New Features
Video Server events
Connection start and stop will be shown in the Server Message window
If audio feedback is on, they will also be audible.
IP number is not shows correctly - that will hopefully be fixed in the next release
of the video OCX
Frame rate display in window title
shifted form elements for the camera device in Options a bit to make space
for one more checkbox: 'show frame rate'.
If this is checked, capture and send frame rate will be shown in the window title.
This will allow you to measure influence of your settings (video size, compression, caption and so on) on the max frame rate.
sending frame rate will show the rate for all frames together (possibly multiple clients, camera captures, screen captures, replay)
Optimized display
many form elements won't be update when the window is not visible.
This will save some CPU cycles
New Server Side Includes
includes for frame rates have been defined
<!--#include framerate-capture -->
this will be replaced with the frame rate set for the cam device
<!--#include framerate-stored -->
this will be replaced with the replay frame rate
these includes allow you to write html code which will reflect your server settings.
This feature is in use in the 'Configurable live stream' example
More about this in the help file, Services / Web Server / Server Side Includes
New Parameter for logispherestreaming applet
<param name="fps" value="1">
the fps (frames per second) parameter will be passed to the server.
Using this you can define pages with different frame rates.
This was possible before using the
image parameter
<param name="image" value="current.mjpg?fps1">
but I wanted to clean up things a bit.
This parameter is in use in the 'Configurable live stream' example
More about this in the help file, Java Applets / logispherestreaming
Summary
the new features listed above are just a fraction of the work that went into the
software since the last released version.
I found and resolved issues which only showed up on heavily used servers,
did a lot of housekeeping to prepare the code for the modularizing I intend
to do in future versions.
If you have questions about / problems with this release, add them here.
