Hi, Has anyone measured the latency (delay) when streaming FLV from a video camera input to a client running latest version of the flash player? I am trying to see if flv streaming may be a better alternative to the div3 encoding I am using to stream to windows media player, which has a latency on t...

Hello, Up until now, I have been using the duplicate module in VLM mode to obtain two differently encoded output streams from a single firewire video camera input - DIV3 over MMSH and MJPEG over HTTP The following command line worked correctly in VLC 0.8.4a, but now fails under 0.8.6: new camera1 br...

For 1, I really would prefer to achieve JPEG snapshots directly from VLC's http module in the way I described without using the filesystem, from within VLM mode.

For 4, in VLM mode, how do you use bridge-in and bridge-out with multiple cameras and streams?

Can this option be used in VLM mode? What is the correct syntax?

In what circumstances won't the input-slave option work?

Hi, Here is a more detailed message I posted to the vlc developers mailing list with more info on the various enhancements: The Faculty of Engineering at UTS is prepared to pay developers to implement the following features that we need. If you are interested, please send me a private message. Most ...

Hi, I am from the Faculty of Engineering at UTS and we are using VLC in stream-output mode with dc1394 firewire cameras to implement remote labs for distance learning. The faculty is prepared to pay developers to implement the following features that we need. If you are interested, please send me a ...

I don't understand. Please give an example.

It didn't work - have you actually done this yourself?

Based on the changelog, I suspect it will be supported in version 0.9.

Hi, Can we please add the ability to source audio and video from separate input streams and then combine them together? I am streaming video from several cameras, but want all of them to use the same audio track from a USB microphone. What I would like to do, is to create a channel dedicated to stre...

Nope, problem still exists I really wish a developer would look into this - that is, provide proper support for periodically updated JPEG snapshots of a video stream. Also, I don't think the mixed/replace headers produced by the mpjpeg mux are completely correct - they might work for the Axis client...

I am using VLM. Can you please show me how this would be incorporated into the output chain inside my VLM configuration file. Here is an example of my current configuration: new camera1 broadcast enabled setup camera1 input dc1394:/dev/video1394/0:camera=0:size=320x240:adev=/dev/dsp: channels=1:fps=...

I am using VLC in stream-out mode with an Apple iSight webcam to monitor a very tall scene. I can get a far better image by rotating the camera 90 degrees to get a portrait view rather than a landscape view (e.g. so the image is 480x640 instead of 640x480). Unfortunately on the client end, the user ...

Andrea Guzzo has written a fantastic input module for IIDC-compliant Firewire cameras that are supported by the dc1394 driver under Linux. I believe that it should be incorporated into the next Linux release. It is on this website: http://dc1394-vlc.sourceforge.net/ The only limitation is that if yo...

I would like the ability for VLC to serve JPEG snapshots/still images to a client via HTTP. e.g. In internet explorer, the user would enter a URL like this: http://vlc-server:portnum/stream1.jpg They would then see a single image on the screen. VLC would either grab and encode the latest frame from ...

OK, I made some progress. I now believe that I am using VLC in a way that it is not technically designed to be (but should be). My intention was to obtain JPEG stills/snapshots by using the MJPEG codec with the raw muxer. When I retrieved images manually using wget, I found that individual frames we...
