I've messed around with it for a couple of days and finally concluded that WMS 9 really refuses to read from any MMS source. Perhaps deliberately to make it more difficult to read Internet broadcasts and letting WMS store them to file? Anyway, I downgraded to the previous version of WMS (4.something...
if you are streaming in multicast keeping an access log is imposible due to the nature of multicast. If you use http or mmsh the ordinary vlc log will contain info on all connects, but it may need some processing to be useful What log are you referring to? I know vlc prints a notification in its me...
I can't seem to find a client access logging facility in vlc/vls. I need to be able to make monthly/weekly reports of our streaming service. I know windows media server keeps quite straightforward, rotating access logs, a bit like a webserver does. Where's the logging in vlc?
I want to run my stream through Windows Media Server. Is there any way I can feed WMS through vlc like a chain? I've tried vlc publishing over http and configuring WMS to source from a "remote publishing point", but wms complains about vlc's stream to be unsupported for no apparent reason....
Quick update. I've messed around with it a little more and my problem appears to be related to the mpeg file. vlc is incapable of publishing this one mpeg file through mmsh. Regardless of the streaming settings (encapsulation/codec/etc). It does play the file wonderfully, as well as streaming it ove...
tnx for the quick response. I just tried with all available audio codecs (mpga, mp3, mp4a, a52, vorb, flac and spx) and although I'm unfamiliar with most of them, none of them work. Or rather; vlc still barfs with "cannot add a new stream (unsuported while muxing for this format)" . I also...
Hi folks, I'm trying to feed a vanilla WMP from vlc. I've read most of the forum messages on this topic and used MMSH output on vlc with MPEG-TS encapsulation and WMV1/mp3 transcoding. Problem is, when I press play on vlc, it appears to start playing (I've disabled play-locally), but in the messages...
Which is also what we do now. We changed the resolution from 720x576 to 352x288. I'm not sure whether this really helps the interlacing, but at least it gives vlc 4 times more bandwidth for the compression (there are 4 times less pixels now). The resulting stamp-sized picture looks a lot better than...
The 250's interlacing is awful indeed! I can imagine it makes it much harder for compression, but can't it be switched off? It's a shame, because other than that the card is pretty good!
Maybe we are asking to much of the codec that is used with this kind of input and a bitrate below 1Mbps? When we use a higher bitrate the blockiness dissapears. No, I don't think so. When we let vlc transcode an arbirary high-bitrate video file on disk to 1Mbps, it looks stunning. I refuse to see h...
For clarity: Spectre is a collegue of mine. Markfm: I assume yours looks much better. Can you confirm that? Or perhaps even save a sample to file yourself and upload for comparison? Important note: the quality is especially low when there's a lot of movement on the screen, that's why we captured a b...
30% on a 3GHz P4 with hyperthreading? Hmm.. ours is a celeron 2.2, I would think that's actually a significant difference.
Still, how can the quality be so poor? As long as it's not at 100%, there shouldn't be a problem?
The card is capturing in 640x480 already. We tried different bitrates at the card as well. We run this on a 2.2GHz machine and it already eats about 90% cpu (w2k). Too bad I can't make a recording to show the quality here. It's a subjective thing, but the first reaction over here is always "wow...
Hi folks, We've been streaming video for some months now and somehow it seems as if there's a rather significant difference in quality between files and capture devices when transcoding. We've transcoded a high qualilty divx file to 768kbps MPEG1. The result is pretty impressive. With sound attached...
Wmp delay can be set smaller from options/buffering. I use 1 sec for buffering; 512 for video DIV3 and 128 for audio mp3. No probs with wmp9 here. hodgin So did we, but once the stream's bitrate drops below a certain critical level, WMP appears to ignore all user settings and just buffer for ages. ...
Something just came to mind! I don't know what the mpeg-ts format exactly looks like, but let's assume it defines individual packets, each with a header part and a body part. Assuming that the header contains asf stream info, could we simply read the packets, strip off the headers and concatenate th...
Hi Zorglub, We have used moonlight, but we found the installation too messy for complete non-technical people. They don't understand the necessity (you know how customers are ;-) ) Also, moonlight is commercial stuff and you end up with that very annoying bouncing logo all over your screen. We're re...
I've got the following scenario: At one LAN I have a vlc that offers its video on its built-in webserver on LAN 1. Then I have a client that connects to vlc and tunnels the stream to a component on another LAN. There I offer the stream using a standalone webserver with a servlet. The servlet simply ...
