Howdy,
has anyone tried the linux version of xnetview ?
I am getting:
./xnetview
./xnetview: using incompatible library '/usr/lib/libc.so.4'
Desire minor version >= 6 and found 5
resolv+: "bind" is an invalid keyword
resolv+: "hosts" is an invalid keyword
Xnetview v1.0b2.0 (Linux) (c) 1993-1994 Xing Technology.
And is not able to locate any of the servers so I guess this is
a problem "resolv" incompatibility issue.
Tnks,
Amancio

Video goes live on the Internet
Two vendors touting technology that can broadcast real-time video over
the Internet are playing one-upsmanship by delivering video coverage of
major industry trade shows over the Net.
Next week, Xing Technology Corp., Arroyo Grande, Calif., and partners
will broadcast video coverage of the entire Comdex trade show live over
the Internet. Earlier this month, start-up VDOnet Corp. launched its
competing video-over-the-Net technology at the Internet World trade
show, including the delivery of keynote addresses and reports from the
show floor.
Although Net surfers have been able to download video clips over the
Internet for some time, they were required to spend several minutes or
more downloading large files, playing them back from their hard
drives.
With Xing and VDOnet, users click on a video link from their Web
browser, which fires up the video player. Within seconds the video and
synchronized audio begins playing back on-screen. And thanks to video
compression technologies, even modem users running 14.4 kb/s modems can
see the "Net-casts," albeit only at rates of several frames per
second.
Xing's StreamWorks technology was unveiled this summer. It uses
software-based MPEG compression to deliver video and high-quality audio
over Internet Protocol networks, including private networks and the
Internet. Last month, Xing announced a new version of StreamWorks that
can deliver video even to users with low-speed modems. A process called
"thinning" narrows the video stream and sends only essential frames
down to the user, said Howard Gordon, Xing president and CEO.
This week, Xing will partner with Array Microsystems Inc, Los Gatos,
Calif., Best Internet Communications, Mountain View, Calif., and
Visitel Network, Las Vegas, to deliver around-the-clock, 120-hour video
coverage of Comdex over the Internet. Beginning today, the coverage can
be seen on the Web at http://www.comdextv.com . A Xing player--for
Windows, Macintosh and Unix platforms--can be downloaded from
http://www.xingtech.com . Separate integrated server/encoders are
available for companies wanting to provide video content over the
Internet, starting at $3,500 and ranging up to $50,000, depending on
capacity.
VDOnet, meanwhile, launched its VDOLive technology earlier this month.
While Xing asks users to encode content to four different levels
depending on the type of content they want to deliver -- 8.5 kb/s, 24
kb/s, 56 kb/s or 112 kb/s --VDOnet's difference is that it lets content
providers deliver just one video source that can then be scaled
on-the-fly to work over either high-speed or low-speed Net connections,
said Asaf Mohr, VDOnet's president and CEO. "You get what the network
gives you, the best video quality that your connection affords," said
Mohr. "For content providers, this has huge business implications. They
can encode content once" and deliver it over both large and small
network pipes.
VDOnet claims to be able to deliver between 10 to 15 frames per second
over a 28.8 kb/s modem connection using its proprietary video
compression algorithms, based in part on wavelet compression
technology.
VDOnet has a beta version of its player available on its Web site at
http://www.vdolive.com . Although it has not officially announced them
yet, the company also plans to deliver encoders and servers for
delivering compressed video streams, Mohr said.
