I'm doing video-only streamign with VLC grabbing from several v4l webcams, transcoding to m4v format, and passing it off to a Darwin Streaming Server. My startup script: #!/bin/bash clear # $1 = sdp file name, put in /usr/local/movies # $2 = ip to broadcast udp to # $3 = port to broadcast udp to # $...
Use the dummy interface, its cronable. Might want to redirect output to a file instead of having cron mail it to you, especially if you use the -v argument
All - Where does VLC pull its codecs from? Can it use other things, like the "windows" dlls that mplayer can point to? Weird issues - I finally got things working for an important broadcast, but I have to use my personal desktop to do it. Running Ubuntu 6.10.... a second computer, also wit...
Trying to do this... just usign dvgrab to record an AVI and VLC can't play it - audio is screwed, video is a simple blue screen. Copy the avi to a windows machine and it plays fine.
Using dvgrab and vlc from Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.... any help?
Take a look at the Darwin Streaming Server from Apple. It is Free and free, and can relay streams, etc. Also VLC can grab mjpeg from your axis cam and reencode and pass off to darwin...
I need to do a live stream, which I can do no problem as soon as I get this issue fixed... Using Ubuntu 6.10. Data is provided by (atm) a VCR hooked up via RCA cables to a Magic Mac Box that converts component/rca to firewire, for my live broadcast a TV station will be giving me component/RCA feeds ...
Got it working. Moved firewire card to new/better computer (from Dell GX1 to GX270), changed component->firewire box to digital out (it was on analog),a nd it works for video. Sound is funky, thats another issue.
Read the article linked below - it explains how Vistas wonderful DRM will not allow you to play potentially protected content over anything too high quality or easy to re-capture - S/PDIF issues are mentioned explicitly.
According to http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch11.html Reading and the streaming from Firewire should be no issue.... heh. When I do: vlc -vvv dv/rawdv:///dev/raw1394 VLC starts up, but then stops and appears to be waiting for input. Checking the xterm I started VLC from, it is hangin...
Anyone able to tell me what the status of full v4l2 support is in vlc? VLC does a great job for what I need it for - sending a UDP stream to a Darwin server to be served up to the world. Unfortunately, all the new hardware available (cams, capture cards) are v4l2 only.... which vlc does not (yet) fu...
I think I have this sorta working proper, but I get "nothing to play" when I try and connect back to my darwin stream. My batch file does produce a SDP file that looks proper though... any help? Batch file to create stream and SDP file "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -v -...
Hi all... I've been doing this on the Linux side no problem but now I have to involve a windows machine... and I'm lost/stuck. :( I need to be able to create a bat file that will grab audio from the mic line on hte sound card, transcode it, create a SDP file, and pass it off in rtp format to our dar...
I use VLC with Darwin Streaming Server (from apple) and it generates a proper sdp file for me no problem. root@ubuntu:~# cat StartStream.sh #!/bin/bash clear # $1 = sdp file name, put in /usr/local/movies # $2 = ip to broadcast udp to # $3 = port to broadcast udp to echo \$1 should be the sdp file n...
I've been playing with some streaming using vlc to send to darwin and darwin to clients using quicktime. Works great while its on the same machine, I just specify the sdp file as being put out to /usr/local/movies/foo.sdp. However, this won't do for production - lots of camera machines, all sending ...
Use something like bmon on your server (or a test machine) and watch what's being used as each client connects. Using a v4l device as my input, streaming video at 320x240@10fps using mp4 format and no audio it uses 15-19K/sec/viewer coming out of my darwin server.
Take the command args from the window at the bottom of the VLC gui, and use that on your command line. Be sure to use the "-I dummy" argument to not start a GUI when you run vlc from the command line.
