Resolume Forum

Hello

I've installed Resolume a week ago, our sys admin came to me and said that the program is constantly broadcasting heavily (udp) and disturbing the network.
How can I stop it ?

Thanks

Using resolume at work? lol

What about locking resolume down with a firewall?

What's it doing anyway?

yeah, I've also noticed that resolume activates my firewall, maby it sends video over network by default

its probably the vidnet thing. i dont think you can disable it in resolume

tell your sys admin to shut the f$%# up and let you party

Hi,
vidnet is not broadcasting video by default. That would be very slow of course and uneccesary. We do however broadcast messages by UDP to let other computers know resolume is running on your pc. So that different computers running resolume can find each other.

There is no normal way to turn this off, what you could do is move the vidnet.dll library wich is in your resolume install dir to another place. Then resolume can't find the dll and won't be able to broadcast anymore. But this is just a hack.
The udp messages are not harmfull at all.
So if you have no system administrator breathing down your neck there is no reason to disable this.

Hi Edwin,

I did as you suggested above, moved the vidnet.dll to a secret location, and still have 14 networked computers running demo versions of resolume talking to each other when I don't want them too!

So vidnet is working well, too well.

I am conducting VJ workshops for 10 to 12 year olds in a school environment where the computers need to be networked for the kiddies even to log on. I can not create a separate partition of windows, nor disable the network. When I have all 14 computers up and running the software, when one crashes the others follow suit. And this does not fare well with the wee ones...please any further ideas of how to disable vidnet from within the software, or locally ?

Aside from this the kids absolutely love it!!! I am currently in a very small remote region in South Westland, better send this email as now the power just cut out...will go any minute...please any help would be appreciated.

As said before.. you probably could disable all Resolume networkactivity by just configure the firewalls on each computer. Let them block resolume.

Zone Alarm asks me to let resolume act as a server.. just deny that message and it should work imho?!

Thanks for that suggestion,

In the short term I have found that using resolume 1.51, which does not have networking capabilities suits my purposes in the classroom just fine.

But the kids always ask for advanced functions like: the ability to have multiple decks open at once... which 1.51 doesn't have.

Anyway, I will try blocking resolume at firewall option, next time I have a chance.

Will be sticking with resolume 1.51 for VJ workshops in future, as most schools I visit can't handle anything more, let alone resolume avenue, which is extremely hungery for processing power!

Viva resolume avenue! Well done.
