Join us for church?

I'll be setting up to stream our church service live again this morning. Hopefully the disconnection problems we had last week are gone with the settings changes I made. I have some independent Christian artists who have given permission to play some of their music before the sermon. I may start that as early as 9:45am (central).

Our pastor is starting a new Christmas sermon series this week. Looking at the schedule, it looks like the sermon may start about 11:10am or so. Its hard to guess how long the music, specials, announcements, etc will take before the sermon starts.

If you want to listen in, you can do that HERE. If you do tune in, I'd again be happy to know your feelings on the technical part of it to know what needs to be improved.

I wish Windows Media Player could play AAC+ streams. I was goofing around with some testing the other day and I was amazed at the audio quality for as low of bandwidth as it needed. It sounded much better than mp3 but for now we've gotta stick with the masses. We can't ask everyone to download a special player just for this, although it sounded so good, I'd almost like to.

Have a great Sunday morning!

No, we were far from full. I saw two IP's that were trying to connect but couldn't. You must have been one of them. I suspect it is an issue with the way the player is embedded into the popup window. I do know it works for some (including myself). Thanks for the report, this is the kind of thing I need to get worked out to make it easiest for everyone that wants to listen.

Thanks Ally. I saw one was listening for quite a while so that was you.

I was teasing the pastor after church . . . he asked me how many we had logged in and I said: "Well, we had one listener until your sermon started then that one left"

LOL. I warned him about that this week.

The way we've always done the audio at our church is that the speaker just turns the wireless on and then the sound guys turn him up/down at the sound board. For a couple reasons, I'm pulling the wireless mic out before the main mix. This week I warned him that his mic is being monitored all the time on the live stream now. He's being more careful to mute it when he's not wanting to be heard now.

This will change in a couple months. We are going to get a new HUGE mixing board and EVERYTHING will be run through it (like its supposed to be). The way it is now, the singers are mic'd through the board, but the instruments are all individually amped on stage. This is why the music sounds bad now, the instruments are not running through the mixer. They will be when we get the new mixer. Then everything should sound good on the live feed.
