<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><DIV>I am working to find a cross-platform DV solution for the AccessGrid. Until enhanced vic is improved on windows, we are using DVTS. Currently, we use Sangwoo Han's ExtendedVideo services for AG (DVTS on the back-end). </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I have been experimenting with DVTS on linux and its orphaned package: xdvshow. After compiling and testing several versions of xdvshow and gldvshow, I finally found a version that works with our Linux 2.6.20 kernel on i686 (AMD Opterons). The version was taken from an unadvertised telechacha (conferencing suite) repository (<A href="https://svn.sat.qc.ca/xdvshow/"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#002FD7">https://svn.sat.qc.ca/xdvshow/</FONT></A>).</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">What would it take to create a ExtendedVideoConsumer package for linux using this working version of xdvshow? The syntax of the command is simple: ./xdvshow -4 -j 233.2.171.59 -P 64225</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Sending DVTS streams in linux seems equally simple (using dvsend, part of the maintained DVTS software).</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Are there other cross-platform solutions I've overlooked (besides enhanced vic and DVTS)? How difficult would it be to integrate xdvshow and the dvts utilities into a linux service compatible with Sangwoo's Windows-based ExtendedVideo services?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks,<BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Keith Simmons</DIV><DIV>ICE Lab Manager at RIT</DIV><DIV><A href="http://ITartist.com">http://ITartist.com</A></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
