I just found out our streaming server company is in the process of updating thier server to allow to some exciting upgrades. I jumped into starting the re-encoding process of all of our videos and I wanted to see if the new enhancements help any of you who might have had problems viewing some of our videos in the past. If you have a large enough monitor going into full screen will play the full HD version of the video if your computer and internet speed is fast enough. If not it will play the next quality version down automatically. This should work much like ABC and other network videos.

You can click on the link above to view one of our latest videos on the Umpqua River. What the new enhancements should do is detect what your internet bandwidth is and play the appropriate video for not only what your internet speed can handle but also what your computers CPU is capable of playing. We have four different video encoded that will automatically switch depending on your CPU and connection speed. There are still a few bugs that the server is working out but for the most part it should work pretty smoothly. Take a look at the video and let me know if you notice any improvements or any problems you might have. Thanks for the feedback!

I am very impressed now... I can actually watch a video in google chrome.... But i cant pause it for too long or it restarts.

Everything looked good Chad. Only issue If I paused the video it would restart .
