Build and execution of the project:

You can install the IntelliJ IDE to build and debug the project. Make sure to open "File->Project Structures" and add the xuggler libraries to the project.

Once you build the project, go to it's out\production\SMART directory. To start the server, use the command like follows:

java -cp "%CLASSPATH%;.;\GitHub\SMART\lib\xuggle-xuggler-5.4.jar;\GitHub\SMART\libslf4j-api-1.7.7.jar" com.SMART.SmartServer

Note to include "." in classpath.

It is similar to start the Router and the player. Both the router and player take a command line argument which points to a configuration file.

For the SmartRouter class, make sure to have the argument pointing to a file that contains the router information. I included a smart_graph.txt in the code. Basically the file contains two lines for each router. The first line is the IP address of a router. The second line is the neighboring nodes of the routers (including the clients). The server IP address should be prefixed with "**".

For the SmartPlayer class, include a player.txt as the argument. The file should include the IP address of the neighboring router of the machine that runs the player.

Make sure to save the video file in a folder and modify the smartplayer and smartserver to point to the same video file. Or you can modify the code to read the folder from the configuration files.
