Any updates on Ubuntu 9.10 integration? It looks like ffmpeg supports VDPAU with no tweaking (just did apt-get install ffmpeg) $ ffmpeg -formats | grep vdpau FFmpeg version SVN-r19352-4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al. ...

Can't see to get this working. On the server I run: vlc -vvv --color cuba.avi --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=1}:rtp{sdp=rtsp://server-ip:8080/test.sdp}" VLC starts transcoding, then I open QuickTime player on my Mac with rtsp://server-ip:8080/test...

Interesting, I'd like to know how you did that. It seems to me that VLC doesn't support RTSP ANNOUNCE (Automatic Unicast in QTB) - maybe you used Manual Unicast or something?

Oh, you weren't using VLC as the relay, you were just trying to connect it to DSS or some other server and view the live broadcast with a VLC client.

OK, I started a page here and did a brain-dump:

I'll try to keep it updated as I learn more.

Ressurecting old post :twisted: I don't think VLC supports the RTSP ANNOUNCE command so it can't receive a live broadcast from QuickTime Broadcaster for relay or display. If you send the live broadcast from QTB to Darwin Streaming Server then you could use VLC as a viewer client connected to DSS. Bu...

Try running this on your server:
Then clients should be able to stream from http://server-ip:8080

Look at the output for errors if it's not working.

I would like to use VLC as a reflector for live streams from Windows Media Encoder. I have it working where VLC pulls the stream from the encoder and then streams to clients like this: vlc mmsh://wmenc-ip:8080 --sout '#std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8080}' I would like to support PUSH encoding in WME...

Here's a brief description of why HTTP (progressive download) isn't ideal:

Thanks, I will join that list and follow up there.

I'll soon be starting work on enhancing VLC's VoD streaming to support RTP over RTSP (RTP over TCP aka interleaved RTP) and QuickTime Player's special RTSP/RTP in HTTP tunnel. This will allow the VoD server to stream to clients behind NAT and behind web proxies. Currently, if I'm not mistaken, VOD o...
