Scott Hanselman Friday on .NET Rocks! Live!

Scott Hanselman will join Rory and I Friday Feb 20, 2004 (today) at noon EST live on .NET Rocks!   He'll be talking about lots of things related to ASP.NET

Our new format is a 2 hour live show starting at noon EST. We edit the show over the weekend and make it available on the website the following Monday. You still get to listen to the download anytime, but you can win prizes and talk to the guests if you listen live.

With the intense northwest focus lately, wouldn't it be easier for you to move here instead of Rory moving there :-)?

Looking forward to the show!

Carl,

A quick suggestion might be to field questions over IM as well as Skype (sp?).

The noon EST time assures that almost anyone listening in the US will be at work (or should be looking for work :)

We are now taking *phone calls*, Skype calls, AND regular old text messages.

I get the following error

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. In the Open URL dialog, try opening the file using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").

Any suggestions?

We're having technical difficulties with the live stream. Stay tuned

It turns out that moving our encoder machine into the studio was most likely the culprit of our mayhem today. We only had 40 or so listeners, and we had a big intranet bottleneck. We only had 5Mbits out at the peak, and we have 10, so that wasn't it.

Anyway, we're going to have a testing and optimizing session over the weekend. The finished show sounds pretty good save for a few epoisodes of feedback, which we can mostly clean up.

I was only able to catch parts of the second half, media player kepy buffering out. From what I heard, sounded good, looking forward to hearing the full monty. Sounds like the frenchman is feeling a little better? Keep up the great work!

Wouldn't you still require a T3? I thought a 5MB line wouldn't be fast enough for the amount of listeners you guys get.

The frenchman is just about to pass out :)

Thought I'd check Carl's blog for any updates on the technical difficulties, but my stamina is quickly reaching its end. I'm beat... Can't wait for this stupid flu thing to be totally over.

Yeah my player was buffering out too (that sounds like an innuendo) but I'm looking forward to the recorded version. What I heard sounded good.

Man this has been one massive over problem.

The parts of the show that I could catch were great, but I can understand the diffuculties. At first I thought it was just the cable at my house, but when I went to the school and had the same problem, I knew it couldnt be me. Geoff and I had a nice long discussion about the show over some McDonalds, and was interesting to get filled in on the parts of the show i missed

We actually have 10 Mb but only 5Mb was utilized.

We're going to do some reading, tweaking, and testing over the weekend.

Carl,
I was (finally) able to tune into the .NET Rocks show once I moved to an address outside of my firewall... What ports are you broadcasting on? (I know you don't have them memorized, but I am able to stream audio/video from a variety of other sources so I'm guessing your doing something different...)

Overall, another great show, thanks.

Dan (and Carl),
I had the same error until I moved outside of the firewall. My guess is you are broadcasting on a blocked port...

HTH,
Cos

Interesting. We were supposed to be streaming over port 80. I will check that out.

Just on the subject of .NET Carl www.icsharp.com there #develop is a free IDE compiler which supports VB,C# and Java. Sadly though it doesn't have ASP.NET support but combined with ASP.NET Web Matrix you don't need to spend hundreds of dollors or even sometimes thousands on Visual Studio.NET.

The Http link handles the initial connection, but then it is redirected to a range of ports to handle the actual streaming. What ever streaming audio server you are using should tell you (and allow you to set) the ports you are going to use. Hope this helps.

Right. And, we have it set up on the media server to use HTTP. I have reports from people behind firewalls that they heard it ok, except that it was broken up.
