qtcapture and sound

[simonb]

I am streaming live video from a MacBook Pro using qtcapture as a source.

Code: Select all

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC qtcapture:// ...etc...

There isn't any sound being streamed. I found an old dev list post indicating that the original version did not capture sound.

I am not sure if this is still the case.

If qtcapture does not capture sound then is there any way to do this with, say, --input-slave.

Apologies, I'm a bit lost on MacOS and am on a steep learning curve right now.

I don't think it can capture microphone sound yet: ref: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/ ... nSKtsEMxLK

speaking of mac audio...if qtcapture included audio (like that patch attempts) would that mean it can capture audio from the mic jack as a member of qtcapture? Is there any way to capture the mic in OS X currently?
Thanks!

right now qtcapture does not include audio. i'm working on getting it done...
@simonb: i think input-slave is broken; i tried this some time ago, also posted questions here... no success
@rogerdpack: yes it would be a member of qtcapture, but i'm not 100% sure about that, due to thread safety; currently with VLC i'm not aware of any method to capture from mic; alternatively you can use quicktimebroadcaster for the time being to capture audio

I'd love to help. I could donate a bounty $100 if it gets finished with audio!

A patch for this popped up on our development mailing list, so we might have something working just in time for VLC 1.2. Stay tuned!
