Re: Do I install vlc on my server to embed it in a webpage?

You have mostly answered your own question... You can embed and link on a host server without VLC installed on that host. But it will need to point to the source on your computer/server with VLC installed. This means that it is your upstream bandwidth that will be used to supply the stream to the cl...

Re: Streaming on Apache help

In a local LAN you need the local or LAN IP in the asx metafile Or In a WAN you need the external IP of your router in the asx metafile You can't generally view one from the other, so suggest you create two asx files, one for lan and one for wan, also two web pages/links, again one for wan one for l...

Take a look at this post and the links therein

Re: live stream displaying in webpage

Do not embed in web page
Point the web link directly at the .asx metafile.
If VLC is the default media player on the client, then VLC will run as a "pop out" player

Re: video and audio not sync

I believe the only settings are: Synchronise on audio track, in Preferences Or command option <audio-sync> in transcode string DVB-T (or S) input devices have been reported to have problems with audio / video sync. Could possibly be a soundcard hardware related problem if using analog capture input?

Re: Newbie question on streaming

Suggest you get the latest copy from Videolan (Main Website link, top of this page!)
Verbosity setting (or detail) is at the bottom of the Messages (logs) window. You need to be watching that to find out what's going on.

Re: Newbie question on streaming

@ willowave h264 aac (mp4) is the default profile on VLC 1.1.x not h264 aac (TS) Are sure you have a genuine copy of VLC from Videolan? Otherwise You will have to do some detective work and go through a process of elimination. Eg try an alternative file (known good) type like mp3 with an mp3 audio o...

Re: Newbie question on streaming

I tried running a .m4v from usb mem stick
slightly eratic behaviour with straight h264 aac mp4 profile
Works reliably with h264 aac (TS) profile
So, suggest you try the h264 transport stream (TS) from the profile dropdown menu.

Re: Newbie question on streaming

Have you tried streaming a file from your servers hdd? Could be that the usb device is causing a problem?

Could be your firewall/ local security is causing a problem, eg port blocked

Open your Messages box (Tools menu) before streaming for an indication of whats going on.
