As mentioned in a previous blog, we’ve been streaming now for a while, only a test stream though. Well we’ve had various issues with our broadcasting software crashing, the longest the streams would last when unattended were about 8hrs, sometimes not even that.

Well there had to be a better way of doing this, and of course there was, The software we are using supports multiple databases, we were only using the in-software DB, so I installed another instances of mysql on the computer (not server) from which the broadcast was coming from, this helped create some stability but of course the software had to be slightly alterd in configuration to work with this type of database.

Long story short, since doing this, we’ve now been streaming for123 hours and 54 minutes and the stream has not gone down once.
