Re: streaming video problems!

Depending on your network hardware, those packets may not even traverse the
Internet when you're playing from the same network. There are ways to tell, but
if you're not even clear on the difference between LAN vs. WAN then it's
probably a futile effort.

This sounds like a limited bandwidth problem.

I didn't think there was a difference :(
When my broadcast is running, i will go to my webpage and click on the link,
windows media player will open up, and my broadcast would appear.

yes, i am watching my own broadcast through windows media player.
Other people who have logged on are having the exact same thing happen.
They are having a hard time keeping a constant bitrate going, it keeps
buffering and bumping down to the lower settings i have selected. I have
the
max users set to 10 and the most i can send out is 55kb/sec, even that
causes
buffering and whatnot.

I realize you're sending the video. But you mentioned "rebuffering"
without
saying where you saw this rebuffering. The only place I know where this
happens
is in Windows Media Player. So are you watching the stream within your
LAN
or
from the Internet? Or are you talking about something else entirely?

I am the one sending the video over the internet, not trying to watch a
stream from elsewhere.
I did a test at the broadband webpage you gave me and here are the
results:

***dslreports.com speed test result on 2006-03-02 17:32:10 EST:
1129 / 897
Your download speed : 1129 kbps or 141.1 KB/sec.
That is 82.9% worse than avg. other reports from eastlink.ca

Your upload speed : 897 kbps or 112.1 KB/sec.
That is 5.2% better than avg. other reports from eastlink.ca***

Since you haven't elaborated, I'm going to guess you have a computer
behind a
cable modem and are trying to watch a stream from the Internet
elsewhere,
right?

First try running a speed test and find out what your bandwidth really
is
(http://www.dslreports.com/stest). Also, watch the stream locally and
see
what
you get. Your ISP may be employing bandwidth throttling (unlikely.)

This computer is the only one on the cable connection here.
The 200kb/sec includes the audio as well, so it is probably sending
out
a
video of about 160 or more.
Could it be my modem doing this? I am not behind a firewall or a
router.
My modem is quite old (guessing 4 years).

hello all,
i am having problems streaming my pre-recorded video. I'm using
windows
media encoder. I use to be able to stream a bitrate of about
200kb/sec,
but
now i can barely keep a bitrate of 50kb/sec before it starts to
buffer
(in
windows media player). My pre-recorded videos are .wmv format.
I'm
not
pushing to a server, i'm using this computer here to pull.

My system is:
Windows XP SP1
P4 1.6Ghz
1.25 Gb RAM
Ati Tv Tuner
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400

Sounds like you may have network congestion or packet loss. What
else
is
on
this network, and are you sure WME is keeping up at 200Kb/s (see
stats
tab
while
encoding)?
