Controlling VLC Server remotely by a Java application

Postby fabian23 » 23 Mar 2010 16:37

I have developed a distributed Java framework. This framework must be able to start streaming a particular video resource. I thing that VLC Streaming server is what I need. But, I have some problems regarding the way how my application (a Java based client) will "communicate with VLC application. The VLC software can be installed locally but can reside as well remotely.
The VLC Streaming server must start streaming a resource located on on web, using a udp or rtp protocol. I test it locally with the following parameters and is working:

Code: Select all

vlc input_file --sout=#sdt(dst=127.0.0.1, port=1234, access=udp, mux=ts)
What I would like to do is to be able to send (pass) some how this parameters to the VLC application. I’ve been using

Code: Select all

Runtime.getRuntime.exec(cmd)
but this is working locally.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
