Veejay stats
============
None.
Veejay can stream over the Network
=================================================
With -p you can give Veejay's port offset
TCP socket for sending commands: + 0 (sayVIMS -h)
TCP socket for receiving status: + 1 (gveejay)
TCP socket for querying commands:+ 2 (gveejay - editlist/sampellist etc)
UDP multicast frame sender : + 3 (input stream multicast/other applications)
UDP multicast for sending commands: + 4 (sayVIMS -g)
How to activate:
1. veejay movie1.avi
2. veejay movie2.avi -p 5000
(Both movie clips must have identical properties!!)
veejay 2 makes a connection with veejay 1
3. sayVIMS "245:localhost 3490;" -p 5000 -h localhost
4. move mouse to veejay2 video window and press 'ESC'
if everything is OK, the video will be playing.
5. stop veejay1 (CTRL-C)
6. veejay2 will show last frame (press ESC)
7. restart veejay1
8. press 'ESC' in veejay2 to resume streaming (auto-reconnect)
Veejay can stream over the Network (UDP / Multicast )
=====================================================
How to activate:
1. veejay -V 224.0.0.50 -p 5000 -v movie1.avi
2. veejay -d -W <movie1 width> -H <movie1 height>
3. sayVIMS -h localhost -p 3490 "246:5000 224.0.0.50;"
4. press F7 to activate newest created stream
Veejay can receive OSC (Open Sound Control) messages over Multicast protocol
============================================================================
How to activate:
1. veejay --multicast 224.0.0.30 movie1.avi
Note that you must have 'multicast' enabled in your kernel configuration.
Use the tool 'mcastOSC' in test/OSC to send OSC messages to all
veejay's you have started with --multicast (on multiple hosts!!)
2. export MCAST_ADDR=224.0.0.30
4. mcastOSC -r 3495
Veejay can send/receive VIMS (Veejay Internal Message System) packets
over Multicast protocol
=============================================================================
How to activate:
1. veejay --multicast-vims 224.0.0.32 movie1.avi
2. veejay --multicast-vims 224.0.0.32 movie2.avi
3. sayVIMS -g 224.0.0.32 -f test/vims/magicmirror-vims.txt
How to setup multicast?
=======================
1. enable 'multicast' in kernel configuration
2. type 'route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0'
(or something similar, read the man page of route to figure out
what addresses are reserved for multicast)
What is multicast?
==================
Multicasts enables you to (ab)use the network topology to transmit
packets to multiple hosts.
Limitations
===========
1. Veejay can only stream to another veejay
2. All veejays must have identical video properties (fps,width,height, ... )
3. Veejay will drop frames when it cannot keep up (or when packets are dropped)
4. Audio is not supported
What header format?
===================
see libvjnet/packet.h for multicast packet definition
for peer-to-peer streaming, the first 11 bytes of the buffer indicate
width, height and format in plain ASCII: "%04d %04d %1d"
