Storm Chasing Live Stream

[Dorsetbred]

I've struggled continually trying to get it run, both on laptop chrome and on iPad puffin.

I can finally see a stream now even though it says offline....

Yep, it's not been great up to now - we're working on it though. Am just about to put a new player live on there to see if that helps. 

[Paul]

That's the new player live - some older android versions may not like it, but I'm hoping the pay-off will be the stream is more reliable. Please let me know how it goes though as we'll switch to another streaming system if this doesn't improve it.

lot better paul

[Paul]

We've switched to a new streaming system today, as the changes yesterday helped a bit but not enough. Hopefully (fingers very crossed) it'll be running a lot better from here on in - team should be chasing later, and the weekend / early next week looks very active..

im just wondering paul does the stream come with any audio or is it just image only?

[Paul]

It's video only most of the time as the bandwidth is very limited.

[simon-ferndown]

ahh right ok & thanks 

[Dorsetbred]

Well I cant get this player to run at all on desktop chrome or Firefox.

[davehsug]

No I can't connect either. Just the circle going round endlessly.

[chionomaniac]

This was the same area that had poor connectivity the other night, though Paul the streams on chasertv had better connectivity. Are they on different systems?

 

eg Charles Edwards at Mineral Wells currently.

They may be using different mobile operators, but we're trying to get to the bottom of things as something doesn't appear to be right.

Should be up now for people?

I know that it can be difficult in the field out there - especially as Ian can't be expected to check things as he is driving!

[davehsug]

Yep, thanks Paul!

[chionomaniac]

Yes lovely cauliflower

[Paul]

Cool, tis a bit of a mare this year for some reason but we'll figure it out!

[samadamsuk]

yeah you'll get there Paul. I can see those storms from the other side - look pretty meaty!

[Dorsetbred]

Thanks for working on trying to get it resolved

[Paul]

Well that's about 45 minutes of solid streaming in a poor signal area this afternoon, fingers crossed it continues...

[Dorsetbred]

Cant get it to stream, overtaken the same car 5 times but thats as good as I get. Live stream says online but it just wont stream live.It just sits and spins

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0676

   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

   0219 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013

   AREAS AFFECTED...SWRN KS...WRN OK...NW TX...FAR ERN OK/TX PANHANDLES

   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY 

	VALID 181919Z - 182015Z

   PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...95 PERCENT

   SUMMARY...SCATTERED TSTM INITIATION IS EXPECTED ON THE DRYLINE BY

   21-22Z. VERY LARGE HAIL...ISOLATED TORNADOES...AND DAMAGING WIND

   WILL BE POSSIBLE. WATCH ISSUANCE IS EXPECTED IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO.

   DISCUSSION...LATEST SFC ANALYSIS DEPICTS THE DRYLINE EXTENDING FROM

   SWRN KS INTO THE FAR ERN OK/TX PANHANDLES AND NW TX. VIS IMAGERY

   SHOWS CU INCREASING IN THE WELL-MIXED AIRMASS IN THE VICINITY OF THE

   DRYLINE ACROSS SW KS INTO THE TX PANHANDLE. WHILE ONE EMBEDDED VORT

   MAX IS MOVING NWD OUT OF THE AREA...ANOTHER EMBEDDED VORT MAX OVER

   SERN CO/NERN NM SHOULD AID IN CONVECTIVE INITIATION LATER THIS

   AFTERNOON. 

   THE 18Z DDC SOUNDING SHOWS VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES IN EXCESS OF 9.5

   C/KM IN THE 750-500 MB LAYER...WHICH WILL SUPPORT VERY HIGH TO

   EXTREME MLCAPE OF 3000-4000 J/KG IN AREAS AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE THIS

   AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. WHILE FLOW IS RELATIVELY

   MODEST...INCREASING SWLY MIDLEVEL FLOW IS SUPPORTING EFFECTIVE SHEAR

   OF 35-45 KTS AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE...WHICH WILL BE MORE THAN

   SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT UPON STORM INITIATION. 

   DISCRETE SUPERCELL ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED WITHIN THE FIRST 2-3 HOURS

   OF INITIATION...WITH VERY LARGE HAIL IN EXCESS OF BASEBALL SIZE THE

   PRIMARY THREAT. LARGE T/TD SPREADS AND RELATIVELY WEAK LOW-LEVEL

   SHEAR WILL LIMIT THE TORNADO THREAT INITIALLY...BUT A MARKED

   INCREASE IN THE LOW-LEVEL JET WILL INCREASE THE TORNADO THREAT

   TOWARD EVENING ACROSS MAINLY NWRN OK INTO SWRN KS...WITH ISOLATED

   STRONG TORNADOES POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS THAT CAN REMAIN DISCRETE

   AFTER 00Z. HOWEVER...STORM CONSOLIDATION IN A WELL-MIXED ENVIRONMENT

   MAY RESULT IN UPSCALE GROWTH AND A TRANSITION TO MORE OF A SEVERE

   WIND THREAT THIS EVENING...POSSIBLY LIMITING THE WINDOW OF

  OPPORTUNITY FOR A MORE ROBUST TORNADO THREAT.

It's running at the moment, the part of OK they were in earlier was a poor signal area, and it's always liable to drop out from time to time whenever they're on the move with the mobile signal being as it is.
