FYI to ROV watchers. There are multiple Akamai streams dedicated to specific ROVs in addition to the official BP stream that flits from ROV to ROV. These are MMS URLs that should be opened in a media player such as WMP or VLC. If you use a media player that allows multiple instances (such as VLC), you can watch multiple streams at the same time.
Hercules 6 (based on Skandi Neptune):
mms://a261.l9789247175.c97892.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/261/97892/v0001/reflector:47175
Hercules 14 (based on Skandi Neptune):
mms://a246.l9789249182.c97892.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/246/97892/v0001/reflector:49182
XLX 36 (unknown host vessel):
mms://a246.l9789246566.c97892.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/246/97892/v0001/reflector:46566
Maxx 3 (unknown host vessel):
mms://a261.l9789244838.c97892.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/261/97892/v0001/reflector:44838
Unknown ROV, very unreliable stream:
mms://a662.l9789246661.c97892.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/662/97892/v0001/reflector:46661
As of now, Hercules 14 is monitoring the top of the BOP/LMRP stack, Hercules 6 is on the seafloor doing ‘dispersant ops,’ XLX 36 is idle at 450’, Max 3 is idle at 4900’, and the mystery ROV is looking at the two LMRP caps.
Finally, screencaps and writeups of interesting events are regularly posted to the LATOC forum:
