level testing before broadcasting.
Other than these glitches things are proceeding fairly smoothly.
