Christoph, I was meaning that I got the video running on the second machine (receiver) for about 5 minutes and everything was fine, the quality of the picture was so beautiful , but after that the video was lost and when i tried to launch the video again , the SimpleHDVideoConsumerService was still waiting the video , I mean vic was appearing for waiting video while the first machine (sender) was capturing and still sending the video .
For the Properties widget in the Veneus menu , yes the purpose field in the two machines has the same Service (SimpleHDV(multicast)). - The two machines also were sending and receiveing while they were in venue, and they were listening also on the same address and the same port (224.2.156.183:63542<http://224.2.156.183:63542>) . if the receiving machine has entered a venue before the producer machine generates a DV stream, then the receiver has no information about the DV stream. This is due to the dynamic generation of the media addresses for *HDV* services. You may have to re-enter the venue with the receiving machine to update its knowledge of all the available streams Yes , You are right , by doing alot of tests , I got this tip , I mean the producer must be running firstly before the Consumer . After All the words mentioned UP , now the video is working fine here and the sending and receiving machines are working so fine except minor problem like i should disable and enable the producer Service from time to time (I believe it's due to my network traffic) . But The New problem here which happend today (I was doing all these tests mentioned in the previous mail yesterday) when the second machine starts to receive video , the whole operating System (ubuntu) hangs ! I thought the problem was a hardware issue , so I changed the producer machine to be a Consumer and made the Consumer to be a producer , but got the same result , the Consumer machine hanged also after it received the Video , this problem didn't appear yesterday . So What do you think about this problem ? hardware issues ? Also noticed something strange : the producer machine sends the DV streams at 29 Mbps while the Consumer machine receives the DV streams at more than 100 Mbps !! Muhammad
