LSC-VIRGO Meeting, Hannover, 22-25 October 2007

Remote participation

If you cannot come to the meeting, but would like to listen to the talks you can either use your phone to connect to the conference or you can try our live video stream. For more information, please continue reading.

Phone

Instruction how to connect by phone appear on the program.

Video stream

Our experience shows that receiving the video stream is easiest if you use the vlc player, which you can download at the vlc web page. After installing the client, please start it and open a network stream (File->Open Network Stream). There select http and enter the following information:

datagate.aei.uni-hannover.de:7070

When you hit OK, the stream should appear within a few seconds. Please note, that depending on the network distance between the server and you as well as the player you are using there might be a considerable delay. If you participate via video stream and by phone, do not forget to mute your line!

In principle a wide range of players should be able to play this stream, however, we have also seen a few players having problems. We try to maintain a small list of alternative players you may use, please keep us informed what works for you and what not! Thanks a lot

Players and problems

vlc

Reported to work on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu).
