Re: Webcast Encoder URL update - Release Notes
Hi! It's Wednesday at noon Mountain time. I've tried spinning up a couple sample meetings with these new settings, and my Teradek won't connect. "Address not found." I get similar errors on Teradek's webpage and its front panel display.
From another machine on a totally separate network, ping fails:
MACHINE:~ johnchapman$ ping rtmp://lehiutahgatewaystake2.mhwebcast.churchofjesuschrist.org/169P/242654db2f3d46a1b
ping: cannot resolve rtmp://lehiutahgatewaystake2.mhwebcast.churchofjesuschrist.org/169P/242654db2f3d46a1b: Unknown host
Traceroute, too, because of length I assume:
MACHINE:~ johnchapman$ traceroute rtmp://lehiutahgatewaystake2.mhwebcast.churchofjesuschrist.org/169P/242654db2f3d46a1b
traceroute: hostname "rtmp://lehiutahgatewaystake2.mhw..." is too long
This fails too:
MACHINE:~ johnchapman$ traceroute rtmp://lehiutahgatewaystake2.mhwebcast.churchofjesuschrist.org
traceroute: unknown host rtmp://lehiutahgatewaystake2.mhwebcast.churchofjesuschrist.org
Maybe DNS still hasn't propagated?

Re: Webcast Encoder URL update - Release Notes
chapmanjec - noon was when we were pushing the new code. Please try again and DM me if you continue to experience problems. At this point everything appears to be working as expected.

Re: Webcast Encoder URL update - Release Notes
Make sure you update the Quick Start Guide and Complete Guide with the new Encoder URL setup options.
And thanks for adding 15 minute increments to the duration of scheduled meetings! This will help.

Re: Webcast Encoder URL update - Release Notes
When the ward at the other end of the stake plugs the Teradek encoder in during the preroll period this coming Sunday morning, is it going to work, i.e., autoconfigure as it has been doing for the last several years? Or do I need to travel out there to the stake center and do something first?

Re: Webcast Encoder URL update - Release Notes
I tried it earlier, the new encoder setup wasn't working/mapping correctly (as of about 1:00 PM PST), but now (4:30 PM PST) it's working for me...

Re: Webcast Encoder URL update - Release Notes
On more careful reading of the Release Notes, it says, "There is no change to auto-config functionality. Registered devices currently using auto-config can continue using it." And later it says, Registered devices will automatically be upgraded to an Encoder URL."
This tells me I do not need to do anything with my currently autoconfigured Teradek encoder.

Re: Webcast Encoder URL update - Release Notes
We could not reach the servers assigned for webcasting.
Summary: The commands Tracert and NSlookup can not find the webcast servers.
Servers:
o Teradek VidiU rtmp://MHW-5-155798.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/169P
o New Encoder URLs rtmp://boyntonbeachfloridastake1.mhwebcast.churchofjesuschrist.org/169P
Worked with Athens Georgia Stake (448354), on Thursday pm, 18Feb2021.
Everything we tried failed to connect to the servers.
Tried our Boynton Beach Florida Stake (2018888) webcast set up for our stake conference this Sunday with the same issue.
Tested on Thursday pm, 18Feb2021, and Friday am, 19Feb2021.
DNS server: dsldevice6.attlocal.net
On Friday am, 19Feb2021, switched to the church's VPN connection, which provides a 10. address, with the same issue.
DNS server: ns1.ldschurch.org

Auto-config will work as it has and update encoders using it to the static RTMP information.lajackson wrote:On more careful reading of the Release Notes, it says, "There is no change to auto-config functionality.

This tells me I do not need to do anything with my currently autoconfigured Teradek encoder.
