Video streaming typically requires the use of media plugins. While the necessary plugins will often come pre-installed, you may need to install or enable plugins to watch streaming video. We recommend installing the Adobe Flash Player and Microsoft Silverlight plugins if they are available for your system.
While we recommend certain platforms and web browsers, many other operating systems and web browsers can successfully stream videos. For example, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are both known to work on many platforms. Please note that not all features are available to all web browsers on all platforms.
Please Note: Android has a very rapidly changing ecosystem. As new devices and operating systems are released, we are committed to addressing any issues within 60 days.
Beta and pre-release versions of operating systems and web browsers are not supported.
If you are having issues viewing a live or archive House broadcast, please insure the follow network requirements are met.
Port 1935 is the RTMP port, it's used by Flash player for both live and archive broadcasts and must be open. in addition, Port 80 also is required for loading the web pages that contain the player and also must be open.
