Now I guess I have to use VLC, but I have no interest in DVD capabilties, TV card handling or any X-based graphical capabilities. I just want a simple, scriptable, command-line-driven streaming server that runs on CentOS 4.x
Is this possible? I tried installing the binaries with both Yum and RPM but got stuck in dependency hell with RPM demanding a bunch of irrelevant packages like X and Samba that I have no intention of installing on a commercial web server.
I'm trying to do it from source now, but there are a gazillion configuration options to deal with. Isn't there some simple, single-option way to configure it as a non-graphical server like VLS?
Why is VLS deprecated anyway? Seems like there would be a lot of call for a server-specific version. Lumping the server and client into the same application makes no sense to me and seems like it would be a lot more work to maintain...but maybe that's just me
