We've problems with Vic on Windows XP when there are many cameras on h264/mpeg4 as Visualization (VideoConsumerServiceH264). We've 3 cameras on h264/mpeg4 (800kbps / 24fps, Size:Large) and we are doing tests with others Universities, so it can be about 10 cameras connected. When vic as VideoConsumer service runs, vic application crash and close all video windows.
In the official page of vic talks about this crash and recommend to use 320x240 resolution (I supose that it's the size medium on vic preferences): http://mediatools.cs.ucl.ac.uk/nets/mmedia/wiki/VicFaq#a2.WhydoesVICcrashassoonasItrytotransmit About Windows 7, in the first run we've problems and crash (python.exe don't work) on connect to a Venue and load the chat, and yes, it's due to the beacon option. But, the second and nexts runs the VenueClient close when load the splash screen. I run the VenueClient with debug and I realize that debug show a error in the VenueClient.py file: " File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\AccessGrid3\AccessGrid\VenueClient.py", line 266, in __init__ if int(self.preferences.GetPreference(Preferences.MULTICAST)):ValueError: invalid literal for int(): False" These lines are: "if int(self.preferences.GetPreference(Preferences.MULTICAST)): self.transport = "multicast" else: self.transport = "unicast" " So, I've changed "int" by "bool" and it works. We've encountered other debug messages like this in others lines on other Files (PreferencesUI.py, for example that show a similar error in the line 1173: self.multicastButton.SetValue(not int(preferences.GetPreference(Preferences.MULTICAST))) ), and I've this problems on my Windows XP system (installed in my home). We want to notify this messages to the mailing lists for developers, but we want, first, to assure this errors on all systems or if it's a particular problem. Regards!

Just a standard install, with the beacon turned off. On 8 Mar 2010, at 1039h, Tran, Quang V. wrote: We are also having problems with VIC crashing even when beacon is disabled. That brings up a question about installation. When you install it on Vista/Windows 7, do you install it as Windows XP compatibility? We are using AG Toolkits 3.1.
