@aaronstuder I use RAID 10 for onsite, RAID 6 for my offsite backup.

6 to reduce cost for the secondary?

Yes, let me go with a smaller NAS device.

@scottalanmiller Yep and smells crappy from the feed lots and dairy's around Dalhart and Amarillo

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Denver -> Amarillo -> Dallas.

You got through Raton, NM to do that.

Thats a boring drive from Raton into Dallas

On Christmas Eve I watch Die Hard...

Looks like only some silly home user freebie email addresses likely to be an issue. Those people all have the option of good, free secure email if they need access like that, too.

What's weird is that Cox requires the use of TLS to download your email through pop or IMAP.

No wait, that's not odd. SMTP doesn't pass credentials, IMAP does. They are protecting the log in.

They require logon for sending too.

Wrong part of the connection, though. The SMTP to the other serves doesn't have the creds even if you enter them earlier.

I might not understand how email from a client device (like Outlook, Thunderbird) works with regards to SMTP, not MAPI/ActiveSync.

My understanding is that authentication is required to keep spammers from relaying through them.

They require credentials to relay outgoing messages to external domains, but incoming messages for cox.net the smtp server accepts without authentication.

@brianlittlejohn Sling is supposed to be beta testing their cloud DVR product starting this month on Roku devices. From what I read, they will eventually expand it to include other devices.

That will be nice... ready for them to test AppleTV, thats what I use

My Cable bill is dropping roughly $60/month (half of that is taxes on the cable tv side) so the $20 for sling.tv isnt bad.

I cancelled my cable and am going with sling.tv. There are about 3 channels I watch to watch live sports and that is pretty much it, so considerable savings over traditional cable, still expensive.

@Dashrender The bulk of it yes.

That's pretty impressive... I have quite a bit of blu-rays ripped and my plex server is only using 3TB

Look at Microsoft Virtual Academy:

But it's also a lesson in reasons to have a backup ISP, even at the level of the Level 3 folks.

Yes, there is no level at which you can get away from redundancy ISPs.

This is a good thing... But everybody needs a second ISP... Hopefully one that doesn't depend on L3, lol.

My primary doesn't depend on Level3!

Personally I'd recomend getting a used Sony FS100 or a Panasonic HMC150 used. connecting up HDMI out and sending that over a long HDMI or CAT6 to HDMI system to the TV.

Sadly, this is sounding like the simpliest solution at this time.

Its for a church so most likely all ran by volunteers, the simpler it is the better.

It's just that it's so limited - thinking in old terms. How many times have you solved a problem like this only to be asked to make a podcast out of the stream in the future - sure we can do that, we just have to throw away everything we already have and start over, because our analog system wasn't meant for that, or worse, trying to cobble together some solution that's a hack job.

I think Dash is right. I totally get the "keep it simple" point, but that's just setting yourself for being blamed for problems in a few days or years.

Why over complicate (and possibly overspend) on something for a situation that may or may not happen?

How far apart are the sanctuary and places they want the feed?

@dafyre said in analog video stream:

At my home church, they had a "broadcast" license for the music and such, so it wouldn't be an issue for our recordings to go up on vimeo...

That's normally how it is handled, AFAIK.

From when I worked for a church there was a pretty big price jump (from what I remember) from performing it live to broadcasting / podcasting the music used.

@Mike-Davis said in analog video stream:

@DustinB3403 There isn't a budget. Someone bought two TVs, and then came to me and asked me what else they needed. I guessing the TVs aren't smart TVs. Even if they are, I just tried taking a Foscam camera I had and going to it from the web browser in my samsung smart TV. It flat out didn't work. I could get to the web page, but the "server push" mode wouldn't work. (I knew the Active X mode wasn't going to work.) On my laptop, I only get audio if I download a plug in, so I don't think a camera like that is going to work on most TVs.

The other camera I have on my bench is a Ubiquiti Unifi G3 dome. I know I can't view that with a browser, so I'm going to have to set up a server just to test that unless I'm missing something.

Something you might be able to do which may be easier is to use an IP camera, and OBS, use the IP camera as a source within OBS and then make a youtube stream.

I've not got to try this before personally (using OBS and an IP camera) but I can't imagine it's not doable.

Oh, that's a potentially good idea. Get the video to YouTube then you don't have to worry about compatibility. The only issue is bandwidth.

Broadcasting on Youtube could bring in a whole new set of licensing issues for the music used during the service... just a thought.
