Desktop live conference

Hi all, i need some advice that i couldt find any way, and which procedure i follow.
I want to make a desktop live brodcast application. But ý dont know lines are enough for that.
On desktop i ll start i video broadcast with cam, and i want to send this broadcast to a servlet. Servlet will clone this for every other clients (clients are a desktop application too) so,
will watch it. (Servlet will be used for only broadcast the video) Does it work ? Is it a right way? Is servlet has this capability?
does broadcast flow live? Or what shall i do for broadcasting a live video from desktop to desktop?

does broadcast flow live? Or what shall i do for broadcasting a live video from desktop to desktop?Yes, that design sounds just fine. It's very similar to a design I had for a project that I ultimately never finished.
But a servlet is just a Java program running on a web server, so it should be able to do JMF. The problem you'll get into is that sometimes servlets are killed after a certain peroid of time, so you may have to generate an HTTP request to the web server to tell it to start the servlet, because you'll be connecting to the servlet once it's running via RTP (so the web server won't know to start it if it's not currently running).
Otherwise, you'll get into an issue where I don't think you can dynamiclly add new clients to an RTP session. You can send to the servlet, and then servlet can then just turn around and broadcast it back to clients. But I'm not sure that new clients will be able to join while the session is in progress...to add more clients, I think you'd have to restart the RTP session to add a new Target. But that's an issue to think about later.
Everything you said seems perfectly legit, and what I'd consider a good design for limiting the necessary client-side bandwidth by utilizing the bandwidth of a web server.

Streaming isight to desktop, for conference capture with picture collage

I need to live stream my isight to my desktop so I can insert it into another application which will be sent out on a live stream chat. How do I do it.
I am trying to send a collage of <5-10 pictures, and a life video of my self taken with my isight camera> to be captured as part of a video conference with my voice. During the conference I will be adding pictures, resizing them and moving them around in a program screen such as I-web with a blank white background. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to best do this.
Which programs would be best to capture the isight video to my desktop with out any (or to much extra stuff around the video), and to assemble a collage in with the video and other pictures.
I have been looking for a conferencing program which lets me do this for broadcasting to a larger size group and only find Adobe Connect which can do all this at an extremely high price tag. My second option is to broadcast a program or screen capture which gives me the freedom to create and manipulate my contents live.
Any ideas how one can best do this. I can email a copy of a sample page taken off adobe if you do not totally understand.

"this" = wirecast looks PERFECT, Yeah!!! . I will try it out and get back to you and let you know how it works.
From what I understand about wire cast with Darwin, I can broadcast it direct from my laptop, is that correct or do I still need an independent osx server. Can I broadcast it live to a page on my web site which has a chat built into it so that people can participate in the chat while watching the live stream?
This all looks too perfect, I am looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.
thanks

My dtmf tones are not recognized when trying to access my Live Conference account

Since I updated to IOS7 on my iPhone 4S I haven't been able to access my FreeConferenceCalling account. I have been told that it is not recognizing the DTMF tones. I was able to use a friend's 4S with IOS7 with no issue.

How to stream MMS live conference?

Hi,
I just installed tow Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 4's and I want to receive Microsoft Media Service stream in my first server and forward or stream it to server 2.
So server 1 will receive MMS stream then broadcast it to server 2 over WAN and it will act as stream server over LAN also.
Is it applicable or not, if yes could you please provide me with good manual because it's difficult to configure it with web based console.

Hi Joorey,
FMS does not support the ingest of Microsoft (mms/rtsp) based streams. Unless you have a specific need to deliver to a Windows Media/Silverlight audience also, I would suggest you consider encoding into a Flash (rtmp) delivery format natively at the source. Converting a Microsoft based stream would require codec conversions to one of the Flash supported codecs (video: h.264/vp6/h.263, audio: aac/mp3/speex/nellymoser) and doing this on the fly would be expensive CPU computation and certainly not without loss during the conversion. Encoding natively at the source and publishing directly to a Flash Media Server would ensure that you don't incur quality loss and reduces the MS to Flash overhead.

Live meeting crashes while sharing desktop

I am using Microsoft Live meeting 2007. When I share my desktop; live meeting crashes without leaving any trace why this has happened. Please help.

Hi,
As far as I know,there isn't new version of Live Meeting.
In Lync Server 2010,Live meeting client is merged into the Lync 2010 as a unified client.
Here is the detail about Lync 2010 compatibility.

[Windows 8.1 Desktop/Surface/Phone] connect client app to synchronization service(s)

Hello Everybody!
I have to do some research about: what is the best way to set up my project, I am new to Azure.
Situation:
I need to develop a service(s) and client app(s) that are able to synchronize data with each other: files and database changes. the client app(s) must have the capability to work online / offline, offline: when there is no internet connection
the data has to be stored local on the client device(s) and sync it later when there is active internet connection.
Client Devices:
Windows 8.1 (Windows 8.1 PC/Desktop)
Windows 8.1 RT (Windows 8.1 Surface tablet)
Windows Phone 8.1 (Windows 8.1 Smart-phone)
We prefer to create the clients as a C# Store App Application.
Service:
This might become , if technically possible and preferable, a Azure service who main task it is to manage the communication between the server and the clients
Last days I spend my time doing research about how to get this done right.
I found several interesting techniques, some of got all the features I needed, and some just a few, but most of them aren't supported on one or more devices.
Microsoft Synchronization Framework
Sync Toolkit WinRT / Phone
Live SDK
Microsoft Synchronization Framework - got all the features I need but is not supported on Win RT and Phone
Sync Toolkit WinRT / Phone - Only Database Sync, is got bad documentation and unknown if supported on Desktop
Live SDK - Libraries to integrate with OneDrive, Only File Sync
Questions:
Does Azure support all the devices?
Is Azure supported in C# Windows 8.1 Store Apps?
Is Azure suited to host a service I described?
Thanks in advanced!

Hi JelteV,
Thanks for posting!
Base on my experience, if you wan to synchronize data with each clients. I suggest you could refer to this solution:
1.Create a Sql Azure Database or storage account for storing your data
2.Create a WCF service (web role or work role ) for communication between Client and Database
3.Set Up Table Structure (Important). I suggest you could add the deviceID and userID to distinguish the different data source. And add fields such as 'status', 'create time', 'latest update time' and so on.
For example, you client insert a record into local database and set the 'status' as ‘stay update’ or '1'. When your client connect the database and synchronize the data to server, you could set the 'status' as 'updating' or '2' . After
synchronization data, you could change the status as 'updated' or '3'.
According to this idea, the client CRUD -> change the local state code
-> Sync data -> change the local state code ->
synchronization is complete -> change the local state code .If the mobile device need operate the data on the service , it also need to change the server status code to be updated, to be deleted (deleted should
be treated differently), the next time the client login server automatically checks the "state" as "pending action" and then synchronize the server to the client. So whether it is operating on a local table, or on the side of the direct
operation of the service, you can ensure that the data is synchronized two tables.
>>Does Azure support all the devices?
>>Is Azure supported in C# Windows 8.1 Store Apps?
>>Is Azure suited to host a service I described?
From your question, I think you could create a WCF service host on azure, and call WCF service form different devices. And this method is supported the different device and win8.1 store app.
Also, please see this thread:

Script to Perform Live Trace then in Illustrator Run Action... Please Help

Hello Everyone, I am brand new to scripting and need some help... I would like to create an inter-application javascript (.jsx) file that will perform the following steps in sequence:
1) Target Bridge CS3 and:
a) Automatically select files (thumbnails) (the names of, and path to these files never change so scripting them is no problem). Path & Files are: C:\files\1.psd, C:\files\2.psd and C:\files\3.psd.
b) Run Tools > Illustrator > Live Trace [Live Trace Dialogue Box Settings (Tracing Preset: Color 16, Save & Close Results (checked), Document Profile: "Basic RGB", Width: "576", Height: "720", Units: Pixels, Destination: "C:\files\, File Naming: Document Name + .ai)].
After Live Trace finishes, C:\files\1.ai, C:\files\2.ai and C:\files\3.ai are created.
and then....
2) Target Illustrator CS3 and:
Run my Illustrator precreated Action: "Add Border". This action adds a precreated border to the files. The action is coded with the paths and file names of the .ai files as well as saving instructions.
To summarize:
1) In Bridge, run Live Trace on precreated .psd files
2) In Illustrator run an action on the files that were live traced
That's it. It seems straight forward when I write it out but trying to figure out how to script it is boggling my mind.
Thank you for your help!

A88X-G43 Odd usb behavior Linux live boot Flash Drive

So i bought this A88X-G43 and it posts and all. I'm trying to install ubuntu server to an SSD and it's just not happening. I even tried just running the Ubuntu desktop live usb. It gets to the point where i can choose to run or perform the install, then reboots. When I perform a server install, i cannot boot into it, due to an error about a partition that did not get created.
Hardware:
APU: AMD A10-6800K
mobo: A88X-G43 *came with v3.4 bios, flashed to 3.5. flashed back to 3.4 for testing.
PSU: Corsair CX600m
Hard drive: Patriot Pyro 120gb
Ram: 4gb of 1333 Samsung ram(testing from work computers) *Board would not recognize my Patriot memory.
I had an install running on another MSI motherboard same hardware(besides ram, worked on that board), with no problems.
I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A temporary fix is, when installing Linux whether desktop or server, you need to do the following.
When you're prompted for Language, you will see some Function key options at the bottom.
Hit Esc and choose F6 then use "nomodeset" then continue with install.
Once you have linux installed you have to edit grub. It will need to look like the line below
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
Once you've made your edit and saved the grub file, update grub and reboot.
Tested and is a good workaround.

Can't Open Numbers file, wrong format

Hello I have Numbers version 3.2
I have a friend who has created 3 numbers spreadsheets. I can not open them on my mac.
On my Mac with mavericks , I get error can't open file. I checked console and got detailed message "8/13/14 8:04:54.759 PM Numbers[284]: *** Assertion failure #2: -[TSAImportController prepareForImportDisplayingProgress:] TSAImportController.m:292 Could not create importer for document at /Users/bill/Desktop/2014 Conference Spreadsheet.numbers."

What does this indicate, they can take the same file and make it an Xcel and I can open.
I tried to move the file over to the cloud and open , and I get error 'invalid file format" what is going on here ?

Update #3 .. I tried to install an old version of numbers. Interesting enough files still error, but they error with the error reported on iCloud.

How do I determine what connection type I have?

After almost a year of spotty service and lots of time spent on the phone with tech support, an AT&T tech came to our house and set up our dsl modem in a bedroom on the same side of the house where the lines feed in from the street. That modem hooks into the phone jack in the wall, and the desktop is plugged into a power outlet (using an adapter the technician gave us) on the other side of the house. He said that our signal now runs on the electrical wiring rather than on the phone line. We can use the adapter to plug the desktop or other corded device into any electrical outlet in the house now, and our service is perfect. Super fast and never out.
When we attempted to hook up the WRT54GS, we hooked it into the adapter where the desktop lives, then connected the desktop to the router. All the right lights were on, the connection icon in the bottom taskbar showed a strong signal, but we still get a windows message saying the signal can't be connected. I'm thinking that our unusual internet signal is something other than the default setting on the router and that is what's causing our problem.
Has anyone experienced and solved similar?
Thanks so much. . .

What you have is In-House Broadband over PowerLines (BPL). This is a new technology that I think is exremely cool. It runs at 500 kilobits to 3 megabits. im guessing that you live in one of the cities that they are trying it out. As far as setting up your router to that technology I have no idea.This link will take you to a router that is specifically designed for BPL http://www.niroda.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=159&Itemid=153. I hope that this was a little bit helpful.

Problems Exporting to Quicktime. Would you use Profcast?

Using the new Keynote, which is promising, we recording a seminar that was 2 hours long. We wanted to distribute it via CD. We have tried to export it so many ways to Quicktime. We get the old "Your slideshow cannot be exported as a Quicktime movie. There's not enough disk space, or there was a problem with the file." Of course, disk pace is not a problem. We just found out that this is some sort of bug that the Apple community has been trying to figure out for years and has errupted again with this new Keynote version. We've tried the couple solutions posted elsewhere on the internet, and nicely summarized here: http://www.madebymark.com/madebymark/2006/04/keynote30expo.html
As with the author above, they haven't worked for us. And we don't have a stray "audio icon" that the author describes. Our Keynote presentation is very bare, with new fancy slide transitions or effects.
I'm thinking that Keynote cannot be trusted with audio presentations of over a few minutes. We recorded a nice four minute or so presentation and exported to Quicktime. It worked wonderfully. Has all the nice effects. When we tried a longer recording (10) minutes, all the sound and transitions were out of sync.
Our problem is that we record whole lecture and seminars. If Keynote has a glitch, we are then having to re-record. It's painful and expensive.
We were using Profcast, which allows us to import Keynote presentation and record the lectures. Now Profcast doesn't allow fancy transitions. It also doesn't (or did not) export to Quicktime. It exported to mp4 (I believe) which a Quicktime user could open. But the audio was perfectly timed with the slide pagination. And two other important benefits. The lecturer could easily start and stop the audio. If I'm not mistaken, that's not on option under Keynote. If you start the recording under Keynote, you're on until you finish. If you pause (I don't think there is a pause. I think you must exit) the recording, you end the recording. The final nice thing of Profcast (although I have not used it) is that you can export to GarageBand. At that point you can edit out extraneous material. I'm not sure what to do with it at that point. I don't think GarageBand allows you to export to quicktime. I think you can export to iTunes which is a type of QT. Assuming that one had to edit using GarageBand, that would require person to have iTunes to listen and watch the slide presentation, if I'm not mistaken. The other problem is that when you are using Profcast, as I remember (and I may be wrong on this), you lose all the nice transitions and effects. You still see the same slides with the same quality, but minus the effects.
ProfCast has proven a reliable workhorse, but without the effects. Quicktime is wonderful if you are not recording audio. If you are, nightmares ensue, and there seems little hope for an immediate solution.
Here are my questions. Beyond the few solutions for the Quicktime export problem, does anyone have any solutions? Any suggestions? We have a three hour presentation (it's huge) and are loathe to rerecord it.
Should we just stick with Profcast? Why or why not?
Oscar

Oscar I feel your pain !
We had similar problems from a recent seminar recording.
However I don't think it's length related. We recorded 15 presentations. 7 of which did not have slides. All those were fine with just our placeholder screen (25-ish minutes each)
Of the remaining 8 half exported finem, half crashed with the "disk full etc" error. All 8 presentations had slides imported from Powerpoint PC. Slide numbers ranged from 10 to 30. We could not determine a common denominator between the ones that crashed.
We tried removing transitions, deleting and re-inserting the original slides and a whole raft of other voodoo especially trying to hack the contents of the KN Package file in the hope of stumbling on to a fix ... to no avail.
This was a one-off live conference, no re-record possible. You don't want to hear this but we were forced to extract the audio and manually resynch All the presentations in Flash
You may have a better workflow, but you DO know you can control click the Keynote file, choose "Show Package Contents" and in there you will find all sorts of stuff including the .m4a audio file
This is a serious bug that render KN completely it's recording feature completely unusable.
But what has been most disappointing to me has been the absolute lack of any feedback from the stuff I have filed on this. Bug reports, Feature Enhancements, and the lack of comments from any of the Apple KN staff on this Apple KN board, does not speak well to the type of support for this product.
But here's the sting in the tail:
Having JUST completed the Flash workaround (at a cost of several thousand dollars in contracting) I just installed the KN 4.01 updater released today and all the files that would not export now do so just fine ! Grrrrrrrrrr.........

How to view multiple cameras on a MacBook

REMOTE LEARNING
I'm trying to find a way to view images from 2 or 3 digital camcorders or even webcams on the desktop of my MacBook, then share that desktop live online with music students so they can see closeups of my hands, instrument, etc. Is there a way to do that
I may do desktop sharing through Adobe Connect, but if someone knows a better way, please advise. (Adobe says the frame rate of live camera feeds on my desktop, vs the frame rate of Flash which Connect is based on, may be different, and if so, make the video image poor; anyone verify that?)
Lastly: audio over iChat is crappy with musical instruments. That's using the MacBook's built-in mic. The sound is compressed and distorted. Would using an external mic improve the sound? Is that the nature of iChat? Would Skype sound better?
Lastly: if it's impossible to share multiple camera views like I want, then maybe it's possible to simply hook up a video switcher and change the camera feed being sent to my MacBook and out via Skype. Anyone have facts about doing that?
Thanks!

Went in to NVIDIA control panel and realized SLI was disabled so only running one card.
Re-installed drivers, enabled SLI, and added card to PPRO .txt file so that GPUSniffer.exe would recognize it.
MPE acceleration is now enabled and PPRo seems to be much more stable so far.
Thanks for the suggestion, Harm...got me going down the right path.

Basically, I just wanted to keep on top of whenever Microsoft is doing any live conferences anywhere in the world there is an RSS Feed or one location I can go to and see an international agenda, not just U.S. Does anyone know where to
go for this? I was going to set up an IFTTT action to text me on new conferences etc which would be a nice feature ;)
Thanks.
John.

Problems exporting to quicktime or you tube

my presentation simply wont export .. it gets stuck on the last slide then quits unexpectedly :((

Oscar I feel your pain !
We had similar problems from a recent seminar recording.
However I don't think it's length related. We recorded 15 presentations. 7 of which did not have slides. All those were fine with just our placeholder screen (25-ish minutes each)
Of the remaining 8 half exported finem, half crashed with the "disk full etc" error. All 8 presentations had slides imported from Powerpoint PC. Slide numbers ranged from 10 to 30. We could not determine a common denominator between the ones that crashed.
We tried removing transitions, deleting and re-inserting the original slides and a whole raft of other voodoo especially trying to hack the contents of the KN Package file in the hope of stumbling on to a fix ... to no avail.
This was a one-off live conference, no re-record possible. You don't want to hear this but we were forced to extract the audio and manually resynch All the presentations in Flash
You may have a better workflow, but you DO know you can control click the Keynote file, choose "Show Package Contents" and in there you will find all sorts of stuff including the .m4a audio file
This is a serious bug that render KN completely it's recording feature completely unusable.
But what has been most disappointing to me has been the absolute lack of any feedback from the stuff I have filed on this. Bug reports, Feature Enhancements, and the lack of comments from any of the Apple KN staff on this Apple KN board, does not speak well to the type of support for this product.
But here's the sting in the tail:
Having JUST completed the Flash workaround (at a cost of several thousand dollars in contracting) I just installed the KN 4.01 updater released today and all the files that would not export now do so just fine ! Grrrrrrrrrr.........
