Hi, Since you have working Bridge Server configs, I do want to ask this; Is is possible to run the bridge on the same machine that is hosting the venue server? With this config:
[https://iri-av.informatics.indiana.edu:8000/VenueServer] type = VenueServer portMin=50096 portMax=50099 I get this, and the ports are not in use before I started: max_unicast_mem is 32 myhostname=iri-av myhostipaddress=156.56.94.158 using multicast ucport[data]=59784 ucport[rtcp]=59785 mcport[data]=51442 mcport[rtcp]=51443 making multicast port[0] can't bind mcaddr to socket!: Address already in use max_unicast_mem is 32 myhostname=iri-av myhostipaddress=156.56.94.158 using multicast ucport[data]=53854 ucport[rtcp]=53855 mcport[data]=58994 mcport[rtcp]=58995 making multicast port[0] can't bind mcaddr to socket!: Address already in use Shutting down... SignalHandler exiting. I can bridge other venues on this machine, and can bridge the venueserver above using another machine. What I'd like is to do it all on one machine. Any hints would be appreciated.
