OpenDJ UNIX-based P2P Streamer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the unix-does-it-better dept.

hardcorejon writes "I found the Streamer software interesting, particularly because I've also written a remarkably similar piece of software, called OPENdj. Because Streamer requires Windows, I thought my fellow Slashdot readers would be interested in OPENdj, which is an open source Java/Linux-based distributed streamer. Development on OPENdj began over a year ago, with version 1.0.0 appearing this past May. It has some slick features, including automatic archiving, archive search, stream meta-tagging, listener counts and chat rooms. Download it, bang on it, send me patches :)"

    Hello slashdot folk.

    I'm really interested in getting as much feedback on OPENdj as I can. Towards that end, if you have any questions, comments, concerns that you'd like to direct towards me, please let me know.

    Thanks,

  2. Port to C immediately by HanzoSan · · Score: 1, Informative

    You wont get any development support if you keep using java. Port to C.

    Java apps are not easy to install usually for any OS because they require a Virtual Machine, why not just use C and develop cross platform? Please tell me why you picked java?

    Thats the only problem i have with your app. I understand java allows easier cross platform development but you could have done the same thing with C, it wouldnt be as quick and easy but you'd have better support and better code in the long run.

  4. Here's your explanation by hardcorejon · · Score: 4, Informative

    Why Java?

    Because server side networking code is REALLY easy in Java. Writing multithreaded code is REALLY easy in Java.

    That said, OPENdj is really built on top of open wire-level protocols. The current client and server are in Java. I'm working on a C client right now. If someone wants to reimplement the server in C, go for it!
