Currently I am trying to incorporate a simple executeable into my VideoProducerService-derived own ProducerService., but I can't figure out some aspects of how the producer service works. Especially I am stuck with the start method of the service. As far as I understand it, for example the Videoproducer service does nothing more than calling vis with appropriate parameters passed in the options array. Therefore I wanted to replace vic by my own executeable and accordingly change the options passed to the called AGService._Start method. But when I remove the options self.streamDescription.location.host and self.streamDescription.location.port my producer service can't be added to my service manager because the service manager reports that the service is unreachable. I thought these values are only needed for vic to be able to broadcast its video stream and receive video streams, so I should be able to pass my own server information format at this point which is understandable by my executeable. So what do I have to pay attention to when replacing vic with my own executeable concerning the start method of the producer service, to avoid my service being unreachable ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Michael -- Michael Braitmaier HLRS University of Stuttgart Germany
