works great, -I http that is... thanx!

In Linux, I'm trying to launch vlc from a php script that I have written by using the following code: ------------------------------------------------------ shell_exec("nice -10 vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video:norm=ntsc:frequency=283262:size=320x240:channel=0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=0 --sout '#transcode{vc...

I'm streaming according to this page: http://www.videolan.org/doc/videolan-howto/en/softencoding.html However, at 640x480 the stream is jumpy. Right now my LAN is on 10bT, I dont know if this is affecting things. Also, the computer doing the encoding is a 1GHz PIII. Is there any way to buffer the st...

I tried using the broadcast but it is too slow on my LAN. The stream is too jumpy. When I sent to 224.0.0.0 nothing happened. For a multicast, more than one computer is getting sent the stream right? I am currently using Windows XP ICS as a router, and linux (slackware 9.1) to send the stream. How w...

actually I used tvtime-scanner and that works pretty well it searches all the channels. So you just take whatever number it gives as a channel and multiply it by 1000

I have finally got cable to stream, but all I am getting is green fuzz. I dont know the frequency ranges for us-cable. Here is the line I am using to stream. vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video:norm=ntsc:frequency=543:size=640x480:channel=0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=0 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=300...

I am trying to stream tv with vlc according to the example on this page: http://www.videolan.org/doc/videolan-howto/en/softencoding.html The only thing I made different was changing norm to NTSC. I compiled transcode without any special options and here is where the output starts to look like it isn...

vlc says it wants ffmpeg. I downloaded 0.4.8 from ffmpeg.sf.net and everything compiled fine. I think it only installed two programs, ffmpeg and ffserver.

are there some development packages I'm missing?

I can record TV using v4l drivers and mencoder. I am trying to get the mencoder to redirect to stdout and then pipe that in to vls to stream tv. But none of this is working. I can only output to an avi file. I am using this syntax: mencoder -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:norm=NTSC:adevice=/dev/...

I can use tvtime to watch tv and mencoder to record it but I'm trying to scan right now with the 'scan' program packaged with linux-dvb and I can't get it to work. Here is the error it gives me: root@iggy:/home/the251/dl/linuxtv-dvb-1.0.1/apps/scan# ./scan -c using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and ...

I believe real player has a streamer up on their site, I'm pretty sure I used it a year or so ago. You can't stream real in VLC yet but you can use the original real player stuff. Look for stuff with the name Helix in it on real players site, they had changed the names of some stuff. check out this ...

My LAN is currently on 192.168.0.x subnet. I want to stream to everyong on the LAN. I always thought that 192.168.0.255 was a multicast IP. How would I stream a file to everyone? Just send it to the multicast IP?

-cheers, ryan

I have been able to stream certain MPEGs doing a unicast stream in vls but I want to be able to stream any type of file, namely all my divX. How can I do this? Also, I finally got my TV card set up. It is just a simple WinTV card with plain DVB-T. I want to stream my cable, however in the docs it sa...
