Capture Device: Desktop. How can I stream my desktop?

Postby multiplex » 24 Apr 2009 14:27

I can stream the desktop without audio in the 0.8.6 with command line: vlc screen:// :screen-fps=30 :screen-caching=100 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=4096,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=10.0.0.6:1234}}
But it doesn't work in the 0.9.9 version. Then I found the Capture Device: Desktop, but I can't get it streaming sh*t. I'm a newbie so if someone could explain how does the desktop streaming work with audio in the new version?

I'm using this to stream the pc's desktop to another laptop witch works wirelessly so I can watch tv/movies/or posts via the stream.

Thanks!

Thanks VLC_Help :D ,
I can now see the picture, but its still abit laggy and I still can't hear any of the sounds...
Does vlc 0.9.9 even support desktop stream with audio?

screen:// doesn't support audio. Directshow does, but I don't know if you can merge them together via slave-input. If you do screen with 30 FPS, it is gonna be laggy if the resolution is bigger than 800x600 because there is way too much data to handle.
