I can't give you another +1 yet, but I will. Thanks, I liked seeing this diagram!
Thank you.
Now you can see why all that extensive stream testing/stress testing she was doing was not all that worthwhile - from the server outward that is stable, its the studio to server link that was having issues.
She makes reference to seeing that she is on the air from an indicator, that only tells her the stream is being generated, not that it is being received by the server.
As for stations if they can capture the stream from the server, anything beyond that is their own technical problem to solve.
I am not a technical expert, but the problem originates in equipment at the Pahrump studio and would not necessarily be solvable by 100 code monkeys and code ninjas combined.
