[AG-TECH] 2.2 video problems.

[Victor M. Babson, Jr.]

Doug,

Thanks for the response.  It gave me some ideas...

Okay everyone,

So I can force vic to show my video streams, but I still can't get the
NodeSetupWizard to acknowledge them...

Here's what I did...

I started AGServiceManager (attached AGS2.OUT output)

Then I started the NodeSetupWizard (attached NODES.OUT) which again only
showed x11 as a video source.

So I started up the Venue Client and then started an AGNodeService instance
(AGN.OUT).  Adding the localhost as a service manager and adding a
VideoConsumer service along with a VideoProducer service (again only x11
visible), I then see ~.AccessGrid/local_services/VideoConsumerService and
VideoProducerService.

I initiate vic using ./vic localhost/1283 (VIC2.OUT)  I then manipulate the
port and device and lo and behold I see my video feed.

So, did I find a bug?  What do I win?  Can I win a fix if I can't create
one?

--Vic
