Viewing instructions for Blue Mountain Land Trust’s Annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival

Accessing the Wild & Scenic Event Screening Room

  • To access the Wild & Scenic Event Screening Room you will first need to log into the Qudio account you created when purchasing a ticket. Use the link in your confirmation email OR the same link you used to register/purchase your ticket.

  • Find the event in ‘My Events’.

  • Once the Lobby Time begins at 6 pm, you will be able to enter the event Screening Room. Use this time to test your viewing screen. You will see the lobby countdown and hear music.

  • Say hello to friends in the chat box and tell us about your favorite BMLT Learning on the Land event.

  • Press the play button and the program will automatically begin after the 30-minute lobby time. If it does not begin at the set time OR if you do not see the lobby countdown, please refresh your browser.

  • *If any issues arise, often refreshing your browser solves the issue. (more troubleshooting tips below)

We recommend using Chrome or Firefox. Some browsers, such as Safari, do not support features like full-screen mode. Make sure your browser is up-to-date.

Connecting to the Chat Box Feature

  • By default, you should be automatically connected to the chat when you log in. You will see the chat box to the right of the video screen during the event.

    • If you are not able to engage in the chat, first try refreshing the page.

  • If you do not wish to view the chat, you can make the video ‘Full Screen’ but clicking the button in the bottom-right once the program begins.

Options for Viewing the Program on a TV

  • Connect your computer to your TV via an HDMI cord.

    • If you have a SmartTV, use the internet browser and enter the event/video stream link into the browser.

    • If your device supports “Mirroring” or “Casting”, you can use this feature (think Apple Air Play, Google ChromeCast, etc)

  • AirPlay

  • Chromecast

  • Here is a guide on how to use Chromecast from your computer.

    • At this time Chromecast is not available to cast from Apple devices like the iPhone or iPad.

  • Roku:

    • There is an Apple app that allows the ability to cast to your Roku. The iOS app is called iWebTV

      • https://apps.apple.com/us/app/iwebtv-cast-web-videos-to-tv/id999462129

    • Install app on phone

    • Turn on your Roku and search for the app on Roku (iWebTV) and add it to your Roku

    • Open the app on your tv and your phone. The two will guide through a quick set up to connect them.

    • To watch the event, simply put the screening link into the browser section of iWebTV (on your phone) and then click go. It will pop up and ask where you want to view it.. be sure to choose the name you gave on the tv set up and it will then cast beautifully.

    • If you don’t have an Apple device you can reference some of the apps in this article:

Possible Issues

Once you are on the Event Page, this yellow question mark is your friend! Connect to Qudio directly to help troubleshoot if your issue is not addressed below. Select “Contact Us,” fill out the form, and they will respond in moments.

  • Scenario 1: You already logged on, then clicked the registration link again around the time of the event, expecting it to work as it did previously. You are then presented with a screen that says ‘you are already registered’.

    • There should be a link on the page to sign in. If so, click that link and use the credentials you used previously.

  • Scenario 2: You are connected and can see the screening room, but when you switch to full screen mode, the screen is black.

    • You are most likely using an older version of Safari. Try switching to another browser such as Firefox or Chrome, or update your browser.

  • Other issues:

    • If the stream is lagging or stalled, or if you seeing the “spinning circle”, please try refreshing the page.

    • If you encounter a message that reads ‘quota exceeded’, you may have used your allotted bandwidth and might have to find a new internet connection.
