Ja it works !
I cant believe how easy this one is
I got the swf (poor Quality however) using your description ...
I looked at the result with my win98 machine which is in the same subnet
The Jpeg image was static for me (did not change)
I downloaded the demo conf from the sourceforge page
with that i got my image onto my realplayer (using open http://location:8080/test.rm)
first also only static and forever the message buffering ...
So I disabled all other formats except the test.rm
I have to admit I turned up the framerate
Then when I turned it down again ...
at 160 kBit and 3 Frames a sec its lively ... if 25-30 seconds delayed
I got the Linux real player (PPC Mac) on a different subnet also doing sweetley
and thereby was testing with two clients
going back to 10 frames per seconds even at 320kB no Go
it;s a P3 550 with only 64 MB Ram and it was showing two ffservers in top taking up
49% each ...
other settings I tried:
res: 160x128
320kBit 10fps No go
320kBit 6fps great
160kBit 6fps Significantly worse quality (noiselike Artifacts)
160kBit 3fps ~ ok quality noticeable jumpiness in motion
Noticable the Keyword VideoSize even though specfied in the sample is not so supported
- how is it really handled ?
The code is C Argh... :(
But great stuff !
cheers
Tobias
