When streaming with widows media encoder 9 sometimes the stream goes down or locks up. This post will address these issues. (The following was done on a win XP computer and it works.)

Part one.

How To Automate Live Streaming With Windows Media Encoder, Windows media Encoder reconnect.

This article will explain how to have Windows Media Encoder automatically reconnect (always stay encoding), and also explain how to have Windows Media Encoder automatically start encoding at boot up, for example in case of a power outage.
Saving Configuration

1. Save your Windows Media Encoder configuration as C:encoderconfig.wme
windows media pull tutorial
Downloading

2. Download this Zip file and unzip the two files ( reconnect.vbs and startencoding.bat ) onto your C:      WME Download files
Testing files

3. Make sure Windows Media Encoder isn’t currently running, and test the startencoding.bat file by double clicking it. You should see Windows Media Encoder start up, and a few seconds later start encoding.

Click “Stop Encoding” in your encoder and wait 10 seconds.  You should see your encoder automatically start encoding again.

If the encoder never started encoding and didn’t display an error, make sure reconnect.vbs is located on your C:.  You may also try double clicking it manually to test if it works (while the encoder is open).
Test Passed

Start encoding on reboot.

4. If the test passed, place a shortcut to startencoding.bat in your Startup directory by dragging it to Start -> Programs -> Startup

Computer Settings

5. Make sure your computer is set to automatically logon.

For 2000 and XP instructions, see below

Reboot the computer and make sure Windows Media Player starts and begins encoding.  You may also want to check your computer’s BIOS to make sure the power state will always be “ON” or “LAST” after a power outage.  If it is set to “OFF”, the most common default, your computer will not reboot in the case of a power outage.

Now you don’t have to worry about power outages or network anomalies, knowing that your encoding machine will always be encoding. Enjoy your newly found freedom!

WME Download Script files mentioned in post.

Part two

How to reset a WME webstream. Sometimes the stream locks up, server goes up and down or other anomalies take place. This is one method to reset stream every 4 hours (or whatever times you choose) This also could start and stop a stream during certain hours if autorestart script is disabled that is.

Solution setup a macro to start stop encoder 2 to 4 times a day! Also disconnects users so all bandwidth is not used by someone leaving there computer on all night. But most important keeps stream up.(it automates the mouse and mouse clicks!)

(Note old method below for restart purpose use encoder restart method explained above for that this is a reset or start stop time method)

Software Needed the new version is paid, the old version is free search for it if you need free version.

http://www.nkprods.com/nmacro/

nMacro Recorder 1.1

Name: nMacro Recorder
Version: 1.1
Price: FREE (only for non-commercial use)
Size: 375 KB
Release date: 23 SEP 2006
Category: Automation Tool

nmacro-recorder-1.1 (Its getting hard to find so here it is get paid version if you can but if a non-comm this is free)

Create macro to stop and start encoding of WME.
It records mouse movements and saves as a .bat or .exe file. So you can point windows scheduler to that file. Just record stop and start mouse clicks or stop and start as separate files. ( note screen size and position must be maintained of WME encoder because if it changes mouse will click in wrong place I just make WME window max size and make sure windows remembers its position)

After that use windows scheduler to run the macro at the times you choose like midnight and 6:00am. Note you must be logged in for windows scheduler to work. So make sure your automatic windows re-start* includes a autologon.

The following is optional. It is if you want an auto reboot, but you may consider a power outage an auto reboot so read on about autologin also.

*AUTO BOOT Shut Down, Restart, COMPUTER  Log Off XP Using A Batch File – Undocumented feature for XP
(Ok use this to create a .bat point windows scheduler to it once a week or 2 weeks or whatever this is optional but I include here because most computers need rebooted once in a while, you must do an autolog on hack so you do not see login screen, yet you still need a password, try it first if need do hack to logon. The follow is for a remote reboot in our case the remote is windows scheduler is all both will work)

How to shutdown a XP Pro computer when you are connected using RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) using a batch file or RPC (Remote Procedure Command) This is useful if you can’t get to the computer but have remote access to the computer via a network or the Internet.

First To show you what you will see at a command prompt (command.com) when you type: “shutdown /?” Without the ” ” on each end.

c:>shutdown /?
Usage: SHUTDOWN [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \computername] [-t xx] [-c "c
omment"] [-d up:xx:yy]

No args Display this message (same as -?)
-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-a Abort a system shutdown
-m \computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-c “comment” Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
-f Forces running applications to close without warning
-d [u][p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown
u is the user code
p is a planned shutdown code
xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)
yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536)

This is an undocumented feature in XP so I have not found any writeup about it on M$ and everything used here is from other sources. Do not use “cmd” to start the command interpreter (cmd.exe), but type “command” for (command.com. Now you can shutdown the computer by typing “shutdown -s” or to restart the computer type “shutdown -r”

To create a batch file for this you can use notepad, and save the file as .bat in c: (root directory) Here are the 3 most used batch files for shutdown:
1 save as down.bat
shutdown -s
2 save as restart.bat
shutdown -r
3 save as forcedown.bat
shutdown -f
4 save as logoff.bat
shutdown -l
5 save as rpcdown.bat (replace computername with the name of your computer )shutdown -s -m \computernameand this last one is fun in an enviroment using RPC

So that’s a piece of cake, the other options are self explanatory and if you need any help creating the batch file, ask and someone will help

Auto Logon

Here is more then you want to know about the subject most likely but knowledge is power as they say. Remember Windows Scheduler Requires a password so be careful and test this otherwise you may disable widows scheduler kind of the domino effect.

http://www.wtjrtv.org/engineering/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/passwordsxplogon.txt

 

In conclusion;

If all you want is auto restart and reboot on power outage you do not need to use widows scheduler and any of the auto log on methods would work.  You just manually reboot once in a while in that case. Or if you are not concerned about that just use the auto restart script.

So what if you are on a domain? The streamer or VOD computer for that matter does not have to join the domain, the mount points will work use VNC for remote connect. If you just have to join domain, (why?)  ignore auto logon part or experiment with it use auto reconnect script above at min.

 

All the data is posted here for the idea of a computer running all the time with a min of intervention. Needless to say strip it of all software not needed including AV, and windows update, never let it go to sleep or stand by and so on, but that is the topic of another post.

Intel

The current performance and market leader at the time of this writing is Intel.  Intel is currently the sole supplier of processors for all recent Apple computers (Macbook, Macbook Pro, Mini, iMac etc.) and are found in virtually all major computer manufacturer’s product lineups. Intel’s most current crop of CPUs are the Core iX-series processors which include the i3, i5 and i7; as of January 2011, these series of processors entered their 2nd generation (codenamed “Sandy Bridge” where the 1st generation was codenamed “Nehalem”, differences explained under the special features section).

AMD

AMD is the second largest supplier of processors for personal computers.  Many of their products are found in both high-performance and budget-oriented notebooks as well as low-cost, enthusiast-oriented desktop builds.  The Phenom II and Fusion platforms comprise AMD’s most popular and mainstream offerings at the time of this writing.

Beneath, we provide a chart which compares the relative performance between competing product lines within Intel’s and AMD’s offerings. These are organized by the following three classes: high-end, mid-range and economy.  It is important to note that though this comparison offers a reference of relative performance within each brand, it does not necessarily indicate absolute rankings between competing Intel and AMD products (for instance, the Core i7 is in the same row and category as the Phenom II series but offers superior general performance). Further, the Core iX Mobile series only indicate relative performance for notebook platforms — that is, it is generally not useful to compare them to desktop processors such as the Intel Core i7 or the Phenom II series.

(2nd generation “Sandy Bridge”)

Intel Core i7 As Intel’s flagship processor, the i7 is a 64-bit processor offering either 2, 4, or 6 cores of the highest levels of general performance available.  The i7 combines Hyper Threading and Turbo Boost technologies for the most demanding and advanced of applications.

Intel Core i7 Mobile  Intel’s Core i7 Mobile features unparalleled performance on notebooks, incorporating significant power savings while implementing the same features as the non-mobile i7, Hyper Threading and Turbo Boost. The i7 Mobile is available on notebooks with 2 or 4 cores; currently the 4 core version offers higher performance in some respects but heat and battery life are concerns.

AMD Phenom II X6 AMD’s Phenom II X6 represents the industry’s first consumer class six-core processor. The X6 offers the highest levels of performance ideal for the most intensive of tasks – bolstered by AMD’s new Turbo Core technology, the X6 is able to optimize performance in a variety of situations.

(2nd generation “Sandy Bridge”)

Intel Core i5 Based upon the same architecture as the i7, the i5 is also a 64-bit processor that features 2 or 4 cores at a similar class of performance of the i7 processor at a lower cost. The i5 features Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading technology but do not possess as much cache memory as the i7.

Intel Core i5 Mobile The Intel Core i5 Mobile while also featuring Hyper Threading and Turbo Boost possesses a similar but lesser class of performance than the Core i7 Mobile with less cache and available in notebooks only with 2 cores. The Core i5 Mobile is a high performance processor with low energy requirements.

AMD Phenom II X4 AMD’s latest generation of consumer class 4 core processors, the quad-core Phenom II X4 chips are designed to deliver performance ideal for all kinds of multimedia as well as in the most demanding of applications such as virtualization.

(2nd generation “Sandy Bridge”)

Intel Core i3 Derived from the same architecture as the higher end i5 and i7, the i3 is available strictly as a dual core processor. Though Hyper Threading is available, it does not feature TurboBoost. The Core i3 processor presents higher levels of performance than the Core 2 at a smaller cost.

Intel Core i3 Mobile The Intel Core i3 Mobile descends similarly from the i3, presenting a fast, 64-bit computing experience with the intelligent architecture of the i5 Mobile and i7 Mobile. The i3 Mobile features 2 cores and Hyper Threading but does not include Turbo Boost technology

AMD Phenom II X3 & X2 AMD’s Phenom X3 and X2 processors boast 3 or 2 cores that offer excellent performance value; great for all around usage on a small budget all while utilizing AMD’s latest architecture technology seen in the Phenom II X4 series

Intel Core 2 Quad The Core 2 Quad features 4 processing cores to optimize gaming, video, and image processing. Built on the same architecture as the Core 2 Duo, this processor excels on multi-tasking with performance hungry applications.

Intel Core 2 Extreme Available in both 2 and 4 core versions, distinguishing features of the Extreme series include higher bus speeds than the non-extreme versions, and an unlocked clock multiplier for further customization of your computing performance.

Intel Core 2 Duo Contains two processing cores to optimize gaming, video, and image processing. Laptops with this chip tend to be thinner and and more energy-efficient.

AMD Phenom I X3 & Phenom I X4 AMD’s first generation of consumer class processors featuring quad and triple core performance found in desktop builds. Features 64-bit computing performance as well as AMD’s HyperTransport bus technology.

Intel Pentium Dual Core Dual core processor based on the Core microarchitecture. A class beneath the Core 2 Duo and Core Duo of Intel’s processor offerings, the Pentium Dual Core is available in current desktops and laptops.

AMD Turion II Ultra / AMD Turion II The Turion II and Turion II Ultra are AMD’s mainstream mobile processor platform; they provide excellent all-around performance for multimedia such as high definition video. As these are often paired with AMD/ATI graphics, budget configurations containing these processors are also sufficient for basic 3D graphics and gaming.

Intel Core Duo / Intel Core Solo The Intel Core Duo and Core Solo are dual and single core processors based on the Core microarchitecture. The Core Duo and Core Solo offers modest performance for office and limited multimedia oriented tasks.

AMD Athlon II X2 The AMD Athlon II X2 is a 2 core desktop processor that is 80% faster than it’s single core counterpart. Great for multitasking and multimedia consumption on a budget.

Intel Centrino/Centrino Duo A mobile-oriented processor based upon Pentium M or Core Duo architectures; the Centrino also integrates wireless networking technology allowing for smaller sized laptops. Offers slight performance boost over simply choosing a core duo and dell wireless card (which is typically less expensive.)

AMD Sempron The AMD Sempron is a budget class processor seen in low cost notebooks and desktops and are considered a class above netbook/nettop processors such as the Intel Atom or the AMD Neo platforms.

Intel Atom Primarily found in netbooks and nettops, this processor has been designed with price and power consumption in mind. As a result, it offers much less processing power than other current Intel alternatives. This processor is available in 1 or 2 cores, with the single core option being far more prevalent.

AMD Athlon Neo / Neo X2 The Athlon Neo and Neo X2 are single and dual core processors seen in ultra-mobile platforms such as netbook and nettops. They are featured with ATI integrated graphics for reasonable multimedia playback performance.

Intel Celeron Intel’s economy model processor. It is the most basic, and thus the slowest. It has less cache than other Intel processors, so even if it has the same Ghz rating as another processor, it will be slower. We usually do not recommend this processor because it offers the least in terms of longevity.

MAJOR CHIP TECHNOLOGIES

It’s usually pretty easy to tell memory module form factors apart because of physical differences. Most module form factors can support various memory technologies so, it’s possible for two modules to appear to be the same when, in fact, they’re not. For example, a 168-pin DIMM can be used for EDO, Synchronous DRAM, or some other type of memory. The only way to tell precisely what kind of memory a module contains is to interpret the marking on the chips. Each DRAM chip manufacturer has different markings and part numbers to identify the chip technology.

FAST PAGE MODE (FPM)

At one time, FPM was the most common form of DRAM found in computers. In fact, it was so common that people simply called it “DRAM,” leaving off the “FPM”. FPM offered an advantage over earlier memory technologies because it enabled faster access to data located within the same row.

EXTENDED DATA OUT (EDO)

In 1995, EDO became the next memory innovation. It was similar to FPM, but with a slight modification that allowed consecutive memory accesses to occur much faster. This meant the memory controller could save time by cutting out a few steps in the addressing process. EDO enabled the CPU to access memory 10 to 15% faster than with FPM.

SYNCHRONOUS DRAM (SDRAM)

In late 1996, SDRAM began to appear in systems. Unlike previous technologies, SDRAM is designed to synchronize itself with the timing of the CPU. This enables the memory controller to know the exact clock cycle when the requested data will be ready, so the CPU no longer has to wait between memory accesses. SDRAM chips also take advantage of interleaving and burst mode functions, which make memory retrieval even faster. SDRAM modules come in several different speeds so as to synchronize to the clock speeds of the systems they’ll be used in. For example, PC66 SDRAM runs at 66MHz, PC100 SDRAM runs at 100MHz, PC133 SDRAM runs at 133MHz, and so on. Faster SDRAM speeds such as 200MHz and 266MHz are currently in development.

DOUBLE DATA RATE SYNCHRONOUS DRAM (DDR SDRAM)

DDR SDRAM, is a next-generation SDRAM technology. It allows the memory chip to perform transactions on both the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle. For example, with DDR SDRAM, a 100 or 133MHz memory bus clock rate yields an effective data rate of 200MHz or 266MHz. Click here for more on DDR. Click here for more on DDR.

DOUBLE DATA RATE 2 SYNCHRONOUS DRAM (DDR2 SDRAM)

DDR2 is the second generation of Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory. It is an evolution of DDR memory technology that delivers higher speeds (up to 800 MHz), lower power consumption and heat dissipation. It is an ideal memory solution for bandwidth hungry systems and the lower power consumption is a perfect match for today’s mobile users. Click here for more on DDR2.

DOUBLE DATA RATE 3 SYNCHRONOUS DRAM (DDR3 SDRAM)

DDR3 is the third generation of Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory. Similar to DDR2, it is a continuing evolution of DDR memory technology that delivers higher speeds (up to 1600 MHz), lower power consumption and heat dissipation. It is an ideal memory solution for bandwidth hungry systems equipped with dual and quad core processors and the lower power consumption is a perfect match for both server and mobile platforms. DDR3 modules available in the second half of 2007.

DIRECT RAMBUS

Direct Rambus is a DRAM architecture and interface standard that challenges traditional main memory designs. Direct Rambus technology is extraordinarily fast compared to older memory technologies. It transfers data at speeds up to 800MHz over a narrow 16-bit bus called a Direct Rambus Channel. This high-speed clock rate is possible due to a feature called “double clocked,” which allows operations to occur on both the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle. Also, each memory device on an RDRAM module provides up to 1.6 gigabytes per second of bandwidth – twice the bandwidth available with current 100MHz SDRAM. – http://www.kingston.com/tools/umg/umg05a.asp

To watch WTJR Webstream go here http://www.wtjr.org/watch-online

Hello the purpose of this project is stream WTJR on web for as cheap as possible.
WTJR WEBSTREAM PROJECT.

Items required: Video capture card- VIEWCAST OSPREY-100 (or better model, 210, 230,..) $130. Win xp computer – parts $300 (Newegg or Tiger direct) -strip the computer of all start-up and automatic apps. LCD Monitor $150  (I went with a KVM switch instead) UPS power supply CyberPower Home/Office CP685AVR 685VA 390W UPS – Retail $61.99. Audio video wiring to Webstream computer $50 (Program out from source). Video Hum eliminator: (if needed I did at source it works better on that end) Jensen VB-1BB Composite Video Isolator $80. Audio Hum eliminator: (if needed I did) Behringer HD400 2-Channel Hum Destroyer $30.

Webstream Server: Monthly Webstream charge at http://windows.media.serverroom.us/ (or another server)
Service Levels: Windows Media 50 (we used this at first and it works and is cheap 10x cheaper then most, we now have a corp server so we no longer use this.)

DSL 1.5 Meg or better Internet connection:  Upgrade service (done no charge) now 812KB upload speed we will use 300KB for webstream (we are using our DSL with higher upload requested, most have this or better just check to make sure…)

This project is done and now up and running. Notes to follow.

Setup:
Streaming with the Windows Media Encoder 9 series: (At serverrrom.us your setup may be a little different if on a WAN )

In order to broadcast you should have the following components and/or software:
A. Windows Media 9 Encoder (Download software for local computer its free do a search for it to find link)

B. Video encoding card must be software based with windows drivers!
Not mpeg 2 hardware based!. Surprisingly some of the cheaper cards word better in this regard. OSPREY-100 or better is a good pick.

C. Access to a Windows media streaming server. (remote server).

D. DSL or above.

STEP 1 – After starting up the Windows Media Encoder and starting a new session, choose “Broadcast a live event”.

STEP 2 – Next, select, the devices you wish to use to broadcast with.

STEP 3 – Select your broadcast method. (Push method).

STEP 4 – Enter your server address and publishing point. . You will also be prompted for a user name and password.

STEP 5 – Select your desired encoding rates.

STEP 6 – Select whether or not you would like to record your broadcast to a file on your local machine. (Optional.)

STEP 7 – Choose if you would like to use additional files along with your broadcast devices.

STEP 8 – Enter your broadcast information. (Title, author, etc.).

STEP 9 – Click “Start Encoder” button.

CONGRATULATIONS! You are now broadcasting !

That is till server locks up and you need to reconnect! (click encoder stop/start button) This happen once every 48 hours at random so read below.

Solution setup a macro to start stop encoder 2 to 4 times a day! Also disconnects users so all bandwidth is not used by someone leaving there computer on all night. But most important keeps stream up.(it automates the mouse and mouse clicks!)

(Note old method below use encoder restart method explained later)

http://www.nkprods.com/nmacro/

nMacro Recorder 1.1

Name: nMacro Recorder
Version: 1.1
Price: FREE (only for non-commercial use)
Size: 375 KB
Release date: 23 SEP 2006
Category: Automation Tool

Create macro to stop and start encoding.

After that use windows scheduler to run the macro at the times you choose like midnight and 6:00am. Note you must be logged in for windows scheduler to work. So make sure your automatic windows re-start includes a login.

(End old method restart encoder)

REBOOT:
In addition set computer to auto reboot one time per week.
You must have auto windows login set up (a reg hack), and auto encoder start see below, and a macro to get encoder full screen again ( a encoder .bat file that starts and stops encoder would eliminate all macros I have not found that .bat file that stops encoding.)

Encoder restart:

How To Automate Live Streaming With Windows Media Encoder, Windows media Encoder reconnect.

This article will explain how to have Windows Media Encoder automatically reconnect (always stay encoding), and also explain how to have Windows Media Encoder automatically start encoding at boot up, for example in case of a power outage.
Saving Configuration

1. Save your Windows Media Encoder configuration as C:encoderconfig.wme
windows media pull tutorial
Downloading

2. Download this Zip file and unzip the two files ( reconnect.vbs and startencoding.bat ) onto your C:
Testing files

3. Make sure Windows Media Encoder isn’t currently running, and test the startencoding.bat file by double clicking it. You should see Windows Media Encoder start up, and a few seconds later start encoding.

Click “Stop Encoding” in your encoder and wait 10 seconds.  You should see your encoder automatically start encoding again.

If the encoder never started encoding and didn’t display an error, make sure reconnect.vbs is located on your C:.  You may also try double clicking it manually to test if it works (while the encoder is open).
Test Passed

4. If the test passed, place a shortcut to startencoding.bat in your Startup directory by dragging it to Start -> Programs -> Startup
windows media pull tutorial
Computer Settings

5. Make sure your computer is set to automatically logon.

For 2000 and XP instructions, see below

Reboot the computer and make sure Windows Media Player starts and begins encoding.  You may also want to check your computer’s BIOS to make sure the power state will always be “ON” or “LAST” after a power outage.  If it is set to “OFF”, the most common default, your computer will not reboot in the case of a power outage.

Now you don’t have to worry about power outages or network anomalies, knowing that your encoding machine will always be encoding. Enjoy your newly found freedom!
