06:58:04 PM_Jot_ normally you stop the car and get off the road before you fiddle with things right so you can then turn on the radio?

07:05:43 PMdancemat I guess the humour is going to be 'dead pan' tonight...
07:05:45 PM_Jot_ No thanks :) I'd rather arrange things before anything happens
07:06:28 PMDennis_Kelley BobK54 are you feeling better now?
07:07:21 PMBobK54 MUCH better Dennis Kelley. thanks. I was lucky, timely, and got the right treatment.
07:07:28 PMDennis_Kelley working on live feed from website
07:07:41 PMDennis_Kelley great to hear BobK54
07:08:46 PMAndyC823 This reminds me of a TV show we had here called Black Mirror http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entire_History_of_You
07:08:53 PMRobbieF We'll definitely try to keep it happy :) It's a tough topic, but cool service.
07:09:08 PMRobbieF Does anyone have any questions? let me know.
07:09:29 PMRobbieF http://cat5.tv/mom to check out the service and support Cat5 at the same time
07:09:40 PM_Jot_ So how does the service know when to send something? Cause when I'm dead I'm not going to be able to let anyone now
07:10:07 PMRobbieF Thanks _Jot_
07:10:30 PMStraeger Hillary just asked my question.
07:10:55 PMDennis_Kelley Roku is not working at all!
07:11:11 PMspiceJax So your Mother in Law can nag you after shes Gone? I don't know that this is a good Idea.
07:11:19 PMDJQuad yeah roku is borked
07:11:23 PM_Jot_ Can people whos roku isn't working please say what roku they have?
07:11:25 PMAndyC823 How does the person getting the letter know it's from the actual person and not some kind of imposter?
07:11:26 PMStraeger *snrk*
07:11:41 PMStraeger Nice one, spicejax
07:11:44 PMDreamweaver909 Now my l on Roku iis working.

07:12:01 PMdancemat Roku 3 here
07:12:10 PMRobbieF thanks DJQuad :)
07:12:11 PMspiceJax Why not just learn to talk to your family while they are with you.
07:12:23 PMRobbieF That's important too spiceJax
07:13:31 PMalket sorry i joined late, who is the lady ?
07:13:52 PMspiceJax I'll pass on this idea.
07:14:39 PMspiceJax @alket memoriesofme.com
07:14:53 PMalket ty
07:15:29 PM_Jot_ time to teach her about password-managers :)
07:15:36 PMjwmp5051 Jeeze. I've got hundreds of passwords!!
07:15:39 PMStraeger KPass FTW
07:15:45 PMAndyC823 So what's to stop me pretending to be a dead person and e-mailing their next of kin pretending to be their loved one and trying to influence stuff like disposal of the estate?
07:15:53 PMStraeger *KeePass
07:15:55 PMLyndon Yeah! I'm back!
07:16:11 PMDJQuad robbie you better say something to pick us up after this buzz-kill segment is over ;)
07:16:37 PM_Jot_ I think this is a very positive segment to share things with people
07:16:42 PM_Jot_ Robbie is the buzzkil :P
07:16:45 PMrevdjenk AndyC823: I haven't been paying to every moment... but don't they require death cert?
07:17:06 PMspiceJax http://www.memoriesofme.com.au/
07:17:13 PMAndyC823 They may do, but what if an imposter sends a fake letter?
07:17:16 PMdancemat Anything is possible with tech ;)
07:17:33 PMStraeger revdjenk she said they contact the mortuary, first.
07:17:44 PMLyndon ok who know the link to live audio... my internet is reeeaaally slow. =(
07:18:31 PMAndyC823 But what if the hacker just sends a fake letter to the loved ones?
07:18:32 PMrevdjenk there's your answer AndyC823
07:18:34 PM_Jot_ its on the front page
07:18:38 PMDJQuad i'm not sure but i'm sure Jot can give you the audio link
07:18:48 PM_Jot_ the links to the audio is on the front page
07:19:10 PMRobbieF Viewer questions coming up!
07:19:41 PMdancemat RobbieF: Have the questions already been selected? :)
07:19:52 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF the audio is awesome tonight. they girls voices sound great!
07:20:08 PMRobbieF wonderful!
07:20:14 PMRobbieF did a lot of work this week!
07:20:17 PMjwmp5051 memoriesofme.com not coming up in Firefox - I get a "hostmonster" web hosting page
07:20:20 PMDJQuad Lyndon try http://cdn.zecheriah.com/radio/listen.m3u
07:20:23 PMRobbieF http://cat5.tv/mom
07:20:27 PMRobbieF jwmp5051
07:20:45 PMLyndon thanks!!
07:20:48 PMspiceJax try this one https://www.memoriesofme.ca
07:20:54 PMRobbieF please use http://cat5.tv/mom
07:20:57 PMRobbieF ^^ supports the show
07:21:06 PMDJQuad you're welcome :)
07:21:08 PMjwmp5051 Thanks
07:21:11 PMGuest46681 The roku channel kicked in 12 minutes late
07:21:18 PM_Jot_ I want to point out you wouldn't get a safety-deposit-box but go to a lawyer or notary and provide something to share after death with them with a will so it wouldn't cost anything
07:21:24 PMAndyC823 This is a bit like the twitter thing that remembers what you tweet then carries on tweeting on your behalf after your're dead
07:21:25 PMrevdjenk RobbieF: we should all be pre-planning for these life events, to make it easier for our loved ones
07:21:29 PMjwmp5051 Yep. That works
07:21:55 PMDennis_Kelley Guest46681 its not working for me at all!
07:22:08 PMrevdjenk thanks for these, and like passwordbox's work in that area.. before they got bought out
07:22:38 PMDJQuad news with margaritas. right on
07:22:40 PMStraeger Jamaica would be nice. We're expecting another 1-4 inches by tomorrow night.
07:22:53 PMMaineGeek75 just a small fyi. i was going to use my android to watch the show, but for some reason when i clicked on the view on android device on the m.cat5.tv it wasn't working...
07:23:21 PMStraeger Yeah, I've had problems on my S5 when accessing m.cat5.tv.
07:23:23 PMAndyC823 I tried Android too but couldn't make it work.
07:23:36 PMStraeger The site comes up, but none of the links seem to work right.
07:23:41 PMMaineGeek75 i'm using the droid maxx by verizon...
07:23:41 PMrevdjenk beltone ad, so loud.....! hee hee
07:23:49 PMStraeger even the link to baldnerd.com doesn't come up.
07:25:03 PMDennis_Kelley My roku finally came up. still in middle of interview. Where she is talking about her sister
07:25:23 PMRobbieF how strange DK
07:25:27 PMStraeger oooOOOoo....MinBox Mini...
07:25:30 PMRobbieF How is roku for everyone else?
07:25:47 PMdancemat Terrible, Robbie - sorry :(
07:25:57 PMRobbieF NOoooOoOOOO!
07:25:58 PMRobbieF hehe
07:26:01 PMRobbieF we'll get it yet!
07:26:01 PMdancemat It loaded, but many minutes behind ;)
07:26:04 PMDreamweaver909 Mine is about 15 minutes behind here.
07:26:08 PMRobbieF crap
07:26:10 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF looks like about 15 minutes behind
07:26:28 PMDJQuad roku 3 isn't loading for me :/ i'm now watching on a pc
07:26:29 PMRobbieF that's really really bad!
07:26:33 PMRobbieF sorry folks
07:26:39 PMStraeger Can you splash a different linux distro on the MintBox Mini?
07:26:41 PMDreamweaver909 get those squirrels running faster instead of recording those birds..lol
07:26:50 PMRobbieF Straeger oh yeah!
07:26:55 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF: roku just at point where you chimed in about security
07:27:02 PMRobbieF lol
07:27:03 PMRobbieF k
07:27:03 PMrevdjenk 6watts I think
07:27:04 PMdancemat Wonder if when it's an antique...it'll be minted :)
07:27:05 PMWhiskey_Zero Roku is still buffering tonight and is several minutes slow compared to comments on chat
07:27:07 PMRobbieF same for the web feed?
07:27:10 PMRobbieF or only roku
07:27:13 PMAndyC823 It would make a good private E-mail server
07:27:18 PMrevdjenk it is fanless
07:27:20 PMStraeger I think a lightweight Kali box would be awesome. Kali on the Pi is a bit slow.
07:27:20 PMDJQuad web feed is cool
07:27:24 PMdancemat Or torrent box :)
07:27:37 PMRobbieF k thanks. We'll get the roku working :)
07:28:03 PMAndyC823 I bet they don't sell them in Pc World!
07:28:22 PMDJQuad it's something definitely wonky with roku. all other feeds are fine
07:28:41 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, don't forget to do a show
07:28:45 PMRobbieF DJQuad I set it up with a CBR this week so I'll bet it's that.
07:28:50 PMRobbieF Roku must like to drop frames :(
07:28:51 PMdancemat AndyC823: No they only sell things that break, just after your warranty expires ;)
07:28:55 PMRobbieF hence the buffering usually
07:29:06 PMRobbieF because I set it to CBR, those dropped frames mean extended video.
07:29:12 PMRobbieF Because the frames don't get dropped
07:29:17 PMjwmp5051 I have chrome on Android (Moto G). Chrome doesn't seem to understand rtsp protocol
07:29:21 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF where can i find sashad shows on the roku
07:29:25 PMAndyC823 very true dancemat
07:29:36 PMRobbieF ROKU USERS: Are you available after the show? I will gladly spend 15 minutes with you doing some testing.
07:29:42 PMDJQuad youtube doesn't use CBR too?
07:29:53 PMRobbieF We don't broadcast via YouTube right now.
07:29:56 PMRobbieF Only on-demand.
07:29:58 PMRobbieF not live.
07:30:07 PMdancemat It's 12:29 am here...but I might be :)
07:30:18 PMStraeger That bites the early adopters in the fourth point of contact.
07:30:19 PMDJQuad i'll be around to test
07:30:24 PMRobbieF We'll mention it.
07:30:30 PMrevdjenk RobbieF: through chromecast and cast this tab I "pretend" you do!
07:30:33 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF i can!
07:30:49 PMWhiskey_Zero I'll be available Robbie
07:31:01 PMRobbieF Thanks folks.
07:31:19 PMRobbieF We'll keep the feed up after the show. and will start an after-show around 10 minutes after signoff
07:31:49 PMAndyC823 RobbieF are you going to start the live streaming on Youtube again?
07:31:56 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF so where can i see her shows
07:32:06 PMDJQuad glass is too creepy. perhaps google contact lenses will be more popular. lol
07:32:09 PMRobbieF Sasha's?
07:32:21 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF yes
07:32:23 PMRobbieF AndyC823 I would like to but it's too expensive.
07:32:26 PMRobbieF Perhaps one day.
07:32:36 PMStraeger Shoe generators. Corey Doctorow mentioned something like it in one of his short stories.
07:32:40 PMrevdjenk RobbieF: what is the cost?
07:32:46 PMRobbieF With this feed, we can power the web site, mobile site, and Roku. With YouTube, we can only power... YouTube.
07:32:58 PMRobbieF So this is the biggest bang for the buck, if we can fix the issues on Roku.
07:33:15 PMRobbieF revdjenk, adding a YouTube feed would be about $200 in bandwidth costs per month.
07:33:27 PMAndyC823 RobbieF Do YouTube charge for streaming then? They offered it to me but never mentioned charging.
07:33:38 PMrevdjenk uh...thanks...
07:33:44 PMBobK54 Energy harvesting wireless sensors are a big upcoming business.
07:33:48 PM_Jot_ Make sure to send lots of cash to http://cat5.tv/c if you want more streams, and shop through http://shop.category5.tv and buy all the stuff
07:33:58 PMrevdjenk oh, it is the bandwidth, not youtube cost! ahhhhh
07:34:08 PMRobbieF No AndyC823 - we have to send the stream to them over an LTE Internet Connection: we cannot get hard-wired Internet at the studio.
07:34:14 PMRobbieF So it's all the cost of bandwidth.
07:34:33 PMdancemat Will you be able to sometime in the future? :)
07:34:35 PMRobbieF Yep, YouTube is great; free and high bitrate. But it's not free for us to SEND them the feed.
07:34:36 PMStraeger When is "when required"?
07:34:42 PMdancemat Seems rather unfair for you :(
07:34:57 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF so how is the Internet getting to the new studio
07:35:04 PMRobbieF I hope so dancemat. We are waiting to hear back from a friend who works for a local ISP to see if they can help with an Internet connection.
07:35:19 PMrevdjenk RobbieF: you are a good sport!
07:35:27 PMDJQuad oh ok. i was assuming the live video was primarily to youtube and the roku rebroadcasted that. i know many channels do that
07:35:29 PMdancemat I hope so too :)
07:35:29 PMRobbieF Dennis_Kelley do you remember the MiFi 2 Sasha and I reviewed?
07:35:31 PM_Jot_ I never sw a ticked off Hillary before
07:35:32 PMAndyC823 @RobbieF Leave that with me... I'm having an idea but want to check it out before I suggest it.
07:35:47 PMrevdjenk yes, but we have Tim Horton's! A better cross border exchange!!!
07:35:54 PMRobbieF DJQuad, unfortunately YouTube TOS forbids us from pulling it into Roku.
07:35:56 PM_Jot_ when Hillary gets so upset she can't talk, does she go and sign?
07:35:59 PMRobbieF And since I'm a good boy... :(
07:36:05 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF seems to be working well!
07:36:07 PMHillary yes *signs yes*
07:36:09 PMRobbieF Thanks AndyC823
07:36:23 PMRobbieF Yes, shockingly well DK
07:36:28 PMRobbieF It's impressive.
07:36:49 PMRobbieF to be fair, we are pretty much at the base of a cell tower :) hehe
07:36:55 PMRobbieF so that might explain the great connection.
07:36:58 PM_Jot_ Hillary, I bet thats really upsetting for you cause not everybody would understand it and just make you more upset :)
07:37:00 PMjwmp5051 Ahah! I've got the feed working on Android phone. If you long press on the "Watch Live Android / Blackberry" link on the Category 5 App, copy the link address, then paste it into VLC (or some other RTSP player. IT WORKS!
07:37:01 PMDJQuad hmmm i'm quite sure the cook.tv channels on roku do that tho
07:37:11 PMHillary *doubles signs yes*
07:37:16 PMRobbieF And the ONE TIME we went down, turns out it was because we had exceeded the monthly bandwidth allotment, so it locked us out.
07:37:27 PMDJQuad one sec, maybe not cook.tv, let me make sure
07:38:00 PMDennis_Kelley Hillary great job on the interview! you both sound great!
07:38:13 PMHillary Thanks Dennis
07:38:49 PM_Jot_ dead air! dead air! on the radio
07:39:32 PMLyndon thanks for that jwmp5051
07:39:34 PMStraeger They'll just trick you into agreeing.
07:39:41 PMrevdjenk _Jot_: RobbieF was talking about buying the mint mini through amazon/cat5... We buy a lot through amazon. Can we do our "normal" amazon purchases and help cat5? elucidate us...
07:39:52 PM_Jot_ it was dead air when I said it :P
07:39:58 PMStraeger "You're infected! Click here to install our program to clean your infection!"
07:40:06 PMjwmp5051 OK. Hope that's useful to someone.
07:40:30 PMRobbieF Yes revdjenk
07:40:34 PMLyndon yup. ill try that next time i think.
07:40:41 PMRobbieF Did you watch my BSP video thanking people for using our affiliate links?
07:40:44 PMRobbieF it's on Roku
07:40:54 PMRobbieF Talks all about that
07:41:11 PMrevdjenk ah, no Roku here
07:41:34 PMStraeger Always read the ToS and EULA.
07:41:38 PMRobbieF https://vimeo.com/117054964
07:41:45 PMLyndon all the good stuff,, haha
07:42:06 PM_Jot_ Sorry RobbieF, I am currently watching a show called Category5.tv so I can't watch that link
07:42:19 PMjwmp5051 LOL
07:42:34 PMRobbieF :) Save it for later
07:42:37 PMLyndon lol
07:42:45 PMRobbieF that was for revdjenk
07:42:52 PMrevdjenk thanks RobbieF
07:42:53 PMLyndon my bandwidth!
07:42:57 PMAndyC823 They bought the lander from PC World!
07:42:59 PMDJQuad @RobbieF sorry it's ifood.tv. they have about 10 roku channels and as far as the live streams, they are broadcasted on youtube and rebroadcasted on roku nearly in real-time. the vods are then pulled from youtube
07:43:23 PM_Jot_ thats really expensive in gear
07:43:24 PMrevdjenk the Beagle is lying low on Mars...
07:43:32 PM_Jot_ and they surely have enough bandwidth for it
07:43:36 PMrevdjenk a successful failure
07:43:38 PMDJQuad we'll talk after the stream. lol
07:43:47 PMStraeger Failure is always an option?
07:44:03 PMjwmp5051 SashaD: You Wish!!
07:44:13 PMrevdjenk only 2000km from Curiousity, otherwise it could go kick that panel
07:45:45 PMDJQuad not without tapping into their API
07:45:46 PMrevdjenk RobbieF: that vid is ready to run in my browser... post show viewing
07:45:58 PMStraeger It's so I don't have to keep modifying the webpage every time I upload a new video.
07:46:10 PMrevdjenk SashaD... you aren't signed in tonight?
07:46:21 PM_Jot_ no, she is in jamaica
07:46:31 PM_Jot_ it was the magic of television, not the magic of internet
07:46:35 PMjwmp5051
07:46:36 PMDreamweaver909 having rum and red stripe beer
07:46:39 PMDreamweaver909 lol
07:46:51 PMrevdjenk _Jot_: ah, thought that was just a green screen
07:47:09 PM_Jot_ no, we're poor now with the satellite feed and everything
07:47:43 PMLyndon jaja. i can only wish for satellite...
07:47:57 PMLyndon haha*
07:48:32 PMLyndon i am just one mbps more than dialup
07:49:07 PMLyndon its a miracle anything works
07:49:33 PMDJQuad preetification!
07:50:35 PMLyndon fantastic!
07:50:58 PMDJQuad parse that bad boy
07:51:05 PMLyndon oh gooshh
07:52:56 PMLyndon I really need to learn me some PHP
07:53:09 PM_Jot_ thats what RobbieF is teaching :)
07:53:33 PMDJQuad robbie convinced me to learn php. best advice ever
07:53:43 PMLyndon one at a time... im still wrapping my head arround html
07:54:04 PMLyndon cool
07:54:35 PMDJQuad output basic html. don't worry about learning everything about html
07:55:45 PMLyndon right! only if i need to for someting speciall or something
07:56:49 PMLyndon i havent even touched CSS yet... i'm so behind
07:57:32 PMLyndon like i said, one at a time
07:57:47 PMBobK54 edX is offering that free Linux course again authored by the Linux Foundation. v2 looks to be a little better organized.
07:57:58 PMDJQuad it's good to learn html and maybe css to make it pretty. let the designers worry about that stuff if you're focusing on php coding itself
07:58:18 PMLyndon really? cool
07:58:21 PM_Jot_ hurry up RobbieF!
07:59:23 PMStraeger yep. That gives me some place to start.
07:59:30 PMLyndon the show are never long enough. =/

08:04:57 PMDJQuad lol
08:05:20 PMspiceJax where backstage pass link?
08:06:27 PMspiceJax stream still up meters running, eh?
08:07:04 PMjwmp5051 Good question spiceJax
08:07:14 PMDJQuad spiceJax https://www.youtube.com/user/LinuxTechShow/videos
08:07:39 PMspiceJax TX DJQ
08:07:58 PMdreamweaver909 at 7 after 8 you had 2 minutes left...lol
08:08:05 PMjwmp5051 Live backstage pass?
08:10:33 PMLyndon this is for Studio D i think..http://www.category5.tv/studiod.php
08:11:20 PM_Jot_ http://cat5.tv/studio is shorter
08:11:43 PMWhiskey_Zero just lost the feed
08:11:48 PMdancemat Same here
08:11:52 PMrevdjenk I'm casting this to my tv through chromecast... so I am cheating
08:12:04 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, the stream is back
08:12:33 PMMrN_ still no live on roku here
08:12:40 PMWhiskey_Zero Still buffering
08:12:47 PMRobbieF K thanks
08:12:50 PMRobbieF keep me posted
08:13:40 PMWhiskey_Zero buffering stalled
08:13:46 PMMrN_ nope nothing yet
08:14:07 PMRobbieF K so first test failed miserably ;)
08:14:23 PMDennis_Kelley mine says retriving and is taking along time
08:14:33 PMDJQuad robbie do check out how ifood.tv does it later. they broadcast each of their 14+ channels live on youtube (2 of their channels each day at various times) and roku rebroadcasts it with a little delay. then the VODS are pulled from youtube
08:14:39 PMRobbieF k I just put it back
08:14:41 PMRobbieF please reload
08:14:42 PMdreamweaver909 stalled at about 60%
08:14:44 PMdancemat In quality, as it is loading it shows 4 circles. Assuming this means highest quality roku 3 can take?
08:15:15 PMRobbieF yeah
08:15:38 PMjwmp5051 FYI, http://live.cat5.tv/ feed was only interrupted for a couple of seconds
08:15:44 PM_Jot_ I reloaded when it stopped and came back for me
08:15:50 PMdancemat It's loading painfully slow...
08:15:51 PMRobbieF k
08:15:55 PMRobbieF but loads?
08:15:59 PMWhiskey_Zero restarted, then stalled at 30 percent
08:16:16 PMdancemat Won't know, for about 10 minutes
08:16:23 PMdancemat That's how long it took last time
08:16:25 PMRobbieF k one moment
08:16:31 PMWhiskey_Zero nothing yet, goingslowly
08:17:10 PMDJQuad robbie just curious can you do a speed test right now? i know the connectivity isn't the best overall but that's a good starting point when you're actively streaming
08:17:15 PMdancemat Nope it failed and went back to play screen
08:18:00 PMRobbieF k connect now
08:18:00 PMWhiskey_Zero back at continue watching screen, but wont load
08:18:10 PMdreamweaver909 same with me
08:18:23 PMRobbieF k hit back and then load it again
08:18:24 PMdancemat *tries again - loading*
08:18:30 PMWhiskey_Zero Stalled after restart
08:18:42 PMjwmp5051 Audio but no video on web page
08:18:45 PMDJQuad the live stream has audio but the video is frozen
08:19:16 PMWhiskey_Zero very slowly loading
08:19:18 PMDennis_Kelley mine stalls just over half. does not load
08:19:32 PMDJQuad do a speed test when your upload seems to be maxed
08:19:40 PMWhiskey_Zero stalled at 60%
08:20:16 PMWhiskey_Zero booted me out
08:20:21 PMRobbieF try now
08:20:24 PMRobbieF back and then load
08:20:29 PMLyndon brb, getting a snack
08:20:49 PMWhiskey_Zero restarted, up to 50%
08:21:06 PMDennis_Kelley restarted at about 50% now
08:21:12 PMWhiskey_Zero 70%
08:21:16 PMdancemat Mines at 30%
08:21:29 PMWhiskey_Zero 80%
08:21:53 PMWhiskey_Zero 90&
08:21:54 PMDJQuad does wirecast tell how many frames you're dropping?
08:22:12 PMDennis_Kelley mine is at maybe 60%
08:22:12 PMdancemat 45%
08:22:18 PMWhiskey_Zero got picture now
08:22:56 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF is that dinner?
08:23:09 PMRobbieF Okay reload
08:23:25 PMDJQuad the video is working but it's very blurry/pixelated
08:23:32 PMWhiskey_Zero i can see you now
08:23:44 PMWhiskey_Zero buffering again
08:23:52 PMDennis_Kelley from the roku menu do you all continue watching or reload feed
08:24:12 PMdancemat restarted - 30%
08:24:14 PMWhiskey_Zero Got you again
08:24:37 PMWhiskey_Zero still buffering
08:24:44 PMDennis_Kelley sorry continue watching or play from begining?
08:25:03 PMRobbieF k reload
08:25:09 PMWhiskey_Zero Got you again, picture less bit rate
08:25:14 PMDJQuad it's not buffering on my roku. it's actually looks the same on roku and pc
08:25:25 PMWhiskey_Zero buffering
08:25:40 PMWhiskey_Zero you are back
08:26:15 PMWhiskey_Zero started buffering again
08:26:27 PMDJQuad the pc is frozen. audio is skipping a bit
08:26:30 PMjwmp5051 Audio not so good on live feed
08:26:57 PMWhiskey_Zero audio sounds poor here
08:27:19 PMDennis_Kelley i am not getting anything to load
08:27:26 PMWhiskey_Zero cant read text on screen
08:27:45 PMRobbieF k restart the feed
08:27:48 PMDennis_Kelley live feed works off website, but no roku
08:28:17 PMWhiskey_Zero buffering
08:28:37 PMdancemat 4 mins in and at 50%
08:28:42 PMWhiskey_Zero buffering
08:28:47 PMRobbieF restart if it doesn't seem to be loading
08:29:08 PMDJQuad isn't VBR better than CBR? it seems like roku is very unforgiving with CBR. they expect the constant bitrate and assume you're dropping frames, if that makes sense
08:29:10 PMWhiskey_Zero got you back live
08:29:11 PMdancemat it's loading, just slowly :)
08:29:41 PMjwmp5051 web feed working
08:29:55 PMjwmp5051 OK
08:29:57 PMdancemat jwmp5051: how are you getting the live feed?
08:30:08 PMWhiskey_Zero got you live

08:31:26 PMWhiskey_Zero stalled at 60%
08:32:13 PMRobbieF k restarting now
08:32:15 PMRobbieF please load again
08:32:22 PMDJQuad robbie can you please do a speedtest as you're pushing the broadcast to roku?
08:32:37 PMjwmp5051 RobbieF: Could the problem be your home internet upload, or the link between studio D and home?
08:32:40 PMWhiskey_Zero still st
08:32:48 PMWhiskey_Zero reloaded
08:33:32 PMWhiskey_Zero loading slow now
08:33:38 PMDennis_Kelley mine stays at about 50% and shows nothing
08:33:52 PMdreamweaver909 now you are on roku
08:34:05 PMWhiskey_Zero stalled at 60%
08:34:30 PMspiceJax is that speed on the Cellular?

08:35:25 PMWhiskey_Zero still loading .....
08:35:45 PMRobbieF k reload
08:36:13 PMdancemat reloading - 30%
08:36:19 PMjwmp5051 RobbieF: Roku has worked, yes? What has changed since last week?
08:36:43 PMRobbieF just that we're trying to improve it jwmp5051 - it's user-to-user whether it works or not
08:36:49 PMLyndon i caught a glimpse of you RobbieF
08:37:00 PMdancemat The roku gods have turned against us...I think jwmp5051 :)
08:37:05 PMDJQuad ok it really seems like dropping packets is the issue. i could be very wrong but you might want to rule that out. check out a program called PacketShaper
08:37:12 PMjwmp5051 OK
08:37:29 PMLyndon hey there you are
08:37:35 PMLyndon !!
08:38:11 PMdancemat I'm wondering all this talk about death...has killed it :)
08:38:12 PMDJQuad ping tests dont matter. packetshaper is like a ping test on steroids. heh
08:38:13 PMDennis_Kelley i got 7.27Mbps down and 1.98Mbps up - using speedtest.net
08:38:41 PMspiceJax Maybe you can do a Google hangout after show sometime, Robbie.
