Ok the thing is the following: i was shown that realvideo streams can contain "annotations" that during playback send a netscape -remote openURL(xyz) command. A four-line change to vat (file source.cc) can be used to do the same when say the "Name:" or "Note:" field of the sender (transmitted using RTCP) is used to carry the URL to open (or we can add a new SDES field for this purpose, assuming one does not already exist). It's a dirty hack, ok. I think is useful, though, because many times (e.g. during a lecture) what you really need are audio and slides, not really a video of a dancing speaker. So, any objections to having this in our vat port ? cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO . EMAIL: luigi@iet.unipi.it .
