| First time doing a non-test livestream, disliked having to get an IP from ITS. Found the reason why the graphics PC wasn't working because the RAM had popped out during transit, involved scampering back to the studio from D-bar and getting a screwdriver.

| Was awake for over 24 hours. Rebuilt OB2, making it utilise the VideoHub. Had issues with a HDMI patch panel. Stopped the villainous [[Andrew Waddle]] once again from fiddling with OB2's VideoHub patching. Found out that graphics had to be played on the DSK. Many thanks to [[Sophie Bolwell-Davies]], and her tech help/expertise.

| Was awake all night trying to get the [https://github.com/ffplayout playout system] to work. Eventually got it working during testing, didn't realise Facebook had no audio, YouTube stream was being processed by ffmpeg instead of passing-through, playout server's ffmpeg config was incorrect and caused the playout server to be restarted many times. Resolved before the end though. Then exported a final version reaching about 39GB in size for VOD to replace the live-recorded version with it's many technical difficulties.
