<div dir="ltr">Gurcharan, <br><br>well, i did not know that DVTS can not run on the QuickBridge software , so what i want to do is just working with local multicast at the moment , and later we can see that issue. <br><br>
for the purpose of testing i've constructed a standalone switch and connected both machines (sender and receiver) only on that switch to see if the problem is totally a network issue or not , and configured a venue server on one of them and connected to venue , then connected also the other machine which generated the DVTS video stream , and again the problem still there and the video is corrupted at the receiving side . so we can execlude any network-related problem. <br>
<br>is there any other reason can cause this problem ? also did you try the enhanced vic (windows xp app) with accessgrid ?<br><br>Regards <br><br>Muhammad <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 5:19 AM, Gurcharan S.

Gurcharan<br>
well, I can confirm that multicast is working as i can see the multicast address group in the DVTS Receiver window<br>
</blockquote></div>
well if you're talking about your own address for the stream you are sending, that only means multicast is<br>
working locally. you need to test with an outside stream to see if multicast is working end to end.<br>

3.2-Beta! I wish I had noticed that earlier! Yes, definitely stay<br>
away from that.<br>
There are known problems both with DVTS (and H264) in the beta.<br>
<br>
Now that you've discovered that, I have to say I have never seen<br>
the kind of<br>
artifacts that you show us in your DVTS image.<br>
<br>
I'm connected to your sever now but I guess you must have turned<br>
off your<br>
stream. I will check it again later.<br>
<br>
Also, you should check trying to receive an external stream as<br>
well. If you go<br>
to the RIT Venue at<br>
<a href="https://vv3.mcs.anl.gov:8000/Venues/8cdd226521d429b68e7e8c0158a6a663" target="_blank">https://vv3.mcs.anl.gov:8000/Venues/8cdd226521d429b68e7e8c0158a6a663</a><br>
there should be several DVTS streams available.<br>
<br>
As John said in an earlier email, make sure multicast is working<br>
(there are<br>
independent ways to test that). But it looks like something in<br>
your machine<br>
or local network possibly.<br>

hi Gurcharan, John<br>
Firstly appreciated your help both , I think now the problem<br>
has taken another curve , i mean i've downgraded AccessGrid<br>
version from 3.2-Beta to AccessGrid 3.1 stable release ( also<br>
using the easyinstaller package) , and as i previously did ,<br>
i've configured AccessGrid on the sender Pc to use the<br>
ExtendedVideoProducerService and again i can see my video<br>
signal fine without any problem<br>
Now at the receiver Pc , I've configured it to use the<br>
ExtendedVideoConsumerService and now it pops up the DVTS<br>
screen and I can see the stream sent by my sender pc , and did<br>
as Gurcharan said , that I clicked on each of those text lines<br>
and the DVTS window was brought up with the following problem<br>
within it :<br>

As you can see the video is corrupted and is not clear , what<br>
can cause this problem ?<br>
my AccessGrid Server url is <a href="https://ag0.mans.edu.eg" target="_blank">https://ag0.mans.edu.eg</a><br></div></div>

Muhammad, on Monday I can put up a DVTS stream into a lobby<br>
(let<br>
me know which you’re playing in, there are several these days –<br>
Louisiana has their own for example) and see what’s up.<br>
<br>
Confirm you have multicast working...<br>
<br>
It’s not clear from you on the display (receiver) machine<br>
if DVTS<br>
is starting, if you’re getting errors, etc. Is it starting<br>
but not<br>
showing anything? Can you confirm the multicast addresses<br>
involved? Are you getting “video” but it’s black for example?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

*Subject: *Re: [AG-TECH] sending dv/hdv via accessgrid all<br>
in one<br>
<br>
<br>
hi Gurcharan,<br>
well, the problem mainly is that i'm unable to receive<br>
my video<br>
signal at the receiver side , which actually i can see it<br>
via DVTS<br>
program at the sending side<br>
let's explain my setup in more details , i've two pcs<br>
their specs<br>
as follows :<br>
Sender PC<br>
OS : Windows XP SP3<br>
AccessGrid Ver : 3.2 Beta version ( All in one<br>
Installer made by<br>
<a href="http://www.hitlabnz.org/wiki/Access_Grid_-_Easy_Installer" target="_blank">http://www.hitlabnz.org/wiki/Access_Grid_-_Easy_Installer</a>)<br>
Processor: Intel core 2 duo 2.3 GHZ<br>
Ram : 2 GB<br>
VGA Card : Nvidia 8400 GS ( Driver installed via nvidia<br>
website )<br>
Ethernet Type : Gigabit ethernet<br>
Firewire ports : External Pci card has two IEEE-1394 ports<br>
Input Camera : Sony DCR-TRV285E<br>
Receiver PC<br>
OS : Windows XP SP3<br>
AccessGrid Ver : 3.2 Beta version ( All in one<br>
Installer made by<br>
<a href="http://www.hitlabnz.org/wiki/Access_Grid_-_Easy_Installer" target="_blank">http://www.hitlabnz.org/wiki/Access_Grid_-_Easy_Installer</a>)<br>
Processor : intel pentium D 3.4 GHZ<br>
Ram : 512 MB<br>
VGA Card : Nvidia 8400 GS ( Driver installed via nvidia<br>
website )<br>
Ethernet type : fast ethernet<br>
Now , The sender Pc is configured to Start sending<br>
Digital Video<br>
via ExtendedVideoServiceProducer Option which is found in the<br>
AccessGrid node management menu , that i've included during the<br>
installation of AccessGrid , And at this time i can see my<br>
video<br>
signal via DVTS program<br>
At the Receiver Side , I've started AccessGrid and<br>
configured It<br>
to use The ExtendedVideoConsumerService from AccessGrid node<br>
Management menu by adding a new service , and at this time<br>
i can<br>
not see anything , and no error messages appeared<br>
does my setup lacks something that's i've fogotten to<br>
do , or does<br>
i need much horse power for my PCS ?<br>
if though , what are the necessary steps to be done to<br>
be able to<br>
send and/or receive dv/hdv on windows xp ?<br>
Regards<br>
Muhammad<br>

hello,<br>
I've just installed the recent all in one accessgrid<br>
package on windows xp , the installation process<br>
went fine ,<br>
and i've added the extended video services during the<br>
installation as I want to start sedning dv/hdv<br>
video via<br>
firewire cameras ,<br>
after i've joined the lobby , i've configured the<br>
ExtendedVideoProducerService , and I can see my<br>
video fine<br>
via the DVTS program ,<br>
but the problem that i'm unable to receive it via<br>
ExtendedVideoConsumerService ,I've tried several<br>
times to<br>
enable and disable the service with no luck<br>
Anyone had a previous experience on how to get dv/hdv<br>
video on windows xp using this all in one (which<br>
includes<br>
the DVTS ) ?<br>
also anyone tried the enhanced vic that was made by<br>
vislab team (chris willing ) on windows xp and<br>
successed<br>
to integrate it with accessgrid ?<br>
