WRT54G and Blue Net Video Server

Hi I'm running a WRT54G with one wired computer and two wireless lap tops, I have a Blue Net Video single channel video server with one camera wired to it that I would like to plug into one of my open wired ports..... Now my question..... I want to keep all my computers secured from the outside public but would like to have the public view the live internet camera. The Blue Net Video camera box has it own IP address, I know very little about routers but was told it can be done ..... If anyone has used a Blue Net Video box I sure could use some help getting it on line..... I'm running Windows XP. Blue Nets web site is www.bluenetvideo.com
Thanks in advanced for the help.

You need to find out what ports you need for your video camera and forward those ports to the cameras IP address. I believe in your router to forward the ports you go to the Gaming & Applictions tab.

Can an early 2008 MacPro be reconfigured as an effective video server for 2 27" 2013 iMacs plus a New MACPRO (to be released) and how would be the best way to do it.

We are a small eiting studio with an early 2008 MacPro (maxed out on ram) with a 4 Port SATA card, 2 27" 2013 iMac's, and we will be purchasing a new MACPRO once they're released. We work with Final Cut X primarily and would like to create a server solution to share media assets between the computers as well as insure our media assets are protected. Ultimately we see us moving toward an LTO tape backup solution for projects and we currently use the Acera 8 slot 32tb Raid for media storage. We use .DMG's to organize projects and we've had success networking the MacPro to one of the 27" iMac's and we can effectively mount projects off of the RAID on to both computers as long as the .DMG for that project isn't mounted on both computers. However we can really only run background processing (like rendering or inputing video) we can't really edit as it appears even with a CAT6 capabled connecting the two still isn't enough to be able to edit.
Ideally when the new macpro comes out we would like to explore the ability of turning the 2008 MacPro into our server and buy an attached storage solution but I'm unsure if this will work, what we would need to do to make it work efficiently (read fast), and what my limitations might be. Is it as easy as installing a new PCI 4port 1gigE card in the back and connecting our 2 27" Imacs and the to be purchased new MACPRO to that and insalling OS X Server?
Most of our projects are recurring and ongoing and require us to share our extensive library of live performances as well as insure its availibilty all the time without having to install the RAID set associated with those projects. We have about 80tb's of video we'd like to keep accessible.
Any help is appreciated and I would be glad to fill in any blanks if I left any.
Lastly, I might add that I'm not a fan of onebox solutions from the vendors, I believe that Apple has the products I need to do what I'm talking about and most 3rd party one-box solutions end up out-moded with in years of purchase.
Thanks,

Gigabit Ethernet can be limiting for large file transfers, which usually segues into either 10 GbE NICs and/or (less desirably) link aggregation and/or an Xsan configuration with Fibre Channel SAN storage, if you really needed the I/O speed and scale.
If you're serving large volumes of data and it's the the server-to-host Gigabit Ethernet link that is the limit (as differentiated from the RAID array or related I/O link as the bottleneck), then you're left to either or both 10 GbE NICs and FC HBAs, whether via Thunderbolt HBA adapter or via FC HBA in a PCIe slot. (Thunderbolt is not an option on any current Mac Pro or Mac Pro Server I'm aware of. That'd be PCIe. Conversely, recent iMac systems have Thunderbolt and no PCIe. And there's no Thunderbolt to 10 GbE NIC listed by Apple.)
Discussions of the new Mac Pro are premature, beyond the information Apple has posted. (But I'd probably also wait a month or three after release of any new hardware and software, in any event.)

My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often

My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often and while surffing on net it gets very slow ...

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Aliasing on Red and Blue color in ALL Flash Player video playback (including YouTube)

We have noticed that Flash Player does not smoothly decode the colors red or blue in video files (such as YouTube/Vimeo/similar), resulting in nasty aliasing on text/edges of solid colour. The problem occurs on both Mac and Windows platforms, tested with Flash Player 11.3 to 11.5 and demonstrated using the video below:
https://vimeo.com/51914568
This video shows the issue clearly (you can switch between Vimeo's HTML5 Player to Flash Player. The red and green text is smoothly displayed in HTML5 Player or VLC/Quicktime Player). Note: watch in SD, not HD:
Only with Flash Player are edges aliased/jagged where they should be smooth. It's as if the resolution is dropped in half during the YUV decode.
I reported this today as Bug 3351502
Here's hoping Adobe can get this sorted as it means the entire content of YouTube (for example) has poor quality video in Flash player.
You can also clearly see this on this cocacola advert:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2nBBMbjS8w&feature=relmfu
CB

In general, the most expedient way to get your issue in front of an engineer (and to track progress on it) is to file a bug at http://bugbase.adobe.com/
I actually filed a bug on your behalf a while back. It was reviewed by an engineer from the video team, and closed as a duplicate of this bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3324604
It sounds like the problem is specific to H.264 video encoded with 10-bit color. You could re-encode your videos with 8-bit color as a temporary workaround to avoid the problem. If you're seeing the same problem with 8-bit color, please let me know.
The bug is currently open and assigned to an engineer from the video team.

Show and Share Connection to video server failed

I have an SNS server running version 5.2.3. Everything time I try to play a video I get an error stating Connection to video server failed. I am storing videos locally on the SNS server. I can't figure out why I am getting the error.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello Tom
1- Yes this is could be from license issue.Can you check the license for your Cisco SNS?.
2- Can you also restart services of Cisco show and share "streaming server" from Cisco DMM as attached.
3-Can you check the pairing is ok.
4-Did you have MXE integration , after uploading the video , what is the status of job "completed or failes".
Note:I got same problem before when i changed my FQDN from name to other but i fixed .
Thanks

Oracle Video Server information and support IP video livelife picture

Hi Friends,
Where can we find more information for Oracle Video Server and application?
Does Oracle Video Server support life video stream to display from IP video/Canera?
We test OMNicast video server. I found MS SQL server support this video server.
however, my application is oracle project. We like to bind oracle mapview with video application. Note. Not files based video application. It is live picture stream from IP video/camera.
Welcome any suggestion
Thanks

A Flash Video Server and Flash Security

We are using Flix and Squeeze to create new Flash 8 SWF
movies from our AVI files. Short 1 - 2 minute tutorials.
We would like to be able to save them on our server and allow
different websites to add a custom Flash Player to their site and
watch these videos from their pages. The player gets an XML
playlist of up to 50 videos and we would like to be able to play
one or more of the movies on the webpage of our partner.
However, this seems to cause (2) security violations in the
Flash 8 environment. We need to add a crossdomain.xml file on our
server to allow other sites to access our swf files, and
apparantly, we also need to use actionscript
System.security.allowDomain() to allow the parent SWF player to
control the video in the player (stop, start, pause, etc.).
Does anyone know more about this situation? How can we add
the allowDomain() to an SWF created by Flix or Squeeze, or is there
another way to communicate the allowDomain(). Can we pass anything
in the XML itself, does it have to be in the SWF.
In Flash 8, every SWF must communicate the allowDomain(). In
earlier versions of Flash, only one SWF needed to open the sandbox
for any other SWFs from that domain.
Did we misunderstand the requirement? Our Flash developer
can't figure out a way to make this happen, but I am sure others
have been able to make it work. Otherwise, how can any of the Flash
hosting companies allow these movies to be downloaded off of their
sites.
Any advice would be appreciated...

Hello Thanks for reply,
Its many to many chat and every one can speak and listen. There may be 10-12 users in a room at a time and also the number room can be several.
So what type of server I should take. Some delay is acceptable.

Use two streams to manager client video/audio,Can i combine streams and record it with server AS API

Use two streams to manager client video/audio,Can i combine streams and record it with server AS API
I tried Stream.play()
var s=Stream.get("combine");
s.play("video");
s.play("audio",null,null,false);
s.record("append");
it's don't work!!

Thanks, that's what I had thought. Our domain.com zone is sourced internally and replicated to our advertisers for external users, so there's no way to change the result for internal vs external users.
This is a rudimentary question that I should already know but I sort of inherited this after it was built: Can I have users sign in with their email address ([email protected]) but under the hood, their SIP address is [email protected]? This would let users
sign in with an address they expect, but it would take advantage of the the local lyncdiscoverinternal record.
Thanks,
Matt

JME CLDC how do I initiate the video in code and send to a server?

I am writing an App in JME for CLDC and I want to initiate in code, to start the video recorder, and send the video and audio to a server. Can I do, this and can someone point me to where I can learn how to do it please. I assume I would need to be connected to a 3G network . Could I do an equivalent thing using 2G and sending a series of photographs?

Sure, read what it says on your phone--brand name and make, then get in your file and get out the docs for it, or in the case you do not have them, contact the company that makes it and see what they have for development for your phone.
I don't mean to sound like a butthead, but you really need to check the developer docs for your specific device to see if there are interfaces to the features you want to use.

Mac Pro and DVI to Video Adapter

I just received a new Mac Pro with a GeForce 7300 card and was planning to use it in part to display video on a set of TV monitors using the Apple DVI to Video Adapter. Try as I might I have not been able to get the computer to recognize a TV regardless of the DVI port and using both S-Video and RCA. I now see that in Apple's store the converter is classified as Requiring a "MacBook Pro, Mac mini or Power Mac G5 with DVI port". Not sure if there's any way around this. The adapter has worked fine in the past with both a Mac Mini and a G5 tower. If anyone knows a possible workaround or if an updated adapter is forthcoming I would appreciate the information.

Just to be clear here: There is no way to get S-Video
output from my $~2700 machine (with the stock
7300gt)? Not even with (maybe forthcoming) additional
adapters? This is pretty embarrassing. Actually I'm
sorta angry.
Are there any other options like DVI->VGA->S-Video
maybe? I surely won't dump $150 into the trash just
to have that (supposedly) noisy beast of a x1900
screaming around here. Just for S-Video. This is
silly.
There are VGA to S-Video converters but they cost more than the Apple adapter. Here is one. Probable a bit fancier than you want. There are others.
<http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/PC-TVvideoadapter.html>
The Apple adapter is cheap because all the work is being done in the video card when it detects the adapter. The video card outputs the S-Video brightness and color, and the composite video on the DVI pins that would normally be used for analog red, green, and blue, using the A/D converters normally used for a CRT. The adapter just sends the signals to different connectors. The adapter won't do anything with a card that wasn't designed to output TV video.

XServe and Blue Screen!

The host server in my Xserve RAID boots fine to the log in screen. When I enter the username and password I get a brief black screen and then a full blue screen. Server is available remotely, but is now seemingly headless!! Would have thought video card except that on boot up I get all the normal video.... the username and password work remotely just fine. This seems to have become an issue with the 10.4.11 update to XServe software. Until that time video was fine.

Hi:
Just had a similar problem.
(And I think the solution might apply to Leopard Server as well as client versions of Tiger and Leopard.)
Last night, I applied the 2009-001 security update to our PPC Tiger Server. I did it via a download from Software Update, controlling the server's screen remotely from home via ARD.
Upon restart, I could not longer see or control the server via ARD, but the mail server was still working. ssh prompted me for passwords, but wouldn't let me connect.
So I came to the office this morning and found a blue screen and a spinning wheel cursor.
I tried a number of things, including:
--Starting in safe mode (it wouldn't)
--Single user mode and running fsck
--Repairing permissions using Disk Utility (via a start-up CD)
--Repairing the disk using Disk Utility (via a start-up CD)
--Resetting the PRAM
--Disconnecting peripherals
Then I saw a tip on-line somewhere and reinstalled the security update in the following manner:
--Download the update from Apple's downloads page on CPU-matching hardware (that is, a PowerPC Mac.)
--Connect via FireWire Target Disk mode.
--Double-click the installation package and install it on the server's hard drive. (This didn't work the first time I tried installing from an Intel Mac.)
--Restart.
And the server restarted and away we go.
I've got some mail server issues to repair (it appears), but at least it's running again.
I have not tried restarting again to see what happens.

WRT54G and multiple wireless machine (including gaming)

Hi all,
I had bought (as you can clearly see in the subject ) a WRT54G, as I wanted one to play online with the Wii and Playstation 3 (Mario Kart and Battlefield: Bad Company, in case you're interested ).
I also bought a Laptop (I was on a roll ), with <drum rolls> Wireless Support (duh) ... I was thinking though, comparing it to the Wireless-N series ... will I have any problems in games? Or will I have performance decreases? When someone is browsing and downloading via the laptop, and another person is playing a game ... will that affect each other?
What I mean to say, if you want something like this router for doing this stuff, is it a good router, or just acceptable? Will an N-router be a WAY better choice?
I still have a problem setting it up too, but that's a different issue. Sad isn't it ... starting CCIP, and having problems setting up a home wireless router .
Ciao,
Marco

I know a wireless N router can do the same.
What I mean is, is it reliable for online gaming? I have this WRT54G router, and I want to use it for gaming and a normal use of a laptop, but who knows, maybe also streaming videos (I tend to watch game and movie trailers). For me that's just "normal" use, I don't plan to download huge load of data with this connection, therefor I got a wired connection. And even if I had only a laptop, I'd connect it to a Ethernet port directly on the router.
I was playing Battlefield: Bad Company yesterday on the PS3, and I got sort of a laggie connection. With these console gaming, it's not usual it seems to connect to a server you want to connect to, but you're just connected to one. I have no idea what the ping response to this server is, and I can't see any troubleshooting methods on it either.
To be clear, for this use, and next year we'll be moving to a new house with concrete walls / floors, now it's wood ... what is best to do, to ditch the WRT54G and get a 160N ? Especially the gaming, I just don't want to get used to laggy gaming.

Problem with WRT54G and DSL NAT router

I have a WRT54G connected to a Westell DSL NAT router. I would like to be able to allow incoming connections to my FreeBSD server.
The Westell router allows me to set IP Passthrough (they call it "Single Static IP"). This gives the WRT54G the outside IP address given to the DSL router. I can then set up the WRT54G for DDNS and port forwarding to forward specific ports I want to my server.
This works, for about 2-3 days. Then, I start to randomly lose outside connectivity. Web pages start coming up with missing elements, or taking a long time to load. This will eventually lead to total loss of outgoing communication.
Normally, I would blame this on the Westell NAT router, but as I'm losing connectivity to the internet, I'm also losing connectivity to the WRT54G. It will try to load configuration pages but will be slow with missing elements, etc.
All communications between computers on my inside network continue to function properly, it's just connectivity to the WRT54G and the internet that seem to start to fail.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I just upgraded the firmware on the WRT54G from 1.01.1 to 1.02.0, but I don't imagine this will help.
Thanks,
David Chamberlain

Try setting the MTU to manual and change the value to 1450
