Notes on ScopePort

You can now install the latest version of the ScopePort client via Rubygems. The gem is hosted at GitHub so you have to add GitHub as a repository first:

root@sundaysister# gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

You can now install the ScopePort client:

root@sundaysister# gem install lennartkoopmann-scopeport-client-ruby

Just start the client with “scopeport-client” if the gem binaries are in your $PATH.

Note that the current client version can only connect to a ScopePort server. It does not send real sensor data yet.

If you use Fedora with PulseAudio and have the problem that you don’t get sound in Flash (SWF) your system might be missing the “libflashsupport” package.

yum install libflashsupport

In my case the audio channel of the Youtube video was flickering in the Pulse Audio control and there was no sound at all.
