[AG-TECH] Unicast Bridge not functioning correctly

[Jason Bell]

G'day Johnny

I suspect that the problem is that you are running two separate programs, that being the Bridge Server and media tools (vic and rat), which are using the same ports in which will cause conflicts.

Have you tried just running the bridge without anything else running.

Most of us, including myself run a Bridge and/or VenueServer on a separate machine to a standard AG machine, because of these port conflicts.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Jason.

Hi all,

The problem is that when I select the MELCOE Bridge, I can't see any external video or hear any audio.

Here's my BridgeServer.cfg file

      [BridgeServer] 
      name = MELCOE Bridge
      location = MELCOE, Macquarie University
      qbexec = C:\Program Files\AGTk-2.4\bin\QuickBridge.exe
      BRIDGESERVER = MELCOE
      portMin = 20000 
      portMax = 30000
      # 
      # Asia Pacific Access Grid Lobby 
      [https://venues2.vislab.usyd.edu.au:8000/venues/default] 
      type = Venue 

I am also running my AG client on the same machine, so I am not sure if this will cause the bridge not to work.
Client is : AGTk version 2.4
PC: Windows XP with SP2
I had disabled the built-in Windows Firewall, and believe that the corporate firewall should be configured to allow the relevant ports through.
Is there anything that the Network Administrator should know about? I'll forward any relevant details to him.

So I guess something is working because I am able to see the Unicast bridge when the Unicast Bridge options pops-up.
Any idea with why there's no video or audio?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Cheers,
Johnny
