Pixelation on Select Local Livestreams

Details

Investigating - We have seen a few incidents from the past week of local station livestreams showing pixelation on video playback. To fix this issue, please log into the LLS Console and use the Restart Channel button for your local feed. Once the channel restarts, the video should play properly without the pixelation.If you restart your channel and the issue continues - or if the issue returns again at a later time - please report the issue via digitalsupport.pbs.org. You can also switch your feed to the PBS failover feed if the issue is ongoing. Sep 27, 2023 - 10:54 EDT

About Our PBS Local Live Streams Status Page Integration

PBS Local Live Streams is a Smart Home solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since March 2021. Over the past about 3 years, we have collected data on on more than 298 outages that affected PBS Local Live Streams users. When PBS Local Live Streams publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 77 components and 3 groups using 4 different statuses: up, warn, down, and maintenance which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.

More than 100 StatusGator users monitor PBS Local Live Streams to get notified when it's down, is under maintenance, or has an outage. This makes it one of the most popular smart home services monitored on our platform. We've sent more than 300 notifications to our users about PBS Local Live Streams incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind.

If PBS Local Live Streams is having system outages or experiencing other critical issues, red down notifications appear on the status page. In most cases, it means that core functions are not working properly, or there is some other serious customer-impacting event underway.

Warn notifications are used when PBS Local Live Streams is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.

PBS Local Live Streams posts separate notifications for planned maintenance work. StatusGator will notify subscribers when PBS Local Live Streams enters a pre-planned maintenance window, keeping you up to date.

Since PBS Local Live Streams publishes a feed of proactive maintenance events on their status page, StatusGator will collect information about these events. Maintenance events for all your services can be viewed within StatusGator as a unified feed.

When PBS Local Live Streams posts issues on their status page, we collect the main headline message and include that brief information or overview in notifications to StatusGator subscribers.

When PBS Local Live Streams has outages or other service-impacting events on their status page, we pull down the detailed informational updates and include them in notifications. These messages often include the current details about how the problem is being mitigated, or when the next update will occur.

Because PBS Local Live Streams has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differentiate the status of each component in our notifications to you. This means, you can filter your status page notifications based on the services, regions, or components you utilize. This is an essential feature for complex services with many components or services spread out across many regions.
