10/6/2010 8:25:24 PM

----Getting confirmation of people dropping like flies now. THANKS TWW----

connection failed

10/7/2010 12:17:40 PM

^of course it failed... i took the server down last night when i posted the test was over...

10/7/2010 12:43:21 PM

i didn't see where you posted the test was over

10/7/2010 3:59:02 PM

^ sorry...

For what it's worth we'll be testing again soon. I had no idea we had hit capacity - checking the logs we've been hitting it for like 2 months

OH WE BACK.

Tonights mix? Journey, Kansas, Styx, and the random Weezer

I clicked a button & was rewarded with a Chicago song

10/9/2010 8:04:55 PM

^also a request.

And the blackberry link has been fixed. Thanks for the tip

Joomla!

10/9/2010 9:26:12 PM

Is that loaded enough?

10/9/2010 9:32:43 PM

^haha, it's just about twice our previous capacity. But I think our new capacity is around 85-100 listeners

I've also added in a 24Kpbs feed - apparently log signal areas couldn't handle all that data

[Edited on October 9, 2010 at 9:36 PM. Reason : ^^ whats wrong with Joomla?]

10/9/2010 9:35:20 PM

I'm pulling as much as I can on DSL, individual players sometimes have to rebuffer.

10/9/2010 9:38:00 PM

^i saw it drop from 17 to 5; excellent work

On a related note; when that buffering kicks in and it does it's burst thing it uses a boatload of ports. For 20 clients I was rockin' like 400 ports

10/9/2010 9:44:11 PM

Multiple instances of VLC make it easy to load something like that. Mute all but one to listen for quality and dropped packets.

10/9/2010 9:51:44 PM

^I usually watch it from the media info window. I have a 64K stream and 24K stream doing that right now. 138MB and nigh a dropped packet so far

[Edited on October 9, 2010 at 9:57 PM. Reason : oh snap - closer investigation reveals something is wrong ]

oh, nothing, I just hate it with an intense passion

10/9/2010 10:03:47 PM

^lol, why?


Here's what's up. I'm sending 24K, 22010hz, mono signal to the server. It's either playing back like the chipmunks or it's sending WAY more data. Ideas?

it's literally incomprehensible




designed by developers with developers in mind - once you learn how to use it, you're fine, and I suppose if you use it on a daily basis you're ok with it



but if you're like me, and you only touch it once in a blue moon, you hate the entire experience and you immediately forget everything about it, thus causing more pain the NEXT time you have to re-learn it.





also there's no consistency in plugins - Plugin A does one thing, another Plugin billed as "competitor to Plugin A" goes about doing something a completely different way. Shit is generally ass-backwards from what you'd expect from EVERY plugin. Plugins make irreversible changes to your install, so if you make a mistake, the whole goddamned thing is hosed.



sorry, I could go on for hours

10/9/2010 10:31:54 PM

^haha - yea. There's a definitely learning curve.

However I have a file with about 40 plugins that accomplish almost anything I've had a client ask for. And nothing in the file makes permanent changes (those are not plugins; rather 'hacks' - and they have to identify themselves since the last few iterations - easy to avoid now). There is definitely a guess and check system for finding a good plugin, however. It's was a SERIOUS pain to find a good Twitter plugin; but for $5 I got the sweet one.

Welp, I think I'm going to call this test over. Thanks to the supporters. No idea why the low quality stream is going haywire.


<<<TEST IS OVER FOR THE NIGHT - THANKS>>>

We're streaming church if anyone is up and wants to listen

We should be up until around 11.30. Today we're talkin' about finances and gettin' out of debt. 'Cause debt sucks.
