  Works for me. (OSX/Chrome)

  Same issue here on 2 iOS devices.
  - simme_ 12y ago
    There is no Flash Player for iOS. I know Chrome for Desktop bundles Flash, but Chrome for iOS does not (at least as far as i know).
    - smcnally 12y ago
      Chrome iOS is working well for me the last few minutes. Listening to Systrom now.

Live streaming this is a very nice thing to do. Thank you!
lebek 12y ago
Why role their own live streaming tech when Livestream/Ustream seem to do a pretty good job? This stream is stuttering for me.. cutting out completely every minute or so.
- lalwanivikas 12y ago
  What speed connection are you using? Mine seems to work flawlessly.
  - awor 12y ago
    No problems on 5 mbit dsl for me...
    - tim333 12y ago
      fine here too, dsl, London
- kevin 12y ago
  We don't roll our own, we use a third party. Regardless, we're sorry for the issues everyone is having! Hopefully, it'll all get ironed out for everyone.
- vanisher 12y ago
  Would be nice if they had some kind of chatroom next to the stream as well. It's more enjoyable watching these kind of things when you can discuss in real time the topics being talked about on the stream.

If it isn't working for you, try this in VLC player: http://icv-live8.icvdm.cshls.lldns.net/icvdm/icv-live8/icv-live8.m3u8 http://icv-live8.icvdm.cshls.lldns.net/icvdm/icv-live8/icv-l...

Not working for me either. Says "Error loading stream: Could not connect to server" m3u8 link for vlc doesn't work for me either :(
- saganus 12y ago
  Aah. PerrBlock was affecting connection. For some reason Lime Light Networks, Inc is blocked in PeerBlock and it's used somehow by the stream. Just in case someone else is using PB.
journeeman 12y ago
Since the live stream isn't working, will the recorded videos be uploaded later?
- kevin 12y ago
  Yes, we'll put them on YouTube like the other Startup Schools. It does take awhile for us to transcribe the talks for closed captions, so that might take a week. but the videos will hopefully be up by Monday.
dang 12y ago
Since the live stream is sadly not working for most people, we downweighted this post. Somebody let me know if it starts working again! In the meantime, an HN user has been keeping live notes at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8442712 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8442712.

  Makes me wonder why those bittorrent-for-streaming-video startups never were able to take off. By the way, it's working now. Just have to keep refreshing.
  - timr 12y ago
    Startup School live video feeds have a long tradition of being horrible, not necessarily because streaming video doesn't work, but more often because Hundreds of Nerds With Wireless Devices means Bad Things for every wireless network within 1000 feet of the conference. When we did them on JTV, we had more than enough viewing capacity to handle the stream, but the uplink was always horrible, even when we had a "dedicated" network. When you have that many "sophisticated" users (i.e. bandwidth hogs) in one space, you're pretty much going to saturate any upstream bandwidth that hasn't been carefully provisioned for the event.

is it down?
dharma1 12y ago
was good for 10 mins.. oh well. looking forward to the recorded videos

What's going on with the live stream? . It sucks that it had to happen when the whatsapp founder is talking.
ashg 12y ago
It seems to be working now. For those who are on linux/chrome, use the 'user agent switcher' and change it to either IE9 or Firefox15, it will then switch it to flash player.
bruceb 12y ago
I missed the first part of the office hours. What was the first startup? The second was Kuons, the shopping list I think?
- jlangenauer 12y ago
  I think it's http://www.kuona.co/ http://www.kuona.co/
  - bruceb 12y ago
    ah, I spelled it wrong. Another user just posted the first one thanks.
- dropit_sphere 12y ago
  First one was divide.io, a backend-as-a-service for mobile apps. Super nice guys with a cool product.
  - bruceb 12y ago
    cool, thanks.
