3. Make sure that you have removed your lens cap from the camera
4. Make sure that the camera is not in Demo mode. Some cameras must have a tape in the
deck to leave demo mode. Others need you to leave the tape deck open, in order to play
without recording on the camera. Check the user manual to find out how to optimize
your camera for your purposes.
5. Make sure that you have selected the appropriate video input mode (S-Video or
Composite video). This is configurable within the Encoder settings menu, at http://
www.vbossengage.com/engage when logged in as a channel admin.
6. Is your camera compatible with the VBrick appliance?
a. There are converters in your VBoss accessory kit for S-Video, Composite, and RCA
video cables, and converters for RCA and mini-jack audio. These are the input types
that VBrick supports. If your camera does not use one of these types of cable, you
must supply your own converters to adapt to one of VBrick’s accepted input types.
Converters are probably available at your local electronics store.
b. VBrick supports Sony cameras. If you continue to have camera issues, we
recommend the use of a Sony camera.
My VBrick appliance is displaying “HTTP Push Problem” on the LCD panel,
and I cannot view my live video.
1. Your live stream is set to Off-Air. Browse to http://www.vbossengage.com/engage and
log in as a channel admin. Go to the Live Webcasting menu and set your stream to On-
Air.
2. Your network’s proxy server is blocking the streaming media. Speak to your network
admin, and add the VBrick appliance’s IP address or MAC address (depending on your
network setup) to your proxy server’s list of exceptions, and also add an exception, both
inbound and outbound, for the push server domain, streamos.com.
Akamai streams require authentication, so not only does the VBrick appliance push
streaming video via HTTP, but Akamai also returns an authorization to the brick via
HTTP, which will be blocked by many secure networks. Network administrators need to
both allow the VBrick to send video out, as well as allow streamos.com to send data in to
the network, in order for the stream to be successful. If this is not feasible within certain
networks, the customer may need to be switched to another CDN, such as Powerstream,
or Highwinds, which does not use HTTP authentication, and will not return these errors.
3. Your event is at a hotel, which uses a splash page (a pop-up window that asks for your
password before you may use the hotel’s internet connection). The VBrick appliance
cannot negotiate with this splash page to gain access to the network, so you must ask the
hotel network admin to disable the splash page for either the IP address or the MAC
address of your brick, depending on their network configuration.
4. Your stream was left On-Air for a few days without the VBrick appliance plugged in.
Now, when you plug in the brick, you receive an error “HTTP Push Problem.” Our
CDN, Akamai, will deactivate your stream if it is left On-Air with no content streaming
for more than 2 days. Call VBrick support at 203-303-0222 to have your live stream
refreshed.
5. You log in to as a channel admin, and go to turn your stream on-air, but you do not see
the Change Live Stream Status button. This probably means that your live event has
expired. Please call VBrick support at 203-303-0222 to have your stream revived.
