Addressing the Honcast Livecasting QQing

[[pd]RideMahBike]

I work at a radio station where we work with up to a 9 second delay. In order to do this, we have a $4000 delay machine (for lack of a better word)hard wired to a separate buffer so that we can dump the delay in case of swears, etc. Mind you, this is in a professional studio, but putting a high quality broadcast delay long enough to prevent ghosting takes a whole lot of expensive equipment and is so cost prohibitive for an organization like honcast that if they do figure out a working system for live streams I will be pretty surprised.

tldnr it's harder than it looks

P.S. Breaky, if you guys ever want to fly to the east coast, I could set you up with a 3 mic studio to broadcast live from

Heh, thanks for the backup man, appreciate it. As for the flying out to the east coast, will keep that in mind

Mhmm, it's pretty damn hard to get a working (and stable) media delay in place. We've ended up going down the route of a forced buffer with an RTMP handler we've developed managing the push/pull and actual buffering of the stream.
