[Vnc2swf-users] pyvnc2swf functionality question

[dann s w. <da...@th...>]

I've been using vnc2swf for about 2 years now, fantastic software.  I 
figured I set to giving pyvnc2swf a go.  I'm running Ubuntu Hoary and 
noticed that when I run pyvnc2swf to connect to the vncserver running on 
the same machine no vnc window pops up like it does when using vnc2swf.

I figured there might be an issue with the versions (I was using 0.6.4) 
so I bumped back to 0.6.2 and it did the same thing.  On a lark I fired 
up a vncviewer session to the same server and it was recorded by pyvnc2swf.

Is this how the sofware is supposed to function?  Unlike vnc2swf you 
don't get a window and have to connecting using vcnviewer?

I do not get any errors when running pyvnc2swf.  I've tried both the 
command line and gui.

Actually that's the expected behavior.  pyvnc2swf doesn't provide
a vncviewer-equivalent functionality which the original vnc2swf
has. I assumed many users now will use "Remote desktop" feature
such as WinVNC, x11vnc or GNOME Vino rather than a separate
virtual screen for recording.  But when you prefer to use a
separate screen, I admit this is less convenient, as you would
need to launch a viewer separately to operate.
