How to show multiple kinect server output in single client computer about kv2streamer HOT 2 OPEN

Hi Kiruba,

You are right, we designed kv2streamer to connect multiple clients from one server. Connecting multiple server might be possible, but I think it will need some, if not a lot, modification on both the client and the server side. Currently, since it's assumed that there will be one server, a predefined port number is used for each of the channel, which you can see in kv2streamer-lib/kv2client/SharedConfig.h.

I've never tried this, but I think if you try running two servers at the same time and connect it to a single client computer but with two kv2client instances using different multicast IP addresses, it will still confuse the the kv2client and all the data received might be messed up because they're both sharing the same port.

One possible to solve this is if you add a way to change the default port number, for both the server and client (this will require you to modify the source code of course), and instantiate it like this:

[Client 1 on Machine A*] <----IP1, Port Numbers 1--- [Server 1 on Machine B, Kinect B]
[Client 2 on Machine A*] <----IP2, Port Numbers 2--- [Server 2 on Machine C, Kinect C]
*Note that both client instances are on the same machine, possibly even the same program.

However, this is just a wild guess from my part, and I'm not sure if the solution proposed above would work. Again, we didn't design it to work this way, so we didn't put much effort at supporting the scenario above, which means there might be complications on the gstreamer part of the code, or even more.

If you do try this out though, please let me know the result, or possibly even submit a pull request :)

Thanks Kevin,
Yes now i understand its difficulty.Once i completed the analysis of multiserver-single client, i will tell you my result.
