I think that this a.m. -- 3:30 playa-time -- I heard ranger or LEO communications breaking into the playacast stream. I couldn't tell what they were saying, but it was a pretty funny mashup with the Bruce Springstein that was playing. Anyone else caught this?

I don't know, but I noticed too that every now and then you can catch some ppl talking. Whether it be passers by or the ppl operating the cam I don't know, but it's pretty cool!

First of many attempts made yesterday yet I remain unable to connect with Playacast. Launched Quicktime & opened "rtsp://live.burningman.com/live.sdp" to veiw the webcast; its reads "Burning Man 2004 Streaming Video", it also reads "requested data" for several minutes then "-5408: Timed Out". Is the bandwidth log-jammed, am I doing something incorrect or what?

Nope. you're doing it right. The connection will timeout from time to time. you just have to keep trying.

Same thing happened last year. Too bad I'm not there now. I spent a ton of time and money getting a multicast together just for the event and I just could'nt make it this year.

Perhaps next year.

yep the bandwidth is tough at times. Tonight/today especially will be tough. I hope all goes smooth, lol, well smooth enough let's just say. haha..Yeah I was pondering ideas for a webcam too next year- but might wait & leave it too the real pros..hmm
