Reflector not working properly!!!
Reflector not working properly!!!
I am working in unicast-only network. I've Reflector on a machine different from the one from which I'm running ConferenceXP. I did specify the IP of the machine running the reflector in the settings of ConferenceXP. But I have a problem. When I want to join the CXP signal 1 venue, using the reflector on my machine, only my window video comes up; however when I choose the conferencexp-reflector.commons.internet2.edu I get both my window video and the other one to. Why is that? I've checked the event viewer file for Reflector Service and request to join/ or leave the venue are there.
In other words what should I do to get conferenceXP running using the reflector?
Another question not related to this issue: I've seen sometimes that a black video window opening what might be the cause?

A Reflector has to be installed on the Multicast Enabled network. If your Reflector is not on the Internet 2 backbone (as I suspect), it doesn't bridge you into the multicast group any better than your regular machine can connect. Using our Reflector works because it is on the multicast enabled network.
Did you install Windows Media Player 11 beta 2? That will cause a black video window. It should be fixed by RTM.
