Hi!
If you have too many computers with KDE2.0 around, you can test network
transparency for aRts (should work between different architectures, too).
You need the latest cvs snapshot - updated after this mail.
First of all, make sure that network transparency is enabled in the new
"KControl/Sound/Soundserver" module on the machine artsd is running on.
When you start artsd manually, you can achieve the same using artsd -n.
Also make sure that obtaining initial references over X11 is enabled.
For the client machines, you should check manually that .mcoprc in your
home contains the line
GlobalComm=X11GlobalComm
Then you should be able to try things like this on the client:
artsplay /path/to/filename/on/server.wav
artscontrol
kaiman --skin car-preset
(at least for me the other skin seems currently broken)
mpg123 -s anmp3.mp3 | artscat
(or similar)
The server code assumes that a world wide valid URL for your server is
tcp:<gethostname()>.<getdomainname()>:port.
I hope that this method of defining the URL works for everybody. I am open
to any suggestions how to improve the process to find the server from the
stringified mcop object reference.
Cu... Stefan
