Publishers hit due to global Brightcove video outage
An outage on the Brightcove video hosting platform has hit local publishers with the likes of Mi9 and Bauer Media unable to upload new video content to their websites.
The global video processing platform for the company was down for more than six hours earlier today between 9am and 3pm AEDT, meaning videos were not able to be uploaded by publishers using the software.
Websites including NineMSN, 9News.com.au, and Bauer’s suite of digital properties such as the websites for Cleo, The Australian Women’s Weekly and Dolly were affected. The outage occurred as one of the major events in the Hollywood calendar, the Golden Globe Awards, were taking place.
Mumbrella understands the Mi9 suite of sites found a workaround to the issue as it continued Golden Globe award coverage.
No dramas here, though sounds like we’re among the lucky ones..
And so the online audience of Australia gained a few collective IQ points from not being exposed to Kim Kardashian videos for a few precious hours.
