All our church webcasts were down this morning at 9 AM

This morning between 8:30- 9:05 AM (and possibly earlier than 8:30), nobody could connect to the RTMP servers. It was an immediate rejection, that the host name wasn't valid (we use OBS which told us). Even when I created another broadcast, I couldn't connect to that either. This affected 3 of our stake's sacrament meetings. Did anyone else face this issue? Do we know what went wrong?

We connected for our 9:00 am sacrament meetings without any problem. Perhaps it was a server issue? US West 2 and US Central were fine this morning.

Someone else reported that the staging didn't happen. That is, the server wasn't available until the event start time. Speculation is it was due to daylight saving change last night.

That may make sense. We saw the message change from something about "host not found" to a "can't connect" right at around 9 AM.

Last week (not today) we had over a dozen members try to tune in an hour late to their sacrament meetings. I think they may have been on the old transition schedule. After all, it has only been 13 years since the change. [smile]

Maybe they are running Windows XP or Vista?

To avoid problems with our webcasts. I opened and re-saved them. The result was new links. (sigh)

Just so we're on the same page, are you referring to Mountain Time or somewhere else?

Yes, MST. Servers were on US West.
