It's a 20min file so I just have it playing straight though. I am focusing on keeping my DLR streams up 3 just ended on my end.

Hi Cindy!

They are having all sorts of issues there...

I am not impressed. I'd love to know who set them up though, if this was a contract gig like WDW or if it was internal Disney IT...

I actually wonder how much bandwidth they allocated for the cams.
and the load..

No...this one isn't Meg...

I'm sure @Trotsky can come in and tell us who sucks in Disney IT.

Something about a "working CIO"

Firstly, I think they are testing which service provider is better. WDW is running though Akamai and DLR is on streamcloud. Also All DLR's cam's are pure 720p with a max bitrate of 50mbps where as WDW max is 750kbps and is able to be streamed at lower bitrates.

I really don't think that's the issue. Latency and caching is the issue.

They should have used Akamai.

for having such a robust network as akamai, I'm surprised they only throw 750kbps.
seems everything is lower budgeted in WDW lol.. even IT.

btw, the WDW main cam in the train station is skipping approximately every 1 minute.

Ding ding ding. Nice info! Thanks!

Hi Eliot! (my favorite float)

 

[englanddg]

Wonder if he'll blow smoke right in front of the webcam like last year. Can't tell if Pete is on him yet...

 

[englanddg]

Oh, there he is... wave at us Pete!

 

[englanddg]

Aww...last year Pete waved at the Webcam.

As a side note, WDW is running through a third party contract...if they have the same setup as last year. I dug through their setup last year to track it down. No inclination to dig through their source code again (though it wouldn't be hard...) to see if it's the same, but I suspect it is.

 

[englanddg]

Well, that was fun!

 

[Gringrinngghost]

They should have used Akamai.

720p HD streaming requires 1.5mbps to download, so if they where not in HD and at 750kbps they could host double the viewers.

Time to go ride Buzz now! Oh wait I'm not actually there...
