The selected plan was "all of them, at the same time", so [[Dan Wade]] installed the GPU and [[Ben Allen]] wrote up some FFMPEG [[Fuckary|fuckary]] to use it for transcoding. In the end, this one GPU could handle all six concurrent streams without breaking a sweat, and the VMs weren't actually used (though having them there as a safety net was definitely useful). Great! Surely all our woes were gone?

Oh yes there is. [[Marks Polakovs|Marks]], the first YSTV member on-site in Lancaster, discovered upon arrival that while the streaming VMs were fully provisioned and ready to go, IT Services hadn't yet unblocked port 1935, which was necessary for any streaming traffic to make it to them. This meant that all of this work was effectively moot, as we couldn't actually get any video out of Lancaster. Even less ideal. | Oh yes there is.
