Hi, I have recently done some work to allow the DB in my videos to have multiple clients across a network. The reason for this being if you have multiple clients you only have one DB and do not need to reconfigure it on every machine.
The way I have done it is outlined below:
- Taken DB logic and put in a separate server exe.
- Implemented (most of) the video DB interface to send and receive requests to the server exe.
All communication is done via XML messages sent via http. The reason for this being it is open, stateless and very robust. From the testing I have done, this all works quite well.
My big issue is that I don’t really have time to do all the work integrating this, (config screens, etc). Therefore if one of the devs would like the code or more details to integrate this into MPI or MPII, they are very welcome. I expect this sort of functionality might already be in the pipeline, but I just thought I’d offer.
