[AG-TECH] Struggling with starting of producer service and encapsulated executable

[Michael Braitmaier]

Currently I am trying to incorporate a simple executeable into my 
VideoProducerService-derived own ProducerService., but I can't figure 
out some aspects of how the producer service works.
Especially I am stuck with the start method of the service. As far as I 
understand it, for example the Videoproducer service does nothing more 
than calling vis with appropriate parameters passed in the options 
array. Therefore I wanted to replace vic by my own executeable and 
accordingly change the options passed to the called AGService._Start 
method. But when I remove the options
self.streamDescription.location.host and 
self.streamDescription.location.port my producer service can't be added 
to my service manager because the service manager reports that the 
service is unreachable. I thought these values are only needed for vic 
to be able to broadcast its video stream and receive video streams, so I 
should be able to pass my own server information format at this point 
which is understandable by my executeable. So what do I have to pay 
attention to when replacing vic with my own executeable concerning the 
start method of the producer service, to avoid my service being 
unreachable ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
