Video and the AW

[birddog114]

no sound!

[birddog114]

Got music now!

[Nnnnsic]

Got music now!

I plugged my mic port directly into my Z-680's headphone output... I need to find a double jack pronto!

I wanted to test it out. Lol.

[PlatinumWeaver]

So what you're really saying is she wants to make sure you don't go nuts with the lens lust, right?

She's no help.. bloody supportive women.. would be a lot cheaper with a nag I'll tell ya..

She doesn't even want my lens money for shoes!!

[PlatinumWeaver]

With pixels like that, this looks like Doom!

{edit} I heard a cough {/edit}

[Nnnnsic]

With pixels like that, this looks like Doom!

I'm working on it!

This whole quality ratio algorithm stuff requires mathematics... did I mention I was trained as an artist?!

[PlatinumWeaver]

I think you have the basics of how this works as well
We need a live chat so we can make fun of it..

[Nnnnsic]

We have the script for that and we should be getting it into place later on tonight.

I need to code the page that'll integrate everything in one nice place for everyone...

[PlatinumWeaver]

The picture went good for a while!

[gstark]

Okie dokie... if you tune in today and tonight, you'll be treated to my ugly mug for most of the night and then later on we'll try going mobile and you might be treated to some odd walkabout we might try, to see how this will work from the unwired connection.

Can I get a show of people who won't be attending the AW who are interested in using this technology and watching / listening to the event via this means?

Will we try it out as testing at tomorrow night?

We have enough logistical issues just getting to the restaurant at a reasonable time tomorrow evening, let alone grabbing the hardware and setting up, so, sadly, no.

Leigh an I will be doing some unwired testing this evening though, and we'll know tonight whenther we're running or not.

[gstark]

The picture went good for a while!

Must have been me.

[gstark]

I need to find a double jack pronto!

Ask and ye shall receive.

[PlatinumWeaver]

 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[cyanide]

Unfortunately I still can't get it. I realise it's a problem at my end.

Not you, Nnnnsic, as I know you have your hands full, but anyone else:

- what comes up when you click that link?
- what program is it using to show you stream (eg Windows media player or similar?)
- if anyone else had to change their Norton settings in order to access the stream, pls let me know what you did....

I regularly access other streams on the net, so dunno why this one isn't working... hmpf.

[PlatinumWeaver]

When you click the link a little Flash application appears -in- the webpage.

It looks like:



then looks like:

[embi]

Its alive...

[Nnnnsic]

144 x 108 seems okay.

And pixelated... yeah... well with our 512 upload, we have to make as many sacrifices as we can so I'm working on sacrificing pixelation issues for size.

Audio seems like it might be okay. We'll be testing that too later tonight.

[cyanide]

Many thanks, Dean. I don't get that - I get stuck at a white screen.

I will keep trying... Cheers.

[PlatinumWeaver]

What OS?
What browser?
What's your connection speed?

[cyanide]

Windows XP / using IE6 atm (have also tried with Firefox) / broadband cable connection.....

[Aussie Dave]

Windows XP / using IE6 atm (have also tried with Firefox) / broadband cable connection.....

me too....
XP (SP2)/IE6...& just downloaded/installed Flash Player 7 (and rebooted)

[PlatinumWeaver]

hmm.. go to macromedia and grab the latest version of the flash plugin?
Flush cache?

[embi]

Windows XP using Firefox / broadband cable connection.....

I am using that combo and I get it fine...and I'm behind 2 firewalls

[cyanide]

It's definitely a Norton problem - if I disable the firewall long enough to connect, it works.... not a great option but better than not being able to connect at all....

Shall keep looking.... there's obviously a setting somewhere that I have to change...

Cheers

Edit: will also try latest version of Flash Player 7, just in case that helps... thanks for the suggestions, peoples....

[Nnnnsic]

We had a problem a minute ago.

I'm not entirely sure what it is. Working on it.

I'll do the dishes after this bug, Dad.

[PlatinumWeaver]

What's the firewall?
Does flash need UPnP?

Leigh - Audio seems out.. wasn't before..

[embi]

I have a problem now...theres a scary looking man on my screen

exactly, what did you do Cyanide ?? I've turned Nortons off & Win XP Firewall and I still just get the white screen....????

[embi]

I have audio

[PlatinumWeaver]

THATS GOOD!

[cyanide]

Aussie Dave - I just went into Norton Internet Security, clicked on Personal Firewall > Off... then refreshed (the stream link), and it connected. Then I turned the firewall back on, and it stayed connected (it seems to have stopped while I was typing this but I think that is something to do with Nnnnsic's current tests...)

[Nnnnsic]

We're in full testing tonight.

White screen, eh?

Okie dokie... I'll check Flash Comm's server to see if there are any back doors you can use or other settings...

But we've got the DV cam's working.

[Nnnnsic]

I haven't yet put in the "refresh" button at the bottom of the page.

There is already a "force refresh" active at 2 minutes viewing of the page.

However, you will need to refresh if the image stops. I'm not entirely sure what's going on and I'll try to chase up that bug tomorrow.

Stop flashing us....









With your torch

[sheepie]

I see Gary's lips moving but he ain't making any noise.

hehe - all sorts of things could be said here

[Rusty W. Griswald]

I see Shane Warne bowling...

/oops wrong screen

[Nnnnsic]

Dad hasn't got a mic.

I'm about to switch him over to one of the older DV cam's. You will notice a quality issue.

White screen people: try a force refresh. Ctrl+F5 should do the trick in Firefox or Mozilla-based browsers.

I have known Flash to not load as a result of caching issues in my development times with it so try a force refresh and see if it makes a difference.

[mic]

Dad hasn't got a mic. ?

I glad of that, I'm not cheap you know


Guys, can ya get this thing in the bedroom

Have fun, we are

Mic ( pronounced Mick )

I just saw SANTA on my screen

He looks a bit tired .....

[mic]

Birddog's my Santa

My wife asked me what I wanted for my 40th early next year, guess what I said, ring Birrddog and ask him to send a D2X

I won't go into the response

Yes, Santa does look a bit tired

Mic.

Mic,
Good choice and taste!

[Nnnnsic]

In trying to get Dad's machine connected up with one of the DV cam's, I somehow made his primary monitor stop working.

I'm not having an altogether great day.

[Onyx]

Now that you have the DVcam running Leigh, hope you've read this guide.

[Nnnnsic]

Alas, this camera isn't for the camwhore in me but the camwhore at the Saturday night AW...

[Charlie Chalk]

Leigh is that a recording or are still working on the camera thingy?

(I aint got no sound by the way)

When you get a minute would you mind telling me what goes into getting the camera working through Flash Server?

Cheers

[Charlie Chalk]

Not sure if this might be on any help, but a few weeks ago we had a rather important presentation given to us over the internet by the CEO of our company (He's in the states).

The visual side was taken care of by some third party 'on-line' application (complete with your own handler to sort it for you). But the audio was provided via Skype.

I thought that it would be asking for all sorts of trouble - feeds not synced (sp?) etc, but it worked a treat.

I'm sure you'll have good sound sorted with the system you are working on, but if not maybe try Skype?

CC

[Nnnnsic]

Whilst I'm not entirely familiar with Skype, I highly doubt we can send both the video and the audio out to more than one user at the same time, which is what this app lets us do.

I am aware of third-party Flash Comm server groups that do it for you like Akamai and VitalStream, however, that's out of our budget for what we're doing here.

And I am on the camera thing at the moment, provided my wireless connection doesn't fog out on me... it has a few times tonight already... but I have turned off the sound.

And now I have chat with the video... thanks Dad for setting that one up and thanks Darren Gates at TUFaT.com for making FlashChat.

Let's do some testing, peoples!

[shockadelica-]
