Wildlife@Home: slow video streaming

[RSS]

I think we might have found the culprit for videos that are streaming slowly.I made some changes such that if the full video duration was less than the streaming video size (5, 10, 20 minutes) then i just used the video files generated for BOINC work units (instead of creating a copy of them for streaming). It looks like the settings for generating those videos were resulting in videos a lot larger than the ones used for streaming.I'd like to check this. For the videos that are playing slowly, are they all coming videos in the watermarked directory? Their source would look something like this:http://wildlife.und.edu//share/wildlife/watermarked/oil_development/2012/sharptailed_grouse/Blaisdell/150.7601_hatch/5-15-12_1507601/CH00_20120517_005936MN.mp4as opposed to:http://wildlife.und.edu//share/wildlife/streaming_2/oil_development/2012/sharptailed_grouse/Blaisdell/150.7601_hatch/5-15-12_1507601/CH00_20120517_005936MN.mp4Where is where most streaming videos should be coming from.
