Yemi, Perhaps this is not the case anymore, but due to a design flaw the parametercapture.device.<name>.src must always exist so that it shows up in the Schedule UI. I think this is not the case anymore, but I left that there, just in case, because when you use a customProducer argument, the value in .src is irrelevant. I was aware that the file /dev/screen wouldn't probably exist in your computer, but this leads me to the question: have you actually tested it? If you did and failed, can you please paste the logs so that I can have some useful information about the error?
As per the integration with other systems, I'm afraid I cannot help you. What I can do is telling you in which ways Matterhorn can import contents: 1. Using the ingest REST service, which basically gives you two possibilities: (http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/IngestService) 1. Importing a .zip file containing a mediapackage (basically, all the media files, the metadata files and an .xml file calling "manifest" listing them all by categories) ( http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/MediaPackage+Manifest) 2. Using a sequence of REST calls which first create a new mediapackage, then allow you to send, one by one, all the files within such mediapackage, and finally start its processing (refer to the first link). 2. Using the "Upload recording" UI, which basically does the same steps indicated in the item 1.2 in an automated way, before the curtains. 3. Dropping a .zip file containing a mediapackage (as described above) inside the /inbox directory (that's in FELIX_HOME/inbox). That would automatically trigger a workflow to process the mediapackage. 1. Alternatively, you can drop the unzipped media files in that folder (FELIX_HOME/inbox) and then, using the "Upload recording" UI, mark the "Designated inbox from server" radiobutton, and you can choose among a list of those files. You probably can find more detailed information in the wiki ( http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/Matterhorn+Development+Wiki) and documentation ( http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MHDOC/Matterhorn+Documentation) sites. That should help you to identify in which ways those systems can be integrated into Matterhorn. Best regards Rubén 2012/7/24 adeseye a.
