Yes, and here is why...

In Response To: You mean you think the problem is with MLB's bandwidth -- nothing on our end?? (DNO) (MaaMaw)

Hi MaaMaw,

When you decide to put streaming audio or video on a website there are two basic methods of doing it. HTTP doesn't require server support, and is the most popular for websites that used shared server hosting. Here is a quote from www.rtsp.org:

HTTP is well suited for transfer of web pages. However, because HTTP is entirely based on TCP, which enforces reliability without regard to timeliness, it is not suited for use in multimedia presentations with timelines. Furthermore, TCP throttles the client-server connection based on the availability of bandwidth, and not on the needs of the media involved. HTTP has only rudimentary mechanisms for random access to files, and thus is not suited to time-based seeking. Finally, TCP is not at all suited to multicast.

RTSP is designed to work with time-based media, such as streaming audio and video, as well as any application where application-controlled, time-based delivery is essential. It has mechanisms for time-based seeks into media clips, with compatibility with many timestamp formats, such as SMPTE timecodes. In addition, RTSP is designed to control multicast delivery of streams, and is ideally suited to full multicast solutions, as well as providing a framework for multicast-unicast hybrid solutions for heterogeneous networks like the Internet.

What this means is that any site that is going to serve a lot of audio and video on a regular basis needs to have the support on the server for the RTSP protocol which tries to match the buffering and control the stream for the client (browser) receiving it. And it works well...

Now providing Grams harddisk has at least 3 gigabytes of free disk space that the computer (Windows) can use as virtual ram, the only thing that could be affecting the stream (providing Grams computer's RAM isn't being consumed by viruses, adware, spyware or other programs running in the background) is a choked bandwidth.

For Grams computer to communicate with the streaming server, her computer and the server are communicating by sending packets of data back and forth. Since the RTSP protocol is known to work extremely well, the only thing that could be delaying the transmission on a timely basis is that these machines are experiencing trouble communicating (i.e. sending these data packets) which is the result of a poor bandwidth connection between the two computers.

I found the website to be slow and clunky. It was early this morning when I tried it... so even though I have a cable connection I wouldn't be sharing the bandwidth with a lot of others on the same line.

Best Regards,
Steve MacLellan

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT.  It has been done before, but never successfully.  In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH:  I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday.  I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish.  I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?).  I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" 
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.
        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.  We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site.
        You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law.  You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual.  We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration.  If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board.
        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
