We did have a similar problem, when we were feeding the stream from 2 different studios with 2 different Edcasts. Board Ops were forgetting to turn OFF the inactive studio's Edcast when the studio changed, so both Edcasts were feeding at the same time, and we got both speed-ups and slow-downs until the silent one was turned off. In our case, we fixed the problem when we switched from Barix to Tielines for the STL and used one of the old Barixes to feed the stream from further down the air chain. The stream now automatically follows the studio switches made with the Tielines. --Chuck W. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
