JayR Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Hello it my first time :oops: Basically I am having problem streaming with media player from teacher.tv as a user on our school network. We use an ISA server and firewall to manage our internet connections over the network. I have tried configuring media player streaming settings to our isa server and port number but have had no look. So if anyone could offer me some advice I would be very gratefull, and so will the teachers who have been repetetively asking with polite smiles if i've fixed the problem, and how they don't no why it doesn't work at school because it works at home. Thanks for any help, JayR (no relation to the one that got shot)
ChrisC Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 yea, you checked your media player proxy settings? (i think you did say you have). some random codec needed? Chris
eduabncs Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 We tracked this down to being a problem with how some (older) proxy software deals with variable bit rate streams ie they don't! And guess how the Teacher TV videos are encoded!! The solution as always is an upgrade of the proxy software to the latest and greates or just download the files and then play them!
JayR Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 we are currently running ISA server 2000, is this to old? I forgot to mention that the streaming works as an administrtor, but then things normally do. JayR
ChrisC Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Theres probably some activeX control or plugin that's not able to download as a standard user? Chris
JayR Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 I have found a kind of resolution, I created an account and told them it would be more worthwhile for them to download the videos and have them available any time to other staff on a network drive. They bought it off course because I used long words like "streaming" and "settings" and when their eyes started to glaze over I new I had won. Thanks for your help. JayR
Edu-IT Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I've got this problem too but would prefer not to download the videos. The video briefly displays on the page then goes, and theres an error about Syntax coming up in IE. Any ideas?
