P2P test using Cloud VM's.

All your base are belong to us

The reason I'm writing my own P2P broadcast suite of applications is because every provider that offers this capability has a terms of service wherein they will own my content.
I don't own the content (it is donated by original songwriting artists) so I cannot agree to their TOS.

Now to use Facebook's login mechanism they want to own the content (see See 7.8 @ https://developers.facebook.com/policy/.). All I was doing was using them to allow you to login by using your facebook account. I didn't research the Twitter or Google login TOS but decided to ditch them all.

I've taken the last couple of months to write my own sign in / authentication functionality. Expect a new version soon which will require you to regiser with our site.

Welcome to Mad Buffalo Productions. I just went through my friends list and invited everyone that I remember attending a Club Malawi event (otherwise known as Paul's basement). Stay tuned, live shows coming soon.

Progressing nicely.
The live streams for remote feeds and studio broadcasts are working which brings us that much closer to 'go live'.
Huge strides have been made in stability, informative messages and progress bars.
Scheduled 24x7 streaming is rock solid.
Behind the scenes administration tools are already helping find and stamp out bugs and memory leaks.

A bit more code and then it's time to schedule a coordinated test where our friends will tune in at the same time and see how we do with real volume. I've been testing with 8 remote machines around the world in the Cloud and things look good.
Then it'll be time to schedule a real live Mad Buffalo show. We'll probably do Club Malawi first and then some remote feeds: Chicken Stock, Bellefonte Cafe, Tim's basement, the sky's the limit.

Mad Buffalo Productions is now broadcasting our archived videos.

Google users will notice a new scope request to validate you are over 18 (those Zane Campbell archives have been rated R by the My Delaware TV Ratings Association.)
Twitter does not provide an age so those users will need to be age verified by an admin.

The schedules are posted here https://www.madbuffaloproductions.com/sched.cgi
Our videos usually play at the top of the hour. At other times you might see other fun things.

As always, tune in here and please provide feedback https://swarm.mydetv.com:8992/

Peer to Peer Live Video Broadcasting *try googling ‘Peer to Peer Live Video Broadcasting’. You will find a bunch of ‘give us your money’ links, old links to dead code, and half baked ideas. Trust me, I’ve been working on this since 2005. See below for the background. The Swarm project is a...

We’re getting our site back up and in working order. https://www.MadBuffaloProductions.com has the details.

We can use help right now testing the broadcast (and other things). I’m working on a bug reporting and feature request interface but for now you can just comment here.

Our broadcasts are not going to work for everyone. The officially supported browsers are Chrome and Firefox. If you are behind a crazy firewall or still use two tin cans and a piece of string for internet access you might have problems. The broadcast is only looping a few clips right now until I get all of the archived video files transcoded into the right format.
