Hi Douglas, I was able to use your instructions for this with the following comments:

The assumes the patch file wasn't downloaded to the home dir (i.e ~/ ), "wasn't" = "was" :-)

The vic loaded into the browser as a page - I was able to resave it as a file from the browser window. You might check that, it'll throw some users that it wasn't downloaded as a file in both cases - the patch and the vic. Copying the vic file I found those directories on my OS X machine under /.AccessGrid3/local_services/VideoConsumerService, etc. Works. In fact, just off the top of my head - I noticed the new vic displays the h261as previews... Just fine! And the producer vic, while hidden, actually shows up. :-) After un-hiding the producer vic I was able to play around (on my MBP - 3 year old+ 2.33Ghz model) and send video in h261as in 640x480, then crashed it sending mpeg4 video, then h264 video worked... But of course processor intensive. Great. -John Q. -- John I.

Hi Tyler,

Snow Leopard comes with both Python 2.5 and 2.6, so with a bit of modifications I was able to get the Intel AG 3.2 beta to work, here are the steps:

After installing Intel AG 3.2 beta, download the following patch file: http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/ag3/macosx/10.6/AG-3.2-beta-patch.txt

Then on the command-line:

cd /Applications sudo patch -p0 < ~/AG-3.2-beta-patch.txt

The assumes the patch file wasn't downloaded to the home dir (i.e ~/ ), change appropriately if downloaded elsewhere.

The patch replaces the existing shebang first line with #! /usr/bin/python2.5 and python2 with pythonw2.5 in a number of files.

The VIC that comes with AG 3.2 beta doesn't seem to work. After running the VenueClient at least once, download a newer vic built on Snow Leopard from: http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/ag3/macosx/10.6/vic

then copy it to one or more of the following locations: ~/.Accessgrid3/VideoConsumerService/ ~/.Accessgrid3/VideoService/ ~/.Accessgrid3/VideoProducerService/

Hi Tyler,

...

Has anyone heard of potential problems with Accessgrid running on the new OSX? I know it just came out. Anyone tried it yet?

As Snow Leopard comes with Python 2.6, the Python 2.5 based AG 3.2 beta for Leopard won't work.

AGTk would require a rebuild against Python 2.6 from source code.
