[nfbmi-talk] NFB Online Streaming Problems

Hi Mike,

Last year they had a few issues during the welcoming ceremony, but
otherwise, the online stream was pretty good. This is why I am so surprised
that there is such a big problem this year. Hopefully they are able to
resolve the issue for the rest of the convention. 

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Thank you Elizabeth. 
I was thinking of looking into any possible updates to my system to perhaps
solve the problem but as you have confirmed others have had issues I will
just hope for the best tomorrow.  I wonder if anyone had a problem last
year?  Since I was at opening session then I had no reason to check the
feed.  The last time I got online for the convention was 2012 when we were
in Dallas.  The week went without any problems until the night of the
banquet when a thunder storm knocked out my internet and I missed the
address.  Power did eventually return and I caught the award presentations.
Anyway, happy fourth everybody.
Mike

Hello All,

There has been quite a discussion about this on the national student email
list. Apparently, the hotel internet service is not all that great, and
thus, is providing difficulties for the online stream. The problems seem to
appear on all listening devices. I am sure people are aware of the problem,
and are most likely doing all they can to find a solution to the problem if
there is one that can be found. Hopefully the quality of the online stream
will improve for the rest of the convention sessions.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Hello Elizabeth and Joe.
I was trying to listen through the media player feed link and it would run
for a while and then cut out.  Then I would get the media player file error
that I usually get when there is a malfunction.  The music I ran to check
the player as a test opened all right as I would run something to verify
things were working before entering the feed link again. The feed would run
five to ten minutes when I would restart it after having to shutdown as it
was the only way to close the Media player once the error occurred.  At
least now I know it wasn't just me having difficulty.  So I hope the bugs
will be ironed out tomorrow for opening sessions in the morning or
presidential report in the afternoon   .  I may try going through the ITunes
feed link with the I Phone ifI can get it to work.      
Maybe between that and trying media player again I should be able to stay
connected.
Keep in touch.  At Least, Elizabeth, we're not having to deal with those
elevator lines or people needing to know what state they are in though
that's half the fun of being there.    
Mike

Hi Again,

Maybe I spoke too soon Elizabeth. I did just lose the stream. Perhaps its a
buffer issue...Don't know for sure.

Hang in there ....

Joe
