OpenMash Tools

Installation

To install the OpenMash tools:

1) Download OpenMash for your platform from:

OpenMash Download Page

2) Unpack and run the setup program (Running the setup is optional)

Test tools

To test the tools:

1) Run nsdr to see if you get a list of multicast broadcast announcements. If you don't see anything in 1 minute or so, your machine is probably not getting multicast traffic. If you don't get this to work, you can still use the tools in a unicast environment or receive streams from a tunneling software.

2) Run vic on the AccessGrid Lobby:

vic 224.2.177.155/55524

There should be some videos there. I'll try to leave my camera on. If your machine doesn't have a video capture card (on a laptop, for example), there is a test capture device that lets you transmit blue_passion or from a file. Just click on the settings button to find out.
