[Gnump3d-users] gnump3d - test pointed two errors

[indravenik]

Dear All,

I am a newbie to this gnump3d application. Its a nice tool in first 
look itself. But I am having some queries which I  couldn't find in FAQ 
or in documentation, thus I am posting them here, wish to get the reply 
soon.

I download the gnump3d-3.0 version (tar.gz) file and extracted it, 
installed using make install. Installation was successful. I am using 
Debian Lenny.

1. After installation of the gnump3d, I executed the make test, to test 
my application, and the following is the output,

How can I resolve the above Failures ?

2. I ignored the above failures, and proceeded to start the server, 
after placing the files at the directory mentioned in the conf file, and 
then accessed using http://localhost:8888 and was able to see the home 
page of my streaming server. Well, I was even able to play the videos 
through browser. But the problem here is, when I am trying to access my 
server from a client machine (windows client, using internet explorer 
and mozilla firefox) I am seeing that Videos are downloaded to the local 
machine and then played. [Note: In my conf file, I have always_stream = 
1]. In some windows machines, the file is downlaoded completely, but its 
not played, even though the file format support is available to the player.

3. I want to know, whats the stability of this streaming server, can I 
use it for large content streaming ?

4. And exactly what are the file formats that are supported by the 
gnump3d server.

Awaiting for the reply.


Thanks & Regards
