[AG-DEV] Tapping into the video streams

[Andrew Rowley]

Hi,

Funny you should mention this - we seem to be having difficulty with receiving multicast locally on multicast sockets when using Java in linux.  Is this the O/S you are using, or are you using windows?  If windows, it should work.  You may need to call socket.setLoopbackMode(false) to allow packets to loop back locally.

If this is on linux, there may be a bug...

Subject: [AG-DEV] Tapping into the video streams

Greetings,

I am new to AG and have been trying to see if I can tap into the rtp
multicast session using my exising standalone viewer implemented with
JMF (lets call it myViewer).

If I run AG's VideoProducerService on machineA and use myViewer on
machineB (with the multicast ip/port), I will be able to view the
captured feeds on machineB. However, if run everything in one single
machine, I will fail to receive any video feeds on myViewer. Any idea
what could be blocking me from receiving my own feeds?


Thanks in advance.
