The VideoLAN Forums

I have been successfully streaming *.ts files across my LAN (UDP) for some time now. I am attempting to stream across the internet and the server side plays locally just fine, and have set my TTL as high as 12 and always get the same error on the receiving end: " Main error - Unable to fill bu...

I did not want to say that you were wrong, I just wanted to add this point of view. I would be quite surprised that in 5 years, the most used video format in DTT in Europe still be MPEG-2 but I could be wrong. My point was also to underlined the fact that as soon as several commercial broadcast are ...

In my opinion MPEG 4 should not be placed in a MPEG 2 container. Mainconcepts was the first to allow h.264 in a PS or TS container. This allowed editors and broadcasters to use the new formats without the need for new programs. However it has also created incompatibilities and support problems. All...

but this is a different issue..

sure ;o)
regarding memory consumption, do they consume the same amount
of memory (and cpu ) ?

Nice idea muse, vlc to be started only by root, but I think this will not be a solution. Some more deep understanding is needed here. Perhaps the solution will come with how the vlc process is forked. if vlc is not launched by root but by an another user, then this user shoudl have the appropriate ...

OK it works :) But it works badly for me, image is far from perfect: http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/8572/vlcsnap559895ww1.th.png And the sound is stuttering all the way :? The command line I've used is: dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=642000 :dvb-bandwidth=8 :sout=#duplicate{dst=display} :sout-display-...

Can anyone help me with a problem? I am trying to combine a multicast audio stream and a video file to stream to a single multicast address, I have not had any luck...thanks

could you post the commands you already tried ?

(especially type of muxing)

do you know the audio/video format contained in your TS file ? audio/video codec, video FPS, (VBR , CBR ?) TS is the encapsulation format. For DVD the format is MPEG2-PS. Then for DVD you need to apply some constraints such as a maximum bitrate for instance that should be around 9 Mbits/s If the con...

what do you mean exactly by live feed ?

is it :
- analog broadcast TV,
- digital broadcast TV ( DVB-S or DVB-T ?)
- IPTV ?
- radio ?

BTW, may could you also state what is the OS your are targeting to use

I am using the dummy interface, any try ?

could you try without the --daemon parameter

do you have the 2 instances even if you are not launching the rc interface ?

by the way, if you want, just drop your script here and I will try it out on my machine.

may be coud you try a to know if the two instances are using the same command line parameters ?

I am also using Debian.
In my case, the PHP page is called by the www-data user and so
this user needs also the rights to access the dvb devices tree.

When I had this problem, I was able to find error messages in the apache log file saying permission denied

did you checked that www-data user has rights to access /dev/dvb/adaptorx directory ?

could you post some of your code here ?

One problem may come from the fact that the user www-data has not rights to access /dev/dvb/adaptor0 directory (DVB device) try to change those rights. one way to use super user commands is to add your php file to the /etc/sudoers page like this : www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/php -f var/www...

I think you need to use QuickTime Pro to hint your files ;o\

some answers could help us ;o)

- are you using unicast or multicast streaming ?
- could you write exact IP adresses you are using ?
- are you using blocking or non-blocking socket mode ?

- may be could you consider using errno to get more info on the error

what you need is to use your pctv card to create a stream from this card to the network choosing a codec with appropriate values for bitrate and other things. Did you already try to create a multicast stream on your local network from what you get from your card ? Once this is setup, you can create ...

what ttl value are you using ?


may be could you post the results of route command and
the pimd's configuration file ?

one solution could be to have one pc connected to the game as spectator for instance, duplicate the display output (many video cards can do that now) and use this clone to feed a video capture card input (may recent video cards are able to acquire an input signal) Next step is to use VLC for instanc...

did you try to compose a mosaic and adding/removing items ?

Make it simple :) C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc -vvv "C:\Video\swEp01.mpg" --sout="#transcode{sfilter=time,soverlay=time,vcodec="mp2v",vb=2000}:std{access=rtp,mux=ts,url=192.168.2.22:1234}' Thanks ;o) in fact, my command line is generated through a script and the script...

Looks like I was not so far away ;o) This command line is working correctly for me : C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc -vvv "C:\Video\swEp01.mpg" --sout="#transcode{sfilter=time,soverlay=time,vcodec="mp2v",vb=2000}:std" --sout-standard-access=rtp --sout-standard-mux=ts ...
