When I click the start button, the Omnicast Presentation page loads but the Media Player Status bar repeatedly displays Connecting?
This is usually a firewall issue. IQue’s video streams are designed to stream through firewalls, but at the same time to stream the video using the latest streaming protocols. On the Internet, there are many different protocols to transport data, HTTP, FTP, UDP, MMS, RTSP, TCP, etc. IQue uses many of these protocols to transport video over the Internet. IQue’s preferred protocol is MMS/RTSP. Most firewalls in large corporations block these protocols. When you try to watch an IQue video stream, IQue’s video broadcast center starts sending the video using MMS/RTSP. If the server does not get a response back from your Media Player, then the server assumes that the MMS/RTSP stream did not get to the Media Player. The server then retransmits the video using TCP, if there is no response, then the server retransmits the video using HTTP. In a few rare cases, due to the Internet connection speed or the firewall and other issues, the time it takes for IQue’s video servers to actual get a stream
