The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, I was doing the same thing as you, streaming over a LAN, and I was able to reduce the lag time on my stream. I used mjpeg video codec with mp4 encapsulation (no audio mind you) and when I increased my FPS for mjpeg the lag was considerably less. My mjpeg frame rate was in the range of 3 to 12 FP...

Hi iwata. You are correct about the manual. But I need to stream mjpeg via rtsp stream to video server, then transcode stream to whatever (some standard format) and broadcast to any clients that connect. I cannot stream to client directly from camera either. I will try this just as a test, but the o...

That makes sense about an mp4 stream. Maybe vlc creates it's own dummy audio track because I never put any settings in for audio. Or maybe that is why qt did not like it. Yes, my camera is a security ip cam even though like you say I will not be using it for security. I plan to deploy it on a websit...

I finally got an http embedded vlc plugin player to pull an rtsp stream directly from my ipcamera (see code below), but I'm still having no luck getting it to work through vlc as a streaming server. Specifically, I can pull the stream from the cam to vlc via rtsp/mjpeg, I can stream it out (http/mjp...

I think I made a beginner's mistake. I tried to access the mp4 stream in a browser and it prompted me to use QT, so I assumed that QT would work. I'm sure you are correct then, I will defer to your expertise. I am technologically inclined, but the whole streaming server/codecs thing is a new experie...

Quicktime allows for this. But I'll use any encapsulation method and any client plugin for the browser that will do the trick! What do you suggest?

I have a machine using vlc to serve video across my lan. right now I can use vlc to view the stream from any computer on the lan, but I need to get this working on a webpage, so I'm trying to figure out how to embed the video object into the html. I have a couple questions: Do I need to use an sdp f...

What version of vlc are you using? How are you trying to access the second stream, through vlc client or on a webpage? I would suggest try to access the second stream with vlc with logging console enabled (click tools in the menu, click add interface, then debug logging). That will give you more fee...

I just found this pouring through the documentation. Is there anything special I need to modify about the examples at the link in order to get a live stream to work? Thanks.

Hi VLC_help and thanks for the reply. I actually did get the http interface working (I put my IP in the wrong section of the .hosts file). But I still can't stream. Here is my command line command from the computer doing the streaming: :sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=rtp{dst=192.168.254.29,mux=ts,p...

Thanks rh for the reply. Do I need to capture the video before streaming it? That may sound like a dumb question, but because it's an IP cam with it's own built in webserver, it already has a default http webpage which the video can be viewed in. But I want to stream it because I want to embed the l...

Great, thanks JB!

I still don't know where the log file is and I would still like to know where the logfile is, but I found that I can at least read the log if I turn on the debug interface.

I am trying to do a few things. I'm trying to stream either a wmv file via RTP or RTP over UDP or USB webcam from one computer to the other on a LAN, and I'm also trying to access the http interface to access from one machine to the other. I tried it both ways, to open a stream or to access the http...

Hi Greg (and all)!

Did you ever find a solution to stream video live to website that is cross browser compatible? I have an IP cam that I want to stream via MJPEG to my website. My webserver is apache. What do you recommend as the best method so far that you have tried? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, JB. I checked both of those spots, plus I did a search for *.log files, and came up with nothing.

My version of VLC is the latest 0.9.8a Grishenko. Can you tell me what the log file is named and maybe I can find it from there? Thanks.

Hello. I'm testing out VLC and getting to know it to see if it can meet my needs for a project. I tried the streaming from one windows computer to another on the same LAN for starters and I can get the first computer to stream, but the second computer which is supposed to receive the stream says it ...

Hi all. If VLC can do what I need, then it will be a lifesaver for me. :) I have an IP security cam with a built in webserver. I would like to be able to use VLC in order to stream the live video from the IP cam to a website. Reading the documentation, it appears that using a command line setup some...
