11 Feb 2008. Multi-room conference server

ConferenceServer supports a number of separate voice chat rooms now. When you create a room on the server side, you set the room name and password. Specifying a room name/password on the client side connects a client to the corresponding server room.

There is no need in assigning a separate TCP/UDP port for each room. ConferenceServer uses a single TCP/UPD port for all the rooms.

09 Aug 2007. Byte order detection

We have recently discovered that you may experience the byte-order problem with Barix Annuncicom device when you stream audio in PCM format. There is no problem with other codecs (aLwa, uLaw, MPEG) though, so the text below applies to the uncompressed format only.

(Read the article about VCX library + Barix Annuncicom)

In order to overcome this problem, you can now use StreamByteOrderInput IpServer component property which let you always swap bytes, auto-detect the byte order once and swap bytes accordingly, or auto-detect the byte order and swap bytes constantly.

Try the "auto-detect once" option and then "auto-detect constantly" one.

StreamByteOrderInput and StreamByteOrderOutput properties have been added to IpServer and IpClient components.
