This time we are paying an 难抵(1v1妹夫出轨)小说d company to manage the stream for us, while it has been great having volunteers in the past – I wanted to guarantee a high quality video output. There are lots of ‘background’ costs, camera hire, sound desk management, ensuring that there is enough quality and capacity to stream out of the venue.

Putting a small fee on the passes for the webcast gives us a little control over the handling of this and allows us to recover some of these costs.

Generally for these things it is the streaming server software that costs the cash, not the raw bandwidth itself. There are open source media servers, but they aren’t very mainstream, and thus not widely supported (sadly). Be a nice project to implement one for future events, now that faster upstream bandwidth on the likes of FTTC ‘BT Infinity’ makes event streaming more of a possibility. Pi TV!! Now I wonder what you could use as a neat little client machine to watch it……

Ahh, I seen now… why can’t the web feed just be hosted on Livestream or as a Google+ Hangout (and on YouTube), so that bandwidth isn’t limited, and anyone can watch (without buying a ticket)?
