P2p video streaming using jmf (is it possible to "forward" the stream ?)

Hello
In my project a peer will start streaming captured video from the webcam to his neighbors and then his neighbors will have to display the video and forward(stream) it to their neighbors and so on . So my question is can i do this using jmf , a simple scenario will be : peer_1 streams to peeer_2 and then peer_2 to forward(stream) the video received from peer_1 to peer_3 .
I've read the jmf2_0 guide and i've seen that it's only possible to stream from a server to a client and that's about it , but i want also the client to pass the stream forward to another client ... like for example [http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/593/p2pjmf.gif|http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/593/p2pjmf.gif]
I want to know at least if this it's possible with jmf or should i start looking for another solution ? and do you have any examples of such projects or examples of forwarding the stream with jmf ....
thanks for any suggestions

You can do what with JMF. Once you receive the stream, it's just a video stream. You can do anything you want with it...display it, record it, or send it as an RTP stream.

HT3529 In ios 7 ,it is not possible to forward the received sms? Why this feature has been removed in ios7.

In my iphone, in the earlier version of ios, it was possible to forward the received sms,using the edit option. In ios 7 ,this feature does niot exist. Hence i am not able to forward recd sms.

Hold down on said text, until you see copy/more - hit more - then you'll see the option to do so.

Screen presenter application in an RTP stream using JMF - very slow..

I am trying to build a screen presenter application using JMF. I got the AVTransmit2 code to run with the Screen grabber data source. I use the following calls
java AVTransmit2 screen://0,0,160,120/10 224.122.122.122 2222
- java AVReceive2 224.122.122.122/2222
The AVReceive does receive the screen data stream in RTP, but either there are too many artifacts(h263) or it is too slow(JPEG format). Is there a way to optimize the screen grabber data source or the encoding somehow to make this more efficient?

You're probably trying to broadcast a very, very high resolution video (your screen is probably a minimum of 1024x768) at a very, very high framerate (30 fps, I'd bet).
A DVD runs at 640x480 at around 30 frames per second.
You're trying to broadcast a video feed with over two and a half times as much visual information as a DVD has, and that's before you throw in that a DVD is encoded using MPEG4 compression.
In the end, you're probably trying to broadcast 754,974,720 bits per second (1024x768x32(bit color)x30(fps)), or roughly trying to dump 1 CD-RWs worth of data to your network card per second...
You want it to work well, you're going to need to decrease both the framerate and transcode the full-size video down into a smaller size...
Or you can go into the DataSource code and modify the resolution of the screen capture image before it's compiled into the video. That would also work.

Hi,
Here is the sample code for playing the movie.
public class MoviePlayer extends JFrame implements ControllerListener {
private Player player = null;
public static void main(String args[]) {
new MoviePlayer(args[0]);
public MoviePlayer(String movieFile) {
getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
setSize(new Dimension(200, 200));
setVisible(true);
setTitle(movieFile);
loadMovie(movieFile);
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
player.stop();
player.deallocate();
System.exit(1);
private void loadMovie(String movieFile) {
try {
MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator("file:" + movieFile);
player = Manager.createPlayer(ml);
player.addControllerListener(this);
player.start();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoPlayerException npe) {
npe.printStackTrace();
public synchronized void controllerUpdate(ControllerEvent ce) {
if (ce instanceof RealizeCompleteEvent) {
Component comp;
if ((comp = player.getVisualComponent()) != null)

Using CAN bus to transport and play the stream audio data

hello,
Just want to build a PC-Based control network using CAN bus (Ethernet not considered).The system is separated two parts , one is the front unit(FU), and the other is the centeral unit(CU). FU performs dialing-up number to the CU , and play the stream audio media data come from CU, CU monitor the telephone call activated from FU's user , send rm or mp3 data to the FU . I'd like to know if CAN bus could realize this function？ if it can , which hardware must be supplied ? Is there any suggestion that not use PBX to realize the voice (telphone) communication ? Please give an solution , your advise is greatly appreciated . Thanks.
David

Hi David,
the CAN protocol essentially just gives you the ability to transfer (broadcast) up to eight data bytes across the network at a maximum data rate of 1 Mbit/s.
There are so-called higher level (or layer) protocols that further specify the data exchange between a data producer can the consumer (DeviceNet, CANopen, etc.).
If your application is not tied to any of those protocols, that means you have the freedom to design all (CAN) nodes of your network, you can implement your own protocol based on the eight data bytes and the arbitration ID CAN offers.
For more information on the CAN protocol, take a look at appendix B of the NI-CAN Hardware and Software Manual, or visit the web site of CAN in Automation (CiA).
For your particular application you would need a CAN port on both the FU and the CU (preferably high-speed physical layer) and a PCI interface CAN card for you development.

How to merging two audio stream using jmf?

I have received two rtp audio stream，i want to merging this to one but createMergingDataSource dou work well。please help 。

You might use an alternative approach: Run exec task and use a external tool to do the encoding.
You can for example use "The Swiss army knive of Sound" :) SoX: http://sox.sourceforge.net/
I think from a performance point of view or to handle large files it would be even recommended in using such tools rather then encoding inside your application ... that might be different if you need to do the encoding in real-time ...

Thanks for your inputs. Can you please send me the code stuff how we can use ObjectRelationalDescriptor. I tried to do that by doing following steps
1. Crated one class

poData.setKay("ddd");
poData.setValue("ddd");
2. oracle.toplink.objectrelational.ObjectRelationalDescriptor descriptor =
     new oracle.toplink.objectrelational.ObjectRelationalDescriptor();          descriptor.setJavaClass(oracle.iam.reconciliation.vo.InputOfTypeMap.class);
          descriptor.setStructureName("COL_DATA_PAIR");
          descriptor.addFieldOrdering("column_name");
          descriptor.addFieldOrdering("data");
          descriptor.addDirectMapping("key", "column_name");
          descriptor.addDirectMapping("value", "data");
3. I was not sure how to use this further StoredProcedureCall
Can you plese help me, how we can do that?

I'm trying to record audio and video simultaneously using iMovie and an external mic and the computer is picking up the audio but when I replay the video there is no sound. Any ideas?

Can't get iMovie to record audio and video at the same time using the built in cam and an external mic.

iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
(note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

Is it possible to forward the same port for 2 different computers?

i have WoW and some other programs on 2 pcs that need to use the same port at the same time, and i was wondering if it is at all possible?

My guess is your only choice is probably with Port Triggering. This requires the application to send outbound data through a predetermined port in order to trigger the inbound port(s) to open.

Fast acquring of images using JMF

Hello!
I have been trying to write a class for reading frames from a video camera using JMF, however the BufferToImage.createImage appeared to be very slow -- the code is fast if the method is commented out. How can I get the images faster? Or perhaps read pixels directly from the video stream buffer? Or is there another problem with the code? If BufferToImage was constructed using Buffer.getFormat, it was also slow.
I attach the code that I have used for reading the frames.
Sincerely,
Artur Rataj

This is how you do this:
First you must know upfront what type of a format your camera is using,
all the valid formats are static members of BufferedImage.
Next you need to create a BufferedImage of the same format.
Here is an example:
My creative webcam is set to: 640x480 RGB 24bit color. i Create a BufferedImage into which i will copy the buffer:
BufferedImage buff = new BufferedImage(640,480,BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
Next the copy operation where appropriate
cbuffer is my javax.media.Buffer from which i will copy the image data:
System.arraycopy((byte[])cbuffer.getData(), 0, ((DataBufferByte) buff.getRaster().getDataBuffer()).getData(),0,img_size_bytes);
Things to note here, are i cast the cbuffer.getData() to byte[] because that is the type of data this is. I cast buff.getRaster().getDataBuffer() to DataBufferByte because the bufferedimage is of type TYPE_3BYTE_BGR.
also, img_size_bytes equals to 640*480*3
This operation will copy the raw buffer into your buffered image avoiding the use of BufferToImage
Only problem is the image will be flipped, but just flip the webcam to correct this =)
