Send/Receive Implementation • Send • Application zips XML file with referenced media files; uploads ZIP file to FTP server; adds new database entry. • Receive • Application thread created at startup queries database every 5 seconds for new SMIL files. • Application downloads and unzips file; removes file from FTP server and database entry; notifies user.
Send/Receive Implementation • Server: cscdb.nku.edu • FTP server • MySQL database • PHP scripts for interacting with database • send (add database entry) • receive (query database for messages) • delete (remove database entry after receipt)
Difficulties • Playback Performance • Player creates a new thread for every audio and video file during playback. • Lower audio playback thread priority. • Sleep video thread every quarter of a second.
