Troubleshooting

From the MTSU Information Technology Division

Are you having problems with the Graduation stream/feed? Try the following:

1. If your computer lacks Windows Media Player, click on the Windows Media Player options above. Select the appropriate one for your computer, download it, and install it. Then retry by clicking on the "View Graduation Video" link above.

2. Your connection/feed is based primarily upon your Internet connection. A broadband connection (such as “Comcast” or the MTSU campus) will provide the best connection possible. With it, you should get a good audio and video stream.

If your connection is DSL or dial-up, you may only get an audio feed (and possibly a jumpy video). This is a limitation of your computer’s Internet connection. To optimize your reception in these cases, ensure the windows Media Player is the only program running and ensure the Windows Media Player is buffering the connection.

3. The image your computer receives is dictated by the ITD sending server, not your computer. While it’s possible to increase the size of the image, it’s fidelity will not increase (audio should not be affected). ITD intentionally keeps the image/feed small so that many users can simultaneously receive the feed.

4. If the clickable-link from the MTSU homepage won’t launch your Windows Media Player, try the following:

a. Download and install Windows Media Player onto your PC or Mac.
b. Launch your Media Player.
c. Windows Media Player should have the standard Microsoft box around it. If using Player 10 and you don't see the box, click on the small button on the upper left-hand corner of the Media Player image which will activate the Windows box.
d. Select File then Open URL.
e. Type in this phrase just as it is (but without the ““)

“mms://mtsu33.mtsu.edu/wmtencoder/gradlive”

f. This should open your Media Player and automatically connect to the MTSU streaming server. By default, your Media Player will buffer the stream (which is a good idea).

5. When the graduation ceremony ends, the broadcast will end and your Media Player will show a dark screen. You should close the Media Player at this time. The Graduation broadcasts will run from approximately 15 minutes before their start, and end approximately 15 minutes following the end of ceremonies.
