Do you thinkg IPlayer is going to work next Wednesday?

Nearly had a big problem at my wed pm school!

 

Had to tie an aerial onto the top of some step ladders on the field outside the hall and run a 10m extension to get it to work with locking up!

Ok - last chance to vote eveyone

 

BTW if you want to see the video of me eating a hat then you'll need to provide proof (handheld camera/phone video acceptable that the streaming worked for you (for lets say 50% of the match )

 

Unsubstantied statements not accepted

It worked for us, we had no kids watching it and all teachers were able to view in one place. NM had it streaming on his PC, I'd say 95% stream time. As for a video, do you really want me to upload 90 min of video? Nah, I just want to see 30 sec of you eating your hat!

it was clearly stated in the T&Cs that video proof (not sworn statements -esp from teachers!) was required

 

To be fair - I don't think the internet/bbc iplayer melted down as I thought it would but I'd love to know why it didn't and how many simulantaneous streams were being served and from where etc etc.

 

Anyone KNOW about iplayer stream distribution?
