    Streaming Video Server Maintenance - Tuesday 22 Feb 2022

    On Tuesday 22 February 2022, RRC Polytech's ShareStream video server will undergo necessary maintenance. This will result in an outage of video streaming for 3-5 hours on 22 February.

    Important: The maintenance will cause an outage of videos that stream through URLS containing "video.rrc.ca".  The links to the affected videos are typically found in the Library OneSearch online catalogue, and in Learn Courses.  

    Please note, it is only videos that have "video.rrc.ca" in their URL that will be affected.  Videos that stream from other college video systems will not be affected.

    If you have any questions please contact Mark Nelson - mnelson@rrc.ca - Library and Academic Services.

     

    Update Wednesday 23 February: Users still see a "loginEror" message when tryuing to view a video. We are hoping the software vendor is able to quickly fix this issue.

     

    Update Wednesday 23 February: Streaming video links are now working. Please contact us if you continue to have issues.
