Broadcaster

As some of you are aware, this morning there are some issues on the video upload area.  Under broadcaster it uses the amazon S3 service for storage of videos.  For whatever reason this morning, the connection between broadcaster and amazon is not doing so hot.  We are shooting about 50/50.  About half of the time the upload works, about half it does not.  When it does not work, you get the page below after you upload.

Failed upload in broadcaster

When it works, you should see a screen like this.

Video Upload worked

At this time we are working to figure out why the connection to amazon does not work all of the time.  We will let you know more as we do.  For the now, just try to upload again, it works about half the time.

UPDATE: Amazon is reporting that s3 is back to normal.  Right from the horse’s mouth

In theory, this release should have been without notice.  Only minor changes to the dashboard.  The changes were largely to caching engine.  This is to support multiple instances of the application.

Version 1.6 of Broadcaster has been released.  This release includes a number of small enhancements and one big new feature.

• Fixed the login redirect bug
• Added ability to interface with gas buddy
• Accordion is now faster
• Twitter

The big new feature is twitter.  On the dashboard of broadcaster you can now see how many people are following you and what people are saying.

And then on the from you articles sections, you can directly tweet about a story

Once you click on the sky blue t, you will see this screen.
