HI all,
I just want to question this: I have a 2MBit adsl, and i don't have any problems with other video source (Youtube for ex.), but i can't see GMC videos without waiting at least 5 minutes to load them.
Does it happen to anyone of you? Is the server overloaded or just me?

Thanks

Which browser are you using (which version)? And which version of the Flash plugin are you using? And are you running any of those "Internet Security Suites" such as Norton, McAfee,etc?

Hey is that Andre Olbrich of Blind Guardian on your avatar? He's great guitarist! Love his solos - they are simple but so F!"#&( great!

And - i have no problems with the videos - i can open them in IE, Mozilla and Opera and they work fine for me.

on the main page of GMC, locate Kris' welcome video

right click it and go to Settings

locate the Local storage slider by clicking the tab with the folder icon on it along the bottom of the settings window and jack it up to Unlimited.

save it by clicking close, reload the browser and try again

doing this will increase the buffer of the flash plugin and should let the video start playing properly before it downloads completely

Good advice - everyone should do this. This will be especially helpful for people on a slow connection - I would definately recommend you to set the slider to "unlimited".

Sorry for bumping this thread but I have this problem too and it's damn annoying. It takes like 30 minutes to load a video and as you can imagine it's torture..

I've set it on "unlimited" and I got 8 mbit broadband. I think I got a bad connection to the host server for this site, any ideas? Please help me because it's hard to learn anything if it takes so long to load different parts of a lesson.

I am having problems with the videos stopping and starting. I have taken advice and I have been told it is probably to do with the server being located in the States! (And the amount of traffic on the site!). Kris, you were looking into the problem - any updates?

I'm curious how the load balancing will work - standard DNS swithching, or something more sophisticated based on hop number? Maybe that's one for Henrik smile.gif

Maybe it is smile.gif

As the main problems are with the videos, we will start by sending our european users to the new server only when watching a video, based on IP-numbers. If you have a european IP, you'll load the videos from a different subdomain (europe.guitarmasterclass.net or something like that) than the users from north america.

The other parts of the site will initally remain on the US server. If everything works well, we will most likely mirror more of the site on the EU server in the next step though.

The servers will be mirrored using rsync, btw. Overall it's a quite simple solution. But effective, I hope smile.gif

Very cunning smile.gif And I'm a big fan of rsync cool.gif How can we fail with technical backup of this caliber ??

For that to work, you'd need to be generating the lesson pages dynamically I guess?
