I've been searching around and found the mxj jitwebimage example in the java folder in the examples folder. Works great for images, but I'm looking for something similar for video files.

I have a patch that records 20 sec videos from a cam and saves them to the local disk.

I have other machines with monitors that are meant to play those videos.

I'm trying to find a solution for playing those videos on the other machines.

1) Mount the video recording machine as a network drive on the video playing machines and reference files directly. ex: /Volumes/...

--> I'm thinking this will be problematic if 7 video playing machines are all hitting the recording machine at the same time. It will put a big burden on the video record machine & network. This also becomes a problem if I want to have other video playing machines that aren't on the local network.

2) Have the video recording machine upload videos to web server & video playing machines download them locally.

--> I'm looking into jit.uldl for this. Read some on forum that say it didn't work on OSX 10.5.. I'm running Lion, haven't tested yet.

The other design problem is that new videos will be recorded as users interact & create them. Any ideas on logic for downloading only newly created files to the video playing machines?

I'm including my current patches to help give an idea of what's going on:

Video recording patch (triggered by make controller feeding in proximity data from sensors):

Video playing patch (triggers video playback via proximity sensor data from make controller):

All will be networked.

Anything like mxj jitwebimage for video files?
