Playback Requirements and Help:

All streams are broadcast on the following ports:

TC/PIP on port 1755, 554 - Recommended Port!
UDP on ports 1024-5000
HTTP on port 443

Your hardware/software firewall must be configured to accept streams on these ports.

If you are experiencing constant rebuffering, then temporarily disable UDP streaming in Windows Media Player ( Tools|Options|Network).

Windows Media Player 9 or later is recommended to view these webcasts.

If you are unable to view this video then please do the following:

Identify your Windows Media Player version (Help|About Windows Media Player).

Either upgrade your Windows Media Player to Version 9, or add Windows Media 9 Codec Series support to your current player. See table below:

Operating System

Recommended Action

Mac OS 8.X or 9.X

Media Player 9 is N/A for this operating system.

Upgrade to Media Player 7. You will not be able to view Windows Media 9 streams. Yes, its annoying!

Mac OS/X

Upgrade to Media Player 9 for OS/X.

There is currently a "bug" in Windows Media Player for OSX that forces Windows Media Player to default to the lowest bitrate stream (i.e., 56k) irrespective of your connection bandwidth. This issue will likely be fixed in the next Windows Media Update.

If you would like to view a higher bitrate version contact jlittler@ryerson.ca. Please identify the webcast (date/time) and your internet connection speed. We will contact you with a temporary viewing link.

Linux

Purchase CrossOver Office Standard/Professional from CodeWeavers and install Windows Media Player. You will not be able to view Windows Media 9 streams but you will be able to view Windows Media 7-8 streams. It may be possible to install Windows Media Player 9, but it is not supported by CodeWeavers at this time.
