David - you can change a preference file [not sure offhand] (or adjust the setting from the GUI) to disable the multicast beacon - which causes python to crash.

Khanna Cc: Justin Peterson Subject: Re: [AG-TECH] HD vic under windows I've just tried what Jason suggested: installed the bundle, unzip C:\Program Files (x86)\AGTk-3\NodeServices\VideoServiceHD.zip, then in a terminal go to where I unzipped that file and run the vic.exe with address and port. I didn't try transmitting, but receiving worked fine. If it matters to you, python crashed the AG client a few seconds after joining a venue, so you might need another way to get the multicast addresses you need. David >>> Jason Bell <j.b...@cqu.edu.au> 18/04/2013 1:47 pm >>> Gurcharan Are you able to install the software via the GUI? If so, I recommend installing the "bundle version". You can get the bundle version from the "Software section on the AG website - or directly from http://www.mcs.anl.gov/fl/research/accessgrid/software/releases?file=AG3.2_bundled_installer_v3_3.exe. The reason why I suggest the "bundle", is that it contains two different types of "video services". There are "standard" and "HD" versions of the various AG Video Services. Within the "HD" services, they contain a "vic" executable the additional support for the HD codec's. Therefore, it you installed the AG software, then grab "vic.exe" from one of the C:\Program Files (x86)\AGTk-3\NodeServices\*HD.zip files. Once you have done this, you should be able to launch "vic" from the command line and hopefully you should be able to stream and receive HD videos. I haven't tried this personally, but I would think it "should" work. Hope this helps. Regards, Jason. P.S. If you do want to launch the Venue Client, have a look at http://www.accessgrid.org/node/1976 to get it working under windows 7. -----Original Message----- From: Gurcharan S.

Washington and Queensland but they don't quite work (they call the bits to the machine but no video at all is shown). any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. thanks, -gurcharan On 4/10/13 1:34 PM, Ian Kaufman wrote: > Hi all, > > Long time, no post :) I used to be involved in the community a few > years back when I was at LBNL/NERSC from 2000 - 2006, being the POC for > NERSC's "portable in the military sense" AGN. > > I have since taken a position aty the Jacobs School of Engineering at > UC San Diego, and got involved in ROCKS, CGLX and OptIPortals.
