Todd Ritzman,
Pros:
I have checked the North, Central and South webcams.
The actually video picture quality of all three webcams is about the same as it was prior years.
There does seem be a slight slowness in the frame rate when something like the trees limbs are blowing.
But it does look like the frame rate will suffice for this application.
The nice feature about the HTML5 player live stream is it has a 4 hour buffer.
You can back-up and preview any where in the past four hours of the stream. Pretty Slick!
To return to live stream or real time, just click on live.
Cons:
There is one thing I notice different from prior years.
When the web cameras are moving through their pre-programmed tour or panning.
They do not move smoothly when they are panning, left, right up or down.
There is a little jerky-ness when they pan.
When I click on the gear icon and change the speed to 2 while in the live stream mode.
The camera panning smooths out a little, but the player starts to buffer and the speed setting keeps
automatically returning to the normal speed setting.
When I view anywhere in the preview stream and set the speed setting on 2, the camera panning is smoother. (like in prior years)
And the speed setting stays at 2.
I tested on IE, Firefox and Chrome Browsers with same results.
My download speed is 15.20 Mbps.
Zooming in and out is smooth.
When they are parked they look fine.
I was reading one of your recent
POST and you mentioned that you have lost your past bandwidth sponsor.
Are you dealing with the same bandwidth you had in the past?
Are you able to do a simulation bandwidth load test to see how many streams the system can handle?
By what you said it looks as though your feeds and distribution method has also changed.
Maybe the camera panning (small) issue is attributed to the above changes.
Hope the above info helps with the tweaking.
