Tandberg Video Streaming

[MKVAZ]

Can anyone tell me if they have successfully been able to stream using the Tandberg 2500 ?

[robertk]

Sure, works perfectly!

What kind of problems do you have?

The problem I am having is that when you launch the stream via the web page, it appears to take, the Quick time comes up, but the video does not load nor play. I ensured I had proper software versions on both the Tandberg and the quicktime, and the correct broadcast IP set. This is not working on intranet nor internet.

I know it works, I was doing it yesterday by streaming A Christmas Story from my codec on the LAN :)

You can also go directly into QuickTime and open a 'new URL' and type in http://yourcodecIP/stream.sdp.

Thanks, I'll try that.

It will not work on a MXP codec. Atleast not with F1.4 SW.

The Mime-type is not presented correctly from the MXP codec for the stream.sdp file:

On a Classic 880:

~$ lynx --head http://ipnumberof880codec/stream.sdp
HTTP/1.1 200 Document Follows
Content-type: application/sdp
Expires: 0
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-length: 199


On a MXP:

~$ lynx --head http://ipnumberofMXPcodec/stream.sdp
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 200

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This should be solved in the next MXP release from TANDBERG. Atleast that's what R&D promised :^)

Another thing to check is that the TTL(Time To Live) settings on the streaming packets, is configured accordingly to as many routers you have to pass trough.

I belive 1 is default.

If you have 2 routers between your computer and your Tandberg it will fail.

By increasing the number, you can solve this issue.

Interesting. Works in my office.

Sorry,

I was also going to say that this is only NOT working if you enter the URL in a Web-browser.

So try entering http://yourcodecIP/stream.sdp into your IE instead.

The R&D guys at Tandberg has fixed the MIME-bug in F1.5, thanks.
