RE: Can we use openoffice documents directly in the openmeetings without converting them?
Rishi, Lets see if I can answer this before anyone else. I believe the solution you want is "Screen Sharing" with or without enabling remote control for other users. To give people a good resolution, I recommend screen sharing from a PC that has smaller screen resolution than any of the PCs that people are using to view the shared screen, that way they can display the screen at 100% (zoom of 100), which gives great screen quality.

Re: Can we use openoffice documents directly in the openmeetings without converting them?
Hey, I think you mis-understood the mail. I want that the open office documents to be directly shared among the users in a conference and can be used for editing, marking etc without converting it into other formats like pdf and swf formats. Is it possible to do so? Or can we share live screens using openmeetings?

RE: Can we use openoffice documents directly in the openmeetings without converting them?
Rishi, Yes I do understand. But for OpenMeetings, the only way you can share the "actual" document while it is being edited is via "Screen Sharing", because the only way to edit a document is in the document's actual program, e.g. Microsoft Excel document can be edited by Microsoft Excel, and by OpenMeetings screen sharing Excel from your desktop, all users can view it while you edit it. If you want other users to be able to edit the document, then allow them to remote control the shared screen. This does work quite effectively, as long as people have patience, as screen sharing is not fast, but it does work.

RE: Different Dashboards
Hello Everyone, I just want to maintain two dash boards one for admin and one for users. I got this thought from mainnavi, there administration dropdown is not available for users so why can't we maintain different dashboards for different users like admin and normal user. It will be so good to have like that, Please suggest me how to do this according to mainnavi administration.

RTMPSClient questions
Hello All, I seems to finish implementing RTMPS screen sharing client. To work it requires additional keystore "red5/conf/keystore.screen" with the password specified in red5.properties: "rtmps.keystorepass" Q1: how good to have same password for red5/conf/keystore and red5/conf/keystore.screen? Should I add additional parameter to set up separate password and customize keystore location? The specified keystore/password are passed to the screensharing applet via : keystore as base64 encoded binary, password in plaintext. To avoid compromising "main" keystore I did the following: 1) create separate keystore (keystore.screen) with its own key 2) add key from 1 to "original" keystore Q2: Is this OK? Maybe anybody can suggest better (more secure) way of handling it? Probably without second certificate? Thanks in advance -- WBR Maxim aka solomax

A status option for the /etc/init.d/red5.sh script
Hi,
Should anyone find this useful or see an issue with this code, please let me
know.
When running a service, I like to be able to check the status of that service,
and so I have added the following to the /etc/init.d/red5.sh script.
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
status)
# status $PROG -p $PIDFILE
netstat -anp | grep soffice | grep 8100 &> /dev/nul && echo
$"OpenOffice server is running" || echo $"OpenOffice server is not running"
#ps aux | grep -f $PIDFILE &> /dev/nul && echo $"$PROG is running" ||
echo $"$PROG is not running"
start-stop-daemon --status --pidfile $PIDFILE
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && echo $"$PROG is running"
[ $RETVAL -eq 1 ] && echo $"$PROG is not running and the pid file
exists"
[ $RETVAL -eq 3 ] && echo $"$PROG is not running"
[ $RETVAL -eq 4 ] && echo $"$PROG - unable to determine status"
;;
checkports)
netstat -anp | grep soffice
netstat -anp | grep java
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status|checkports}"
RETVAL=1
1) While I prefer using start-stop-daemon to check the status, the code
“ps aux …” works just as well if you uncomment it.
#ps aux | grep -f $PIDFILE &> /dev/nul && echo $"$PROG is running" || echo
$"$PROG
2) I also like to check what ports are being used when I am altering ports
so I also added a “checkports” option.
Thanks,
George Kirkham
