Same message I got. I'm clueless as to a solution.

To Janne and Ron,
Perhaps contact Shohei?

Re: The Sitting Hall

for those having trouble with the zen hall(mebeam) shrinking you down to postage stamp size, as has happened today, you can try not connecting from the treeleaf page, but instead connect from mebeam directly: http://www.mebeam.com , and type in "treeleaf-zenhall" as the room and connect -- it may still shrink, but as it starts out larger, it is a bit improved in size

and good to have this for backup when the occasional incompatability develops between the treeleaf site and mebeam

again, just search the treeleaf forum for "mebeam", and many of the problems have come up before

Re: The Sitting Hall

Last night I was using Google Chrome for Mac and was reduced to a postage stamp but only when someone else entered the hall. I'll try the direct link method tonight.

Re: The Sitting Hall

Going to try this post again -- the last one was ejected into deep space, or whatever happens when they don't show up on a thread.

"Open the pod bay doors, Jundo.

I'm sorry Chris, I can't do that..."

Roky - thanks for the MeBeam tip. I went to MeBeam's site at Don's suggestion, but I could never get the name of the room correct.

I'm going to sit the zazenkai in the hall from 2000-0000 EST Saturday. Unless, of course, there's a toddler-infant rebellion in my house.

gassho,

Re: The Sitting Hall

Hi Folks here is the fix for the safari 64bit issue. Thank yous too don Don!

Switching Safari 64bit to 32-bit mode in Snow Leopard

ooVoo video chat rooms are currently not supported in Safari 64bit. Please perform the following steps to switch Safari to the 32bit mode:

1. From the ‘Applications’ Folder, right-click [ctrl+click for one button mousers] the 'Safari' icon and select 'Get Info'.

2. From the 'Safari Info' window check the 'Open in 32-bit' mode option and close the window.

3. Restart your Safari browser (closing the Safari window is not enough). You may quit Safari either by right-clicking on the Safari icon in dock menu and selecting 'Quit' or by selecting 'Quit Safari' from the Safari application menu.

Give that ago!

Re: The Sitting Hall

The mebeam link is nice. It was lovely to sit "with" people tonight!

Message removed.
I must learn this wisdom of recognizing when an offering may improve on silence and when it will not.

Thanks Shohei

Re: The Sitting Hall

well, seems like you definitely need 2 computers to run both ustream and mebeam live simultaneously

re: the shrinking, also try going to "view" in your browser, and "zoom +" a few times

Re: The Sitting Hall

Hi,

Sat in the zen hall (mebeam) in the beginning of zazenkai, with Roky in his boat I guess , then left the room and wasn´t able to get back in later, so I used Shohei´s oovoo room which seems much more stabile, more reliable. Thanks for the Safari solution! Also mebeam seems to have a history of not really working that well, and still today not working well, so maybe we should decide to go for the oovoo room? I think we need a working zen hall if we are to use it, also the oovoo room worked simultaneously with the ustream, was able to hear the crickets and all .

Hi Roky, I joined you for a while there .

Re: The Sitting Hall

hi janne, i wasn't sure who that was -- you probably saw my post re:mebeam, cleared up soon as i got out of ustream

you're right, would be good to get this all worked out -- i'm trying oovoo out on a virtual winxp machine in linux, see how it goes

Re: The Sitting Hall

i think oovoo will work virtually in linux, though with just an icon for me that says "roky", which is no big deal, as it won't capture my webcam -- but what i'm more concerned about is that it appears that after the 30-day trial, this is a $240/yr fee for each room, no? -- though, if the interest is there, we could pass the hat, using paypal

when going over the mebeam forum/blog, i noticed that there was an upgrade reducing it to 6 maximum in any room, due to bandwidth problems they were having, so oovoo is the same in that respect

but i'd have to say again, except when i tried using it together with ustream, mebeam has worked fine
