FW: Editing OpenMeetings language files

Hi,

What is the correct process for adding a new item to the Language files
?

I have been informed that "If you add a new label we have a common
(undocumentated) rule: We add this label to all language files. You can
fill up other language files the english one. However all language files
should contain the same number of labels and not only a subset."

What is it that I should add to all the other language files?  The same
English item, and then hope those with knowledge of the other languages
modify for the languages that they are proficient in?  Is there a way to
ask others to check and update any languages that they are proficient
in?  Maybe there are other practices that I would be good for me to
follow, if so, please let me know.

I noticed that the Japanese file has 
  <string id="262" name="salutation_miss">
    <value>Ms.</value>
  </string>


Thanks,

George Kirkham

Stephen,

 

I don’t have any wildcard certs and we only have one cert for another secure subdomain, and like you guessed, I was going to create my own cert, and then it OpenMeetings becomes popular with our staff, I would then (like) to purchase a wild card cert as that would be very handy for other subdomains I have in mind.

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

George,

 

Do you currently have any SSL certs to do this? Are they wild card certs? (*.domain.com ?)

 

Or are you going to get new ones for this service?

 

Cheers

Hey George,

 

HTTPS is working fine apart from the screen record function, this is currently with the devs to isolate the problem so hopefully they will have a solution for that soon.

 

IMO if OM is to be used in Production and public facing it should be encrypted – especially if LDAP authentication is being used.

 

I can help you with the setup of this if you want, assuming you have some SSL certs for your domain?

 

Best Regards

Stephen,

 

I just did a test with nobody, and there are no entries in any of the logs.  If you meant some other kind of logging, then I am not aware how to enable this.

 

I tried using a different (standard) User ID, but this did not allow OpenMeetings to run either.

 

Something to follow up on later.

 

Can you tell me how you manage to get port 443 working?  I would like to try that instead of port 80. I had understood (hopefully mistakenly) that there were issues running OpenMeeting under port 443 ?

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

I've not tried port 80 tbh but I do run fine on https (443) with no issues.

	I believe the issue is related with OpenMeetings code somewhere, as the Red5 server is running and accepting connections (root), just when you try to run OpenMeetings itself, that fails.

	 

	If I get success at any time, I will post back, but first I wanted to learn if anyone was familiar with the issue, and it looks like everyone else has their OpenMeetings servers either using port 5080 or are successfully running under ‘nobody’.

	Hi,

	 

	Has anyone had success/issues with using port 80 instead of port 5080.

	 

	I have a number of  Debian OpenMeetings servers. The first that I built I have configured using port 80 instead of port 5080, and all works well.

	 

	Since that time I have built a few more Debian OpenMeetings servers and I cannot get any of them to work with port 80.  I really do not think the issue is with OpenMeetings or its configuration, because I can copy the entire “red5” folder from the new servers to the first (working) server and it will work on port 80.

	 

	I am hoping that someone may have had similar issues and knows how to resolved it.

	What is it that I should add to all the other language files?

Hey George,

 

HTTPS is working fine apart from the screen record function, this is currently with the devs to isolate the problem so hopefully they will have a solution for that soon.

 

IMO if OM is to be used in Production and public facing it should be encrypted – especially if LDAP authentication is being used.

 

I can help you with the setup of this if you want, assuming you have some SSL certs for your domain?

 

Best Regards

Stephen,

 

I just did a test with nobody, and there are no entries in any of the logs.  If you meant some other kind of logging, then I am not aware how to enable this.

 

I tried using a different (standard) User ID, but this did not allow OpenMeetings to run either.

 

Something to follow up on later.

 

Can you tell me how you manage to get port 443 working?  I would like to try that instead of port 80. I had understood (hopefully mistakenly) that there were issues running OpenMeeting under port 443 ?

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

	The server is only for OpenMeetings, so no Apache running (or installed), and nothing else on that port.

	 

	I did find the difference, in my first server I was running openMeetings as the root user, but with subsequent servers I had been using nobody.   Running OpenMeetings under nobody works well for port 5080, but not for port 80, and I cannot understand why that might be.

	 

	One thing I could try is to create a full account called “openmeetings” which has a home directory and then try running OpenMeetings under this account.  Sometimes software requires an account with a home directory, not just a dummy account.

	 

	I believe the issue is related with OpenMeetings code somewhere, as the Red5 server is running and accepting connections (root), just when you try to run OpenMeetings itself, that fails.

	 

	If I get success at any time, I will post back, but first I wanted to learn if anyone was familiar with the issue, and it looks like everyone else has their OpenMeetings servers either using port 5080 or are successfully running under ‘nobody’.

	Hi,

	 

	Has anyone had success/issues with using port 80 instead of port 5080.

	 

	I have a number of  Debian OpenMeetings servers. The first that I built I have configured using port 80 instead of port 5080, and all works well.

	 

	Since that time I have built a few more Debian OpenMeetings servers and I cannot get any of them to work with port 80.  I really do not think the issue is with OpenMeetings or its configuration, because I can copy the entire “red5” folder from the new servers to the first (working) server and it will work on port 80.

	 

	I am hoping that someone may have had similar issues and knows how to resolved it.

	Hi George,
	
	What is it that I should add to all the other language files?

RE: 80

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Stephen,

 

I just did a test with nobody, and there are no entries in any of the logs.  If you meant some other kind of logging, then I am not aware how to enable this.

 

I tried using a different (standard) User ID, but this did not allow OpenMeetings to run either.

 

Something to follow up on later.

 

Can you tell me how you manage to get port 443 working?  I would like to try that instead of port 80. I had understood (hopefully mistakenly) that there were issues running OpenMeeting under port 443 ?

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

	The server is only for OpenMeetings, so no Apache running (or installed), and nothing else on that port.

	 

	I did find the difference, in my first server I was running openMeetings as the root user, but with subsequent servers I had been using nobody.   Running OpenMeetings under nobody works well for port 5080, but not for port 80, and I cannot understand why that might be.

	 

	One thing I could try is to create a full account called “openmeetings” which has a home directory and then try running OpenMeetings under this account.  Sometimes software requires an account with a home directory, not just a dummy account.

	 

	I believe the issue is related with OpenMeetings code somewhere, as the Red5 server is running and accepting connections (root), just when you try to run OpenMeetings itself, that fails.

	 

	If I get success at any time, I will post back, but first I wanted to learn if anyone was familiar with the issue, and it looks like everyone else has their OpenMeetings servers either using port 5080 or are successfully running under ‘nobody’.

	Hi,

	 

	Has anyone had success/issues with using port 80 instead of port 5080.

	 

	I have a number of  Debian OpenMeetings servers. The first that I built I have configured using port 80 instead of port 5080, and all works well.

	 

	Since that time I have built a few more Debian OpenMeetings servers and I cannot get any of them to work with port 80.  I really do not think the issue is with OpenMeetings or its configuration, because I can copy the entire “red5” folder from the new servers to the first (working) server and it will work on port 80.

	 

	I am hoping that someone may have had similar issues and knows how to resolved it.

	Hi George,
	
	What is it that I should add to all the other language files?

	Maybe there are other practices that I would be good for me to follow, if so, please let me know.

RE: Allowing Users to adjust the magnification of the Whiteboard

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Hi,

 

And thinking about this further, there may be two ways to solve the issue of everyone seeing a zoomed in view of a word document;

1)      By default Meeting Participants should be able to set zoom but not scroll.

2)      When the Moderator can run off "Full-Fit" and then set a zoom, it does this to everyone's Whiteboard, just as when the Moderator scrolls it scrolls everyone's screen.  And the Moderator to controls everyone's screens as they can now?

 

It has occurred to me that if meeting attendees are given access to the zoom by default, then they should not have access to the scroll bars. Only allow the Moderator to control the scrolling.

 

Because Meeting participants computer's can have different screen resolutions, there is no perfect solution, but I am now liking solution 2 over solution 1, but either would work.  Please think about this and post back with comments.

 

I am currently in a meeting with 5 people sharing a Word document, and we all needed to zoom the document and the moderator moves us to the right page and scrolls to the right place in the page, but some meeting participants cannot stop themselves in altering the scroll.

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

Hi,

I think, that individual changing of the zoom as the default, without permission, is the key feature which we are missing. It was the very first thing which we was asked by our customers to patch (but we don't have the patch so far). 

The next (imo useful) feature, which I've seen at presentation of MS Lync, was the ability to each participiant scroll through his whiteboard and after clicking on the "sync" button, the whiteboard is scrolled to the presenter's place. But the "sync" button is available only when the participiant do his own scrolling. In other cases, his whiteboard is synced with the presenter immediately.

Thanks

Hi,

 

How much work is involved in allowing meeting participants access to adjust the magnification (zoom) of the Whiteboard without having to have the rights to draw on the Whiteboard ?

 

When working with portrait documents, like Word documents, it is important to zoom into the document and then scroll down the document while people in the meeting discuss the various paragraphs (as a Word page contains more text that can be displayed to the screen/whiteboard and still be readable in "Full-Fit").

 

I like it when we get all the meeting participants to zoom the document so that the document text is a good readable size, and then the presenter can scroll the document, and it scrolls on everyone's screens so they all follow where the discussion is up to. 

 

But currently to do this we have to;

1)       give them "Draw on the Whiteboard" rights, and 

2)      ask them to zoom their screens and 

3)      then remove "Draw on the Whiteboard" rights (so they don't accidently change pages, or draw on the screen when we don't want them to)

 

Could meeting participants either a) have access to the Full-Fit and zoom as standard, or b) can this be controlled separately by itself, and not bundled with Draw on the Whiteboard rights.

 

I would ask other people to comment whether this would be useful for them also ?  or maybe there are good reasons not to change this functionality?

Subject: exclusive audio in Build #68

 

Hi, I am testing the functionality in build #68

 

These I believe are issues, please check and comment.

 

Test scenario, one moderator, two other participants (one with Audio & Video and one with Audio only) then join the meeting. A forth participant joins the meeting 

 

1)      When the moderator hovers over the red disable icon of the "Allow/Deny right to give exclusive audio" column for either of the two other participants, the text that hovers is "Allow user to give exclusive audio", but after they have been granted rights to give exclusive audio, if you hover over the green circled tick, then the text says "User is Moderator, he can do anything.", where as it would be more correct if the hover text said "Remove ability to give exclusive audio", like the "Remove ability to draw on the whiteboard".  The "Allow/Deny right to Remote Control Screen" ticks also has the same issue (they display "User is Moderator, he can do anything.").   In fact in this scenario the statement "User is Moderator, he can do anything." is incorrect as this user is not a moderator.

2)      I would have expected that giving users the "Allow user to give exclusive audio" would allow users to control the who currently has exclusive audio (i.e. whose mic is not muted), but the users cannot control the use of "exclusive audio" (unless they are made moderators).

3)      It seems the only way to give exclusive audio is by clicking the centre of  that persons video window, but if a person is set to "Audio only", then they don't have a video window so there is no way to grant them "exclusive audio".  Would it not be better to have a way to control exclusive audio from the "Users" list?  Why not use the round green (user speaks) icon.  (see point 5 where it was found that the fourth user to the meeting did get a third, video like window where they could control the "exclusive audio" for the person who was set to "audio only".  But these windows did not appear for the moderator or the other two who were the first to join.

4)      In the "Users" list there is a round green icon like the green icon that appears in the Video window, but unlike the video window, it does not change to solid green when the user is speaking, I believe it is supposed to?  If it is not, then what does it do?  The hover text says "User speaks".

5)      when a fourth user joined the meeting (with no audio/video), they had two video windows (moderator and the one user who was sending video) and one other window like a video window but without any picture as the name label of that window indicated that it was the other user who was sending audio only.  This fourth user, when made a moderator could control who had "exclusive audio", but only when a moderator. The other three users still had no way to give the "audio only" user,  "exclusive audio".

6)      I did a few audio tests to see how much echo was an issue, and I am amazed, I had no echo.  I will try to test this again,  another day.  Thanks to those who have been working on OpenMeetings.

Dušan, both of these features sound worthwhile.

Hi,

I think, that individual changing of the zoom as the default, without permission, is the key feature which we are missing. It was the very first thing which we was asked by our customers to patch (but we don't have the patch so far). 

The next (imo useful) feature, which I've seen at presentation of MS Lync, was the ability to each participiant scroll through his whiteboard and after clicking on the "sync" button, the whiteboard is scrolled to the presenter's place. But the "sync" button is available only when the participiant do his own scrolling. In other cases, his whiteboard is synced with the presenter immediately.

Thanks

When working with portrait documents, like Word documents, it is important to zoom into the document and then scroll down the document while people in the meeting discuss the various paragraphs (as a Word page contains more text that can be displayed to the screen/whiteboard and still be readable in "Full-Fit").

 

I like it when we get all the meeting participants to zoom the document so that the document text is a good readable size, and then the presenter can scroll the document, and it scrolls on everyone's screens so they all follow where the discussion is up to. 

 

But currently to do this we have to;

1)       give them "Draw on the Whiteboard" rights, and 

2)      ask them to zoom their screens and 

3)      then remove "Draw on the Whiteboard" rights (so they don't accidently change pages, or draw on the screen when we don't want them to)

 

Could meeting participants either a) have access to the Full-Fit and zoom as standard, or b) can this be controlled separately by itself, and not bundled with Draw on the Whiteboard rights.

 

I would ask other people to comment whether this would be useful for them also ?  or maybe there are good reasons not to change this functionality?

Allowing Users to adjust the magnification of the Whiteboard

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Hi,

 

How much work is involved in allowing meeting participants access to
adjust the magnification (zoom) of the Whiteboard without having to have
the rights to draw on the Whiteboard ?

 

When working with portrait documents, like Word documents, it is
important to zoom into the document and then scroll down the document
while people in the meeting discuss the various paragraphs (as a Word
page contains more text that can be displayed to the screen/whiteboard
and still be readable in "Full-Fit").

 

I like it when we get all the meeting participants to zoom the document
so that the document text is a good readable size, and then the
presenter can scroll the document, and it scrolls on everyone's screens
so they all follow where the discussion is up to. 

 

But currently to do this we have to;

1)       give them "Draw on the Whiteboard" rights, and 

2)      ask them to zoom their screens and 

3)      then remove "Draw on the Whiteboard" rights (so they don't
accidently change pages, or draw on the screen when we don't want them
to)

 

Could meeting participants either a) have access to the Full-Fit and
zoom as standard, or b) can this be controlled separately by itself, and
not bundled with Draw on the Whiteboard rights.

 

I would ask other people to comment whether this would be useful for
them also ?  or maybe there are good reasons not to change this
functionality?

Re: exclusive audio in Build #68

Posted by Stephen Cottham <St...@robertbird.com.au>.
Glad to help out where I can guys, it's important to give back to the open source community to benefit everyone, hats off to the devs on this project.

The “Allow/Deny right to Remote Control Screen” ticks also has the same issue (they display “User is Moderator, he can do anything.”).   In fact in this scenario the statement “User is Moderator, he can do anything.” is incorrect as this user is not a moderator.

Would it not be better to have a way to control exclusive audio from the “Users” list?  Why not use the round green (user speaks) icon.  (see point 5 where it was found that the fourth user to the meeting did get a third, video like window where they could control the “exclusive audio” for the person who was set to “audio only”.  But these windows did not appear for the moderator or the other two who were the first to join.

> 4)      In the “Users” list there is a round green icon like the green icon that appears in the Video window, but unlike the video window, it does not change to solid green when the user is speaking, I believe it is supposed to?  If it is not, then what does it do?  The hover text says “User speaks”.
> 
> 
> 5)      when a fourth user joined the meeting (with no audio/video), they had two video windows (moderator and the one user who was sending video) and one other window like a video window but without any picture as the name label of that window indicated that it was the other user who was sending audio only.  This fourth user, when made a moderator could control who had “exclusive audio”, but only when a moderator. The other three users still had no way to give the “audio only” user,  “exclusive audio”.

To remove single objects you can use the blank arrow select single objects

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Sebastian,

 

You said "To remove single objects you can use the blank arrow select
single objects", and my testing shows that this works perfectly.

 

One day I was demonstrating OpenMeetings and was not able to remove one
of the objects that I had put on the screen using this method.

 

What happened was that when I went to select the "arrow object" that I
wanted to remove, I had missed and selected the SlideShow itself.  Once
the SlideShow was selected, I was not able to select another object
until I had deselected the SlideShow (not realising this, I had thought
that the "Select Object" feature was not working, but it was just my
mistake because I had not realised the SlideShow was an object itself.

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

Hi George,

To remove single objects you can use the blank arrow select single
objects and then either use the delete key or click on the red square in
the virtual selection box.

For the undo I guess you're right, there seems to be an issue.
Thanks for checking a stable scenario, I will try to reproduce it and
fix the problem.

2012/5/11 George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>

Hi,

 

Please let me know if you can simulate this bug (I believe it has been
around since version 1.9)

 

Possible Fix: Instead of using a stack approach to undoing objects, why
not have a "remove/delete object tool", and when you point to an object
(other than any loaded document), the object is removed?  I have often
wanted to remove particular objects and not remove them in sequence.

 

Issue: Whiteboard objects are not removed (undone) in correct sequence
they are placed on the screen by multiple people.

 

Repeatable test: 

Step 1, Person A joins a Conference room and becomes the moderator of
the meeting.

Step 2, Person B joins a Conference room.

Step 3, Person A grants Person B "Draw on the Whiteboard" rights.

Step 4, Person A loads a file (slideshow, PDF) to the whiteboard   [NB:
this step is optional, but likely in real scenario]

Step 5, Person A draws one or more objects on the screen (for example
draws an ellipse around a word in the current slide) 

Step 6, Person B draws one or more objects on the screen (for example
draws an ellipse around a different word in the current slide) 

Step 7, Person A draws another draws an object on the screen (for
example an arrow)

Step 8, Person B draws another object on the screen (for example an
arrow) 

Step 9, Now if either Person A or Person B attempts to undo each object
that has been drawn to the screen, objects are not removed correctly.  I
am having difficulties in following exactly what is a happening, but I
think that on the screen of the person who is undoing the objects, the
object/s that were placed on the screen first before the other person
placed their object/s, cannot be undone but will then "float" or appear
on their view of the Whiteboard all the time, even the slides are
advanced.   Often the person who is undoing the objects, sees the any
remaining objects will keep clicking the Undo, which then remove the
loaded document from the other person's screen (but not their own).

Note: I believe that the object/s that remain on the screen after the
person has pressed the Undo button and cannot remove the object/s, only
display on the screen of the person who is doing the "Undoing".  The
other person's screen is cleared.

 

Can anyone better identify and explain what is actually happening. It
looks like OpenMeetings has an object stack for the first person to
place an object on the screen and when someone else places an object on
the Whiteboard, a global object stack is created, but the contents of
the first user's stack is not copied to the global stack, so when the
person attempts to "undo" each object from the global stack, the first
object/s on their own stack remain. 

 

While very annoying, this bug does not stop people from using
OpenMeetings, so I have delayed reporting it until now.  

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

There is a demo video here:
http://moodle.openmeetings.de/

I think the demo server itself does not work as the plugin is not yet
upgraded.

Thanks so much Sebastian. I am aware of Moodle but haven't investigated it

Hi Dan,

do you know Moodle? We maintain a module in our repository to integrate
Openmeetings into Moodle:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/openmeetings/trunk/plugins/moodle_plugin/
The plugin should work with moodle 2.0.

There are also plugins for ATutor and Sakai Open Source.
The ATutor plugin is currently updated to work with OpenMeetings 2.0.

Maybe those platforms help you to realize your idea.

Hi George:

I am very happy to participate in such an effort. I think it is a great
idea. I may need some help with finding log files for instance, if that is
needed when I report back on an issue. But I agree that if we pool our
efforts we can make this works as well as possible.

By the way, I am also interested in creating a web site that includes a
database system and a user interface that works with OM. Users would log
into this website, create an account, and do a number of other functions.
This website will be tailored to the needs of professional tutors and other
professionals and consultants who need not only the meeting functions
included in OM, but a number of other features.

Ideally it would tie in with OM seamlessly. If anyone has any suggestions
about this idea please let me know. And if anyone knows of a developer
particularly suited to this task I would appreciate you forwarding their
contact info to me.

Best.

RE: Request for improvement

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
OpenMeetings 2.0 build xx is to my knowledge the code being updated. So
to answer your question, "yes, 2.0".

 

How often do you update your OpenMeetings server, and would you have
both a prod and a test server?  Can be handy to do so. 

 

Thanks,

Dan, Sergey, Stephen, (and to myself),

 

Do you have an environment where you can test the stability/reliability
of OpenMeetings.  For example where several or more people can use
OpenMeetings and report on any issues, and the try to repeat the same
issue on another day.

 

A clear, methodical approach to observing, and then identifying how to
repeat issues really help developers.  It is even better if you can
match the issue with entries in the log files.

 

While my OpenMeetings installation has been very good most of the time,
there are instances where some of my "test" users in conference rooms
have become unstable, but so far I have not had the time to be able to
repeat the issue frequently enough to identify why (or to match the
problem occurrences with an entries in the red5/log/*.log).  These
issues have not been too serious, closing the browser and logging back
in to the room fixes most, on a few occasions I have had to reboot my
PC.  I have also observed more issues when the PC is wirelessly connect
(wireless LAN), which could be related to my Wireless router.

 

My hope is that if there is enough of us "users of OpenMeetings", we can
identify issues, check with each other to see if the others can also
create the same issue, thus confirm the problem is not just with our own
environment, and be able to report an issue in a way that the developers
can more easily identify and fix. I am sure that they have limited time
to which the can contribute to OpenMeetings so if we can identify
repeatable issues and rule out any personal environmental problems, it
should help in reducing the reporting of problems which are not due to
OpenMeetings itself.

 

So my request for Dan, Sergey, Stephen and others is, "when I report an
issue or a suggestion, please, when you have time, check my statements
in your own OpenMeetings environements and see if what I say is correct
or a worthwhile suggestion and then report back.  Especially if I make a
suggestion for an improvement for something that I would like but it
does not make sense to you, or even better, you see an even more
effective way the improvement can be implemented (e.g. let's do some
brain storming).  Sometimes the most simplest of ideas are the greatest.
For example, "one tool that OpenMeetings whiteboad does not currently

Moodle intergration

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Thanks Daniel, I appreciate your comment, and that you are reading the
posting people make and are responding, I hope that other may think
about this and make comment.

 

I am also interested in Moodle, so I am very interested in anything you
end up doing, and how to set it all up.  Just I am very busy right now
working with OpenMeetings itself, I am not quite ready to add another
application to my work load.  There was a change that people in my
organisation may use it, but nothing has happened yet.  I did hear from
a friend studying in a local university that the really don't like
Moodle or understand how it can be helpful, but then they did explain
that it was not managed very well, the lectures who use it have no
common standard and so every lecturer's pages are inconsistent with each
other and what content is available varies between lecturer, leaving the
students very consfused.  I am hoping that the implementation where you
are is much better.  Maybe one day we could use OpenMeetings and you
could show me how your University is making use of Moodle?

 

 

 

Thanks,

I think making the default completely transparent makes sense. Then
users can change from there as needed.

Storing these settings in a cookie would be a nice touch but if it means
extra work,  let's make it as easy as possible.  

 

One issue for using cookies is that if you use different PCs then you
have to remember to make the setting again. The Cookie would certainly
help with people who like to use a favourite colour.

 

For me, simply having the default for fill to be turned off would be
great as I don't use the fill at all. If you were going to use fill,
turning it on and selecting the colour you want should not be that much
of an issue?

 

Just to ask, do you use the fill colour much?  If people do, then having
the cookies would be a great bonus.  I guess I never actually create
images on the white board, just draw on an uploaded slides or documents.

Hi George,

I would propose to store settings like: Default fill color, default line
color, default transparency and default line size in the user profile or
cookie data. That way the default settings are just like the ones you
have choosen the last time.

Hi,

 

I would like to know your views on having the Square and Ellipse tools
default to "no fill colour".

 

I find that myself and others want to circle words or images in
presentations, and keep forgetting to turn off the fill colour.  Since I
have never bothered to use the fill colour, my suggestion is to have the
fill colour turned off by default, and then people have to enable and
select a colour, to have the Square or Ellipse filled with a colour.

 

If it is found that there are those who want the fill colour enabled by
default and another group who want it disabled by default, then could
the default be a configuration option, e.g. FillDefault 0 = a default is
no fill colour, 1 = the default is to have a fill colour.

 

Thanks,

RE: Request for improvement - Square and Ellipse default to no fill colour

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Sebastian,

 

Storing these settings in a cookie would be a nice touch but if it means
extra work,  let's make it as easy as possible.  

 

One issue for using cookies is that if you use different PCs then you
have to remember to make the setting again. The Cookie would certainly
help with people who like to use a favourite colour.

 

For me, simply having the default for fill to be turned off would be
great as I don't use the fill at all. If you were going to use fill,
turning it on and selecting the colour you want should not be that much
of an issue?

 

Just to ask, do you use the fill colour much?  If people do, then having
the cookies would be a great bonus.  I guess I never actually create
images on the white board, just draw on an uploaded slides or documents.


 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

Hi George,

I would propose to store settings like: Default fill color, default line
color, default transparency and default line size in the user profile or
cookie data. That way the default settings are just like the ones you
have choosen the last time.

Hi,

 

I would like to know your views on having the Square and Ellipse tools
default to "no fill colour".

 

I find that myself and others want to circle words or images in
presentations, and keep forgetting to turn off the fill colour.  Since I
have never bothered to use the fill colour, my suggestion is to have the
fill colour turned off by default, and then people have to enable and
select a colour, to have the Square or Ellipse filled with a colour.

 

If it is found that there are those who want the fill colour enabled by
default and another group who want it disabled by default, then could
the default be a configuration option, e.g. FillDefault 0 = a default is
no fill colour, 1 = the default is to have a fill colour.

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

Dan, Sergey, Stephen, (and to myself),

 

Do you have an environment where you can test the stability/reliability
of OpenMeetings.  For example where several or more people can use
OpenMeetings and report on any issues, and the try to repeat the same
issue on another day.

 

A clear, methodical approach to observing, and then identifying how to
repeat issues really help developers.  It is even better if you can
match the issue with entries in the log files.

 

While my OpenMeetings installation has been very good most of the time,
there are instances where some of my "test" users in conference rooms
have become unstable, but so far I have not had the time to be able to
repeat the issue frequently enough to identify why (or to match the
problem occurrences with an entries in the red5/log/*.log).  These
issues have not been too serious, closing the browser and logging back
in to the room fixes most, on a few occasions I have had to reboot my
PC.  I have also observed more issues when the PC is wirelessly connect
(wireless LAN), which could be related to my Wireless router.

 

My hope is that if there is enough of us "users of OpenMeetings", we can
identify issues, check with each other to see if the others can also
create the same issue, thus confirm the problem is not just with our own
environment, and be able to report an issue in a way that the developers
can more easily identify and fix. I am sure that they have limited time
to which the can contribute to OpenMeetings so if we can identify
repeatable issues and rule out any personal environmental problems, it
should help in reducing the reporting of problems which are not due to
OpenMeetings itself.

 

So my request for Dan, Sergey, Stephen and others is, "when I report an
issue or a suggestion, please, when you have time, check my statements
in your own OpenMeetings environements and see if what I say is correct
or a worthwhile suggestion and then report back.  Especially if I make a
suggestion for an improvement for something that I would like but it
does not make sense to you, or even better, you see an even more
effective way the improvement can be implemented (e.g. let's do some
brain storming).  Sometimes the most simplest of ideas are the greatest.
For example, "one tool that OpenMeetings whiteboad does not currently
have is a highlighter, like the highlighter pens". 

 

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

Request for improvement - Square and Ellipse default to no fill colour

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Hi,

 

I would like to know your views on having the Square and Ellipse tools
default to "no fill colour".

 

I find that myself and others want to circle words or images in
presentations, and keep forgetting to turn off the fill colour.  Since I
have never bothered to use the fill colour, my suggestion is to have the
fill colour turned off by default, and then people have to enable and
select a colour, to have the Square or Ellipse filled with a colour.

 

If it is found that there are those who want the fill colour enabled by
default and another group who want it disabled by default, then could
the default be a configuration option, e.g. FillDefault 0 = a default is
no fill colour, 1 = the default is to have a fill colour.

 

Thanks,

create the same issue, thus confirm the problem is not just with our own
environment, and be able to report an issue in a way that the developers
can more easily identify and fix. I am sure that they have limited time
to which the can contribute to OpenMeetings so if we can identify
repeatable issues and rule out any personal environmental problems, it
should help in reducing the reporting of problems which are not due to
OpenMeetings itself.

 

So my request for Dan, Sergey, Stephen and others is, "when I report an
issue or a suggestion, please, when you have time, check my statements
in your own OpenMeetings environements and see if what I say is correct
or a worthwhile suggestion and then report back.  Especially if I make a
suggestion for an improvement for something that I would like but it
does not make sense to you, or even better, you see an even more
effective way the improvement can be implemented (e.g. let's do some
brain storming).  Sometimes the most simplest of ideas are the greatest.
For example, "one tool that OpenMeetings whiteboad does not currently
have is a highlighter, like the highlighter pens". 

 

 

Thanks,

Is this only in OM 2.0, because I don't see this in the prior version?

Request for improvement

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Sebastian,

 

I have noticed that when a person joins a room, any video windows from
other users who are already in the room load up over the top of their
"Choose Devices" Window.  This makes it difficult for them to select
settings (until they move all of the video Windows out of the way).  It
would be much better if the "Choose Devices" Window could be the top
most (i.e. above/on top the Video Windows).

 

Users who are not intimately familiar with OpenMeetings get confused
because they don't see the "Choose Devices" dialog.

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

Dan, Sergey, Stephen, (and to myself),

 

Do you have an environment where you can test the stability/reliability
of OpenMeetings.  For example where several or more people can use
OpenMeetings and report on any issues, and the try to repeat the same
issue on another day.

 

A clear, methodical approach to observing, and then identifying how to
repeat issues really help developers.  It is even better if you can
match the issue with entries in the log files.

 

While my OpenMeetings installation has been very good most of the time,
there are instances where some of my "test" users in conference rooms
have become unstable, but so far I have not had the time to be able to
repeat the issue frequently enough to identify why (or to match the
problem occurrences with an entries in the red5/log/*.log).  These
issues have not been too serious, closing the browser and logging back
in to the room fixes most, on a few occasions I have had to reboot my
PC.  I have also observed more issues when the PC is wirelessly connect
(wireless LAN), which could be related to my Wireless router.

 

My hope is that if there is enough of us "users of OpenMeetings", we can
identify issues, check with each other to see if the others can also
create the same issue, thus confirm the problem is not just with our own
environment, and be able to report an issue in a way that the developers

Re: exclusive audio in Build #68

Posted by Daniel Ascher <da...@aplustutoring.com>.
I would like to thank everyone who is working so hard on this project. I am
not an engineer so I can't contribute any coding. But if there is anything
I can do to further this effort, please let me know!

Re: exclusive audio in Build #68

Posted by Alexei Fedotov <al...@gmail.com>.
I'm really happy seeing new faces (George, Sergey, Stephen) around
with thoughtful and skillful posts - Openmeetings needs you, guys, for a
strong community. The strong community is mandatory for us to leave
incubation and become an full-scale Apache project.

Thank you.

RE: 506, "registering_mail_text_head", 507, "registering_mail_text_head2",

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Hi,

 

Apologies, my previous email said 518, but it was supposed to be 512,
"register_mail_subject". 

 

Some of our users were confused when our OpenMeetings Administrator
created their accounts (yes, that is me),  and they received an email
saying "OpenMeetings SignUp". They were confused because they actually
never "signed up" for OpenMeetings, instead someone else (the CO2CRC
Adminstirator) created their account on their behalf.

 

I would like to propose the following changes to the English text as
suggested below.  Please review and let me know if this would cause any
issues where else the text is used.  Please also let me know if you
believe the suggested text changes are an improvement or not.

 

506, "registering_mail_text_head", "OpenMeetings SignUp" changed to
"OpenMeetings Account Details".

 

507, "registering_mail_text_head2", "Your user data", changed to "Your
account details".

 

512, "register_mail_subject",  "OpenMeetings SignUp" changed to "Your
OpenMeetings account details".

 

I have tested the account creation by using "Not a member?" at the
"Login" screen, and the 'automatically generated account details email'
uses this same text that is sent when the Administrator creates an
account.  While the wording no longer mentions "sign up", I personally
do not have an issue with this, and it is a lot easier that altering the
code to include text for both ways of signing up.  Your comments on my
suggestions, please.

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

RE: exclusive audio in Build #68

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Sebastian,

 

I have tested 1) and 2) and these issues have been fixed.  Looks good,
works well !  thanks.

 

I used "svn checkout
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/openmeetings/trunk/singleweba
pp/" which 'Checked out revision 1337752.", as I expect that revision
1337752 would contain "1337492" as well.

 

1)      When the moderator hovers over the red disable icon of the
"Allow/Deny right to give exclusive audio" column for either of the two
other participants, the text that hovers is "Allow user to give
exclusive audio", but after they have been granted rights to give
exclusive audio, if you hover over the green circled tick, then the text
says "User is Moderator, he can do anything.", where as it would be more
correct if the hover text said "Remove ability to give exclusive audio",
like the "Remove ability to draw on the whiteboard".  The "Allow/Deny
right to Remote Control Screen" ticks also has the same issue (they
display "User is Moderator, he can do anything.").   In fact in this
scenario the statement "User is Moderator, he can do anything." is
incorrect as this user is not a moderator.

2)      I would have expected that giving users the "Allow user to give
exclusive audio" would allow users to control the who currently has
exclusive audio (i.e. whose mic is not muted), but the users cannot
control the use of "exclusive audio" (unless they are made moderators).

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

Hi George,

your idea to additionally make the exlusive-audio option available by
clicking on the green dot sounds good.
I will go through your list and comment in detail soon.

exclusive audio in Build #68

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Hi, I am testing the functionality in build #68

 

These I believe are issues, please check and comment.

 

Test scenario, one moderator, two other participants (one with Audio &
Video and one with Audio only) then join the meeting. A forth
participant joins the meeting 

 

1)      When the moderator hovers over the red disable icon of the
"Allow/Deny right to give exclusive audio" column for either of the two
other participants, the text that hovers is "Allow user to give
exclusive audio", but after they have been granted rights to give
exclusive audio, if you hover over the green circled tick, then the text
says "User is Moderator, he can do anything.", where as it would be more
correct if the hover text said "Remove ability to give exclusive audio",
like the "Remove ability to draw on the whiteboard".  The "Allow/Deny
right to Remote Control Screen" ticks also has the same issue (they
display "User is Moderator, he can do anything.").   In fact in this
scenario the statement "User is Moderator, he can do anything." is
incorrect as this user is not a moderator.



2)      I would have expected that giving users the "Allow user to give
exclusive audio" would allow users to control the who currently has
exclusive audio (i.e. whose mic is not muted), but the users cannot
control the use of "exclusive audio" (unless they are made moderators).



3)      It seems the only way to give exclusive audio is by clicking the
centre of  that persons video window, but if a person is set to "Audio
only", then they don't have a video window so there is no way to grant
them "exclusive audio".  Would it not be better to have a way to control
exclusive audio from the "Users" list?  Why not use the round green
(user speaks) icon.  (see point 5 where it was found that the fourth
user to the meeting did get a third, video like window where they could
control the "exclusive audio" for the person who was set to "audio
only".  But these windows did not appear for the moderator or the other
two who were the first to join.



4)      In the "Users" list there is a round green icon like the green
icon that appears in the Video window, but unlike the video window, it
does not change to solid green when the user is speaking, I believe it
is supposed to?  If it is not, then what does it do?  The hover text
says "User speaks".



5)      when a fourth user joined the meeting (with no audio/video),
they had two video windows (moderator and the one user who was sending
video) and one other window like a video window but without any picture
as the name label of that window indicated that it was the other user
who was sending audio only.  This fourth user, when made a moderator
could control who had "exclusive audio", but only when a moderator. The
other three users still had no way to give the "audio only" user,
"exclusive audio".



6)      I did a few audio tests to see how much echo was an issue, and I
am amazed, I had no echo.  I will try to test this again,  another day.
Thanks to those who have been working on OpenMeetings.

 

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

root privilages

I run OpenMeetings using http://mydomain.com.au/ and it will redirect to
http://mydomain.com.au/openmeetings but then there is no response from
the server.

I am getting no error information from the log files.

Hi George,

I am using OM on port 80 and there is no problem. In fact I could not
understand your problem clearly. Can you post error messages or warnings
in the logs. That would make the issue clearer, I think.

Moreover, there is an issue that, as I remember right, running
red5/openmeetings on a port below or equal 1200 requires to be root.

Regards,

Stephen,

The server is only for OpenMeetings, so no Apache running (or
installed), and nothing else on that port.

I did find the difference, in my first server I was running openMeetings
as the root user, but with subsequent servers I had been using nobody.
Running OpenMeetings under nobody works well for port 5080, but not for
port 80, and I cannot understand why that might be.

One thing I could try is to create a full account called "openmeetings"
which has a home directory and then try running OpenMeetings under this
account. Sometimes software requires an account with a home directory,
not just a dummy account.

I believe the issue is related with OpenMeetings code somewhere, as the
Red5 server is running and accepting connections (root), just when you
try to run OpenMeetings itself, that fails.

If I get success at any time, I will post back, but first I wanted to
learn if anyone was familiar with the issue, and it looks like everyone
else has their OpenMeetings servers either using port 5080 or are
successfully running under 'nobody'.

You aren't using Apache on the new Debian server are you?

If Apache is running on port 80 then they will conflict.

To aid in finding the problem, If you go here

/usr/lib/red5

Then chmod 755 red5-debug.sh

Then start it using the debug mode

./red5-debug.sh

This will tell you more about why its failing to start.

Hi,

Has anyone had success/issues with using port 80 instead of port 5080.

I have a number of Debian OpenMeetings servers. The first that I built I
have configured using port 80 instead of port 5080, and all works well.

Since that time I have built a few more Debian OpenMeetings servers and
I cannot get any of them to work with port 80. I really do not think the
issue is with OpenMeetings or its configuration, because I can copy the
entire "red5" folder from the new servers to the first (working) server
and it will work on port 80.

I am hoping that someone may have had similar issues and knows how to
resolved it.

Thanks,

George Kirkham

Hi George,

What is it that I should add to all the other language files?
=> It makes it more easy to give a complete (but not fully translated)
file to translators. Lots of people tend to just download the
language-xml file and translate that. If those files are all incomplete
or certain labels are missing that this is just too confusing.

The same English item, and then hope those with knowledge of the other
languages
modify for the languages that they are proficient in?
=> Yes you can fill them up in English and hope that some translators
will look into that file. Of course it might take months or even years
until really all languages are filled up. You could also use
translate.google.com <http://translate.google.com> and look for a
translation.

Maybe there are other practices that I would be good for me to follow,
if so, please let me know.
=> If you edit the XML files please don't add linebreaks (some editors
do that automatically), if you want to include a "save" linebreak you
would actually enter something like this:

&lt;br/&gt;

(this is XML encoded HTML linebreak "<br/>")

Hi,

What is the correct process for adding a new item to the Language files
?

I have been informed that "If you add a new label we have a common
(undocumentated) rule: We add this label to all language files. You can
fill up other language files the english one. However all language files
should contain the same number of labels and not only a subset."

What is it that I should add to all the other language files? The same
English item, and then hope those with knowledge of the other languages
modify for the languages that they are proficient in? Is there a way to
ask others to check and update any languages that they are proficient
in? Maybe there are other practices that I would be good for me to
follow, if so, please let me know.

I noticed that the Japanese file has
<string id="262" name="salutation_miss">
<value>Ms.</value>
</string>


Thanks,

George Kirkham

RE: 80

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Since Apache can and does listen on Port 80, is there a way to have Apache redirect all traffic on port 80 (or better yet, all traffic for www.mydomain.com.au/openmeeting  to port 5080 where red5/Openmeeting can be listening ?

 

I have not tried this as I thought it would not work.

 

                ServerName www.mydomain.com.au:80

#             Redirect / https:www.mydomain.com.au/openmeetings

                RequestHeader set Front-End-Https "On"

                ProxyPreserveHost On

                ProxyRequests off

                ProxyVia On

                

 

                RewriteEngine On

                RewriteMap percentsubject int:escape

                RewriteCond $1 ^/openmeetings/.*\%.*$

                RewriteRule (/openmeetings/.*) ${percentsubject:$1} [P]

 

        RewriteRule openmeetings([^/].*) /openmeetings/$1 [R,QSA,L]

 

 

        <Location /openmeetings>

                ProxyPass https://www.mydomain.com.au/openmeetings/

                ProxyPassReverse https://www.mydomain.com.au/openmeetings/

I agree with Sergey that the port should be configurable to make it possible using port >1024, still it may be 80 port by default. Right now there are no known issues to have that implemented without httpd, still it requies some work. Rtmp will use 1935, but fall back to that default port and rtmpt if fail. Maxim thinks that cannot be done just tweaking tomcat (? The java server embedded into red5) configuration, but some proxy-like plug-in to sort traffic.

Hi George,

I am using OM on port 80 and there is no problem. In fact I could not
understand your problem clearly. Can you post error messages or warnings
in the logs. That would make the issue clearer, I think.

Moreover, there is an issue that, as I remember right, running
red5/openmeetings on a port below or equal 1200 requires to be root.

Regards,

Stephen,

The server is only for OpenMeetings, so no Apache running (or
installed), and nothing else on that port.

I did find the difference, in my first server I was running openMeetings
as the root user, but with subsequent servers I had been using nobody.
Running OpenMeetings under nobody works well for port 5080, but not for
port 80, and I cannot understand why that might be.

One thing I could try is to create a full account called “openmeetings”
which has a home directory and then try running OpenMeetings under this
account. Sometimes software requires an account with a home directory,
not just a dummy account.

I believe the issue is related with OpenMeetings code somewhere, as the
Red5 server is running and accepting connections (root), just when you
try to run OpenMeetings itself, that fails.

If I get success at any time, I will post back, but first I wanted to
learn if anyone was familiar with the issue, and it looks like everyone
else has their OpenMeetings servers either using port 5080 or are
successfully running under ‘nobody’.

You aren’t using Apache on the new Debian server are you?

If Apache is running on port 80 then they will conflict.

To aid in finding the problem, If you go here

/usr/lib/red5

Then chmod 755 red5-debug.sh

Then start it using the debug mode

./red5-debug.sh

This will tell you more about why its failing to start.

Cheers

Hi,

Has anyone had success/issues with using port 80 instead of port 5080.

I have a number of Debian OpenMeetings servers. The first that I built I
have configured using port 80 instead of port 5080, and all works well.

Since that time I have built a few more Debian OpenMeetings servers and
I cannot get any of them to work with port 80. I really do not think the
issue is with OpenMeetings or its configuration, because I can copy the
entire “red5” folder from the new servers to the first (working) server
and it will work on port 80.

I am hoping that someone may have had similar issues and knows how to
resolved it.

Thanks,

George Kirkham

Hi George,

What is it that I should add to all the other language files?
=> It makes it more easy to give a complete (but not fully translated)
file to translators. Lots of people tend to just download the
language-xml file and translate that. If those files are all incomplete
or certain labels are missing that this is just too confusing.

The same English item, and then hope those with knowledge of the other
languages
modify for the languages that they are proficient in?
=> Yes you can fill them up in English and hope that some translators
will look into that file. Of course it might take months or even years
until really all languages are filled up. You could also use
translate.google.com <http://translate.google.com> and look for a
translation.

Maybe there are other practices that I would be good for me to follow,
if so, please let me know.
=> If you edit the XML files please don't add linebreaks (some editors
do that automatically), if you want to include a "save" linebreak you
would actually enter something like this:

&lt;br/&gt;

(this is XML encoded HTML linebreak "<br/>")

Hi,

What is the correct process for adding a new item to the Language files
?

I have been informed that "If you add a new label we have a common
(undocumentated) rule: We add this label to all language files. You can
fill up other language files the english one. However all language files
should contain the same number of labels and not only a subset."

What is it that I should add to all the other language files? The same
English item, and then hope those with knowledge of the other languages
modify for the languages that they are proficient in? Is there a way to
ask others to check and update any languages that they are proficient
in? Maybe there are other practices that I would be good for me to
follow, if so, please let me know.

I noticed that the Japanese file has
<string id="262" name="salutation_miss">
<value>Ms.</value>
</string>


Thanks,

George Kirkham

Re: 80

Posted by Alexei Fedotov <al...@gmail.com>.
I agree with Sergey that the port should be configurable to make it
possible using port >1024, still it may be 80 port by default. Right now
there are no known issues to have that implemented without httpd, still it
requies some work. Rtmp will use 1935, but fall back to that default port
and rtmpt if fail. Maxim thinks that cannot be done just tweaking tomcat (?
The java server embedded into red5) configuration, but some proxy-like
plug-in to sort traffic.

Re: 80

Posted by Sergey Kobzar <se...@itcraft.org>.
George

I'm sorry - read
"On Linux to run service on port >1024 you need root privileges"
as
"On Linux to run service on port <1024 you need root privileges"
please.

In other words ordinary users can not run services listening ports below 
1024.

RE: 80

Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Mahmut,

 

Thanks for your comments, the configuration that I am using is below,
are these settings the same or similar to how you run OpenMeetings or
port 80 ?   If you don't mind sharing, what is your server's OS?, and
what would be your configuration settings that gets OpenMeetings to run
on port 80 instead of port 5080 ?  Maybe there are other areas that I
need to modify other that the two that I am currently changing.

 

/etc/init.d/red5

        start-stop-daemon --start -c nobody --pidfile $PIDFILE --chdir
$RED5_HOME --background --make-pidfile --exec $DAEMON >/dev/null
2>/dev/null &

 

/usr/lib/red5/conf/red5.properties

 # HTTP

http.host=0.0.0.0

http.port=80

https.port=8443

http.URIEncoding=UTF-8

 

/usr/lib/red5/webapps/openmeetings/config.xml

<red5httpport>80</red5httpport>

 

I run OpenMeetings using http://mydomain.com.au/ and it will redirect to
http://mydomain.com.au/openmeetings  but then there is no response from
the server.

 

I am getting no error information from the log files.

 

When I do netstat -anp | grep java

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8100          0.0.0.0:*

However when I run as root user, then all works, see below for "netstat

/etc/init.d/red5

Hi George,

   I am using OM on port 80 and there is no problem. In fact I could not
understand your problem clearly. Can you post error messages or warnings
in the logs. That would make the issue clearer, I think.
 
  Moreover, there is an issue that, as I remember right,   running
red5/openmeetings on a port below or equal 1200 requires to be root.

Running OpenMeetings under nobody works well for port 5080, but not for

One thing I could try is to create a full account called "openmeetings"
which has a home directory and then try running OpenMeetings under this
account.  Sometimes software requires an account with a home directory,
not just a dummy account.

 

I believe the issue is related with OpenMeetings code somewhere, as the
Red5 server is running and accepting connections (root), just when you
try to run OpenMeetings itself, that fails.

 

If I get success at any time, I will post back, but first I wanted to
learn if anyone was familiar with the issue, and it looks like everyone
else has their OpenMeetings servers either using port 5080 or are
successfully running under 'nobody'.

You aren't using Apache on the new Debian server are you?

 

If Apache is running on port 80 then they will conflict.

 

To aid in finding the problem, If you go here

 

/usr/lib/red5

 

Then chmod 755 red5-debug.sh

 

Then start it using the debug mode

 

./red5-debug.sh

 

This will tell you more about why its failing to start.

Hi,

 

Has anyone had success/issues with using port 80 instead of port 5080.

 

I have a number of  Debian OpenMeetings servers. The first that I built
I have configured using port 80 instead of port 5080, and all works
well.

 

Since that time I have built a few more Debian OpenMeetings servers and
I cannot get any of them to work with port 80.  I really do not think
the issue is with OpenMeetings or its configuration, because I can copy
the entire "red5" folder from the new servers to the first (working)
server and it will work on port 80.

 

I am hoping that someone may have had similar issues and knows how to
resolved it.  

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham

Hi George,

What is it that I should add to all the other language files?
=> It makes it more easy to give a complete (but not fully translated)
file to translators. Lots of people tend to just download the
language-xml file and translate that. If those files are all incomplete
or certain labels are missing that this is just too confusing.

The same English item, and then hope those with knowledge of the other
languages
modify for the languages that they are proficient in?
=> Yes you can fill them up in English and hope that some translators
will look into that file. Of course it might take months or even years
until really all languages are filled up. You could also use 
translate.google.com and look for a translation.

Maybe there are other practices that I would be good for me to follow,
if so, please let me know.
=> If you edit the XML files please don't add linebreaks (some editors
do that automatically), if you want to include a "save" linebreak you
would actually enter something like this:

Hi,

What is the correct process for adding a new item to the Language files
?

I have been informed that "If you add a new label we have a common
(undocumentated) rule: We add this label to all language files. You can
fill up other language files the english one. However all language files
should contain the same number of labels and not only a subset."

What is it that I should add to all the other language files?  The same
English item, and then hope those with knowledge of the other languages
modify for the languages that they are proficient in?  Is there a way to
ask others to check and update any languages that they are proficient
in?  Maybe there are other practices that I would be good for me to
follow, if so, please let me know.

I noticed that the Japanese file has
 <string id="262" name="salutation_miss">
   <value>Ms.</value>
 </string>


Thanks,

George Kirkham

Hi,

 

Has anyone had success/issues with using port 80 instead of port 5080.

 

I have a number of  Debian OpenMeetings servers. The first that I built
I have configured using port 80 instead of port 5080, and all works
well.

 

Since that time I have built a few more Debian OpenMeetings servers and
I cannot get any of them to work with port 80.  I really do not think
the issue is with OpenMeetings or its configuration, because I can copy
the entire "red5" folder from the new servers to the first (working)
server and it will work on port 80.

 

I am hoping that someone may have had similar issues and knows how to
resolved it.  

 

/usr/lib/red5/conf/red5.properties

 

# HTTP

http.host=0.0.0.0

http.port=80

https.port=8443

http.URIEncoding=UTF-8

 

/usr/lib/red5/webapps/openmeetings/config.xml

<red5httpport>80</red5httpport>

 

 

Thanks,

Hi George,

What is it that I should add to all the other language files?
=> It makes it more easy to give a complete (but not fully translated)
file to translators. Lots of people tend to just download the
language-xml file and translate that. If those files are all incomplete
or certain labels are missing that this is just too confusing.

The same English item, and then hope those with knowledge of the other
languages
modify for the languages that they are proficient in?
=> Yes you can fill them up in English and hope that some translators
will look into that file. Of course it might take months or even years
until really all languages are filled up. You could also use 
translate.google.com and look for a translation.

Maybe there are other practices that I would be good for me to follow,
if so, please let me know.
=> If you edit the XML files please don't add linebreaks (some editors
do that automatically), if you want to include a "save" linebreak you
would actually enter something like this: 

&lt;br/&gt;

(this is XML encoded HTML linebreak "<br/>")

Hi,

What is the correct process for adding a new item to the Language files
?

I have been informed that "If you add a new label we have a common
(undocumentated) rule: We add this label to all language files. You can
fill up other language files the english one. However all language files
should contain the same number of labels and not only a subset."

What is it that I should add to all the other language files?  The same
English item, and then hope those with knowledge of the other languages
modify for the languages that they are proficient in?  Is there a way to
ask others to check and update any languages that they are proficient
in?  Maybe there are other practices that I would be good for me to
follow, if so, please let me know.

I noticed that the Japanese file has
 <string id="262" name="salutation_miss">
   <value>Ms.</value>
 </string>


Thanks,

George Kirkham

RE: 80

Posted by Stephen Cottham <St...@robertbird.com.au>.
You aren't using Apache on the new Debian server are you?

 

If Apache is running on port 80 then they will conflict.

 

To aid in finding the problem, If you go here

 

/usr/lib/red5

 

Then chmod 755 red5-debug.sh

 

Then start it using the debug mode

 

./red5-debug.sh

 

This will tell you more about why its failing to start.

 

Cheers
