We have made video content of some of the work of the Ensemble available for you to view on this website. The content ranges from live webcasts of our Ensemble's performances to archived versions of the same performances. While the webcasts are (of course!) live, the better-quality archived videos will be available here a few days after each recorded performance.

Troubleshooting technical problems with webcasts
Q. How do I view the live flash streams?
A. Ensure that you have the most recent version of Flash Player installed on your computer - we recommend version 10 or higher. You can check the Flash Player website in order to download the appropriate installation files for your computer. Follow the on-screen directions to install the player. After you install the player, restart your browser, then navigate to the broadcast as usual.
A note to Mac users: OS 10.3.x does not support Flash Player 10. If the automatic install above does not work for you, download the 9.0.124 installer to your computer and run it manually.
Q. The live player only shows a blank screen (no audio or video) OR I am getting an error when I try to load the broadcast.
A. To view the broadcast, you must have Javascript enabled in your web browser. This walkthrough shows you how to enable JavaScript in a number of different browsers. Also, ensure that you have the most recent version of Flash Player installed on your computer - we recommend version 10 or higher.
There is also a known bug in the 'Adblock' extension for Firefox that prevents the Flash player from loading. The developer of the Adblock extension recommends upgrade to Adblock Plus 1.0 to prevent this problem.
Q. The broadcast is continually stopping or buffering - what can I do?
A. We recommend you have at least a 768 kbps high speed internet connection or higher. If you're on a wireless network, plug into a hard-wired connection if at all possible. Be sure that neither you nor anyone else on your network is actively downloading anything other than the stream, and close bandwidth-heavy programs such as Instant Messaging or Torrenting programs. You can test your connection here in order to help you determine if your connection can handle the broadcast.
Q. The Audio or Video is not as high of quality as I was expecting.
A. In order for audio and video to be broadcast live over the Internet, it needs to be compressed to some degree. This, consequently, decreases the sound and video quality slightly. Because most of our broadcasts are musical events, we occasionally allow for higher quality encoding of the audio than the video, in effect sacrificing some of the video quality for better audio. This allows us to keep the bandwidth of the stream down, so that users with slightly slower connections can receive the stream without buffering.
Q. Can I watch the stream at a different time other than the one listed on the schedule?
A. On occasion we will offer archived versions of our events. Many of our events, however, are archived within a month or so of the original broadcast, making them available to view on-demand. Currently we do not offer or support downloads of streams.
Q. I still can't access the stream, what else can I do?
A. If you have thoroughly followed all of the instructions and are still having problems, e-mail us at info@miamimusicproject.org. We will do everything to ensure that you have the best viewing experience possible.
