Updated: New meeting hd stream servers

So, I underestimated the popularity of the NANOG 45 meeting. <g>

We've moved the streams to a SJC and NYC reflector pair.

I'm too cheap to implement GSLB or bothering coordinating anycast, so
you'll need to self-direct your choice of which POP you'll watch from.

HD-lite streams:

http://nanog-east.owhost.net:8000

http://nanog-west.owhost.net:8000

Full-HD streams:

http://nanog-east.owhost.net:9000

http://nanog-west.owhost.net:9000

Of course, you'll need a player that supports mpeg TS's and h.264.
Videolan VLC or Mplayer work, others, not so much.

Best,

The HD-lite streams have no sound.

I was just typing that up. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

the nanog-east stream video and audio are fine for me, in AS 9327.

Of course, I'd recommend everyone use the most recent vlc, 0.9.8a,
before debugging more.

Send me a direct email with output from "debug messages" and let me
know what details show in the "stream information" gui dialog.

One short update.

The "full Hd" transcoded streams will be (i.e. :9000) offline for the
remainder of the NANOG meeting. The encoder system we were using to
provide both the full and hf-lite streams is offline (system trouble).
We've switched to a backup system, but it can only provide enough
resources for the hd-lite stream.

We've also determined there is a VLC bug that prevents mpeg4 audio
re-packetization from correctly determining the number of audio
channels, thus causing several users with several playback clients
from hearing the audio program. The audio codec has been switched to
mpeg2 audio, as this avoids the packetizer bug. Hopefully this is
fixed.

Enjoy,
