You want to pause a live stream and put an add ? and then resume the stream ? I think so. I want to keep the stream going, but inject a ad into the stream instead of the live content. Once the ad is finished, or collection of ads are done, it would go back to the live content. VLC can do overlay te...

Anyone know of software that could enter ads into a live stream?

Also, anyone know of anything that will allow me to overlay text on a stream and change it up on the fly?

Thanks smokin for your help. Right now I'm going from a WinXP machine to a Win2k3 server so the Linux part might be a difference that might not workout for me, but I'm going to give this another go tonight. I got a new camera with a firewire port so I'm hoping this works. I'll keep you posted.

I'm in the exact same boat. I'll check Darwin out and see if that helps me out. I'm coming from a webcam, want to send it to my server (need to set that up), and then out to the users. I'll post back with any results.

Does anyone know of any walkthroughs anywhere for any application that will walk me through setting up a webcam computer, to a server, and out to users? I'd love to be able to setup a remote web cam station that could broadcast events. TIA

I am hitting refresh, hit ok, but no video. I'm guessing it doesn't support my web cam. If there's a way to do this stuff via Windows Media Encoder, that'd be great. Comes up just fine in that one...?

then it's not a streaming problem, but an access problem which driver do you use to access the cam ? Access problem to what the video? Could I use Windows Media Encoder? I can see the video fine in that one. I just use the latest drivers that I downloaded from Logitech's site for the Quickcam 4000.

before streaming, you should try if you can see the webcam output on the local pc

Within VLC? Or any application? I am NOT able to see it in VLC. The webcam just turns on.

My bad, I'm using a Quickcam 4000 in Windows XP. Server is Windows 2003. Question, can I use Windows Media Encoder to send the video to the server setup with VLC? I've used that along with Windows Media Server to accomplish this in the past. I can't figure out how to set that up again either. I have...

I keep fiddling with things, one of the things I notice is how do I know if things are working? On my remote machine, with the video source, what happens when I connect to the server correctly? Right now I see a timer that counts upwards but I don't see any source video or anything. On my server, ho...

I'm having problems understanding how to stream a webcam device out to a server so that users can connect and view the stream. What I'd love is if someone can point me to or explain how to: 1) Set up the video casting device (in this case a webcam) to connect to the server. I believe this is "O...
