Using sspublisher.recipientIDs to specify viewers of screen sharing

Dear colleagues,
In the documentation here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/acrobatcom/com/adobe/rtc/collaboration/ScreenSharePublisher .html
i fount this lines of code:
//this is optional
  var userlist:ArrayCollection = connectSession.userManager.userCollection;
  var recipientIDs:Array = new Array();
  for(var i:int=0; i<userlist.length; i++){
    recipientIDs.push((userlist.getItemAt(i) as UserDescriptor).userID);
     // this is optional, default is everyone in the room can see the screen share
  sspublisher.recipientIDs = recipientIDs;
I'm trying to use it, but get "undefined property recipientIDs" in the last line. Would you please give an advise how should I specify the users that can view the screen sharing?
Here is my source:

Hi there,
Wow, this is a strange bug - the whole system for recipientIDs is set up in
the code, but the public property isn't exposed. Thanks for reporting this,
we'll get a fix in.
  In the meantime, you should be able to work around this issue by
subclassing the WebcamPublisher and adding the following methods :
public function set recipientIDs(p_ids:Array):void
   recipientIDs = pids;
public function get recipientIDs():Array
   return _recipientIDs;
Note that if your publisher is already publishing, you'll need to stop
publishing and start it again for this to take effect.
  thanks again for taking the time to post this. We'll have this corrected
in an upcoming release, and your feedback really helps.

  • Use FaceTime to record a video with screen sharing?

    I need to record a presentation, going back and forth between me talking and demonstrating my company's new iPhone app. The app runs in the Xcode iOS simulator on my MacBook, and my MacBook has a FaceTime camera (720p!). Is there a way to use FaceTime to record a video? Skype has screen sharing. You can just click a button and the caller sees what's on your computer screen. Then you click again to return to the caller seeing you talking. Does FaceTime have a screen sharing feature? Is there another app I should be using?

    I just did a little Googling and found eCamm:
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/
    It looks like it'll record a Skype call, and Skype has screen sharing. I'll download the demo version and try it out.

  • IChat screen sharing and video not working on MacBook but works on Mac pro

    I have a MacBook and MacBook pro. Both have the lion os 10.7.2. I can use iChat on the MacBook pro for screen sharing, video chat, and text chatting, with others remote to me. However, I can only do texting with the MacBook.  I can do screen sharing via Finder between my MacBook and MacBook pro. I can do FaceTime between both systems. I can also do FaceTime between the MacBook and anyone remotely.
    I also tried installing teamviewer on the MacBook, and on a remote MacBook..... And I get the same results where I cannot share the screen, from the one that has not been working.
    I have checked the settings under system preference and made sure screen sharing was enabled. I have checked under iChat under video to make sure screen sharing was checked.
    The macbook that is having this problem is configured for AIM for iChat
    I have run out of ideas. Any suggestions on what I might try?
    Thanks

    Ok,
    I will list the ports in greater detail and point out when iChat uses them.
    AIM Login and 1-1 Text Chatting
    iChat version 1  through 5 will Log in to the AIM server on port 5190 (TCP Protocol) by default.
    Since iChat 2 we have been posting here that the AIM servers allow a Login on almost any port and have been suggesting port 443.
    This is used by both Web Browsers for secure Login to some sites and by the Mail app with some mail servers.
    It is also below port 1024  (most domestic routers have the ports above this figure closed)  In some campus situations using port 443 will normally allow at least Login and Text chatting.
    iChat 6 uses port 443 by default.
    File Transfers (AIM)
    When doing File Transfers with AIM Buddies iChat will move to using Port 5190 on the UDP Protocol.
    This cannot be changed.  (This invokes the little Message about Starting Direct IM in an open Chat)
    It also uses this port for Pics-in-chats, dropping Files on a Buddy's name with out a Chat or sending other files that are not pics.
    In the case of Port Forwarding some devices don't like port 5190 being forwarded "twice" which is another reason for moving the login and Text chat port.
    Jabber Logins
    No matter what Jabber server you use ichat will use one of two ports (5222 and 5223)
    Which one it uses is dependent on whether it needs and is using an SSL Login or not.
    SSL Logins use port 5223 and NON SSL one use 5222 (ticking or Unticking the SSL box on a Jabber account will automatically change the port).
    Google Talk is the exception in that it allow a Login on port 443 as well.
    The First Apple Doc I linked you to says iChat uses port 5220 in Jabber.
    I run Little Snitch and have never seen any version of iChat use this port at any time.
    Bonjour
    Any Mac to Mac Connection or Mac to any Bonjour able peripheral will be on port 5353.
    This is normally opened (Preset) in the Mac Firewall for the Finder/System side of Sharing.
    iChat needs and uses two other ports  (5297 UDP and 5298 on both TCP and UDP)
    As they an LAN Side connections the router would normally pass them.
    At iChat 3 there were issues with the Mac Firewall (it included UDP set up and the preset in the firewall only listed them and TCP so we had people add all the iChat ports  (you had to manually enter them in Tiger)
    A/V Chats
    No matter which Buddy List you start from iChat will do A/V chats the same way.
    The Visible Invite you or your Buddy sends is on port 5678 (UDP)
    In iChat 3 and earlier iChat then moves to port 5060 to send the SIP Connection Process invite behind the scenes  (SIP = Session Initiation Protocol)
    Port 5060 is one of 4 ports internationally agreed for SIP (How VoIP phones connect) (5060-5063).
    Although ISPs were not supposed to block Through traffic many started blocking End users  and then Charging them to open these ports (Many ISP were telecom companies that were losing long distant Telephone calls monies).
    The SIP process then in iChat 3 contacts a server run by Apple for this purpose (Snatmap.mac.com to give it it's full name).
    This acts like a old fashioned telephone operator connecting the call.
    SIP is a text based process.
    Your end "Calls" the operator.
    The Operator "Calls" Buddy.
    Buddy Accepts
    iChat then negotiates the ports to be used.
    In iChat 2 and 3 it uses 4 ports (vid in Vid out, Audio In and Audio Out) from "the group of 20" starting at the bottom (16384 to 16387 normally)
    Three and 4 way chats uses more ports (which is why 20 are set aside)
    In iChat 4 Apple realised the issue with the 5060 port and changed the way iChat worked
    Since then it has Sent the invite on Port 5678 but then moved to port 16402 (it starts at the top of a smaller group of 20)
    All Video and Audio traffic is also now on one port  (so no need for 20 ports and iChat now lists 10).
    NOTES so Far.
    File Sharing during a Chat converts the Chat to Direct IM for AIM Logins
    This is Peer-to-Peer in AIM
    A/V Chats are Peer-To-Peer and you can actually log out of the Buddy list and continue the chat. (The exception is using iChat 6's  AIM Video relay option)
    Screen Sharing
    Screen Sharing is an Audio Chat with a VNC connection along side.
    Both bits have to wok to avoid the Pop-up to send to Apple and the Log that contains.
    The Audio part is on port 16402 and the VNC part is random. (So random it is different every time you do it)
    The reason it is classed as an Audio Chat+ is so the AppleScript for Auto Accept can  filter out Screen Sharing connection and Not Auto Accept them.
    This does have a knock on effect as far as your Router is concerned as already mentioned earlier.
    You cannot Forward or Trigger the random Port so you have to use UPnP in your router to open the ports.
    NOTES
    Jabber File sharing may possibly be on port 1080 as listed in the Server Article I linked you to (I have also seen it written about in other stuff I have come across)
    However Little Snitch does not seem to confirm this either.
    Most time it will be peer-to-peer like the AIM connections for this.
    However some Jabber servers do not seem to allow this and have this Jabber65 Proxy set up which passes things Server to Server in between it leaving your end and arriving at a Buddy.
    This on  Port 7777 but you do not need to open this port (unless you are running a Jabber server)
    I have yet to test File Transfers using a Yahoo Buddy List in iChat 6.
    AppleCare and Geniuses.
    Previously I have been contacted by Geniuses in Stores asking to test customer's iChat.
    They and the Applecare people have details about Apple wants an designed the App to work.
    What they don't have is the knowledge about what it takes to set it up in the "real world".
    There are literally thousands of Makes and Models of routers.
    Some like the Thomson-Alcatel brand state they are SIP/VoIP ready but this means the router strips out all SIP Data trying to send it to a Phone.
    Early models of Alcatels can get around this with a tweak. Later models can't.
    Motorola devices tend not to have UPnP.
    Apple Base Stations have Port Mapping Protocol instead of UPnP and this needs setting up.
    The Zyxel range definitely does not like the dual use of port 5190 and does much better using UPnP (You almost certainly have to do your AIM login on port 443 with these).
    1. I have two computers (MacPro and MacBook Pro) that are both running Lion 10.7.2 and both running iChat 6.0.1.  <<-- Fine
    2. The Netgear router model is: WNDR3700.    <<<<---  With any Brand there are exceptions and I do wonder about this one
    3. The firewall for both Macs is turned on and in the advanced area iChat is listed as being "allowed."  <<<<---- Fine
    4. In iChat, under the video options, "Screen Sharing Allowed" is checked.                                        <<<<<---- Fine
    5. In System Preferences, "Screen Sharing" is checked and this is for "All Users" at present.               <<<<<---- Not Required
    6. There are two separate AIM accounts being used for iChat purposes.                                            <<<<<----  OK
    7. In iChat preferences, each AIM account is "Enabled" under "Account Information" and the "Server Settings" show the Server as "api.oscar.aol.com" and the Port is "443" and "Use SSL" is checked.                                <<<<---- As it should be
    From this and the other info in the first port it was only the router set up that seem to throw some light on a possible cause (Port Forwarding and UPnP conflict)
    If just doing Port Forwarding the ports listed would have covered things (Except the Screen Sharing's random port)
    Regarding your latest post.
    I have  table similar to that on my Sagem 2504Fast Modem/router combined device and it too seems to list a different port on the external side on occasions.
    I would try the router with the Disable SIP ALG unticked (so it is not disabled). If the Help info on the right gives any info about what this Netgear version does it would be helpful.
    Some are like the Thomson-Alcatels I was talking about in that it points the SIP data to a specific place (Possibly a Phone socket on the device)
    Others seem to provide an "boost"  to enable SIP to work and don't seem to get in the way of iChat.
    Try adding the Names in Table 1 from this page and see if you can Video to those.
    There are 6 names in total (I am actually only seeing one on Line as I type)

  • Ichat video not working when screen sharing into iMac in target display

    I have my MBP (current model) plugged into my 27" iMac and using it as an external monitor. If I screen share into the running iMac from my MBP, several things aren't working properly. When I try to use iChat video, iChat crashes. Full size images don't show up in iPhoto or Preview. Both of these things do work on the iMac when it is not acting as my display when screen sharing into it. Is there a fix for this? As I would still like to be able to use some functions on my iMac through screen sharing when it is being used as my display for the MBP.

    You are on your MBP. You have the iMac in Target Display Mode. You are using the iMac's display with the MBP with TDM. At the same time you are using Screen Sharing on the MBP to access your iMac.
    Screen Sharing is never a full size view, it is always a window on the Mac's display with a smaller than full size resolution.
    The 27" iMac's iSight is not available to use when the iMac is in Target Display Mode. Neither are its USB or FireWire ports.

  • Has Anyone Gotten Screen Sharing To Work Religiously?

    Since its inception, I've been so excited about this for helping family members and its hit and miss for me - always has been, no matter how I configure things. In fact 99% of the time it just doesn't work. Has anyone gotten it to work all the time with everyone they try it with?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I can.
    It needs UPnP to be used to open ports rather than Port Forwarding as it uses a random port to do the Screen Sharing.
    This Article tells you the ports for iChat for the AV chats (In Tiger) and the Bonjour and Jabber ports.
    This one tells you the AV ports in ichat 4 (What it does not do is remind you you need the Jabber and Bonjour ports)
    The Second one says nothing about the Screen Sharing port.
    Those of us that have tested using Little Snitch that tells you IPs and Ports says it is random.
    I helped someone today (About 30 mins ago) who was using a 2wire device.
    It did not have any Port Forwarding set, nor could I see any UPnP in the settings
    (I could Share his screen from My end by he could not share mine)
    We found on looking through his router settings that it had a Stealth and Ping block enabled
    We disabled the Ping Block and he was able to Share my Screen.
    On the basis he was having successful Video chats (USA to Holland and to me in England) these setting change seemed to smallest we should try.
    Ideally I would say use UPnP in the devices at either and and disable Features such as Ping Blocking, DoS (Denial of Service) and SPI (Stateful Packet inspection).

  • Screen sharing icon in Messages dimmed out when it shouldn't be

    Running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on 2009 27" iMac. I was attempting to share my screen with another person also running OS X Yosemite (also 10.10.2) via Messages and the screen sharing icon is dimmed out (while both FaceTime video and audio icons are NOT dimmed out). I went through creating and entering an app specific password for both Messages and FaceTime and my iCloud account is signed into both. Tried signing out and back in as well, but that did not resolve it. Tried rebooing as well, but the issue remains. The other person is able to screen share with other individuals running Yosemite so I assume it's something on my end, but I have no idea what.
    Ideas?

    Hi,
    The App is Messages.
    It can have an iMessages account is use.
    This distinction is becoming more important as time goes on.
    In Yosemite the Messages App can start a  Video (or Audio and also Screen Sharing) two different ways.  (it's related bear with me).
    As the iChat app the AIM and Jabber accounts have been able to Video chat within the app since iChat 2 for AIM accounts and iChat 3 for Jabber when it was added.  (Screen Sharing is added at iChat 4)
    This needs the Video Menu > Enable the three items for Video, Audio and Screen Sharing.
    In Yosemite the iMessages account can start a video from the Main window when a text Chat is going on using the Details option to right.
    To start an AIM Video chat (same for Jabber and Bonjour) you need the Buddy list to be displayed, Highlight the Buddy and then use either the icon at the bottom of the Buddy List or the Buddies menu.
    To Start an iMessages Video chat you need to first set up FaceTime with the same Apple ID account (it can be done with a different ID but this can cause confusing at the other end about who is calling).
    Then you use the Details option having started a Text (iMessages) chat with them.
    This in turn Invokes the FaceTime App and 'Calls' the ID your are iMessaging to.  If you are using a different ID in FaceTime they see that and not the one in the iMessages account.
    Screen Sharing
    Screen Sharing is similar in that it (iMessages account) invokes an outside app to do the Screen Sharing.
    You first need to go to System Preferences > Sharing and enable the Screen Sharing item.
    Then in Messages in the Main window during a iMessages Chat/conversation with someone you need to use the Details option top right and select the Linked Squares for the Screen Sharing.
    This invokes the Screen Sharing App (System/Library/Core Services/Applications) and connects the two computers with and Audio chat along side.
    For the iChat type accounts (AIM, Jabber and Bonjour) you use the Buddy list like the Video chats.
    NOTES.
    If you have other Macs on your LAN and they appear in the Finder's Side bar as Shares you can select them and use the button in the Finder Window to Screen Share with those Macs.
    This too invokes the Screen Sharing app.
    Another way is to use the Go Menu in the Finder > Go to Server and enter VNC:// and the IP address instead of AFP or SMB (Or Browse instead)
    In the System Preferences > Sharing you will also find Remote Management.
    This cannot be on the same time as Screen Sharing. However in use from the Finder it allows the Screen Sharing described above.
    All of these use the Client end of Apple Remote Desktop (ARD).
    However the Finder methods described do not come wither Audio Chat described for the iMessages  or AIM/Jabber/Bonjour way.
    Also if you try to use the Details method with an AIM or Jabber of Bonjour Buddy it will not work as it tries to do this the iMessages way.
    Basically "icons" and "Messages"  is not enough to say where you are in the app to pin point this further.

  • IChat screen sharing - beat head against wall

    Been going at this for hours to try and solve my attempt to have my dad share his screen with me. I'll try to list all relevant info for assistance. I have read many of Ralph Jones' posts, but I haven't resolved my situation. I am trying to use screen sharing with my Dad.
    I recently moved 12 miles, keeping the same ISP Frontier with dsl and they gave me a different modem. Went from the Westell A90 - 750045 - 07 to the Netgear B90 - 7550044 - 07. Software interface is the same. The other change this week was I "upgraded" my Dad to an iMac G4 1.25 with 10.5, gaining screen sharing in iChat. He had a older iMac with 10.4 before the upgrade. I have a MacBookPro with 10.6.8. Also, part of the new move I started using the OBi110 voip device for Google Voice free phone calls. I worked on this problem with the device plugged in and removed from router. My screen sharing issue continued both ways. May be an issue, don't know. Port conflict? Issue continues when it's unplugged.
    We can video chat and audio chat and text. After failing to screen share with the new Netgear, I switched back to the Westel. Screen sharing working for 1-2 seconds then stopped. I believe with both routers I got 'Screen sharing failed to start because" An unknown connection error occurred." '
    After messing with port forwarding on the Westel with no success, out of frustration I switched back to the Netgear and here I am hoping to get this to work. It SEEMS that port forwarding is the issue talked about the most, so I'll explain the best I was able to do with this. Here is a screen shot of my port forwarding.
    Also, connection doctor says this for both modems.
    My dad's connection doctor does not have the Network status option (older version of iChat), so I can't isolate the problem to him or me, except that I believe it is with me.
    I think I told you all the info and I have found is trying to solve this. I would  GREATLY appreciate any help.

    Hi,
    1) My name is Ralph JOHNS 
    2) The first posts does not show me pics from some reason.
    3) the second post pic has nothing to do with iChat or Messages Screen Sharing.  It is about a stand alone app that can also be used.
    4) forget Port Forwarding.
    Screen Sharing in iChat or Messages is a Audio Only chats with a VNC connection alongside.
    The VNC part is on a random port and therefore cannot be set up in Port Forwarding or Port Triggering.
    You should use UPnP.
    Most Netgears (when using their Own Software) tend to have a menu item for UPnP and it is also ON by Default.
    However I think the Netgear you list is a branded software option for the ISP you have.
    Undo any Port Forwarding settings.
    Turn On any UPnP setting  (Should be a simple Enabled/Disable check box).
    If the Google Voice is a piece of Hardware make sure it is on it's own port.
    A Company called Vonage do somethings similar but the instructions are to put it in line between the router and the computer.
    This causes problems as it then tends to "suck" all SIP data and try and send it to the phone whereas iChat and Messages use the same SIP Protocol to initiate calls.
    (SIP = Session Intiation Protocol)

  • Black artifacts in Screen Sharing

    Hi everyone,
    do you also get these black artifacts from time to time when using Screen Sharing from a 10.7 Client to a 10.7 Server? Moving windows around sometimes removes them, but they do reappear.

    I am experiencing the same exact problem using os x lion's built-in screen sharing app. It's driving me insane. I always have to grab a window and drag it aroung the screen to clear out these artifacts. I am running screen sharing ver 1.3 on both machines; macbook pro (mid-2010) to mac mini 2011 (latest). How do i apply this ARD update. Aren't these updates for the full version of the Apple Remote Desktop application? I was really hoping that the latest update to lion 10.7.1 would address this issue.

  • How do I use my Intel iMac to see the screen on my old G5

    The screen on my old G5 is fading fast and I would like to connect it to my newer Intel iMac and use it's screen to be able to see what i'm doing. Is there a way to do that?

    Fortunately I was just able to make out the Screen Sharing check box on my older Mac. As soon as I checked it and opened the file on the newer Mac there was the screen. Perfect. Thanks so much.

  • Can I display EyeTV's live TV over HDMI-out and be able to see my desktop using screen-sharing on a headless mac-mini used as a media-box?

    Hi,
    I'm thinking of buying a new mac-mini to replace my current one which acts as an iTunes server and records TV programs using eyeTV. I connect using screen-sharing/VNC to be able to do stuff on it (like handbrake etc.)
    I have eyeTV with a satelite receiver and I want to change the setup so that:
    - the new mac-mini continues to work as an iTunes server (and handbrake workhorse)
    - I can use the HDMI output (inc. audio) to show eyeTV's live TV full-screen app
    - I can connect using screen-sharing/VNC to the mac-mini and see my normal desktop to be able to maintain it etc. but this is a headless display (no screen is connected to the display-port).
    - recorded media I'd play through the appleTV2 still + rentals etc. unless anyone knows if eyeTV software can offer up iTunes content? I don't like the eyeTV recordings in general as it seems very slow to me for access when there are lots of recordings and wouldn't be available in other apleTVs in the house AFAIK.
    The main benefit that this gives me is that I'd no longer need a seperate satelite box to watch live TV and can add more eyeTV hardware to get additional TV channels all through the same HUD on the TV for ease of access.
    Does this seem possible in theory & practice (ie are there any gotcha's to consider?)
    - can I force the HDMI output resolution to 1080i as I go via an amp to the TV and the appleTV2 drops to low-res in this configuration so I have had to find a workaround for that.
    - does the mac-mini have IR input that can be programmed?
    - Does eyeTV software remain stable for long periods?
    - Does the HDMI out have any handshake issues that would need a reset of the display (somehow)?
    thanks in advance for any thoughts/contributions
    Lee

    I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
    With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
    The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
    You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.

  • Can you use screen sharing outside of your local network?

    I've been poking around with the "screen sharing" in osx Lion. I have a few questions about it.
    Firstly, is the built-in screen sharing only accessible through the finder?
    Also, is it only available on local networks? I've gotten it to work on two computers on the same network. But, can I use in the built-in screen sharing to look at my work iMac while I'm at home on my Macbook? Or would I need a full VPN client to do this? (Although isn't there built-in VPN compatibility in Lion?)
    Thanks!

  • How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?

    How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?
    I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
    Any suggestions?  App downloads that can do this?  Please let me know.

    You can't do it.  This has been an issue since Lion.

  • Is it possible for multiple users to use a "generic" account simultaneously without screen sharing?

    Hey and thanks for checking out the thread.
    I am wondering if it is possible to have users use a generic account at the same time without any sort of screen sharing.
    I have set up a generic user account (for example useraccount, password 1234) for users to use in the time before I can set up a custom user name for them. However, I have run into some issues with this.
    When multiple users log on using this generic account, their applications seem to be shared on each screen. In the room with multiple Mac workstations, if someone starts working on Photoshop, Photoshop will open on every one elses screen who is logged on under that generic account.
    Is it possible for users to log on using a generic network account and have their own isolated work environment or is this sort of sharing a feature? I am new to Mac servers and am not sure.
    Thanks for reading the thread.

    That shared-account approach seems impractical for the various reasons you've identified, as well as the inevitable issue of cleaning up the detritus that'll inevitably build up in a shared account, and for the lack of accountability for activities occuring under the shared account for both auditing and security, and sharing directories would tend to introduce obscure conflicts around which-file-version-wins file updates when the same file is used in several places, and would probably be contrary to any per-user application software licensing agreements that might be involved.
    Put another way, get unique accounts created for folks, and work toward the ability to create accounts for arriving folks, and — if it's applicable here — talk to management about getting any per-user software licensing issues sorted out, whether that's having spare copies purchased and ahead or some advanced notice on accounts, or establishing group software licensing where that's available.
    AFAIK, there are tools around which can automate account creation, too.  Either generic, a tool such as Passenger, or it's certainly feasible to script the account creation sequence.
    Trying this shared-access generic-account approach just looks like it can create more work and more hassles and more effort to me...
