If you are referring to the church webcast system, no you cannot reuse the RTMP URL/stream id. You need to create a new one for each broadcast. To simplify things, some stakes create a meeting for each building and set it to run all Sunday.mrichman wrote:Sorry that I am coming in on this a little late to the party on this and I apologize if the answer is elsewhere on these forums, but is there any ability to have repeat meetings.
Meaning the rtmp URL's can be reused each week by the wards and members accessing the event? Allowing for less complication each week?
I don't know. And even if it's OK now, it may not stay that way.mrichman wrote:Are there any issues having a stream that stops and starts throughout the day?
There does not seem to be a problem. This evening a clerk and I took turns running a Larix Broadcast on the same Webcast meeting reservation. When each of us dropped the feed, the Tabernacle Choir started singing, and as each of us started sending again, the webcast resumed.mrichman wrote:Are there any issues having a stream that stops and starts throughout the day?
This evening we received an email that the encoder target rate exceeded the maximum encode rate (2929:2300) - Please reduce the encode rate on your encoder. We were running Larix on an iOS phone.Mikerowaved wrote:Here are the instructions I wrote up for our stake
That's fine in testing, but what if you schedule a long session for the building and each ward turns their feed on/off? In other words, you schedule for 4 hours, but there's a 30-45 minute gap of no streaming before the next ward starts? I'm guessing that's what the person was thinking about. It might work. Then again, the second or third ward may make an unpleasant discovery if the rules change.lajackson wrote:There does not seem to be a problem.

As far as I know, it works fine now. If a stake conference ends on time the webcast servers will still stay on until I turn them off. I have gone over an hour without a feed and not lost them.russellhltn wrote:That's fine in testing, but what if you schedule a long session for the building and each ward turns their feed on/off?

I'd look over the document for Broadcast to YouTube from iPhone. Based on the screen shots, Under Settings, Audio/Video Encoding, there's a "Avg Bitrate". Based on the screen shot, the default may be 3000 kbits/sec. I'd suggest knocking it down to 2000. Maybe lower depending on your available upload bandwidth.lajackson wrote:This evening we received an email that the encoder target rate exceeded the maximum encode rate (2929:2300) - Please reduce the encode rate on your encoder.

What setting did we miss?
And when is the last time we got a timely notice of a change? [grin]lajackson wrote:As far as I know, it works fine now.
