I can confirm that I use my Happauge PVR 350 to stream live Video and Audio trough the LAN. Using Win XP on both server and client.
It's a real spesial setup to get it working, but it does work. And I have to use VLC 0.7.2 and Windows Media Encoder 9 to get this working.
Windows media encoder can be downloaded from Microsoft if you don't have it.
- Start a Diectshow and use "Config" to setup the bitrate you want from your happauge card.
- Setup the output stream as you need. (Note: Transcoding option is not needed, unless you want somthing else that MPEG2).
Now before we start streaming we need to use Windows Media Encoder to get sound working, and to choose correct input source.
This is done in the "Windows Media Encoder", and it very important that these steps are followed!
- Open "Windows Media Encoder"
- If "Broadcast a live event" is highlighted click "OK". If not start a new
session, highlight it and click "OK".
- For the "Video" click "Configure..."
- In the drop down list for input choose the secound "Video Composite"
- Click "OK"
- Click "Cancel", and close "Windows Media Encoder"
Now you can start the VLC straming, and you'll get sound.
NOTE: If you stop the VLC stream you'll need to go through the steps with Windows Media Encoder to get the sound working again.
It's a pain in the ..... Just a small deviation from the above howto, and it won't work.
I think there is a fix for this in the upcomming 0.8.2 of VLC. I have tried getting a developer version that can confirm this, but not seen it yet. I'll keep trying though.
Hope this helps you out..
