We are almost ready to release, the live support seems almost stable, Dario is getting seek working up to a point and I eventually split bufferpool from feng so you'll have to install it in order to build feng Alessandro made libnemesi use the standalone netembryo

The ebuilds had been updated to reflect those changes.

Sadly I hadn't the time to add multicast support since I had been sidetracked by other tasks.

Basically we spent some time recovering the old server (streaming.polito.it will point to this pages really soon) that died just last week. I enabled the new mailing lists and added a feature or two to our roundup so you can play with it using your email address.

Again a belated report, most of the work involved a pretty evasive bug present on the actual live support in feng (the fenice one forwardported more or less), strangely looks like we are missing a lock somewhere and from time to time _something_ segfaults. Since this bug is hard to reproduce we are wasting lots of time and effort basically trying every debugging facility that comes to mind, as result I updated the configure to support mudflap and duma, so far the bug manages to escape the nets.

Today there is a dual head-to-head interview, in which we will having rms and the Polytechnic's regent. The footage will be available soon in the Media Archive

Here is another slightly belated report (or perfectly in time depending on your concept of week).

• We eventually released something and obviously we already fixed some bugs shortly after:
  • udp port pool depletion – basically someone forgot to release the resource…
  • rtcp goodbye missing – considered low priority since few clients handle it at all… Well now vlc does so and libnemesi must.

Feng has been eventually released after more than half year of development! The new streaming server sports various usability and architectural improvement over Fenice, our previous design.

The current release already provides support for advanced codecs like Vorbis or h264, generic container support using libavformat and on the fly stream composition.

The network abstraction library netembryo has been released as well since it is now a feng's dependency.

As you can see http://streaming.polito.it redirects to http://live.polito.it

The website is more or less feature complete, probably I'll update the mailing lists later (anyway nobody is using them) and, no, the forum won't be available anymore, the burden of keeping them clean exceeds the advantages, you can contact us on irc or by the other means that will appear on the contacts page shortly.

The old site is still present, so scream if we forgot something!

We are proud to webcast the IGF meeting at the ITU Tower, you can watch it here

The event will be held in Geneve, tomorrow 23rd May 2007, interactivity through chat rooms will be available at the IGF community site

We are having network issues, offline recordings will be provided as soon as possible

The english audio is the only stream available due the bandwidth constraints

Looks like was quite a fruitful day/week

• Feng
  • Vorbis support working, we spent the whole day debugging it with the help of wtay from fluendo we got vorbis working correctly! Feng streaming and gstreamer acting as client!
  • Theora support is yet to test since the draft is pending the same changes done in vorbis, anyway I made feng act the same way as vorbis nonetheless (in the end I'm the one writing both…)
• Fenice

We'll have our streaming solution used alongside DarwinStreamingServer and WindowsStreamingServer for webcasting some events in the Fiera del libro on the Extracampus stand. Please have a look, the people who wrote, organized and will man the show had worked quite hard for it and you should at least spend some time watching it.

(The footages will appear also in our mediateca
