Re: [Java-player-users] requestInterface() restrictions

[Radu B. R. <ru...@cs...>]

Of course, I forgot to mention that you can always just create a new instance of 
PlayerClient to the same port on your robot and request that additional device. A bit of a 
hack but it should work.

So, something along the lines of:
...
PlayerClient robot1 = new PlayerClient ("localhost", 6665);
PtzInterface ptzi1  = robot1.requestInterfacePtz (0, PlayerConstants.PLAYER_OPEN_MODE);
robot1.runThreaded (-1, -1);
...
PlayerClient robot2 = new PlayerClient ("localhost", 6665);
PtzInterface ptzi2  = robot2.requestInterfacePtz (1, PlayerConstants.PLAYER_OPEN_MODE);
robot2.setNotThreaded ();
..
