Hello i am trying to use VLM combined with HTTP interface. using command line, i managed to add my files to the playlist using this: vlc -I http [--http-src /sounds/mp3/ --http-host localhost:1234] but i am unable to access the files with another VLC player over HTTP. For example if i locally try to...

Hi,

JVLC group just released a new version of their librairies: binaries for both Linux and Windows. I did not try it but it might be now running fine without hard compilation.

Terve, thanks a lot for your help. Yes, it is obvious that VLC does not accept my stream because i did not tell it to do so. But the fact is that i cannot find a way to configure it so that it may eventually accept the streams. I try to use the "continuous stream" option in the VLC HTTP se...

Hi, yes i found out that also. Why VLC would not accept this stream? Do i need to send further information to VLC beforehand? I just read byte by byte lets say a mp4 files and send the byte arrays to VLC via UDP or HTTP. For HTTP i first need to initiate an HTTP connection by sending this: HTTP/1.0 ...

Hello, I have been investigating more HTTP and UDP streaming. When i try to stream file such as wav.mp4 files (sending raw bytes to VLC), i get this kind of errors in the messages output: main debug: adding playlist item `http://localhost:1234' ( http://localhost:1234 ) main debug: creating new inpu...

hi thanks, there are some format i did not manage to stream , like .avi and mp4 files. Would it be possible to convert them to a format which can be stream? what can command could i use to transcode any file to a format suitable for streaming? Can i do this on the fly using this http interface, VLM?...

Hello, I would like to use the VLC HTTP interface to put some movie file online so that they can be streamed. Is it possible to do that? Then it would be possible to access those with another VLC player using address such as http://localhost:8080/media/movie.mpg ? I would be glad to have some guidel...

Hello Thanks for your reply, i will give a try to UDP. Using RTP would bring me back to Java Media framework, i spent months with JMF and did not have successful results. For streaming more types of file i should first try to transcode the file to MPEG_TS with VLC? is it possible to transcode and st...

Hello, thanks for your reply. What other solution do i have to forward my stream to VLC from a java application? JVLC could have been a good solution but it seems their Linux support is really limitated and i never managed to run their example on my linux debian machine. I also tried to handle the m...

Hello, i am trying to forward a stream from a java application to VLC via HTTP. I started a serverSocket on port 1234 and VLC connect via HTTP with the address http://localhost:1234 When the socket is created , i first sent this tags to VLC: out.write( new String("HTTP/1.0 200 OK").getByte...

Hello i am trying to read a media file byte by byte, build UDP datagram and send this over my machine on port 5000. I started VLC player to listen on port 5000 UDP, VLC does receive something but does not display anything. here is my java code: I read an .avi file by chunck of 1024 bytes: System.out...

Hello thanks a again for your reply and the documentation. i did not manage to compile VLC from source either., i get some errors: when i run./bootstrap it notifies me this: "You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'" then later own i get this error: Co...

Hi
i was wondering if there is any VLC streaming server running and broadcasting constantly video content over the Internet? I could use one of those for testing purpose within my application.

thanks a lot
sebastien

Hello,

Does the VLC streaming server can be used as RTSP streaming server as well? By this i mean can we use this type of address:
“rtsp://” address [“:” port ] [ “/” type]

thanks a lot

Hello, I am trying to use the Java binding to VLC: jlvc: https://trac.videolan.org/jvlc to create a sample video streaming application between a PC and a mobile phone. My phone(Nokia N80) supports format like mp4 or 3gp. Does VLC supports transcoding to 3gp? any advises are welcome. best regards Sepi
