[Vnc2swf-users] Re: another bug related to cursor encodings

[<lfk...@ya...>]

Yusuke,

I had noticed the problem of not sending the pointer position with UltraVnc.  
I posted a message on their site about this and they've implemented it.
It's available at:
http://doc.uvnc.com/pointerpos/
http://forum.ultravnc.net/viewtopic.php?p=19438#19438

I also couldn't make Ultravnc work properly with pvnc2swf recording "shapes". 
I don't know why but UltraVnc makes my screen  blink just after start recording
so it sends my whole desktop twice as a raw image.  Pvnc2swf just takes too
long to process them.  When I look at the swf file the screen is black for
about 9 seconds. But it works right after that.
If I record as "vnc" and use edit.py afterwards then it's ok.

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] VNC Timestamp to SWF FrameRate

[<lfk...@ya...>]

Hi,

First I would like to tell you that I'm not a developer of vnc2swf.  I'm just a
user trying to help the project.
Do you know anything about Flash or the swf file?
Well, the framerate tells how many changes per second you can have.  Movies for
cinema are recorded at 24 frames/sec.
Most Flash animations are built with 12 frames/sec (or close to it).  Usually
this gives smooth movements.
Unlike movies that have a still image on each frame, flash animations work with
objects on stage.  Think of them as actors.
You only have to tell when to place it on stage, when to move it around and
when to step it out.  No extra information is needed to keep an actor (object)
on stage.
So if you use 10 frames/sec then you can only make 10 changes on a second.
What happens to the changes in between?
The updates between frames are grouped and placed on the next frame.  This
means that if the mouse has moved 5 times between frames than the next frame
will show the mouse only at its last position. It's just as if the screen were
recorded at the framerate.  The only difference is that vnc2swf doesn't take a
screenshot everytime.  It register on the swf only the updates.

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] VNC Timestamp to SWF FrameRate

[<lfk...@ya...>]

Hi,

The RFB protocol used by VNC is based on framebuffer update messages.  These
messages basically contain rectangle areas from the remote screen that have
changed.   
Theses messages are sent uppon request and contain the areas that need to be
updated since the last request.
The SWF file is based on objects on the stage, frames and a framerate.  The
objects are placed on the stage in a frame and stay on stage (showing) until
they are removed in another frame.
Pvnc2swf converts the RFB messages into rectangle objects on the stage in SWF.
The framerate is used to sync the movie with the timestamp of the updates. This
is done by adding the necessary empty frames (without new objects) on the swf
file (time elapsed/framerate).  The objects are placed on the stage in a frame
that represents that elapsed time.
The objects on stage that are completely covered (by other objects) are also
removed during an update.
Hope it helps.

Recording should be fine with the latest version of pyvnc2swf (or vnc2swf).
But browser might have a problem when playing a long movie.
So you can reencode it by using edit.py program to convert and compress
the movie into a long-is-still-safe format:

 $ ./edit.py -cV -o out.swf -a audio.mp3 in.swf

This way I have created 20-minute movie which plays just fine.

[Vnc2swf-users] long swf ..

[Jimmy B. <ji...@dw...>]

Hi!

I have a presentation I want to put online. The presentation is about 20 
slides and each slide will have about 1 minute to 5 minutes of audio per 
slide. So maybe 40 minutes for the complete presentation. Will vnc2swf 
be able to handle a 40 minute presentation? I seem to recall that 
anything over 5 minutes was a little iffy since the movies are held in 
RAM when they are being recorded.

Any guidance/help would be greatly apprciated.

Thanks!

Jimmy

normally, I use Ultravnc on windows. It's a decision I made some time
ago, so I don't know if it still holds; but the reason then, was that
ultravnc seemed to have a much more active development than the other
projects and it has some nice extra features like chat, file transfer,
add-on modules for encryption etc. I also like the video driver they
provide which lightens the load on the cpu especially when moving the
cursor. Back then I was also looking for a vnc server which would be
fast enough to demo a (Direct)3D system remotely and Ultravnc seemed to
do this job just fine.
I'm not sure whether any of my points are actually relevant to the
vn2swf project though ;)

matthias
PS: thanks for the great project! You really made my day by releasing a
python version ;)

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] pyvnc2mpg

[Yusuke S. <yu...@cs...>]

Vincent, 

As I mentioned in the previous message,
I couldn't run your MPEGVideoStream correctly, at least on my machine.
But the patch was applied so that people can test it.

I installed pymedia-1.3.5.0. It generated something playable
with a certain duration so I guess the format is fine.
I tried MPlayer-1.0pre7try2 (Linux, with default codecs) and
QuickTime 6.0 (OSX) but both show a plain black screen.
I'm not really familiar with mpeg encoders.
I would appreciate if you can tell something from this.

Thanks,
Yusuke

[Vnc2swf-users] pyvnc2swf-0.8.0 released!

[Yusuke S. <yu...@cs...>]

Hi,
pyvnc2swf-0.8.0 is out. It includes Luis' pseudo
encoding patch, and various VNC protocol errors are fixed.
Now it should run on any vnc servers and display
a mouse cursor correctly on OSX (with masking).

http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/pyvnc2swf-0.8.0.tar.gz
http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/pyvnc2swf-0.8.0.zip

Although I added Vincent's MPEG patch, I couldn't
make it work on my environment, so I didn't mention
this as a feature enhancement for this version.
But hopefully I will in the next version.

Thanks
Yusuke

[Vnc2swf-users] Any recommendation of vnc server for recording?

[Yusuke S. <yu...@cs...>]

Dear folks,

Does anyone has any preference or recommendation of
vnc servers for recording on Windows?  I think on Unix
Xvnc is just fine, but am interested in the differences
between {Real,Tight,Ultra}Vnc.

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] version 0.7.2 bug and feature suggestions

[Yusuke S. <yu...@cs...>]

Luis,

Thank you for your help. I realized I was wrong about
the protocol handshaking. Now I tried to identify the server's
version first and use the maximum available version.
And I'll also add a stop action in the end.

As for capturing mouse position or clicks directly, I don't know
how to do it, I wish I could though.  I have received another
feature request for capturing key strokes, but I'm afraid there's
no way to do these things in a platform independent way.  Because
I like the cross-platform portability so much (which is one of the
reasons why I switch to Python), I'd like to defer implementing
these features some time later.

Yusuke

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] pyvnc2mpg

[Yusuke S. <yu...@cs...>]

Hi, Vincent,
Thank you for your patch!

I'll incorporate your changes into the next version.
I think your coding style is okay. One thing I'd like to
change is to make "import pymedia.video.vcodec" as optional,
so that a user can still run the program without installing
pymedia.

Also, we have cvs (although currently I'm only the person who're
committing to it.)

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] Problem with OSX 10.4

[Yusuke S. <yu...@cs...>]

Carlo,
Sorry I didn't respond so long time.
And thanks to Rajesh for the followup.

I still don't get why it caused errors, because it is simply
comparing two tuples. It somewhat looks like Python or Pygame's bug,
but anyway I will remove the assert statement in future releases.
Thank you for reporting.

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] Problem with OSX 10.4

Just to close this thread.
To solve this problem just commented line 44 in image.py which is the
assert() stmt.
Thanks to Rajesh Menon,

[Vnc2swf-users] version 0.7.2 bug and feature suggestions

[<lfk...@ya...>]

Still needs to fix the protocol version handshake:
I posted a message previously about it but here it goes again.
First the client should read the maximum protocol version the server is able to
understand.  And then the client should send the protocol version it wants to
use.
The problem occurs with UltraVnc because the server sends version 3.6.  The
client should send version 3.3 and assume that the handshaked version is 3.3. 
But pvnc2swf is assuming 3.6 and it's not working!

A few suggestions:
- add a "Stop" action tag at the last frame
my suggestion is to change the "close" method in "class 
SWFOutputStream" as follows:

#################################  
  def close(self):
    #stop
    self.writer.start_action()
    self.writer.do_action(7)
    self.writer.end_action()
    #show frame
    self.writer.start_tag()
    self.writer.end_tag(1)
    MovieOutputStream.next_frame(self)
    MovieOutputStream.close(self)
    if self.writer:
      self.writer.start_tag()
      self.writer.end_tag(0)
      self.writer.write_file(self.output_frames)
      self.writer = None
    self.info.generate_html()
    return
######################################

- add a navigation bar with play, pause, rewind buttons and a slider to move
quickly forward and backwards and show the elapsed time since the begining.

- track the cursor separately

- animate the cursor clicks

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] Cursor pseudo-encoding

[<lfk...@ya...>]

Hi,

I was thinking a little more about the mouse movement feature.
I'm currently using TightVnc. It has a pseudo-encoding for sending the server
cursor position so it works great.  Unfortunately UltraVnc and many others
don't have it.  They just send the cursor image to the client so it can be
changed to match the server cursor but they never send the server cursor
position.  I guess they presume that the client will move the mouse and not the
other way around.
I sent a feature request to UltraVnc to include the same pseudo-encoding that
the TightVnc has.
Thinking about it I realized that pyvnc2swf doesn't show the server screen.  I 
believe that most people just connect to the localhost.
If this is the case why not just capture the mouse position from the screen
directly using python?  Could even catch mouse clicks and animate them in the
swf file. These could be just a feature enabled through a command line arg.

[Rajesh M. <men...@gm...>]

Hi,
I was coming across the same problem as Carlo.
I just commented line 44 in image.py which is the assert() stmt. It  
works quite fine.
Hope that helps.


p.s: I've done a poor job of copying Carlo's and Yusuke's mails below  
just for reference.


From: Carlo Gandolfi <gand@sk...>

  I get this:

  $ /Applications/pyvnc2swf-0.7.0/vnc2swf.py
  Using pygame 1.7.0
  /Applications/pyvnc2swf-0.7.0/image.py:44: RuntimeWarning: tp_compare
  didn't return -1 or -2 for exception
    assert (1,6) <= pygame.vernum, 'we need pygame 1.6 or newer.'
  Either Pygame or Python Imaging Library is required.

  I've installed from pytonmac.org:
  pygame-1.7.0-py2.3-macosx10.3.zip
  PIL-1.1.5-py2.3-macosx10.3.zip

  although I've OSX 10.4.3.
  Pytonmac lilst only pygame for OSX 10.3, not for 10.4 :(
  After that I've installed packages, I symlink both from
  /Library/Python/2.3/ to
  /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Extras/lib/ 
python.

[Vnc2swf-users] RE: pyvnc2swf-0.7.2 released!

[Karnowski, D. <dka...@et...>]

I can confirm the "illegal encoding" error is now fixed for me with
this 0.7.2 release (well at least I haven't experienced the error
yet where normally I would have by now). Thanks Yusuke!

Folks,

I released pyvnc2swf-0.7.2.
http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/pyvnc2swf-0.7.2.tar.gz

This version has a fix for the "illegal encoding" error (hopefully!),
and a couple of other features. Thanks for those who made suggestions.

New features include:
 * More efficient recording when a "clipping" option is used.
 * "recordwin.sh" script is brought from the original (C version) =
vnc2swf.

The cursor feature that Luis has pointed out will be put in the
next (major?) version, probably 0.8.0.

Thanks,
Yusuke
