[AG-TECH] AGDV workings

[Gurcharan S. Khanna]

hi tom,

i was wondering how easy/hard it would be to modify the venue service for
AGDV, which is strictly windows-based right now. i know that i can send
a DVTS stream from a Mac to the IP generated by the Venue Server in response
to an windows AGDV client request (if i kill it first and quickly 
substitute the
Mac stream :-).

one of my thoughts is can i reserve or pre-assign those IP addresses so the
AGDV client will always see them listed in the pane, whether or not they 
happen
to be streaming at the moment. maybe they could even be named for particular
known sources and reserved for that source only.

of course, if the AGDV module were ported to the Mac we would have complete
functionality, but that doesn't seem likely soon. so, i'm interested in 
getting whatever
additional functionality i can right now. (hmmm...how much work would 
the Mac
port be????? i might consider it......).

thanks,

-gurcharan
