[AG-TECH] PIG and VideoProducer port

[Jason Hill]

Steve

There's a patch from ANL that fixes this. They're working on bundling it 
  up with some of the other 2.1.1b fixes for another release. Tom Uram 
sent a message to the list a few days ago. I've included it for the link 
to the new VideoProducerService.zip file and the directions.


Take care,

-Jason

This is a known problem with the video producer.  A fixed video producer 
service package is available at:

http://www.mcs.anl.gov/fl/research/accessgrid/software/releases/2.1.1/patch/VideoProducerService.zip

This file should be placed as is in the directory that holds services, 
on the machine running the NodeService (the display machine in 
multi-machine nodes):

Windows:   InstallDir\services
Linux:  /usr/share/AccessGrid/services

With this in place, you should get a pulldown menu for the port when 
configuring a video producer service, and vic should use that port 
correctly.  The practical effect of this problem is blue streams, or 
black/white streams.

We will be issuing a bug-fix release soon, when it's ready and 
well-tested, which will include this fix and others reported against the 
last release (2.1.1 and its variants).
