Questions[video](server)

I'm teaching a class IPv6 and would like to create a lab for them to see the true benefit of ipv6 multicasting in action.

I created a multicast address for myself

ff15::1 (where ff is multicast, 1 is transient, no rsvp, and 5 is site scope). I then gave myself a group id of 1.

I get an "No route to host" error when trying to start the stream. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

ps: I know almost nothing about streaming.

...
main debug: net: connecting to [[FF15::1]]:1234
main warning: [FF15::1] port 1234 : No route to host
access_output_udp error: failed to create raw UDP socket
main warning: no sout access module matching "udp" could be loaded
main debug: TIMER module_need() : 1.171 ms - Total 1.171 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 1.171 ms)
stream_out_standard error: no suitable sout access module for `udp/ts://[FF15::1]'
...

Surely if its a brand new multicast, there won't be a route to host until someone listens?

I'm planning an Asterisk configuration that should record videocalls and then feed it to an application.

From what I've researched, it seems like app_h234m is the way to go. But it's not clear to me what are the hardware requirements for this.

Can someone enlighten me?

I would like an easy-to-setup site to handle videos to be viewed internally by my company. YouTube is essentially the perfect solution except for its being public. I'm looking for a place where a few people can upload videos, and the system will return a page where they can watch that video in a browser.

I figure this would involve a dedicated Web server to run the Web application and process the videos. I've searched and I don't think such a system exists, but I perhaps there's one out there in its infancy that doesn't rank high on Google yet.

Essentially the site I'm looking for is what MediaWiki is to Wikis, or what StackExchange is to Q&A sites, but for videos.

We had a bunch of Windows 2008 servers configured by a tech, then racked with and hooked up to an IP KVM. Unforunately, the monitor used during configuration was a widescreen LCD, and now Windows is initialized to a resolution out of range for the KVM as well as the screen onsite.

We found that we can edit HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet... and then reboot the machines. But I'd prefer not to have to make all of them reboot.

Is there a way to restart the video driver or otherwise change the console resolution remotely, without a reboot?

I'm using UltraVNC on my Vista machine, and it's giving me very poor performance, even over a 300 mbs network. It seems to be doing screen polling.

I looked, and it doesn't look like the video hook driver is working. Does anyone know if you can use a video hook driver with Vista?
