Nanda classes and webcam

[Guest guest]

Nandaji,

The quality of the audio and video has really improved. Thanks to you,

Kumari, and all the other computer sevaks. Chanting along with Swamiji

and the group last night was wonderful. I have a couple of technical

questions that might relate to others as well.

 

First, I have a high speed internet connection but my computer is a

couple of years old. I maxed the memory.

 

Whenever I try to email for the online chat I get bumped from the

webcam viewing. I have tried emailing with the link from the

shreemaa.org webpage, going into my account with another

browser, and even using a second browser and other email account.

Normally I can have several windows open at once, so wondering if it

might be the amount of space the web video and audio take up or

perhaps that firefox does not work well with this process. Ideas?

 

Second issue is that I have not been able to download/view the recent

gita and lalita video classes. I have viewed short videos and audio

files from the website with no problem. When I click to open the class

files my computer works and works in the getting file mode but they

never come up...even after 20 minutes or so. A memory problem on my

end or other ideas?

Thanks so much, Sadhumaa

Dear Sadhu Maa,

 

Thank you for paticipating in the live broadcasts.

 

To answer your technical questions; first, how much memory do you have

in your computer? there should be at least 512mg and preferably 1Gb.

Firefox should work well, although, if you have many browser windows

open at one time on a low memory system, you could have some browser

crashes.

I recommend that you install a second browser like Camino and use that

for the window or the emailing. You can also view the broadcasts

in Camino. Camino is a nice, light weight browser. Firefox, if it's

not the most current, could give some issues.

 

Another option is to use Quicktime client and use these rtsp URL's for

the 2 video broadcasts.

rtsp://65.98.35.106:554/webcam.sdp

rtsp://65.98.35.106:554/webcam2.sdp

then, at the http://www.shreemaa.org/broadcasts you can click the off

arrow on the video control panel to turn off the video broadcasts

since you'll be viewing those in Quicktime and use the browser window

to hear the audio broadcast. Quicktime client windows do work better

than firefox for the video.

 

I use a Macbook and I'll have 2 browsers open at one time: Safari for

monitoring the video server, Firefox for the audio broadcast, and 2

Quicktime client windows for the video broadcasts. a third

browser(Camino) for doing anything else.

 

I hope this helps and feel free to email me

offline(dsjames (AT) pghmail (DOT) com) if you have other questions or need

clarification.

 

 

Much Love,

Kumari
