First steps in urgent cases

If you have complaints that all streams are down, please follow the steps:

Check the channels yourself first. Are all streams down? If just a few channels, check the inputs. If you can play the channel, check the end-user's connection (last-mile). Use to check if ISP is up and running, don't forget to select your country to get the list of providers.
Verify the input URL of the streaming server in VLC. If it plays out well, check with your channel provider if the IP address of the server has been blacklisted.
Check with your channel provider if you may overload the available bandwidth or exceed the amount of connections.
If the server is down, try to restart it or ask your hosting company team.
Also, sometimes end users complain about the stream issues, but the real cause is on the customer side, mostly broken connection.
