I am working to find a cross-platform DV solution for the AccessGrid. Until enhanced vic is improved on windows, we are using DVTS. Currently, we use Sangwoo Han's ExtendedVideo services for AG (DVTS on the back-end).
I have been experimenting with DVTS on linux and its orphaned package: xdvshow. After compiling and testing several versions of xdvshow and gldvshow, I finally found a version that works with our Linux 2.6.20 kernel on i686 (AMD Opterons). The version was taken from an unadvertised telechacha (conferencing suite) repository (https://svn.sat.qc.ca/xdvshow/). What would it take to create a ExtendedVideoConsumer package for linux using this working version of xdvshow? The syntax of the command is simple: ./xdvshow -4 -j 233.2.171.59 -P 64225 Sending DVTS streams in linux seems equally simple (using dvsend, part of the maintained DVTS software). Are there other cross-platform solutions I've overlooked (besides enhanced vic and DVTS)? How difficult would it be to integrate xdvshow and the dvts utilities into a linux service compatible with Sangwoo's Windows-based ExtendedVideo services?
