Now TMD v0.5 for Linux is available in the download page. Contrary to what was announced in the previous post, this release supports virtually all Linux distros as long as you have glibc version 2.17 or higher. There are two very positive aspects: 1) It is not necessary to specify a build for each Linux distro, greatly speeding up development times; 2) the user doesn’t have to navigate through the chaos of all the downloads looking for the most appropriate one for the Linux distro in use. Both the viewer and the server should start right away on any Desktop Linux distro (KDE or GNOME) without having to install anything else. So far it has been tested on both virtual and physical machines, on CentOS 7, CentOS 8, Ubuntu 20, Ubuntu 24, OpenSUSE 15 (more distros will be added soon). FFmpeg is still not supported, so the bandwidth usage may be higher than Windows (viewer) vs Windows (server). Please note: for tmdserver, you need to configure your firewall to allow port 4815, in this way:
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=4815/tcp --permanent
$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Only after that, you can start tmdserver process and connect into that from another machine. If it doesn’t work, try before with another application on the same port, like iperf3, or contact your system administrator.
